I can attest to that! I saw you start this and thought you went all 14th C on me!

(actually, I am putting together a 14th C kit, so sue me!

Conal, I just got this from Kaz a few days ago

It's a 26 page pdf. I'm not sure how to pass it along, other than emailing it to you.

Good for yoou Michael. Like I said, I love the lines on that hat, but had too many other "more important" (accoording to the wife

) projects to do.

Hrolfr

A couple of questions

Combat style-
SCA
WMA
BotN style

You gave us height and weight, but how about a head measurement (ie side to side, front to back and hat size)?

Might help you out

Hrolfr

Not sure how it would work for time... But.. There was an image of Peter Dinkladge walking a dog wearing a T Shirt that said. "Keep calm, And demand trial by combat." So I was thinking a "Trial by Combat" tournament. Could be Double or Single elimination. The Challenger, here by known as the Accuse...

Need a wind-up timer for this (guess any timer would work) Tourney is set in 3 or 5 stages. Random number is set on timer, lay on is called. when alarm go off, the two fighting b...

I believe mattmaus made Adamo that hat.

Klapvisor held for Hrolfr pending payment. Some silly stuff about "I have too many helms right now" (really, is 4 too many? :lol: ) . No four is not too many... I have six.. My other half says "You have too many helms" my response "No dear I have a helm for each kit"... She doesn't buy it though......

Hrolfr

Having an auction also?

If so, I got a couple things for ya

PM me your current snail mail addy.

With a quick scan through it does look like one of Adam's (WMA) helms.

Just sayin'

Found this recently

Yet another project for the coming winter (summer is too damn busy).

I'm a fan of breathing and not being paralyzed, so I'll always wear a gorget, even though they are one of the most uncomfortable pieces of armour I own. ^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^ I would never put a newbie out in my armor ( I wear barely over minimums). Except for my helm (viking occular with riveted drape...

HG EikBrandr here on the Archive.

Wisby "D" plates. He also does them in anodized black or brass/bronze. They are made of T6-6061 aluminum.

Eik is a stand-up guy, I cannot reccomend him highly enough!

Hrolfr

Keep goin' Otto, I'm rootin' for you!

Hrolfr

Matt and John are correct. Mass of the helm keeps the squishy gray blob from slamming into the walls. :P Simply adding an aventail to a helm (properly, of course) will add mass and historical accuracy (especially for basicnets):wink: My kits total weight is 35#. 15# of that is helm and aventail. My ...

And that is a heck of a deal Fynn is offering you. I paid over $350 for mine 15 years ago!

I always point peple in their di...

5 of 5 acressed the board. What else can I say? I bought 2 of his brooches. Sent the money order 5/28. Got the brooches on 6/9. Beautiful work. These will make a lovely addition to the Baronial largesse chest. I would (and will) purchase more stuff from Matt. Would have posted this yesterday, but di...

Again, nice hats, Matt! Putting the word out on the local yahoo groups!

And sugar baby Ohh baby oh baby ohhhh!

If I had an extra $500, I'd get'em both

Hrolfr

Love the lines on this helm. It's my size.

I have an extra kidney. If I could find a buyer, I'd be all over this.

Good luck with you sale.

Sekanjabin made with red wine vinegar Looks interesting! Thanks for the idea! I wonder if pickled beat juice would be effective. Some swear by Apple cider vinagar over white distilled. For the most part training and acclimating to the conditions I find helpful. Heat and sun can do a number if you s...
