Ben, do you still have a website?

If so, would you link it your sig line.

Thanks!

Conal, brazing can be done easily enough. I have braized with a mapp/oxy set-up, though an oxy/acetelyne rig with a brazing tip would be better. Just make sure you get the proper brazing rod for the alloy you are using, and preheat so the fill rod flows properly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazing...

You forgot slow. That's what I tell the whippersnappers when I haven't fought in a while. I'm old, fat and slow. Uh huh... and the ones that fall for it die shortly thereafter! fat and slow.. like an old grizzly... kind of smell like one too! GEEEE, you say the NICEST things Although Thorfinn said ...

Lucian you bastard!

Gotta sell this when I have no $$$$$$.

I want one of Adam's kettles for my 14th century rig.

Vitus, I have some 'pit run' emeralds and garnets 'somewhere'. If I find them in the next few days (I'll look this afternoon), I'll send you the largest ones I have and we can work out a deal from there

and how big do you need them?

I would rather have maple or oak. Ash (besides the emerald ash borer

) has a pretty straight grain and as it becomes drier, it seems like it would be more prone to split.

I made one of those gloves after seeing Corby's post. They are awesome. Hardest part was finding a leather glove big enough to accommodate the heavy leather and padding. Wasn't tough. More people should do it. Thank you Sir Corby. Hey Logan, bring it to Border War in Ionia. I would like a peek at it.

What were the rules of this tourney? There was certainly some weapons switching going on in the rounds... I heard something somewhere about best 2/3 no repeating weapons forms. For the weapons forms, is it customary to discuss it with your opponent, or try to out guess him? (When Hans von Wolfwitz ...

Conal, Ireland was the priory of Ireland for the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem from 1261 until the (1st) disolvation of the priory in 1540. Travel to the priories of Low Germany, High Germany, Bohemia and or Poland would be possible. Don't like the Crusader idea? Also, remember that both England ...

The worst that could happen is you'd run into somebody with the same heraldry. Even if you do, you can just take their stuff, it's obviously yours! Nope, the worst you could do is having the same as someone that someone else has a hard-on for. For example, the guy that posted he was going to use a ...

I built the Valsgaard kit. One note.. you need to watch the ocular openings... unless Zweihammer has made a change, they tend to be just a bit too big to pass SCA with out a small piece of 'bling' to tighten up the ocular... a one inch gauge will go right in and rattle. Now, I will say that it is a...
