Awesome!

Maybe something to inspire the ladies? Newest version of kit, now with hidden legs and period footwear. Not at 100%, but getting closer: http://images108.fotki.com/v360/photos/6/668789/3655280/MeatHarvest2011-vi.jpg I will be transitioning to a wooden shield (from metal) as well. I WAS going to rem...

i don't own any of his stuff, but i have friends who do and i have helped assemble some of his beds/benches. They all look amazing and the craftsmanship is amazing!
If you haven't seen it you should check out the ice chest he made. WOW!

I"m going to release my dibs to Glaukos. I just found out i'm getting some hardware for Christmas and i'm pretty sure i can wait till then.

very awesome. my thoughts and prayers are with that family.

Yes it turned out great. Dawson the kid involved loved it. I had a post on facebook form Gleann Abhann but cant find it right now. I do have a link for the pictures we took. So i can post that. I am still waiting for a few other to post some also. Andrew Jones was tagged in George Parler's photo. —...

Good job man. I hope you guys get a good turnout and make that little boy's day.

Varukh

This is depressing.

I just found some vids of him on youtube last week and was raving about how amazing his kit was. Hope you get all your stuff back and the thief gets what is coming to him.

http://www.bodyactive-online.co.uk/images/sh/huge/pdcentury-bobxl.jpg Favourite pell I've had. It has stood up to a shit load of beatings, the shorts are pretty much legal target defining. Having a defined neck and hip bone are pretty awesome for targeting. I've even used blunted steel against it q...

it is an amazing helm for that price. I would have no problem whatsoever paying that much for it, if it fit my persona and all. (That's saying a lot since I'm a cheep skate and all.)

Varukh

From a guy that has seen this helm up close and personal...it is one of the most bad ass kettle helms i have seen. The bar bottom allows so much visibility and the quality is top notch.

Varukh

I have a fighter friend that uses skateboard deck/grip tape. It never slips out of his hand...ever.

Varukh

I'm glad to see your stuff is selling bro, and i hope you get all your financial troubles sorted out. If you need me to list that stuff i talked to you about just holler at me and i will list them for you.
Wishing you the best,
Varukh

That kit is badass! Especially for only a few months. (standing ovation) I really owe 90% of it to the Archive. Without the support and advice of the forum I could not have got anything like this put together. The AA has helped me out tremendously also. A lot of good tips and tricks that many are w...

My first kit, finally owned all my own stuff! Attempt at 14th centuryish. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/Tvayumat/th_shieldnarmor005.jpg Second run attempt and most recent upgrade. Not bad for only a few months in armor http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh269/Tvayumat/th_ravensfort1.jpg ...

Varukh

yea i would really like a pattern for this. I have tried to replicate them with no success at all.

Varukh

I agree...how did they turn out? I"m trying to make a pair as we speak.

How did you do the thumb if you don't mind me asking?

I have never had any problem taking a spear thrust with my lamellar. The only padding i wear under it is a gambeson that i made with canvas, cotton, and linen. I'm also about 5'10" and right in at about 180lbs and my lamellar took about 225 plates total, but i imagine it depends on the size of ...
