Just got done playing. After the initial hiccups from any beta test it was an absolute blast. I actually got home at 8pm est and including hooking up the microphone and signing up for a roll 20 account took all of 5 minutes before I was in the game. It was a fantastic evening with some fantastic peo...

Sorry I wasn't clear. Using Google hangouts to supplement while running Roll 20. I've done some RPGs where I'm running fantasy ground on my comp and then Google hangouts on my phone. Limits processing power on a slower computer.

deflagratio

Can I recommend Google hangouts? It's free and will run on most phones. I know when I normally play RPG'S online we use that.

deflagratio

I'm game.

I like the thought process here. In regards to the woodworking question even St. Thomas guild uses power tools to craft a lot of their period tools.

I don't know if England has Abstractors but you might want to check. In the US Abstractors do all the research on a property to make sure the person selling it actually has the right to do so. This often involves wills. Lawyers use them and they are mostly contractors. If England has the same profes...

I have the smaller of Panther's Bell Wedges and the only time I set it up with the ridge pole is if I am using the awning as well. Of course my ridge pole is maybe 4 feet long.

Awesome. So not this upcoming Tuesday but hopefully next Tuesday?

I'm in the Barony and a recent transplant from Alabama. Site for Fighter practice is at Battery Park Christian Church
4201 Brook Road, Richmond, VA 23227 starting at 7pm. I fight rapier but let me know if you are planning to go this Tuesday and I'll let some people no.

Sorry for the resurrection but I'm starting to do my preliminary research on the same style chest and have run across a lot of the same sources. The one thing that is driving me crazy right now is the attachment of the side panels. If you look at the images on http://thomasguild.blogspot.nl/search/l...

It is very true. This type of bias is also what lead to the celebration issue in modern fencing where celebrating every hit is basically mandatory basically mandatory because it influences referees.

There is also a Two Tap 7.5 cubic foot keezer with 4 Kegs for $300. I'll get pics tomorrow. If you get both I can get it all to Virginia.

deflagratio

With the move to Virginia I will have no room for my all grain setup so my loss can be your gain. Selling for $200. I am in the Dothan, Al and will deliver to Panama City, Fl or to Birmingham, Al. pictures can be seen here. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100111030316740.1073741828.58900...

My brain is thinking no real hardware. Just leather hinges. And easy upgrade option.

6 board chests (especially kits), Viking chests done the same. Trestle tables and sawhorse tables. You lace it rope beds seem like they would be popular and keep cost down. Medium grade stuff that many couldn't make themselves but could impulse buy at events. If the chest kit was sub $40 it would se...

Just from looking what is in the thread this type of cabinet is common in the bedroom and dining room. It ia in use across multiple social stations at the same time. Dining rooms of the more wealthy tend to have extra shelves on top for displaying plate. Ones in bedrooms tend to have a pitcher, a ba...

Honestly I would go the plywood route. The heavy boxes help promote teamwork. Ours could have two legs slid in sideways to form handles for 4 children to carry it. Ours had its own legs so it didn't take valuable table space.

J., As a guy who joined this community at a young age when nearly every aspect of reenactment and SCA combat seemed exciting to me, one of the most important things for me was to get out and just start doing it. Get together a simple suit of armour that is protective and fits you well, use loaner g...

What is the size of the mismatched chausses?

deflagratio

Basically any size would work. I would probably say 9 mm to make sure my existing round butted fits without issue.

deflagratio

I was hoping someone had some scrap or could catch someone in the middle of making something. Thank you for the suggestion of the rivet tool and loose rings. I'll probably try that in December as the November project budget is already earmarked.

Good morning everyone, I am actively saving up to replace my butted aventail with a rivetted one but in the meantime I would like to get a string of 68 rivetted mail links to help suspend the butted aventail. My current aventail keeps slipping off the string that is suspending it. How much would a l...

Just got the federachwert tonight. I absolutely love it. It was shipped disassembled at my request and it assembled in no time. I have been using a Hanwei Practical Hand and a Half but many better products are available now and the Hanwei is cramped with my gauntlets. Llewelyn Gododdin was great to ...

How much would shipping be to 36374?

Not practical experience but something I've witnessed on Facebook and the Archive. If you want a period tent, many people will buy one with full setup package from Panther and have it delivered at Pennsic. At the end of the even they then sell it for a few hundred dollars off. In the end they end up...

My visor is shaped very similar to a shovel face. It is rimmed with welded on round stock. A friend of mine made it for me. I get pretty good visibility out of it. It is attached to a permanent hinge. If/When I go back and get a real visor made for it I'm going to either swap out the hinge for a qui...

This is my cut and thrust kit. Over time I'm going to build up a full 14th century armoured kit with the idea of doing either a Pas or armour as worn fights. I know I need some longer chausses
