And to the top again...

Cool- I understand "momentarily broke"- Hel, I am too!

I'm gonna bump this 'til it sells.

Thorgrimr

No one wants it? Really?

Thorgrimr

Yep, I use brewer's pitch for my stuff for sale. I've used Envirotex, but the lack of FDA approval has me leery of using it in anything NOT for my personal use.

Thorgrimr

Thanks, Vitus.

Oh, and...

Thorgrimr

I'm glad you're so pleased with our relationship so far- I have to say you've been a joy to work with as well.

But PLEASE reserve final judgement until you have the stuff in hand and can examine it. I know where the flaws are, you see!

Here's the finished SCA seax and sheath combo I posted a while back: http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/leatherwork%20pics/finished%20seax%201.jpg http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/leatherwork%20pics/finished%20seax%202.jpg http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/leat...

...as long as you take hits on secondary weapons as hits on armor I see no reason not to wear them in battle; especially if you sometimes pull them out and use them. Becuase you are not supposed to. You are to take the shot as if it just hit armor . Ummm... I think that's what he said...

I think the version without the extra bit in the rear top would translate pretty well. It isn't based on anything historical- it's actually based on how a hockey collar fits!

Thanks Glaukos. I'm glad you're happy.

Glaukos.

OOPS!

My bad- I guess I shouldn't rely on my magic beanie to tell me what folks are thinkin'!

My thoughts exactly...

I think he meant "Stainless Steel"- not what I think you might think (if that made ANY sense).

Thorgrimr

Thanks, guys.

Thorgrimr

So far I haven't noticed any significant taste- but then again, I never leave anything in a bottle long enough to absorb any taste!

Can anyone else who uses one of these chime in?

Thorgrimr

Hail! Any update of the pouches and bottle? Did the fittings ever make it from RQP? Thanks! Your wife's pouch is done- I'll PM you some pics this weekend (if I can get to a 'puter-mine is dead until a new part comes in- I'm at work now). I plan to assemble your pouch on Sunday, and work on the bott...

Thorgrimr

Sorry- this was already sold.

Thorgrimr

Buy these- I recommend them!

Thorgrimr

dont let that happen. i would hate for you to feel that a good fight was ruined because of the way our rules are. if you get hit in the leg you should yield the fight rather than have it tainted in your heart. should you strike another mans leg and he acknowledges it, yeild the fight to him. its mo...

Thorgrimr

I gave it to him today- he seemed to like it.

I also gave a girdle purse (in white sheepskin) to Her Highness.

Thorgrimr

I use pitch, cut with a bit of wax.

BTW, the second one is sold now, pending payment. If anyone wants one, please feel free to PM me- I'd be happy to make one just for YOU.

Thorgrimr

One is sold pending payment- I still have one left!

Thorgrimr

I rinse them well with lots of water as soon as they're empty, and I store them "dry". So far, I haven't had any liquid in them long enough to impart any taste.

Thorgrimr

I encourage you to look around the 'net- you won't find any costrels of this quality, size, and value for this price.

Thorgrimr

Like the title says, I added a new style of bottle to my line- a 40-oz costrel. As with all my bottles, it is hand sewn with linen thread from veg-tanned leather. It's sealed inside with pitch and outside with wax, and the stopper is cherry. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/leatherwork...

Thorgrimr

One final bump, then I'll let it die a natural death.
