Well shit...how 'bout Tuesday? Nope, better make it Wednesday to be sure. There isn't a holiday on Wednesday, is there?

Thorgrimr

D'OH! Make that Monday, then.

Thorgrimr

I'll ship it out tomorrow. Thanks!

Sold pending funds to Winterg. PM sent.

Thanks!

Like the title says, I'm offering a red "kidney" pouch with pewter fleurs. It's a single main compartment design with two pouchlets. The body of the bouch is made from 3.5 oz veg-tanned leather, and the pouchlets and lacing is sheepskin. The entire pouch was hand sewn with linen thread, an...

I'll go $45 on the axe.

Thorgrimr

I'll include shipping in CONUS for the axe and hat...

Thorgrimr

The axe split off into another thread... Next up is a single piece bar grill I bought from Halberds a few years ago. Just shape it and weld it in place. $20 plus shipping. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/SCA%20weapons/halberds%20grill.jpg Finally, I still have this green wool 6 panel ...

Thx for the kind words. We, at Cleftlands, are happy to do what ever we can to train martial skill and the way of the warrior to all those students who show an egolessness, as you have.

Someone from MY household?

I know- hard to believe, isn't it?

Thorgrimr

Cool! It will be interesting to see where I started , and then later where I get to.

Thorgrimr

I got it, but haven't had a chance to look it over yet- I'm at work right now on my Blackberry. I will definitely study it when I get home.

Edit to add- I got home and looked at it- I'll start it tomorrow. Thanks!

Thorgrimr

I just got back from my first trip to Cleftlands- WOW . On a scale of one to five, the experience was a ten. I absolutely kick myself for not doing this sooner. Cleftlands is FULL of great people, and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I want to thank everyone there, but particularl...

I still have this- $45 shipped in CONUS...

I've had alot of success with Shoe Goo- you can get it at Wal-Mart in the (surprise, surprise!) shoe section. It also sticks to just about anything (does very well on foam) and dries flexible.

That said, I never stole OJ from God.

Holy crap that's funny!

Thorgrimr

Packed up and ready to ship to whoever wants this via Priority Mail on Monday morning 12/20/10. I could use UPS if the USPS isn't your thing...

Thorgrimr

$45 shipped (Mike needs some gas money to get tob work today- I had to spend my reserved cash on a thermostat and antifreeze. I hate cars)

Thorgrimr

It was described as coating weight- I'd call it a medium weight wool. I have enough left for one more hat.

Thorgrimr

Here's a green wool 6 panel had with mink trim. It's comfortable (very) on my 24 inch melon, so could probably go a bit bigger. My daughter (pictured) has a 22 inch head. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/garb%20pics/Hats/grn%20mink%201.jpg $50 shipped in CONUS. As always, I gladly take...

Thorgrimr

I resolve to: Pay attention to the person who consented to teach me. Do my dead level best to not waste his time. Get off this damn skill plateau by doing #1 and #2. Do more than fight at events. Help anyone who asks with anything I am able. Get my personal life moving again after my impending divor...

I know a few Odinist types that have taken it a little too far. Please remember that those assholes don't represent us all- just like Fred Phelps doesn't represent all Christians. Assholes of every stripe try to use religion to justify their assholery- but in the end, they're still just smelly assh...

PM sent to both- and thanks!

By way of background, my SCA name is Thorgrimr Thorgrimsson, from Alderford. I was formerly one of Garth der Eisenzahmer's "guys", and am now one of Sir Diglach's household. I've been on a plateau (fighting-wise) for quite some time. A good paqrt of that is plain old inactivity- this past ...

Thorgrimr

Cet- Is this what you're saying? It's what I'm hearing...

If so, I'll be ordering a welded round skull soonish...

Thorgrimr

Frankly, I am surprised nobody is offering something like this commercially to the SCA. If one is a professionally set up leather guy, versed in patterns and skilled in cutting and sewing the leather (even machine sewing) it could be easy and cheap to make and sell and still keep a nicer margin of ...

Thorgrimr

NONE of us who make and sell stuff charge what our time or products are worth. There've been many times that I've offered something up for sale at just over break-even, and had to either drop the price or change it to an auction (which on a couple occasions sold it at what I wanted in the first plac...

Thorgrimr

I'd be all over that if I had the cash.

Thorgrimr

Still have a sale going on... Here's a pic of one of my hewing spear heads. It's 17 1/2 inches long and 7 inches wide at the wings by 1 3/4 inches thick along the edges. I have it stuck on a 1.25 inch dowel. [img]http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/SCA%20weapons/viking%20spear%20head.jpg[...

Just for the record: Glaukos is pretty awesome too (in a totally hetero way, of course

)

Thanks for the kind reviews.

I try my best not to send out anything I wouldn't be proud to use myself.

And out of curiosity, where do you get your fur? Recycled fur items from Ebay or something?

I get my fur from Paulette Furs (they sell on Ebay, but their brick and mortar is about 5 miles from me).

I have some more of the wool in this hat left (not enough to make this style, though).
