So, whats the story with China, Someone said their market crashed?

Willing Pell

Sasuke,
I was thinking about getting one, with modification, how thick can the metal be and still get a decent roll?

Willing Pell

Now you HAVE to post pictures of this house when you are done. I also fell in love with Bag end and would like a house like that.

Willing Pell

I think thats the same metal fab machine sold by Harbor Freight, you might want to check their price because last I looked it was about 80 bucks with free shipping.

I've always just darkened the pieces with heat and the applied car wax. How does the hot oiled finnish hold up over time? Does it flake off when wacked? Trying to decide if I should use oil on my next project or not.

Willing Pell

Darius, I'd like to take a peek at it.

Last chance before I put these back up on Ebay 1200 Eastern time, or when I get my cleaning job done anyway.

Willing Pell

The title says it all, you can take a look at them and read the description of them at the link below. $80 dollars and they're yours. Let me know before Saturday noon as I will be relisting them on ebay at that time.

Perhaps you need to start ealier. I'm refering you back to the thread by Rev. JC who was looking for a knight marshal and some fighters to help out with a youth program. Maybe the focus should shift away from college age and more toward high school age. Start a youth program welcome the young people...

My 4 inch ball is from a cast iron ornamental fence, my 2 inch is a modified trailer hitch. I've been using them for 3 years and although they are scratched up a little it doesn't matter because they are used to form and planish from the inside of the piece where the finish will not effect the outsi...

I'm looking for an example of a period turner joint. I understand the principle of a raised beed in a groove to allow a degree of rotation but would love to see a pic. Anyone have one?

Willing Pell

It looks like a flies head.......REALLY!

Willing Pell

HOLY COW.

Willing Pell

I'm interested in this, where can I get a copy?

Willing Pell

Nice heavy raising hammers. Kind of like an autobody door panel hammer only around 2 pounds. Heavy duty stakes too, not just the usual ball stakes but "T" stakes etc.

The romans defeated elephants in africa battling the carthaginians. They split ranks to let the elephants charge through the gap and attacked them from the rear.

Willing Pell

I'm sorry, I meant recurve composite bows of horn sinew and wood. Wrong term. Much longer range than a self bow. But again as for mobility I don't think the templars could match the romans for mobility once engaged, the maniple,century and legion were built with the idea of moving just the right amo...

Willing Pell

Exactly how are the missile weapons of the templars better than the Romans? The roman archers had compound bows, the slingers lead bullets, we are not even talking about the heavy artillary, versus the long bow? COME ON!!! Engage and disengage at will, we are talking about the highly mobile and adap...

Willing Pell

Functional. I tried to modify a bolt. Put it in my drillpress and tried to grind it with my angle grinder. Needless to say all I did was create a very hot bullet that went bouncing all over my basement. I never found it.

Willing Pell

I tried to make a rivet today, I was unsucessfull. I see this helmet in my dreams..........it is evil....

Willing Pell

The way to settle this is to pitch this senario to some underclassman at West Point and have them run a couple of dozen senarios to see who wins. I have to favor the Romans, first because I believe discipline will defeat a rabble and because I read the series " The Legion of Vedessos" (spelling?) by...

Willing Pell

The helm just sits there............grinning at me..............mocking me. Hopefully my rivets will arrive today.

Willing Pell

I've got about 15 pounds of various rivets coming from Leahy but have only one rivet left in the box, meanwhile the helmet sits waiting.AHHHHHH!

Willing Pell

The outside edges of those plates are rounded and will rock back and forth under a direct hit decause of the leather articulation . Also, look at the placement of the thumb. The model is holding his thumb up to make it look like it will work but there is no way you will be able to close your fist ar...

Willing Pell

I need 1 half inch long 3/16 rivet to finish a helmet and I can't find one. DAMMIT!!!!!

Willing Pell

Medieval wives?

Just a follow up review of the autozone hammer. I've been using it for a couple of months now and am happy to report that it is well crafted cheapo hammer with a good hard face. I spent about twenty minutes cleaning up the face when I first got it and have used it on about ten projects since then. T...

Excellant Morgan! It even has the pictures!

Slowly leans back in easy chair. Takes a puff of Cuban cigar and looks at the plume of smoke reflectively. ....... Mutters around the cigar.....Ah .....Politics.......

Does anyone know if there is a site hosting the article "No Shield to Hide Behind" by Lord Heinrich von Westfelsen ?

Willing Pell

I just had to share. My son just used my old forge to straighten his bent bumper brackets for his truck and has caught the bug. He seems to have forgotten the brackets which straightened out like they were made of butter and is now straightening a pile of old leaf springs to make swords and daggers....

Willing Pell

Hjalmr,
I sure would like to see pictures of your greatsword and of it being used in action.

Willing Pell

Sedric,
That's pretty much what I had in mind too. I bought a pretty good hammer at a masonry supply store so I hope its a good one.

Willing Pell

I got a real nice brick hammer today and wish to modify it into a raising hammer by cutting a bit off the chisel end and grinding the correct profiles into each end. My only problem is trying to decide whether to slightly radius each end or have them straight across. I was thinking about slightly ra...
