didn't drive here, and get dressed up funny to inspect the grass from close range.

Rowan - always do your research, this is a great board, but there is a tendency to use always, and never in conversations

yeah

I'm thinking that Plantagenet done well would just be the beez kneez
To quote my knight (Viscount Edward) - for Gods sake act like a man
go put on a slinky, form fitting, red silk gown

Like I said - depends on how far back you're going
the heater is very "heaterish" the armor is very northern (ear flaps on a spangenhelm)

mordreth

depends on how far back you're going - these guys are quite nordic

You may wish to contact Animal Weretiger on this board, I know at least one of the Tuchux is in a chair, he might be able to give you contact information

I'll second using a spokeshave, great took once you get the hang of it.
a drawknife is good if you have a reliable clamp for the work

and the organs, if you look at the actual amount of muscle tissue he was cutting it isn't a whole lot.

My apologies your grace - it is a statement I find loathesome. My concentraton is way off this morning, I dropped the rest of my comment during an edit.

"By any means necessary" - the objective is more important that the process.

Have you put this up on the southern region practice board?

I took the liberty of posting this to the Lions End fighters site.

Ah, yes, that baidana, Mord? Sure looks like it might be mantletop-built, and I was forgetting I'd seen one pic of it here on the Archive. I was awaiting either closer bigger pics or other confirmation, to be certain. Erik D. Schmid is of course interested to confirm it too. It finally settled for ...

........... and the closed hang sleeve running from the round Mantletop (a maybe, what evidence there is is artwork only). The sleeve will be open hang in the first type or closed hang in the second. A mantletop may be very practical; a shirt so constructed can very neatly make an integral coif for...

God I hate drilling and deburring that many holes.

That's why you get a Roper-Whitney punch.

With the new one that might be worth while

The very best of luck with both projects I'm starting to help out with a small Long Island practice just to make sure that I want to keep going with this. So start off with practices, and get back into the whole thing. I'm not even going to worry about pensic or serious heavy traveling for about ano...

Indeed, such a tale! Or mayhap a tails length between victory and defeat I shall make this donation as stated. I would also like to send a bottle of thanks for each of you to share. I don't drink anymore. Send them both to Dante, and he can tell me which one is better. You realize that means your n...

Looks like a big list for this kingdom. I was thinking about entering but I want to get my house finnished and move to somewhere cheaper to live and winning crown would put that off. Ronald PS Read my other recent posts, would you really want me as king right now. Astounding as it might sound from ...

My journey has been long, and spent effort weighs down my hands; I am fortunate that Dante has already done this tale great justice, and I will only embellish on a few details. The presumption is (and is only right) that since my training is at civil arms, not martial ones, I possess no skills at a...

My personal world has never been better. My compliments good sir - may it be so through all the days of your life But as to Pensic - you have gained great renoun, and many look to you for wisdom and guidance, if things are to change in your Kingdom your voice would carry great weight, so that one d...

The same stuff year after year...to some to is a comfort...to others like salt in a wound. It all feels so predictable. Same players...same game...same issues...same complaints. What drives me crazy is the bone-crushing sameness. Sir Vitus DeBergerac pointed out that a windmill can cast you into th...

If you get hit in the leg and it gives you a nosebleed the level of force is excessive.
if a fighting practice or tournament is eating your harness on a routine basis your gear needs to be a lot sturdier.

A superb tale - My thanks for sharing it.

Chaka Zulu made his money with the discovery that large shield, and short spear beats small shield and long spear regularly enough to make book on. If you want to use spear and shield in formation you need larger shields (ask an attic Greek, Saxon, Viking, Zulu...) If someone comes up to your shield...

A number of years ago the East refused the field, the king ordered his troops to leave and assemble at royal encampment. I had missed a number of Pensics and was enjoying the snot out of myself but the king has spoken, my honor lies in duty I believe I was the last East Kingdom citizen to leave the ...
