anyone seen southpark?

Samuel

James,

where you in Drachenwald in 1991? I ask because I recall an armorer there with one gothic german gauntlet who was wearing it around site.. I think it was second crown tourney.....

Samuel

Ill sell my 200 lbs anvil for 350.00 IF I dont have to move it. aka you pick it up in Cincinnati. ( crown tourney is in town)

Samuel

jp could you send me your supplier for the steel?

Id like to shape some gaunts and get them hardend.

Samuel

Milesent, If a Female could make a working gambison that supports the "chesty" side then thats less cloth to wear and less Heat buildup. a well fitted gambison would do the job quite well. the only thing I can think of that may hinder is the "heavy water days" where a bit of bloating may make the ga...

Samuel

im interested in getting rid of it. its in great condition so im not letting it go for a song...

Samuel

anyhow my thought of a female version of gambison was use the old t-shirt and ducttape method of fitting then draw in seams where needed to get flat cloth to form to a shapely body..... aka the center seam in front along with two seams running down the lenght of the breasts then side seams. then two...

Samuel

wow.... this just brought a whole new variable into fighting for my view... we guys got it so easy, you never will hear a guy say " yea well im just not on my game today, I got this new gambison and my boobs are bouncing inside it and well im gettin a bit sensitive.." Ill have to shake my head back ...

Samuel

I got a 200lb anvil in Cincinnati.... not currently in use...

but id expect a good bit for it since Ive wanted one forever and just fell into this one recently.
ONly reason why id consider getting rid of it is it isnt getting used now. ( no shop)

Samuel

oh did you guys notice the bar grill jig?
now that is one cool toy...

shame your making a match to that raized gaunt. I was gonna try the " well im lefthanded and you only have a lefthanded one.... maybe you should donate that to the poor knight of Samuel.. it could be a tax write off"

Samuel

Cad re enforces my believe that armor is sexy once again.... only one of three guys I know that can make a piece of armor make grown men drool, moan, and want more. Cad what events are you planing on hitting in the future. I wanna talk with you about a globose visor idea I got. ( gotta ask Zeus how ...

Samuel

pillaging the english..

Samuel

looks cool... just some ideas that may get you differnt mileage.. Fit the visor a bit tighter. and if you have a welder and are willing weld the lower jaw to the bottom of the snout. ( you could make a half cone and dish that nice then cut the snout off the face its on now and match it up to the oth...

Samuel

those brother are satellite dishes so the aliens can communicate with the wearer easier telling them " yes throw wrap shot now" or "DUCK"

you should know this being a mutant lefty as well..

Samuel

Samuel

Ivar,

I can probably sell a crap load of those here in the midrealm how many you got?

Samuel

whats your price on those gaunts?

Samuel

guys, the top is Cads it came welded and dished fully...

ergo its not hard to make a cool helm when the key peice is already awesome. all you have to do then is not screw it up too bad:-)

Samuel

what about going to sylo flex shelled swords for these scabbards?

it would give you an exact fit every time and allow you to replace the blade with minimal work as well as still be a solid stick
????

Samuel

so when should I expect those JP

Samuel

leather sewn pole axes are the shiznit. well done..

Samuel

about two years ago on the eve of getting knighted I asked Master Cad ( my Laurel Hero) for a top. he sent me one which I finished out based on some of the things he does with his helms. here are the pics ( I know two years is a long time to wait to post but Ive just gotten a digital camera this las...

Samuel

very nice work adam.

Samuel

yup Cleako Pin clamps.. check some of the auto body repair sites on-line

Samuel

I drilled a hole in one of my old beat up hammer handles for setting rivets. it was a solid steel handle and the top of the hammer head was flat. worked well till I lost it:-) I sharpend the end of some electrical conduit for a leather punch and hammered the other end together a bit for ease in stri...

Samuel

Whoa.... Just because His Grace isnt a fan of jumping out and taking a view from one side and making "proclimations" doesnt mean he isnt a a religous man etc... It means he treads with caution thats it. his disapproval of Vitus' automatic condemnation from a one sided tale is not out of bounds.. so ...

Samuel

Im a fan of 20 guage wire. one silver and one brass twisted together.

the holes on my vervelles are sorta sharp around the edges and I didnt file them well. ( now theyre on and I cant get a reamer in on the holes)

Samuel

If you have to ask your already wrong. IMO this "issue" has already reached its limit with you and now instead of bucking up and doing what you know you want to your seeking justification and courage from the rest of us. None of us here can give your the fortitude to do what you already know to be r...

Samuel

Samuels List of things he has yet to do 1.make a new shield with a better Fluer than the one I cut out almost 10 years ago... ( sure dont look like a fluer now.) 2. one word many headaches GREAVES. Cad was cool enough to pass on his greave pattern almost four years ago now.. Ive yet to be able to ma...

Samuel

Im a fan Of Lutel swords. BUT Ive never sparred with it. I just like them becuase thier design allows you to modify it fairly easy with different hilts and theyre easy to repair. although a square tang would keep the pommel from rotating and lutel doesnt have anyhting in thier design that keeps the ...

Samuel

Congrats Dmitry and Alaric on your new jobs:-) and Dagonet welcome to the Order:-) Its a great day for the game when men of fine charicter gain positions in rule over areas. and have such wonderful Ladies along side them. Ill be sure to toast the new Prince and Princess of the Kingdom of Caid along ...

Samuel

im a fan of the butt-ugly spuntop grill helm for loaner gear. be sure to paint it pink, lavendar, or bright caution yellow. all are factors in keeping it your loaner gear and not someones new helm:-) With it having a grill anyone can reasonably wear it and not be impeded by a lack of vision or air. ...

Samuel

for sca combat Ive yet to find anything easier to maintain and still allow a good degree of impact absorption as well as be easy to adjust.

I always place the pivot holes right above my ear canal on each side of the helm. ( be sure to have the helm padded properly and snug around your skull first)
