I checked the Calontir page (http://marshallate.calontir.org/Documents.html) and as-is they are not legal, but because of mass, not padding. Unpadded polearms (minimum length 37") are not allowed. As for single handed maces: C. MASS WEAPONS (SINGLE-HANDED) 1. Mass weapons have a maximum total length...

I'm surprised, considering how fast the other nine in this batch went, that I still have one left.

No one has yet snagged that last mace: http://foxknife.com/shop/standard-waste ... -mace.html

Any chance of getting some redundancy from anyone else?

I'm worried everyone is going to say, "Somebody else is taking care of it" then something unforeseen will happen to muttman's camera.

Thomas MacFinn

Raulin, did paypal send you back a mail tracking number? If so, your order is wrapped, labeled and ready to drop in the post office mailbox tonight to be shipped out tomorrow. If not, email me your info (like mundane name, address etc) to dan.mackison@pobox.com and I'll track down the problem.

Thomas MacFinn

... and the powers that be agree with you, MJBlazek.

Thomas MacFinn

The website is doing a good job now of keeping track of how many I have on hand. It will warn you if the last one is sold and allow you to either change your order or go ahead and preorder the next batch (which should be done in a week or two).

One left.

Sir Vitus and I live in the same barony. Here, plural of Vitus is "Atzingers".

Two maces left.

I understand your concern, Grimbah. I double-checked rules rule with the SEM before I made my first mace, and double-checked with several other people after my conversations with him just to make sure I wasn't getting just one person's opinion. They all use the same definitions. A head is a piece th...

Thomas MacFinn

Stefan, I don't think the two I have at foxknife have the stripes on the guard.

Thomas MacFinn

This may be a better picture. You can see the eagle pommel that my daughter grabbed in the first picture.

Aeric has dibs on the La Tene hilt.

Thomas MacFinn

I got a machinist to curve one of the three flat ones for $5, so I have one more in addition to the one Tim bought.

Thomas MacFinn

Could I get someone with a camera at Aethelmearc War Practice to do me a favor? Yesterday, I made myself a pretty little golden mace and intended to take a picture of it. Last night, Baron Eirik came down to grab a few last minute items for Aethelmearc War Practice, saw the mace and bought it from m...

Kingdom rules vary, but Society level rules don't differentiate between swords and maces, just between one handed weapons made from a single piece of rattan and those with a head made of different materials (the latter of which has to be padded or otherwise give). If you have doubts, just look thoug...

I really like Stefhan's stuff: http://hessenironworks.blogspot.com/ He recently sent me a few things for the website: http://foxknife.com/shop/hardware.html?dir=desc&manufacturer=78&order=price I don't have all the individual pictures up yet, but here is a "group photo". http://farm8.staticflickr.c...

Boomloar, it may help if you told people which waster you bought and any useful details like persona. I would not recommend the same hardware for a 60" waster that I would recommend for a 24" one. For example, here is how the guard you mentioned in your original post and a Windrose wheel pommel look...

So does anybody have an alternate way to reach him? I still have that sword, with over $30 in postage on it, sitting by my front door and my last PM to him remains unread. Could somebody who has his phone number call KeggeR? His order is ready to go out too when he is ready, but I haven't received a...

Thomas MacFinn

Next batch is ready. I made 10 this time.

Aeric is a wonder with leather.

A madu (maru, singuata) is an Indian parrying and thrusting weapon. It consists of a pair of antelope horns fastened behind a small plate consisting of stretched leather, iron, or steel with the tips of the horns pointing in opposite directions. The tips of the horns were often sheathed in steel, an...

Solid rattan.

Thomas MacFinn

Well, that was quick. I should have some more ready middle of next week. I'll make a larger batch this time.

Thomas MacFinn

For those that want to save a few bucks, I've posted a sale offer on foxknife's facebook page.

Boomlaor, your waster was dropped off at the post office a few minutes ago.

Thomas MacFinn

Verify your address at paypal then paypal $28.75 to dan.mackison@pobox.com

Thomas MacFinn

The waster is being sold "as is" - meaning it can use some hand sanding with 60 grit sandpaper to round off the corners but it is otherwise list legal. I simply stopped working when I realized I couldn't make this into what I wanted. 100_4616.jpg The flaw is in the handle. It is 1" x 1.5", which is ...

Thomas MacFinn

$20 plus shipping. 42" overall length with 12" handle. I'll have a picture up in a bit. I normally sell them for $60, but this one has a design flaw.

Thomas MacFinn

I can make more, but I think this first batch will be gobbled up quick. I'm headed to the post office to deliver some packages today.
