Yea! I get to type 'Yatwingian' (one of the largest of the Slavic Baltic tribes, in modern day Poland)

Nice looking hat!

Hrolfr

I once had the corner of my aluminum heater come into my grill and miss my eye by a smidge due to a freak, and repeatable, occurrence. Shall we now ban aluminum heaters because I was almost blinded by them once 10 years ago? Careful, some folk would suggest adding perf plate to your helm. Nope, we ...

DAY-UMM... Nice hat. Hope it finds a happy home.

Hrolfr

Sweet! Oh and the armor looks good, too John

Hrolfr

They heard you coming, Nissan

Sent a link to this thread to legiodraconis (Dux Brannos' site).

Love my Andy Ward gauntlets!

Hrolfr

Actually, I belive it is Master Knuut's TI mail, that Ice sells....

Will ping a couple people I know whom have it and let them comment.

Hrolfr

Can hardly wait to hit this hat!

Hrolfr

Al, I have a 17½" nekkid bicep, would these fit me?

Love your stuff

Thanks for the link Harry!

Mad Matt also has a CoP tutorial. I give it 2 thumbs up

my feet are about 4.25 inches wide and I want to order the Viking Two Toggle Ankle Boots with lugged soles, would they fit? Prolly, mine are about that wide. I wear 11½, but went with the 12. I think we might have the same feet Hrolfr, how do the 12s fit you? If they are flat, maybe so! :lol: Very ...

Damn sexy!

Too late period for me, but good luck selling them!

Glad to see you back, D!! Nice bucket!

How many amps does the welder pull? My suggestion, get 20' of #6/3 SJO cord. This is good for 60 amps. 30 amp you should be able to get by with #10/3. Yeah, I'm not an electrician (the stuff scares me like fire never could) but the heavier the safer. So if you can run an outlet to the outside, I'd ...

Hrolfr

Schreiber, the only existing 220 outlet in the house is about 65 feet from the shop. It is still an interesting idea though. I can have another 220 outlet ran to under the back window of the house without running afoul of local building code for fairly cheap. That would put it within 12 feet of the...

Hrolfr

Good job, Otto!

Hrolfr

proper viking shields were thin planks of lighter wood, and would splinter and break much too easily in SCA combat (or would be so heavy as to be unusable). Plywood is a longer lasting, stronger substitution, and is also a fairly period technique Sheilds were normally made of 'limewood' aka linden....

Hrolfr

And (fortunately for us) a number of the armorers listed in TOMAR frequent here, Wade Callen, Robert MacPherson, Jeff Hedgecock, to name three.

All three of them are on my really wanna meet list

Hrolfr

So I know of the obvious places to buy lamellar being polar bear forge and plastic lamellar but is there any others? At about the same price range? Want to do my own leather or metal or if its cost effective enough plastic. We do strong, light, cost effective aluminum lamellar plates. Please see ht...

Ilsebet's hubby doesn't fight static (I know first hand, and had the bruises to prove it

)

Laurenz's fight style is similar to mine, and I have had good luck with VLC's viking shoe with the Vibram soles, both indoors and out.

For a few bucks more, they can get a new pair of Sir Andrew's work (Andy Ward http://wardmetal.com/gauntlets.html)

Beautiful! Richard, you do stunning work.

Hrolfr

John, that just sucks. Send it to me and I'll get rid of the evidence for you.

Beautiful work, what's the rest of the kit going to look like?

Hrolfr

Why must you sell this when I have no money, Scotty?

And Andy is trustworthy!

Just what thread are we discussing?

Hrolfr

I don't drink the night before tourney or melees (I am having a problem with cramps in my legs, which is much less when I don't drink).

But I love fighting people that have a massive hangover
