Boy are you in trouble in about 12 years . . .

I second that one. Now that my girls are 21 and 18, all I can say is I don't sleep as well as I used to. lol

Not an unreasonable request- that they don't do refunds should be blazoned in large letters somewhere on their site. I've only had prelim communications while discussing a possible commission- seemed decent enough if a little lax in responses; I'd asked for a quote and was told they'd run some numbe...

AL sets the standard for customer service excellence...he's a good guy on top of that. I have a set just like these...they're the bees knees, as the saying goes.

Paladin74

Make some more!

I'll take second dibs in case Sean's falls through for some reason. It is exactly what I need to finish out my Crusader kit.

Paladin74

I don't know how to do that. I just wrapped a pile of them in foil then nestled the pack of nails into a bed of hot coals and left them there until the whole thing was cool. I went inside and did other stuff while they baked. You guys mean well, but read what she says, in bold. Its not like she's h...

Great links guys, as I'm thinking of taking up archery, medieval style. Can anyone give some examples of a decent, but not too expensive horsebow or longbow?

Paladin74

That's a good mindset with which to approach the whole armoring thing...I've spent thousands of dollars over the years on off the rack stuff; some of it has been pretty good, but most of it was just garbage. Lessons learned...take note so you don't have to learn them as well. Good luck.

Paladin74

Some of us have already given what we could in the form of funds via PayPal...each does as he is able, I'm sure.

Paladin74

On a quick perusal you have some good looking stuff...what would a full harness run me? Do you work in spring steel?

Paladin74

i am so sorry for the delay and the lack of counicay... I hope everything is what you expected. Shipping the sword has been problematic. I actually had a call from a homeland security agent. But you should be getting it soon! I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with the term 'counicay' - I think I kno...

Paladin74

No, I got nothing but a page that says Flickr at the top and naught else.

***Reposted from Myarmoury.com*** These pics are of swords stolen from our shop on August 5th in Minneapolis. Please be on the look out for these at any place swords might be on sale in our area and online for everyone out there in the big old www. While we do not expect to recover much we would li...

Box came in for me on Monday; thanks MJ.

Paladin74

Damn man, those are NICE.

Paladin74

I'm not likely to win it, so I'll start it with $75.

Paladin74

I'll take her!

Paladin74

This seems to be more of a problem of late...I'm sorry you had to experience this, OP, it is a damn shame.

Paladin74

Definitely domed.

Paladin74

Definitely Ashcraft-Baker designs...I don't know if that's them, that particular seller has a bunch of non-SCA or -medieval stuff for sale; maybe someone just getting rid of a little old inventory? From what I know, those helms are solid if you can get your hands on one; A-B's biggest issue is its p...

Tell me about it; I remember the first set I ever got the damn things were all over the place, drove me nuts. lol

I checked their listings...they have 3 AB helms and a whole host of other stuff that is ...

Paladin74

Unfortunately I have not been able to continue to pursue this. The last three and a half weeks I have been dealing with my own health issues, specifically a diagnosis of cancer, surgery, recovery, and am now looking at continued radiation therapy. Believe me, with these new medical bills coming in,...

Paladin74

Allan, the ones you sent me were FANTASTIC. Just wanted to put that out there.

Paladin74

I was thinking more of a Mr. Bentley (R.I.P.)look...nice looking solid helm, by the way. GLWS.

Paladin74

Allan, sorry, was offline all weekend (which is usual)- if Nick hasn't taken them, I will. Ready to PayPal, let me know. Just pm'd you too.

Paladin74

Allan, could I make a shirt w/these, with a leather backing? What could I make if not a shirt? Calling tentative dibs based on answer.

Paladin74

Bumping this thread as I'd like to see the results of such generosity!

Paladin74

I didn't get a track# if you were pm'g them, MJ.

Paladin74

Posting a pic for Mik.

Paladin74

YG, the hoodie is also made by Champion?

Paladin74

You make some nice hats, sir.

Paladin74

Wow, those are some good looking weapons, Kerry.

Paladin74

Umm, he has helmet and sword. He needs arms, legs, breastplate, kidney protection, and hands. Whatever he needs, he'll need measurements. I posted my measurements you asked for, any other ones needed Those're good enough to start with. I had a feeling you were looking for secondhand/used armor - th...

Paladin74

You have to love the snarky wit.

AL - do you make larger ones? I'll pm you.
