Re: RAR!!! helmet
This one would be do-able for SCA combat. It has a hinged visor held down with a spring catch, if I'm seeing it right. Right?

Re: Boot Orders at Viking Leathercrafts--just a quick note
Understood, Frank.
I love my 14th Century boots I got from you and drove an extra 20 miles Tuesday night so I'd have them to fight in at practice. (Doesn't help to load gear in the trunk if you forget your boots).

Has a site for Crown Tourney been chosen? The kingdom calendar still says "TBD."Morgan wrote:Update, he will accept the accolade and be knighted at Crown Tournament July 5-7. I'd guess he'll sit vigil on the 5th and be knighted in morning court before the tournament begins.

Re: 2" rattan in Meridies
I typically use around 1.5" rattan to make my swords; since I like a longer stick anything bigger than that starts to feel unwieldy. What would be some of the advantages of using the big 2" rattan? Am I missing out on something sweet here? There are a number of advantages, among them; Shaved ratan ...

Re: Strapping a Heater shield
Keep in mind that the adjustable forearm strap will alter how the shield hangs, depending on how tight you strap it to your arm. If the strap is loose, the shield bottom will swing forward as you hold it. If the strap is tight, the shield will be rigid and doesn't move very much. It's all very pers...
