Re: Best wood for shield
Two layers of 1/4 inch birch underlayment plywood and some wood glue in an improvised wood press. In addition to being light, the birch is surprisingly strong - standard 1/4 plywood would bend nearly to the ground.

SCA legal Foxknife Type 12 rattan waster
I will soon be finishing a pair of my type 12 wasters. Anybody want to go to http://foxknife.com/store/products.php?5&cPath=1 and pre-order one? The website charges $20 for shipping but, as usual, anything the post office doesn't take is refunded. A type 12 is usually less than $10 shipping. http://...

Re: how to make carved SCA rattan swords
For those who don't know, I made my first shaped rattan waster after an attempt to buy one from Eldric fell through (because of some understandable / more important commitments on his side). I wasn't aware of this guide until this morning. Adamo, I realize the reply is a few years late, but I also h...

Here are the relevant rules then: 1. The grasping of the blade of a weapon shall forfeit the use of the hand and arm that grasped the blade.

Re: I your first kit as bad as mine?
July 1990 in Atlantia. A man is on the field in a suit that looks a bit like lorica segmentata made out of tan shag carpet laced together with twine. A bystander in fine guarb is cracking jokes. A Duke turns to the jokster and says, "At least he's out there." To this day, one of my favorite memories.

Re: Great helms
The main advice I've heard is consider eyeslots instead of eyeholes and pay attention to how far away from your face those eyeslots are. Imagine trying to see out of eye glasses an inch or more away from your face.
I've heard tiny little eyeholes with no peripheral vision are for jousting.

Re: Looking for leather 'scrap'
You won't find armor grade leather there but any Goodwill store can be a gold mine of large pieces of leather for $5 or so. They just come disguised as ugly 1970's jackets.

If you wanted a certain amount of money, you should have set a minimum bid. That is how the auctions work. I didn't know that, and that is the heart of the problem.

Nevermind. First post was more spam so I deleted the entire testimonials page. The individual product reviews in the store requires a login, so I left that up to use instead.
