Thanks Hal! You've done great work right here. I need to follow my Muse, and look again at the tools I've got from you and use them properly, then if that doesn't work I'll buy more tools from you and do my best to use them properly. Dishing, planishing, raising, etc...I'm good on. My fluting looks ...

Aaron

Thanks Hal!

Aaron

Good Morning Hal and fans of Hal,

Could you post the available Hal's tools to shape, flute, fold and roll 22 gauge or lighter stainless? I will be slowly working on turning my wife's recumbent trike into a velomobile with a mirror finish stainless steel cover.

Aaron

Hi Hal, I've got your basic set. Could we move to either PMs or Classifieds so I can ask about buying some of your tools for fluting and shaping the stainless? I think I need to upgrade my tool set, and I totally forgot you built my sabatons out of exactly the gauge I'm looking for. Those were danci...

Aaron

Hi,

I would like advice on fluting and shaping light (ee gauge or thinner) stainless steel. Are there fluting and rolling machines or tools? I own some of Hal's tools (they ROCK!). However I have heard there are autobody tools and other methods for light stainless.

Aaron

Congratualtions! Please put a running "blog" (I hate that word...) on the Off Topics so we can see your progress with the place, etc...

Welcome to marriage! It's a weird, weird, wild experience!

Aaron

IF a backyard practice had their own insurance, would it be OK to host a fencing practice that is not SCA, but contains SCA members?

Aaron

Heat vision.

Aaron

Or changing suits. Swimming and BOTN fighting are two different sports, and I bet Athanaric will not think of swimming while in his BOTN kit, or end up trying to take the BOTN field dressed in a speedo.

Aaron

Should I reference this book? http://www.amazon.com/Border-Reivers-Men-at-Arms-Keith-Durham/dp/1855324172/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374691138&sr=8-1&keywords=the+border+reivers Or this one? http://www.amazon.com/Border-Reiver-1513-1603-Warrior-Durham/dp/184908193X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y Or this one? http...

Aaron

Dan, I know this sounds rather silly to post on a 21st Century electronic forum...but do you know of a good book on Border Rievers, that shows pictures? I love the idea of having a fencing kit that looks right. Maureen has a good Burgonet and I think the kids and I could all go out as Border Rievers...

Aaron

Thanks!

Aaron

Cool! That's sort of what I was looking for.

Do you have a good literature reference or icon I can use as a basis? I like the ideas so far. Thanks!

Aaron

Good Morning,

Any suggestions on how to make a Border Riever fencing kit (~1600, Scotland)?

Thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

Ice,

I think only you could end up having a rush on orders for a "failed" product. You rock!

-Aaron

Aaron

My wife and daughters all love the gloves. And they protect the forearm too!!!

Aaron

People better order quick. I know I'll have all three pairs soon...and as soon as I have them, I might think, "Hummmm....what if my wife, daughter, son and FRIENDS all want to fence?....maybe I need two more pair!"

Aaron

Once again, Andre has a perfect score for customer service! My order is in, and I look forward to using these gloves.

Aaron

Yep. It's clear I can't order these right now due to a website issue. Every other website seems to work, so it's not an internet issue.

Aaron

Well, drat... The internet connection might be bad, or the website. I can't seem to order the gloves. I'll call ASAP.

Thanks!

Something like this is exactly what I was looking for for the kids and I.

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

I have an odd internet connection, and I will be in many airpoirts on Monday. I might be able to order then. One layover is long.

Aaron

Can I order over the phone?

Aaron

Count me in for three pairs. They look like good fencing gloves for the kids and I. Thanks!

Aaron

Talk to your knight, Sir Guy. I know he had his appendix out, and fought at Pennsic the next week. But he kept his appendix and was seen strangling someone with it at the Tuchux Charity Tournament.

Aaron

Ice can beat Amazon with customer service...and with a stick!

Aaron

Perfect!

Aaron

We have built more armor for the US Team than any other armorer. We have learned some new tricks to keep us a step ahead of the other national teams. Lightweight and super strong hardened 410 stainless and also 301 spring stainless for the impact areas. We are still learning new ideas for gear. We ...

Thanks!

Excellent link. I've used it before, forgot where it was. Thanks!

Aaron

Good Afternoon, I'm in Germany for the week and my love of sword-and-buckler fencing has been re-ignited. Could you post or link pictures of sword-and-buckler depictions? Paintings, diagrams and/or statues of sword-and-buckler fencing would be excellent. Modern depictions of sword-and-buckler fighti...

Aaron

This sale is now closed. No orders were made to the unlisted and fictional number by COB on 01APR13. We were looking forward to seeing Andre hovering above the BOTN crowd and having claws pop out of his hands, but it's not to be.

Aaron

Good Morning, Today (01APR13) we announce that Team USA has developed adamantium/vibranium alloy armour for combat this year! There is a 50% discount for ordering today only! With only 1% of the weight of steel, and completely dent and vibration proof, these adamantium/vibranium alloy armoured suits...

Aaron

God Bless you Jackie, and your family.

And as an aside, the chapel de fer in stainless I used to own, that you made, was one of the most beautiful helms I've ever held. You are an artist.

And I grieve for your loss this day.

With respect,

-Aaron

Aaron

If you were a web dude, then armouring would be easy. Just move the mouse over the helmet, right click, copy, paste, paste, paste, paste...and your inventory is complete!

Aaron

Sounds like a plan.

But I've heard that quite a few contacts overseas can be quite good. It's hit-or-miss, or so I've heard...just like in the USA. Maybe you need to find an overseas leatherworker that is the Icefalcon of his area?

Aaron

Oh, those are beautiful.
