They are looking great.

Jestyr

Sure. I borrowed heavily from a number of different versions online. I also have the entire invocation, if you want to PM me your email address.

Let all princes, lords, barons, knights, squires and men-at-arms of the Kingdom of Trimaris, and all other known world kingdoms, who are not banished or enemies of our king, know that beginning at noon on the 21st day of January in the year 2012, the Shire of Sangre del Sol will host a great festiva...

Any of the good helm armourers can size it appropriately (Windrose, IceFalcon, Donngal, Shamrock, WMA, etc.). It is just a matter of what they want and what they can spend.

Jestyr

and again, the only belt that is reserved is the white belt of a knight. squires wear whatever they wish as does anyone else. of course when we talk about what is clearly reserved andwhat is not flks get quiet when someone suggests that if the young "tradition" of allowig non-knights to w...

If you can be somewhat flexible with your travel days, I'd love to cross swords with you on Wednesday night. Actually I just found out I'm not leaving till Thursday, so I would love to come. Is this the time and place? Also, I can't get my sword and shield to fit into my luggage, would someone have...

Unfortunately, nothing on Monday or Tuesday night. This Sunday during the day in Fort Myers (about 2 hours from Fort Lauderdale), we have a regional practice. On Wednesday night, there is a practice in Fort Lauderdale (technically Davie). Nothing on Monday or Tuesday night that I know of (and I'd be...

I have a 12' round and have been happy with it.

They are not as nice as Panther in the sense that they are not as well made, don't go up as tightly, etc., but they are an excellent value.

Jestyr

1) New hand embroidered tunic based on the Liber ad honorem Augusti. New hand sewn fighting tunics. New shield using the Gryfynclaw technique. Titanium mail (this might not happen). Silk banner.

2) Machine trim.

3) Ring belts. Moccasins with the fringe. Pirates and other Renn Faire rejects.

http://www.ringmesh.com/default.asp Has anyone actually, held/seen/used their welded stainless maille? Ever do business with them? I want something durable and super light to complete the impression for Pas ect.. so I don't need it as primary defense. Just want to make sure it isn't going to tear u...

I use a pair based on Blackoak's tutorial.

The profile isn't *quite* right, but on your feet, they look pretty good. (They are soccer cleats underneath.)

Jestyr

Its much easier to get people to listen if you wear a special hat, a belt of a certain color or scarf on your arm. There may be some truth to that, but overall I do not I fully agree. Like Blackoak said, there are some that will only listen to a peer, but the vast majority of people listen to peopl...

Well what looks good to one person doesnt look as good to another,period or not. you could have a group of very period good lookin 14th century fighters standing around and another Greek fighter with ok gear and if its done well i wont notice the 14th century guys,just the greek guy. That also why ...

The problem as I see it is that armor pieces have to be made a certain way in order to be legal and safe in SCA fighting, heavy or light. A Dane warrior for example needs to have elbow and knee guards and neck protection, but the Danes didn't really wear any of these things. I agree that plastic sh...

I've never seen shields made of the 5052, but if you've used them successfully they should be fine. You will be shipping to a business address (this usually saves a few dollars). Please get me a cost for shipping, and PLEASE don't use the UPS store for that cost.

Thanks!

Jestyr

Upon another phone call, I will take all four 24x36 rectangles (as well as the two heaters, for a total of 6 shields) pending the questions asked.

Jestyr

I will take tentative dibs on
- 24x36 heater
- 24x31 heater
- 24x36 scutum
- 24x36 scutum (I want two of these)

Pending a few questions.

What alloy are they?
What will the shipping costs be to 33317?

Thanks.

Jestyr

For pictures, may I strongly suggest you look through the work of Ursus of Anglesey. His work is excellent, to be sure, but I had something a bit more direct. If there is a similar photo(s) of each kit, then all the viewer is going to do is look and see what they *like*, not what photos show the ki...

Jestyr

This is somewhat ironic timing, as I have had an idea to do a manual for a while now (you can ask maxntrpy as I mentioned it to him a month back). I even wrote a introduction post, but was waiting to get some photos of my kit to give people an example of what we were going for. I'll do a quick examp...

Jestyr

I'll let my friend know. She will probably contact you directly (she already has).

Jestyr

Are either of the first two still available? If so, I would prefer the one with the holes.

Jestyr

If the deal falls through with Theron, I would like second dibs.

Jestyr

Pending size, the person I put dibs in for said they want it. She emailed the OP directly, as well.

Jestyr

Tentative dibs for a friend.

What size is it?

Jestyr

How is this different from the EVA foam that Windrose sells?

One of my guys fights in a hospitaller robe. It is no different than fighting in a tunic, and you don't notice it when you are fighting. I made his out of 7oz linen and it has held up well. I would definitely make it (or have it custom made), since you will need to build it to be comfortable OVER yo...

Jestyr

Awesome. Love it.

Jestyr

I suppose I should chime in here. 1) Obviously, I know Max reasonably well. While occasionally he is prone to bouts of pedantry, he *is* very bright and knows his stuff. He, more importantly, a really good guy who simply wants to address points as they are raised. He gives them reasoned thought and ...

Hunh.

I am really having trouble with this concept.

Jestyr

I use, but am not totally happy with, a pair of non-hardened, leather cuises with an attached aluminum, wingless knee cop. Sort of sort of attachment that a lot of 14th century people use, but not terribly pretty. They are comfortable, which I like, not terribly protective to the leg (takes the stin...

True, but we've been together for over six years. The congratulations should be that I managed to hold a thirty-something jewish girl off for that long!

Aidan and Kenwrec, it is looking great.

I can't wait to hit it.

I am going to be redesigning the Sangre website to have a lot more curb appeal, as well as more information. It will be consistent with our other marketing efforts.
