Dauyd, What stick is currently up your ass? Honestly? I have a serious pet peeve with people (not meaning just you, but I've seen it repeatedly) that have their interpretation of what the rules say, and insist that they are right- even when everybody else tells them differently. I've even seen peop...

scrap yards,

I used to collect sheets from scrap yards constantly of brass and copper.. best place IMO to get good brass super cheap.

Samuel

yea I think ill just hang onto them .. Ill probably end up making a loaner body out of it. nothing gets ppl out of loaner gear faster than the smell..

Samuel

two months til start isnt a bad waiting list for a custom helm. your looking at around a 6-8 month turn around at the most. having some solid ideas and scouting out custom armorers ahead .. then pinging ideas off them to see what they have/can/will do for your budget would probably rope a few more t...

Samuel

im aware of vervelles on bascinets. Ive referenced early period helms in particular due to having seen a good many where the mail appears to have been applied as an afterthought. the purpose of this topic isnt a pissing contest to but garner more ideas and thoughts on easier/ cleaner ways of attachi...

Samuel

seriously sexy

Samuel

im refering to the 1 inch band of leather typically seen on mail draped helms. Adam what you are doing is much of what im talking about. tucking the leather back etc. so its NOT a glaring chunk of leather banding

Samuel

it just breaks me when I see fantastic helms with a glaring band of leather around them and mail hanging .. just thinking there has to be a way to make those go away easily. even later period helms .. IE norman conicals etc etc.. where the mail is actually a coif. I think collectively we can come up...

Samuel

I keep seeing fantasic early period helms with mail drapes over the grill and cant help but wonder why not just poke a ton of holes with a whitney no#5 .. Ive made helms using both methods and it sure feels cleaner sewing the mail to the holes vs riveting a leather strap that takes away from what wo...

Samuel

so 10-12 oz?

Samuel

knotwolf.. solid work.. his turnaround time is probably much more to your liking.

Samuel

Sorry gents Jentiens Knight and household claim dibs first and foremost, for one reason alone, whatever she is selling she can get back quickly from us.

Samuel

anyone know where I can find copies of the valsgard helms that where posted on the missouri edu site? they where line drawings.

Samuel

still should post photos.

Samuel

Ive got a ton of leather scales cut from my crap leather chunkies.. im making migration era helms et al.. and tryin to shortcut and use up this pile of scales Ive made.. does a leather scale shirt fit for the time period? ( probaby going romano brit with pheruges on the shoulders or some such)

Samuel

Samuel

Why would I do that Maeryk? I love arts and sciences, and we all must eat. Dancing, singing etc is what cultures do in celebration of their community. I am an artist. All members of my family are artists. I have given singing performances at events for the crowds at yule. I danced with queens and h...

personal observations of why SCA heavy fighting is dwindeling.. Count Jonathan and I both say " fencing" .... both of us have said " yup we have fenced" I have fencers in my household, they know I think thier game is changing the game and becoming more of "the" game. I ...

Samuel

How many of them do you think would otherwise be fighting heavy if rapier wasn't around? about half... the other half want to be don juan,inigo montoyo, dread pirate roberts, CAPTAIN jack sparrow, etc etc then of course if there was a separate rapier game and they got to see that alone without the ...

Samuel

Im fairly good about directing what locations Im speaking of. in this instance, like the title says, im talking about the whole of the game, having lived in five kingdoms and spent a good time in 6 others in a 17 year timeframe Ive seen a bit..
