Best thing I ever did was step away from the SCA I was full of hate and contempt for the game and more than a few of its players. 8 yrs away made me realize while there are other games out there, none compare to the SCA Coming back in I realized this and enjoy the game more than ever now. In my case...

Chris's stuff is really nice If I had the spare cash Id own it My daughter wore it last year while we were helping Chris and his guys out with holiday bell ringing http://halvgrimr.smugmug.com/Other/501st-Trooping/DSCN2387/1109873364_deVyW-M.jpg http://halvgrimr.smugmug.com/Other/501st-Trooping/DSCN...

Fungi is a pro, I am an amateur:)
I dream about Fungi's stuff:)

Halvgrimr

Its been a while and I gave mine away to some friends that really came thru for me on something.
I cant remember how much it held exactly, more than a gallon, less than 5:)
If I was to guess maybe 3 gallons

A couple years ago (the last time I played seriously) the official homepage used to have many old modules and books n stuff up on their site in pdf format, alot of them were free to download at that time, donno if its still there or not.

I LOVE HE products, I have nothing bad to say about Gwen or any of her people, they are top notch in my book BUT (and with me there is always a big butt:) A) theirs are a little to short for how I was taught to do my leg wraps B) it cost almost as much to ship one pair as the initial cost (at least ...

Halvgrimr

Wow, that's a unique color of green you got going there on that gorget:)

Halvgrimr

Its hard to tell, is that leather over the metal bands or is the metal just browned?

Either way its an interesting look!

Halvgrimr

I think there's quite a distinction between the normal "reenactment" rebated steel (unchoreographed but semi-cooperative, usually a lot of aiming for the sword to make noise for the crowd), C&T (fencing, essentially, with heavier weapons), Eastern European bohorts (like SCA heavy comb...

Halvgrimr

Beautiful work as always man, I am still catching up on who is what, are you a Silver Hammer yet?

Halvgrimr

I didn't know the SCA allowed rebated steel combat now. Were you talking about cut and thrust? Is that basically rebated steel combat? Seems more like fencing on roids from the vids I have seen. Having done quite a bit of 'rebated steel' fighting and having WATCHED several C&T practices there i...

Halvgrimr

The fact remains that for 30 years your way of doing things has kept the SCA a miniscule group that has to travel great distances just to meet up with any sizeable group of it's peers. Are you in the SCA? Because there is a large % of fail in those statements. The SCA is the largest 'reenactment' g...

Payment sent Aug 20th, initially told after payment would be out on Monday Aug 22, following Monday. Had hoped would be in time for local pickup in events/practices. Next communication was on Weds Sept 07 stating finally shipped. No current ETA. USPS states arrived at Memphis, TN facility @ 9pm (We...

Halvgrimr

Thanks for helping a brother out Kormak!

(and being so excellent to work with:)

Halvgrimr

I thought the rumor was that Estrella was 'going away' after this year?
Is that no more than a rumor?

Halvgrimr

Sold (pending payment)

Halvgrimr

Magnus
Have you ever done any leather gauntlets?

Halvgrimr

Period turn shoes are awesome but after several days of walking around at Pennsic I decided that I needed something with a hard sole. I have been needing new boots anyway so I headed to Bohemond's He didn't have exactly what I was looking for so I bought a pair of his Baltic II Viking Boots (not 100...

Halvgrimr

Its ok Sasha
By now we have all figured out he is isnt worth the time.
Again, my concern is that Ulrich fairs well in the deal.
I got a cold beer that says he ends up regretting dealing with this jerk.

I mean come on, really? the best he had was 'Your a butthead?'

Halvgrimr

Torvaldr looked at my hands at Pennsic and after trying on one of his mediums suggested if I was to get a pair of his to get the large so I guess I should pass.

Damnit, cant afford new ones and the ones that are up for sale are always to small or go before I see the thread:(

Halvgrimr

I see Halv... as long as someone jumps on the bandwagon, thats makes them & by association, you, absolutely correct. Its all about how many can fit in your clown car? I see you still refuse to see any wrong doing on your part. To quote Vincent LaGuardia Gambini "I'm done with this guy!"

Halvgrimr

Whatever, hope all goes well for Ulrich.

As for personal 'attack', if beig called a dick is the worst you get here, your doing good.
FWIW, I am fairly sure I am not the only one that made the observation.

But like I said, whatever.

Halvgrimr

Patternweld, the bazubands are constructed to your measurements at that price. We do mild steel and aluminum as well. Shipping would be around $10 For better communication you can email me at saxon_squire@yahoo.com Regards, Ulrich Dude Your INSANE As picky (and bitchy) and this dude is and you want...

Halvgrimr

how come all the good stuff I want comes up AFTER Pennsic (ie when I am broke)???
been wanting one of those gambesons:(

Halvgrimr

Hey Chris
I was reminded that I should ask what size the gauntlets are before I get to excited
Do you remember are they small, med or large?

Halvgrimr

dibs on Torvaldr Gauntlets, will contact you tomorrow about shipping

Halvgrimr

I will take the shield boss
PM me with prefered payment method please

Ops, I didnt see Pittbull beat me to the boss, nevermind:(

Halvgrimr

Anyone ever use his leather gauntlets?
More interested to hear from folks using polearms/axes than spears.

Halvgrimr

Worst moment?
I had such an amazing time this year that I can't recall one:)

Halvgrimr

Well, I know the smalls wont fit and IIRC the mediums were also to small for my hand when I tried them at Pennsic:(

Halvgrimr

Which ones?

Halvgrimr

SOB, I always miss out, I call seconds on the gaunts if that falls thru

Halvgrimr

Recently at Pennsic we were all sitting around bsing. A VERY large gentlemen strolled by wearing nothing but a VERY large side of leather. (and by large I mean he put me to shame) A friend quietly asked "What the hell is that?" My reply was a quick and simple one. "About a dozen pair ...
