well keep in mind you can always post it as buyer pays shipping.
thus saving you the cost.
if you dont have any luck in your local area i would post it here simply for the larger market base.
either way good luck on your sale.

Heath B fraychef

depends on condition but as long as you state everything up front and let people know you know you are trying to get as close to buying price as possible i think you could get what you are asking for.
just be prepared to be patient it sometimes takes a while to find the right timing.

and allan at the mercenaries tailor has some if im not mistaken.

I thought you were selling Lady Fighters.

Me too. I was going to pick up a 6 pack of lady fighters since I need some squires. I was going to be a walking Robert Palmer video at the next tourney.

I hear Aten men qualify as Caidian women maybe you could find some squires there.

beautiful work.
ill inform my wife to see if she is interested.

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

i might be interested depending on pics.

Heath B fraychef

well heres the rub. a mongolian helm is usually something custom so finding one in your price range may be difficult. i have a friend who has a nice one never used but im sue he would want more than 300 since he paid quite a bit more just to have it made. you may be able to find something but at tha...

Heath B fraychef

those would be awesome.
i would like to see the padding come around the back of the thigh a little more though

Heath B fraychef

did you have a pattern or just wing it?
im going to try to make pretty much the same style pouch and could use any pointers available.
yours turned out very nice.

Heath B fraychef

oh ok i thought it would be longer for some reason.

Heath B fraychef

so what is the expected finish date for these hoods?

Heath B fraychef

i might be looking to pick some up as well how much do you want per piece?

Heath B fraychef

damn man you have been busy.
nice work all around.

Heath B fraychef

exactly that, stainless is very easy to upkeep and mild will tend to rust without attention.
i have blued mild which helps resist rust but it only helps so much,.

he mentiond abovethat because the lner was not sewn in during the pictures its sitting a bit high.

Heath B fraychef

i could compel you by farce maybe.
but as far as martial prowess you most likely have me bested.
not that i suck, i just dont have any real skill.
i can cook though.

I don't think you can afford me, sweetheart.

Hmmmmmmmmm??
how about serfdom?

Heath B fraychef

from my understanding it has always been non knights.
anybody can get a red belt.
it is traditionally reserved for squires but unless im mistaken it is not exclusively reserved like the white.
i beliieve there was a discussion thread about this.

when you are no longer physically capable its too late. other than that i dont see any reason to restrict yourself. That is very subjective. James of Doncaster here on the AA overcame problems to fight, and we've all seen/heard the story of the gentle in a wheel chair who still fights. I'd imagine ...

i just affixed my demi gauntlet right into the shield, just kind of becomes an extension of the boss itself.

the blueing is head blued so removing it makes a big difference.
ill try the green scrubby thing though thanks.
i did try the oil and papertowel thing but it really diddnt work very well.
im also open to any other suggestions.

Heath B fraychef

so i recently pulled out my blued pauldrons and noticed there is a bit of surface rust on them.
does anyone know of a good way to remove the rust without damaging the blueing?

Heath B fraychef

have you tried armor and castings?

Heath B fraychef

so ya know blaine your not really all that far from me.
if you wanted to fill the role so to speak.

Sewing to me is like an airplane is to a dog.

glasses.

I understand the necessity since I wear contacts, but it definitely kills the effect.

im a little more forgiving about regular prescription glasses but sunglasses really screw it up for me.

ya know ive never really thought about the wedding ring thing.
i think ill start looking into period rings for the wife and I.

Heath B fraychef

shoes was always a big one for me as well.
especially when they were hard to find and expensive to buy.
now though there are several makers on the market for very respectable prices.

Heath B fraychef

in your opinion what is the 1 thing that really completes the whole recreation experiance for you?
im trying to get as period as possible and in the past few years have realized its really all in the details.
so what is the 1 thing that that most people miss or just finishes everything off for you?
