That's the one. But mine is not lime green. Lol

Varukh

well i pretty much need every type of chuck or anything else. I have used a lathe before, i just wanted one of my own to tinker around with. I have been using a friends off and on for about 4 months or so. Went over the other day to make a leather burnisher and we happened to find a lathe for sale o...

Varukh

so i bought a lathe today...little cheap one to take car of some minor hobbies. anyone got any parts for one that they might want to let go on the cheap? I'm interested in some (morse 1) live centers, drive centers, drill chucks, or other lathe chucks/centers. It is a mini lathe and I'm just looking...

Varukh

Very cool (not that i'm partial to my knight or anything)

I can't remember who wrote it or where exactly it was, but someone has written a song already about this whole ordeal. Pretty awesome stuff, one more reason to love the SCA and its people.

Varukh

If I bought a helm right now...my wife would put me 6ft under. Lol

Varukh

that helm is gorgeous! wow!

Varukh

That's a rockin helm you have there Alvar...good for light and heavy fighting?

Varukh

Sans helmet and gauntlets I completely tore down the lamellar and rebuilt it and made new leg armour. I'm thinking of making new greaves and shaping them (I didn't make these) and adding some splints. http://www.bogpages.com/SCA-photographs/2013/The-Coronation-of-Amos-and/i-xr3XkgM/1/XL/IMG_5568-XL...

Also: Hey, hey you with the Norse kit, you should come to BAM in November. We're having a H...

That too is awesome!

Yes. I am in fact from the giant metropolis of Bald Knob. About an hour northeast of Little Rock. Blink and you might just miss it. Lol

For a year and a half that is one amazing kit!

Not ready to drop the cup hilt, but any suggestions of where to go would be nice.

I have always admired your kit. Only thing I could think of is maybe hide the arms.

Varukh

seems like some decent prices...where are you located?

Varukh

I'm thinking next time we include the list field in our odds for victory run down. Very true. it was scary at times. I really hope i haven't started a trend here with the whole messed up knee thing. Hope all those who were hobbled, heal up quickly and that they will be back out ASAP. Also congrats ...

If you have any issues let me know. many thanks for the review.

Varukh

I have no doubt we will enjoy all the fights.

Varukh

a Caillin v Swete scrap would be something fun to watch....Sir Martin did you just pick the first challenge for the challenge round?

Won't know till next weekend

Varukh

I had a go and whipped up a prototype padded overboot which kind of blends in with my existing padded hose. The leather greave (soon to be splinted) hides the transition a little better. Ignore the sticky tape. I'll mount a nice adjustable leather strap eventually. What do you reckon? https://lh5.g...

Varukh

right on! we can make it happen.

2nd pair sold pending payment....thanks everyone!
i will have more of these as soon as i can get some more cut out. If you are interested in a pair though PM me and i will be sure to cut out some extra to make sure you get a pair.

Varukh

I'm interested, but they may be a little big for me - if I buy the 2nd pair and it turns out they're too big, could I trade them back in for a smaller pair (all shipping both ways on me, and no worries about wait time for the new custom pair)? sure! :) honestly if you want you can just mail me some...

i see no reason i can't be done.

Varukh

Thank you for all the kind words.

Varukh

I have to ask: How do you sew the plates on to the glove? Did you take the glove apart first, or is this some new stitching magic??? they are all hand stitched with a very old stitching awl. basically everything is saddle stitched on. the gloves are never taken apart though. the awl i use is great ...

Varukh

Pm me some info and I will see what I can do.

Varukh

one pair sold. one pair left.

Varukh

got my scimitar in the other day. looks way better than expected. thanks!

Varukh

forgot to mention. the gloves are a medium/large work glove. i wear a medium glove and they are slightly large on me so if you have a medium/large size hand these should fit without a problem.

Varukh

So while i have been down with my ACL problems i have been trying to make some armor in my spare time to help with paying bills, in between PT and house work. For now i have two pair of my low profile half gauntlets (patterned after Greenshield's half gauntlets). There is padding sewn into the glove...

Varukh

That particular one is one piece. It is basically a period(ish) pattern just made large enough to go over a slip on shoe.

Varukh

I would have to say James and Ashi in the finals. It is really a toss up as to which one of those guys is having a better day. I think James is due but Ashi is a force to be reckoned with.

Varukh

very nice. if i had the cash i would seriously consider this one. why oh why can't i be rich? lol
