I mean, if you were going to, I'd say 16 gauge. But there's a reason they almost to a man use Grettir's gauntlets or so I've heard.

Testosterone Replacement therapy, if I'm not mistaken.

What are therapy pythons? Never heard that one before.

Caius705

Yeah, that sounds perfectly fine. It's still lower than a munitions bascinet, covers a huge area of time and personas (with minor modifications), and looks really good. Besides, better to have your price go up and your volume drop a bit (which it may not), in my opinion, since you're doing the hamme...

You do realize who we're talking about right? Point of entry was the sole.

Caius705

Dude, quit failing perception checks. Seriously.

Caius705

Those are two small and too large for what I meed, respectively. Thank you though.

Caius705

Do you know what time period you like? 160 puts you at either a spangentop or a fixed bargrill bascinet for the most part.

Also, never buy from ashcraft baker.

Caius705

And what the hell, go ahead and tell me the dimensions of the center grip too.

Caius705

I am trying wingless elbow guards under the sleeves - but they slide around on me. Maybe I should point them to the inside. One solution I have seen is to have leather pieces sewn onto an elbow pad, spaced to let the cop slide underneath them but tight enough to hold the cop in place, then have a b...

Dibs on scutum depending on dimensions and shipping

About how tall and wide is the scutum and what woukd shipping to 77706 be?

Caius705

Armored Combat League. Essentially american HMB. Stricter rules on armor standards, per my understanding. Other things may also be different as well, I'm just ignorant if that's the case.

Caius705

Ah, ok. Thank you. If it had been 12g stainless, it might have been worth modifying to become an ACL helm, as it would only need bars put across the eye slots. But I'd hate to have such a pretty helm get busted up so quickly (from all accounts, ACL eats mild steel, even 12g)

Caius705

What gauge on the sugar loaf helm? What material?

Caius705

Got my rattan, it's going to be a beautiful sword. Thanks.

Made me think of this.

Caius705

So the carved rattan maces are still ok? Sweet.

Caius705

I've been considering it. If I do, I'll pass along my experience with them.

Caius705

My grandfather nearly lost a hand to one of those, they work really well.

Caius705

Or for that matter, 4130 is quit cheap and welds easily with a good stick welder and the right rods (or TIG, I think) and then just let the buyers worry about heat treating. Of course they wouldn't need replacing as often.

Caius705

Any chance of you getting 12g stainless (or mild I suppose)? I ordered an ACL helmet in 12 mild and when it eventually gets destroyed, I'd thought about pulling the visor off it and moving it to a new helm. Just a thought.

Caius705

Glad you're getting back into it. I've been sweating trying to find some segmented spring stainless elbows and knees.

Caius705

Uh ... ive heard stories about the 70s and 80s with all the recreational drug use ... in the SCA. I love that people assume it stopped then. That's cute. I think I'd prefer to fight someone who is slightly drunk, than someone who is extremely hung over. I think if we start "screening for pharmaceut...

Caius705

Just saw this, apparently you can drug yourself without realizing it, if you get unlucky with picking your supplements.

Caius705

Ah, much too far then. No worries.

Caius705

Hey Henrik, where are you located at?

Caius705

Vilhelm, if I saw you in a Deed, I'd admire your kit, then try to get another guy or two to help me club you, cause obviously you have some nice ransom.

Caius705

Damn Wow.

Caius705

I am, on my phone atm, so will reply later today or tomorrow if that's ok.

Caius705

I'm more concerned with people who drink alcohol before fighting or are on 'recreational' drugs. There has been plenty of stupid shit out on the field. Anyone that is drunk, or stoned(any format) on the field should lose their fighter card. How intoxicated are we talking? A few drinks before a figh...

Caius705

Saw a post on the BOTN facebook page about stimulants and PEDs, set me to thinking. Have any of y'all ever come across people who did this for fighting? I know it's pretty well disapproved of (if not outright banned, if that post I read was correct), but I'm mostly just curious. I know personally, I...

I'm happy with my new COP, but I'm already thinking upgrades.

Corrazina, I'm telling you now.

Shoddy picture, sorry

Shipping for the 72" stick to 77706?

Caius705

Here are a few screenshots. Give me a minute and I'll have a few of the inside.

Caius705

Such was my understanding. I was calling the style montante. The sword seems pretty standard.
