If you drink from Thor-sized horns, it gets a tad tricky...

i do.
actually though we have a simple stand cut out of a piece of wood.
all it is is a circle with 2 short legs.

the trick is to not put it down while drinking.
finish the mead then put the horn down

Heath B fraychef

i would be interested as well depending of course like everyone else.

(nothing says keep away like a thrusting tip to the face). Doesnt that pretty much kill in the SCA? I thought force wasn't required? I honestly don't know the rule. I heard it was touch kill to the face, or something like that. that MAY be the case but just try getting people to follow that rule. 9...

Heath B fraychef

dont forget to attach the fox/wolf pelt/tails

Heath B fraychef

how often do you actually use thrusting tips? on single hand swords or great swords. ive had one as a matter of principle for most of my sca life. thats just the way it was always done. but i find tha t i rarely if ever actually use it. i will be making a hand and a half sword in a few days and im t...

Heath B fraychef

thanks got some.

Heath B fraychef

anybody know where i can get decent looking buckles for armor that dont cost an arm and a leg and can get here quickly?
my room mate need 16 strong buckles asap.

Heath B fraychef

that is so freakin cool.
i would love to see you in action.

Heath B fraychef

HA HA HA.
i never thought of it that way.
i just got the gloves because i thought the colors were kid friendly and they were easy to work with.

Heath B fraychef

thats all the comments?
no constructive criticism?
like dont like?

Heath B fraychef

i would be curious as well.
not that im humongous but a cup that fit would be nice.

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

for what purpose?
youth combat or adult?

Heath B fraychef

seriously?
my brigandine cuisses have taken 8 weeks now after the told me it would be about 4 days until they shipped.
and when they made my helm thet riveted in a liner which was so thick i couldn't get the helm on.
i had to cut it out just to use the helm.

Heath B fraychef

thanks pitbull,
i actually have lots of fun making them.
wait until you see my new prototype sword.
i just need to get it past the marshalls but it follows the rules to the letter.

Heath B fraychef

this does not give me much hope.
i was told my order finaly shipped last week.

Heath B fraychef

here are some of the single hand sword.
gauntlets are next on the list.

Heath B fraychef

i just made these youth combat weapons for lufu right here on the archive.

Heath B fraychef

i like the price, what would the difference be for the hourglass / non articulating type be? im making finger gauntlets out of them and i already have fingers and gloves and dimi,s tthat work i just need nicer demis instead of the egg armory plastic ones im currently using. now that i think about it...

Heath B fraychef

thank you your grace.
what would the price on something like that be?
i seriously love the stainless hourglass finger gauntlets on your site.
they are just a bit out of reach for me at the moment.

Heath B fraychef

it should the helm came from them. the rest was done by allan over at the mercenarys tailor. im open to suggestions as well, i was originaly getting a pair of leather demis from sir atzinger but he is having issues with his hands so i thought i would look elsewhere. i could posible go for painted mi...

congradulations,

Heath B fraychef

ok really i prefer heat blued because i want them to match the rest of my kit. in this pic you can see all the metal bits are either heat blued mild or brass. so the color really needs to be as close as possible. the decoration i was looking for was trim around the cuff scalloped like the edge of my...

Heath B fraychef

well it seems i will be in the market in the near future for a new set of demi gauntlets. i need them heat blued with brass decorations made to match my current kit. does anyone know who makes a decent hourglass style demi, that can heat blue? i really just need a price quote right now so i know how...

Heath B fraychef

this past weekend i was headed to an event just for the day. wanted to get some good fighting in. spent most of the previous evening polishing all the brass bit and making sure everything wan exactly where it needed to be. got the kids up packed the car and headed out. got about 1 1/2 hours down the...

Heath B fraychef

ok i spoke with my wife and i was wrong.
she can get all 3 buttons done up but the shoulders of the cloak are then too narrow and when the cloak is closed around her there is a diamond shaped opening right at the bust line.
why this is bad im not sure.

Heath B fraychef

hey mann is that an 'Atenveldt' 5-6 'cause i hear us Atenveldters hit like nancys i think an aten 7 is like a 3-4 at best for the rest of the world. seriously thugh i think i used to hit at what i would consider a good solid 7 but since returning to combat after 6-7 years im probably only a high 5....

Heath B fraychef

my wifes shoulders are 52 "
and her bust is 58"
she can get the top button closed but the lower 2 buttons will not so if your wife is above average like mine it would probably not work so well.
but on an average sized woman no problem.
i can get it on but it really is a female design.
