My girlfriend says that cleaning house is scientifically proven to be good exercise. This will have added benifits. Your wife/GF will be apreciative, which may lead to other aerobic type exercises.

Is that the aventail that goes for $175 at Icefalcon? How long ago did you add it and how much is the total weight of the helmet? Also (kind of important), what size head does this fit? Yep, that's the one. I added back in the summer, but since I haven't fought in 6 months ( ) it is still like new....

Paul the Small

Crap!! I forgot all about Gulf Wars. I'm a loser and don't get to go this year.

Paul the Small

Wow, only 2 bids? I figured there would be more interest in these.

Before shovel face was added.

The main thing I remember about the helmets is the guy in the sword tourney scene with a sallet and no bevor. <shudder> That just looks painful.

Now why would you go and do something like that?
Somebody tell you you ain't gettin' an award long as you keep wearin' your funny outfit?

PM Sent, so I don't make an ass of myself on a public forum.

With padding it fit my 24" head pretty well. I may have the padding for it still. If I do I'll include it.

Paul the Small

I kinda hate to do it because it's finally starting to look o.k. after almost 10 years, but I need to sell my helm. I'm changing personas so need something for late 14th Century England. It started off as an Ashcraft Baker spun top helm. It's been blackened, had an IceFalcon rivited aventail added, ...

This is a helm top to make a turban helm. It started off as a late period Turkish helm by WildArmour. I started modifying it into a turban helm but never finished. It is REALLY thick cold rolled steel. It has been painted inside and out with an acrylic paint in preperation to acid etch and to keep i...

Spring stainless finger bucklers I got a couple years ago and never did anything with. They have been drilled to add straps, but are not strapped yet. Auction running until Monday at noon. Starting bid $25 US + Shipping. [img]http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt294/paul-the-small/For%20Sale/FingerB...

Paul the Small

I guess so.... Sorry if you've put a lot of work in to it.

Paul the Small

Up next in my changing personas auctions is a pair of 16 gauge stainless steel bauzabands. These were made about 5 or 6 years ago by armour and castings. I changed the straps a year or so back. They have some mild to moderate dents and tape scuffs in them, but are still in good shape. I don't have m...

I can't resist the lure of the dark side anymore, so I'm changing personas to 14th C. English. To this end I'm selling all of my Middle Eastern gear. Since I really have no clue how much any of this is worth, I'll run it as an auction. First up is a gambison I made from a Mongolian shirt pattern. Co...

Wow, eight replys and not a single Hamlet reference....

There are many diffeent styles of jousting and many different time periods as far as armor is concerned. You can do early period open field jousting with pretty much maille and plate you would wear in the SCA or you can get uber specific tilting armor for later period jousting. ... That's true. I g...

Paul the Small

I've got a pair of spring stainless ones laying around. Would that work?

Paul the Small

I'll second the request for a website. I want to get into jousting pretty badly. I would like to know just how much I need to rob... I mean save... to get kitted out.

I guess I could always sell a kidney on the black market... If I could find the black market....

Paul the Small

Thanks guys, there have been some good suggestions here. I like the ideas Irish put out there. That would look really sweet. I just don't know if I can move the chain down or not, it fits pretty tight as it is. I'll have to take a look when I get home this afternoon. So would gold paint work for add...

Paul the Small

I've been working on upgrading my kit, so I've been making my old helm look more middle eastern in apperance. I'm shooting for something like a turban helm. It started off as an Ashcraft Baker spun top, but has been pretty heavily modified. I've blackened it, added an Icefalcon rivited camail, and I...

The guard is on the side grinder for a reason. No matter how much it seems in the way, do not take it off and throw it away.

Cute, but not terribly protective.

Paul the Small

I have to second the arnica. It will even keep a bruise from forming if you apply quickly enough.

Paul the Small

We will get some pics up when they come in. They are going to be sized for large hands (4 inches across the knuckles, palm down) at first and we will go for extra sizes if they are cool. Wow, 4" at the knuckle is large? My hand is 41/2" without even a glove on. No wonder I can never find ...
