Would a belly be enough for a CoP, Frank?

Paladin74

Is that 12' around the base, or 12' in diameter? The former would be more in the form of a tepee, the other a tent.

Paladin74

I'm attempting to tailor an existing hauberk and my hands are sore after only a few hours at it. Can't see me doing that all day every day, nope, no way, no how.

Paladin74

I doubt I'm the only one glad to see this- I always hoped you'd get back up and running, Al.

Paladin74

You'd think something like that would be common knowledge, but until you said it I never gave it a thought.

Thorgrimr, is that an actual Atrim, or is it from the Hanwei/Tinker collaborative line?

Paladin74

Sounds like my kind of book; will this make it to Amazon eventually? I get all my books digitally if at all possible.

Paladin74

Why was the black plate 'untemperable'?

Paladin74

If the axe is still available, I'll take it.

Paladin74

I'm in for $10 for The Belles Heures of Jean Duke de Berry

Paladin74

That's as bad as a Rick Roll...I say he be banned for a 24 hour period to think about what he's just done to us. lol

Paladin74

Vulva hood ornaments? I've never seen one of those. lol

Paladin74

Sorry, Dig. And you're right, Kon - but I am by nature an impatient man so no, I did not become proficient. I do not own any power tools so twirling by hand was my only option. I was a good deal poorer back then so I worked a lot more to compensate; mailing parties with hospitality? First I heard of...

Paladin74

Same here AL, I remember us trading PMs about it some months back.

Wire and steel rods are common at every ACE Hardware store. Hammers and jigsaws are readily available, probably more than leather-working tools. Have you ever attempted to make maille in that manner? I've tried my hand at weaving maille in small batches just to get a feel for it; don't know about y...

Paladin74

That looks beautiful; do you have any close ups of the point? in the one pic that you can see it in, it looks rather pointy for a training blade.

Paladin74

It does...is this actually yours, or are you part of a pyramid of 'owners'?

Paladin74

These are pretty cheap and make levelling the weapon easy enough with a single point of contact with the wall.

I'm ordering 10 tonight. Should be about $45 including shipping.

Paladin74

Damn...was waiting on you to make some more scales and I missed it again.

Paladin74

Damn man...that is pure hotness right there. I'm not even into anything in that period of time but it almost makes me want to start.

Paladin74

Yea, those fluted elbows and knees are classy yet understated; nice refurb.

Paladin74

Not surprised that this didn't sit long...I got the chance to fire a box of rounds through one and found it to be a very user-friendly pistol. So much so that I would've gotten this one for the wife had it still been available- she much preferred it over the 380 I was looking to acquire from Erik (w...

Paladin74

Hi Maelgwyn, I do 5/6th C. Cataphractarii/Clibanarii based in nothen England. The shield that I carry is a center grip but with the added straps for mounted work leaving my left hand free for the riens, the sword is a long spartha and I carry the Hasta ( long spear) I can also throw javelins from h...

Paladin74

Can't see these images...do I need an acct or FB acct to see it? The link redirected me to the main site.

Paladin74

I'm in for one; my wife would love it, I think.

Paladin74

I doubt most fanboys intend on entering any battlefields or melees; they just want to look the part so it doesn't have to be up to spec, so to speak. And if they do well...that's a lesson they'll not soon forget, no?

Paladin74

He states that they're made by West Coast Armoury but you'd have a two month wait to get them. lol @ that

Paladin74

I just can't wait to see the finished product; I'm all out of wipes for my keyboard, sir.

Paladin74

This sounds like a blast...what sort of rules do they fight by? Weapon types?

Paladin74

I can't do it, Andre...I'd love to, this is something I was very interested in, but I don't have the finances for it. I hope it goes through though, this is a great opportunity.

Paladin74

So is it $395 + $75 or $495 + $75? Which of the sleeve options would we be getting, with or w/out the partial chest?

Paladin74

Seriously...in my family, I'd just have things constantly 'Force-thrown' at me from everywhere. It'd be ugly. lol

Paladin74

Paladin, I understand. We were originally intending to begin construction in the spring, but due to factors that will take 2 pages to explain, we needed to pull the trigger now (land to our standards is very hard to come by so close to town). That decision came about very quickly, so to be honest a...

Paladin74

Me too- want those jousting leathers.

Paladin74

Congratulations, Erik. For my part, I would have liked a lead-up to this if only to place my CoP order (have a used one, wanted a new one made just for me) but I can't in good conscience hold it against you. Follow that dream man...or you'll wish you had.

Best of luck, man.
