I do like the low-pro look; in fact I think an argument could be made that it is historically plausible- not many scabbards have survived the years so who is to say? I also liked the integral suspension system- a lot of folks, no offense meant, tend to use ancillary belts after wrapping the scabbard...

Paladin74

It came out really nice. Do you line your scabbards with any material?

Paladin74

Something like this could easily backfire on armorers in no time. Seems like an awfully unprofessional thing for a reputable business to take part in. Here's an opportunity to take the high road and not partake in petty internet squabbles. A private citizen who wants to flame on an armorer, althoug...

Paladin74

Just for giggles, how much for a steel bra, PB? That'd be a center piece for the Day of Wrong. lol

What would be the price of this option?
Also wanting to know the price on these.

Me too.

Interested in the 'platemail' set, pending pics.

Paladin74

Go see the doctor, man. Get well soon.

SCA Armouring for a living sucks, I should know, I have been at it for a long time. Isabella and Johnathan pretty much nailed it. Its not my "speed" but sometimes I would like to post reviews on customers. Most have been fine, but the SCA has a ton of "flakes" and it sucks when your livelihood is i...

Hey Brian...that was a nicely done scabbard. Looks rugged, serviceable but it is also attractive. I like the metal bits you used, especially like the buckle. What did you charge for that particular one?

Paladin74

Now you know, Brother, that turnabout is fair play.

So these are different from the ones at VARF? Huh...they look similar to my recollection (which I'll grant can be spotty at times, armor porn is armor porn after all). In any case...something to think about.

Paladin74

One thread and your taking your ball and going home? Even those of us who stated the obvious (your often late) also said they loved your work. I see more drama in this thread that the other one to be honest. Your call though. I'm sorry, I lol'd when I read that part. I don't know Torvaldr personall...

Paladin74

Yea I know, I've seen you in them if you recall. Thing is, I just got some pieces done by him (and want more) - I'm just being greedy at this point. LOL And you're no help, Brother. ;) I can't buy anything else til I get rid of a few things...like that breastplate/cuirass that is just too big for me...

Paladin74

It depends on how historically accurate you want it to be. If DBK's wait list is too long, try Christian Fletcher, most of his stuff is under $1000 and his work is comparable to Brian @ DBK. If you want to spend less, but still get a historically plausible rig, try talking to Sonny Suttles over at V...

Paladin74

On second thought, I'd rather have tulip-shaped full wrap vambraces w/ attached elbows, and a set of shaped greaves w/attached knees. Cased if it isn't too costly, otherwise I'd settle for the usual half round style. All blued, of course.

Paladin74

What is duck cloth? What if it was just blue and black, substituting them in for the colors of Mark's surcote?

Paladin74

Well...can he shine shoes? And a case of Genny cream is like a case of liquid gold...gotta be worth somethin.

Paladin74

GLWS man...that's some sword there.

Paladin74

Sir Angus I placed an order w/you via PayPal- probably while you were away at Pennsic so I just want to be sure you didn't forget me!

Paladin74

Wow, those arms are talkin to me right about now...

Paladin74

Here's a heraldic surcote for a gent named Mark. If you meet him on the field at Pennsic, please don't get him dirty. :( (Kidding!) http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u446/Annasgarb/mark1.jpg How much for something like that reflecting my shield (see my avatar) colors? I'd need it for a 44" chest,...

Paladin74

I have a question- all of the facts notwithstanding, what took six months to complete on his order? I get that Torvaldr has had some personal health issues, but is that really the purview of the customer to ascertain? Should not the craftsman taking the money be more upfront with what's going on? Ap...

Paladin74

OH! I like that...I just got a new banner, but need a pole to mount it- one of those portable holes would make it a simple affair to post up. I'll take one!

Paladin74

I'd like to se pics as I don't know what a BdeB is.

Paladin74

I'll keep an eye out for it on ebaY, I'm sure others will check CL. Nice device.

Paladin74

Yes it is...wish we had more of them, or rather, less incidents of this occurring in the first place.

Paladin74

Splinted arm & leg harness, blued steel. Depending on cost.

Going to put what I want at the bottom so he sees it. lol

Paladin74

I'll bid $10 on the:

Black leather pouch. Nickle buckle and pyramid studs.

Paladin74

That's awesome dude...and if it turns out that 23.5" is doable, let me know.

Paladin74

How do these work? I've never heard of a portable hole before.

Paladin74

http://www.innerbailey.com is where I usually get my belts from if its a dress belt I'm needing. They do swordbelts too, for those that have scabbards but no carry rig option.

Paladin74

James, I think you mean it is the 304 stainless you want, and not the 400. Icefalcon only carries 304 stainless maille.

Paladin74

I think your math's a bit off. You paid $177.92 which included shipping, but you want $200 plus shipping- even if you made shipping free, there'd still be a profit there. Not a bad price, just pointing that out.

Paladin74

Despite it being too small I'm tempted...a great price for a great piece suitable for LH by itself.

Paladin74

As am I - and its good to know that it isn't a widespread issue as with other vendors; I can appreciate Cillene's stance...and I'm also glad that they went ahead and issued the refund, it is a lesson learned for us all with regard to future dealings with Firedryk.

Paladin74

Cillene, I don't know if you've noticed, but of late there seems to be more cases than usual regarding unresponsive vendors. They were more than happy to take his money but he is unhappy and they're (seemingly) dragging their feet on making it right. Now, he has a communication stating that he send ...
