Valley of the Fir Trees

It just so happens that I have that very thing, sitting in a closet, in reinforced plywood. No holes or hardware, could ship tomorrow.

PM me, we can discuss details...

Valley of the Fir Trees

Dude, If it was a little bigger, you would have a sale. Unfortunately, it won't fit. Iwill pass it around though, see if anyone I know is interested.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Damn it! Day late and a dollar short, story of my life with armour that would actually fit.

Valley of the Fir Trees

I've been fighting in one of their Bascinets for a couple of months now. TVery well made, and you can't beat the price. A couple of minor things, though. I also felt that the line was too thin, so I replaced it almost immediately. Wasnt a big fan of the chinstrap either. Based on what I've heard ove...

Valley of the Fir Trees

I'm in for $45

Valley of the Fir Trees

I'm interested in a broadsword or two but would like to see more pics before making a commitment.

I have one of these, and I love it.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Just for info... I ordered a pair of the late 14th century turn shoes on the last group order thal talaananthes did. I am one of those guys with larger feet, I wear a size 13. I have worn these shoes now 5 or 6 times to events, and have been very pleased. I thought they were a tad narrow at first, b...

I have had several shields that were made using this process.

Hope it helps.

Valley of the Fir Trees

I would be interested in a jug as well if you are making more.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Looks great. Not in the market for that style, but anyone who is would be dumb not to jump on one of these.

Have any of these hanging out in your partially complete pile?

Ive been wanting one for quite some time...

Valley of the Fir Trees

Check out this tutorial by Sir Bartholomew Hightower of Artemisia. I have had him make me a shield, and used his techniques to make my own. The specific example is for a kite, but same principles apply to heater or any other curved shield. The rawhide edging technique can be used for any size or sha...

I will second rough from the hammer. I just bought a globose from him a couple months ago. Really all I had to do to it was a few hours of sanding and polishing, added some straps, and done. Good quality, good price.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Looks great!

Working toward a similar look myself. Currently a work in progress, nice to see someone who's got it together.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Interested in the SS legs. Could you possibly give a little detail about size?

Valley of the Fir Trees

Idaho Falls is awesome LOTS of GREAT people up there that is where i started playing. You will be right next to Uprising which is a great camping event think it happens in next couple weeks. Sorry for the sidetrack here, but Uprising was last weekend, and it is by far my favorite event. Anyone else...

Valley of the Fir Trees

I am actually interested in this helm. Wasnt specifically looking for a burg, but this would fit, and if the price is right, why not?

Put up some pics, give me an idea of price, and we'll see whats what.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Interested in cased greaves with sabatons. I would like dibs, depending on furthere sizing info and pics.

Valley of the Fir Trees

I will post some pics in a day or two, as soon as I have a chance to take some.

A&C has a good rep already, but I wanted to add my 2 cents. I decided to move into the 14th Century, and I needed some gear. I had decided on a back point Bascinet, aventail, period liner, interchangable visors - the works. I spent a great deal of time doing research, talking to people, asking quest...

Valley of the Fir Trees

I had similar "issues" with email communication...asking several questions and only receiving answers to some of them. I chalked it up to language differences. I simplified my wording, asked single part questions and that seemed to fix the issue for me. I haven't received my helm yet, but it is in t...

Valley of the Fir Trees

How long have you been waiting between emails? I too currently have an order with them. I have asked for several updates, and they have gotten back to me each time, but it does take a day or two for them to respond.

Something to do with being on the other side of the world I guess.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Interested, but would like actual measurements. I have pretty big hands.

Valley of the Fir Trees

I just saw this thread, sorry for my late arrival.

Valley of the Fir Trees

You willing to break up the stephen king stuff? I don't wat the paperbacks or weave world but I would be interested in all the other hardbacks.

Valley of the Fir Trees

Maybe you are overreacting a bit here...this kind of stuff can be frustrating, however if you communicate with the guys at A&C I think it can get worked out. I typically only wait a day or two between emails with those guys. If you make it plain that you are concerned, I'm sure they will respond qui...

Valley of the Fir Trees

holy crap, amazing!

I am currently working on a late 14th kit, and those would fit what I want perfectly. Is it bad form to inquire about price? Just want an idea if something from Hammerbreaker would even be in my price range...

I'm more of an old school combat boot wearer. this is the pair I've been wearing for years. I've done lots of running and climbing and just about everything you can think of in 'em, including SCA combat. I don't wear the waterproof ones, but they are available. http://www.corcoranandmatterhorn.com/I...
