Yes it has been sold already.

Yeah, you can quit the SCA but you really can't quit shoveling snow. Even turning a snowblower put a good bit of torque on the shoulders. So does a really old push lawnmower.. 5 pulls to start and my shoulder was killing me afterwards. I am not looking forward to this winter at all luckily have abo...

Ok.. for all that have paid with Paypal.. your items will ship out tomorrow ( forgot I had conferences for my daughter tonight) As for the injury they do believe it is Rotator related and do recommend surgery sooner rather than later. I will probably give it a year and get it done then more so I hav...

Brennus of Edes

Oh I am sure I will regret it.. but as you say Hjalmr.. it is a good reason to buy new stuff if I do decide to return. Right now though the doctor told me to either quite fighting or have surgery.. so I do not want surgery and I hate having stuff sitting around that I can't use currently. Thanks to ...

Ok items that are spoken for pending payment are everything but the Bazuband/elbow pads. if for some reason you have difficulty getting through the PM system you can email me at abeidson@yahoo.com which is also my paypal address. Please email before paying for anything unless you have a PM from me. ...

I injured my shoulder back in February shoveling snow and tried to work through them. Unfortunately therapy has not helped and it hurts to throw shots anymore so I am getting rid of all my stuff. I will use flat rate boxes on everything unless asked otherwise. So most will fit in a medium box which ...

I have heard of people adding a thin spray rubber on the inside of their helmets to help prevent rust as well as soak up some of the vibrations that may cause ringing in the helm but as long as it is a properly made helm you should not be worried about it getting destroyed in sca combat.

Anyone out there with any Groo? I've got a Marvel and some DC from the late 80's early 90's, buncha the X-men spin-offs. I just sold all my old Groo comics to a friend over the winter.. the only comics I have now are the Ultimate Fantastic 4 comics and the newer She Hulk ones that my daughter reads.

Nice... now is the head of the spear made from leather or is it just made for stabbing at people so all foam?

I do this as well (when swung at) but I think my problem is that I use a loaner helm and it doesn't fit quite right. I also wear my glasses under my helm which could be part of the issue. I found doing some of the Duke U 2 person exercises helped a lot because you can't close your eyes or you will h...

You mean this one? I had to use Wood Stand instead of Wooden stand.. if I used Wooden it gave me a white screen as well.

I think most have said a heavy weight linen like you can get from Fabric-store.com is probably the best.

Brennus of Edes

So when is your full set of Keg armor coming out.. I might know some people who may be interested.

I currently use the metal support beams in my basement surrounded with sound proofing foam. The only problem I have is I can only do flat snaps/leg shots and nothing with a high arc because I hit the ceiling..

Brennus of Edes

As was mentioned in the Rhino thread maybe have him check his sword as maybe it is a weapon issue of the rattan going soft but not breaking. If you fight him and feel they are good then it may be an issue attitude and maybe setup a "tourney" where everyone is watching the fighters and see if that he...

I have hockey gloves I use ( mainly behind my shield) but they are extremely bulky and I have been looking at finger gauntlets to alleviate the ugliness of them. Lacrosse gloves look similar but seem to have a little less padding especially in the thumb area than hockey gloves but I have never used ...

Said it before and Ill say it again, come over to the dark side. If you care to try it either put in $5 for our tourney at Pennsic or come out to our fight practice.

Probably because he is on his way to Gulf wars and won't be available for a bit.

Cool! Is he able to send the 9 footers in the mail or is there a limit? Plus how mush? :D I am sure he can I think Shipping gets a little pricey the longer the length of rattan.

He is at Gulf I think right now but he will ship them any size you want though I think most of his stuff is 9 foot he will cut to size you want and ship them that way.

Brennus of Edes

It is weight based.. you could probably get 2 pairs in those boxes. If more you may want to go with the medium or even large flat rate boxes. Medium flat rate is 10.70 and large is 14.50. you can check here http://www.usps.com/prices/priority-mail-prices.htm for pricing based on weight and zone to f...
