Thorgrimr

For years, I've fought with a heater shield. Every time I've used sword and board it's been with the trusty old shield I first authorized with. Unfortunately my fighting hit a plateau, and I'm not getting any better. So, as I make a persona shift back to Viking (I'll be Thorgrimr here again soon) I ...

Is this fabric good for you?

What size?

Thanks!

I don't buy from them on ebay, though- they're only a few miles from my house.

I go down to the shop and paw through his furs and leathers. It's where I get all my deer, elk, and other soft leathers.

Thorgrimr

It's yours, my friend!

I'm starting to think you're building a collection...

Here's a hat from a commission that fell through. It's made for a 26" head, but I can still wear it with a 24" head- It just goes al the way down over my ears (which would be really good on a cold day!) The price for this hat is $35 plus shipping. As always I gladly take PayPal at m_kreitz...

Thorgrimr

All the stoppers are carved, and I'm waxing the bottels right now.

Thorgrimr

Sorry for taking so long with an update. I just got back online. I just got off a seven day stretch at work, with some doubles thrown in for good measure- It seems like everyone and their brother decided to call off this past week. Probably something to do with good weather, holidays, etc... Anyhow,...

Thorgrimr

I ordered the recover discs from HP, they should fix the issue. I just need to wait until they get here...

Thorgrimr

Yep, that's what I'm thinking. I have a friend trying to find 'em and download 'em for me. I can't do it here at work.

Thorgrimr

I have about half of them sewn, I'll be working on the other half this weekend. I may be unable to update much for a few days- I'm having trouble with my internet connection- (I'm at work right now). I did a wipe and reinstall and I can't get my 'puter to recognize my ethernet card

What about a pitch/beeswax mix? How does that taint/effect the drink of choice?

Christian

I actually use a mixture of pitch cut with a bit of wax- I tend to get better results with this, with less of a piney scent.

Thorgrimr

I loved every second of it- it was an effing blast!

Thorgrimr

Michael, whats the next time you could make a larger costrel? Meaning greater then 32 oz. ? And just how much extra would lining it in Envirotex cost? What would you want to avoid putting in the pitch/wax lined costrels? Thanks, Christian It'll be a few weeks before I could do that (unless I shuffl...

Thorgrimr

Thanks everyone- they're all gone now, and my Pennsic has been paid for- YAY ME!

I'll get these out to you ASAP.

Thorgrimr

Two large and two small still available...

Thorgrimr

It's yours if you want it!

PM sent.

Envirotex is a two part epoxy that is approved for use in incidental food contact. It's typically used on bar tops and table tops. The FDA hasn't approved it for this use because of the variables involved in mixing a two part product (that's what I'm given to understand, anyway). I could possibly be...

Thorgrimr

I hadn't realized that... hmmmmm...

Too damn bad Envirotex isn't FDA approved. I don't have an issue using it for myself, but I don't want to potentially get sued, ya know?

Thorgrimr

Thanks!

Thorgrimr

Here's the prototype for my "premium" costrel line. It's hand sewn with linen thread from veg tanned leather, sealed outside with wax and inside with pitch. The stopper is carved from cherry and sealed with wax. It differs from my normal line by having a wider, more historical stitch lengt...

Thorgrimr

Thanks! I'll get it to ya ASAP.

Still two large and three small left...

Thorgrimr

Let's make this a little sweeter- FREE SHIPPING in CONUS or to an APO.
(Those who've already sent money will get the shipping charge refunded.)

Thorgrimr

I THINK it was a 40 oz, but I can't swear to it.

Thorgrimr

Thanks! I'll be in contact as Pennsic draws nearer to get directions to your camp.

For everyone else- there are still two large and three small left...

Thorgrimr

Remember that old axiom- two is one and one is none!

Thorgrimr

Sure. I'd have no issue with that at all.

Thorgrimr

What date? If it's THIS weekend, then no. If it's NEXT weekend, then sure.

Thorgrimr

There are three of the large bottles still unclaimed, and all of the small ones. Act fast to reserve yours before they're gone!
