What are you a Frost Giant?

Christophe de Frisselle

Yup, after a certain temperature it doesn't matter if it's Fahrenheit or Celsius. It's just plain Cold!

Christophe de Frisselle

Yeah, a putting on a helm after a half hour ride in the trunk to practice makes that very clear.

Christophe de Frisselle

It just a wee bit nippy is all. Stop yer whining.

Christophe de Frisselle

It's almost like fighting barefoot.

He sells two different helm kits and a gauntlet kit.

Christophe de Frisselle

Yup, he's still around. Just read a post of his a couple of days ago. Don't know about the gaunlet kits, but I did get one of the helm kits about a year ago. Great Stuff.

Christophe de Frisselle

JERUSALEM — Israeli archaeologists said they have unearthed more than 250 gold coins from the seventh century on the edge of Jerusalem's walled Old City. A British tourist volunteering at the dig discovered the trove on Sunday. Israel's Antiquities Authority said the Byzantine-period hoard was...

Didn't buy it but did look at the website.
How did they get HD on DVD? or is this just another word for letterbox?
Not to mention it is listed as half as long as their other DVDs. All of Pennsic and only 76 minutes. A bad 76 minutes it seems from the review above.

Christophe de Frisselle

Nice.

Alittle alteration and it could be this sword

Christophe de Frisselle

AH, memories of the 98' ice storm. Much fun was had by all.

Good Morning, Everyone.

A friend of mine went to the Met and Cloisters over Thanksgiving and took a few pictures. Alot of amazing stuff.

Enjoy!

Just keep swinging til your opponent acknowledges your victory or your acknowledge their's. Talk your opponent if you have questions about a shot. Is the East the only kingdom with the femoral artery thing? There is no lax rule enforcement. The guy took it as a leg, I agree. May have been a kill, he...

Christophe de Frisselle

Looks like he made contact with his opponent's left leg on the side towards the front of the thigh or across the front of the left thigh.

It wasn't last year, but the Society rules changed. You don't need a full gauntlet for thrown weapons. Assumption being that you are not going to be in range to get your hand hit when using a thrown weapon.

Christophe de Frisselle

My grandfather made that rule simple to follow. Well, he thought it would help. Mostly it worked for inventorying his tools. He put peg board down one side of the garage with the workbench at the back. The peg board held all his tools, save for those that had their own case like the circular saw whi...

Thanks for the pics.

I like the "Where's Waldo?" wide shots.
Found three I know in this one.

Could try a windlass design!

Christophe de Frisselle

Well, it is made out of Silo-flex (two layers). As long as the thrown weapon weighs two pounds of less it is okay and can be made of rattan. A member of my shire made that one in the video. I have three. They do have issues. Like curving if store or transported under heavy items. Also they are not v...

Christophe de Frisselle

This is from a few years ago.

You could also dish the barrel plastic. Lots of good suggestions here. Have her put a sports bra on and any padding or anything else she would be wearing under the armour then an old t-shirt or two. Wrapper her in duct tape. Cut her out of the duct taped shirt. Tape up your cuts in the shirt and nec...

Christophe de Frisselle

Nope, I assume you have the original unedited photo. That may help.
Do you know who is in the photo and/or where it was taken?

Christophe de Frisselle

My legs are Stonekeep fanless stainless kneecops and crashpads under a knee length gambeson. I'll probably end up with Stonekeep's spring steel coulters and 7-piece knees, they look nice. Could you tell me which Crashpads you have? There's not as much variety in them as the lacrosse gear, but there...

There is now a New New Marshal's Handbook dated Nov 2. An importan wording error was corrected. Not sure that it was.

I would think that such construction would make a pole weapon excessively whippy.

Titanium! I got it a few years ago when it was half the price it is today. I used T-Bobs essay to make to plates and for lacing pattern. Under it I wear a tunic of heavy linen and under that a quilted gambeson of heavy linen and wool batting. Go with stainless. If you don't like the shinyness, ther...
