I fear that thread has been lost forever, but there was a thread about someone needing an oxy tank bottom for dishing and then someone else came on and said that there was a guy who had a bunch he wouldn't mind getting rid of. I lost that contact information! Little help here? Thanks. --------------...

I go really slow with inside curves and take little bites with the back end of the blades as I follow my line. I usually use some brute force to make sure the piece I'm cutting rotates like it should.

Prince Of Darkmoor

Motivation for me goes through waves. Right now, I'm really motivated and into making armour. Maybe in a few months I'll get burnt out and take a couple weeks off. Thankfully, when I don't have any motivation one day in the shop, I can pick up an old project I futzed with before and try to fix it or...

1. It's not a stocking cap, it's a beanie. Winter + shaved head = cold. Beanie good. Cold bad. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif 2. The cop was originally dished much deeper but I ended up making it shallower so the lames would fit and articulate better. Still have to work on getting a deep...

After some financial and personal planning last night, we've decided that the Winter War Games need to be tentatively cancelled.

Sorry if this inconveniences anyone.

Prince Of Darkmoor

C'mon, you guys should be sharp enough to see what's really going on by now.

Alternate username, anyone?

Prince Of Darkmoor

Okay, I get it now. Thanks for wasting my resources.

Prince Of Darkmoor

Heh. Good eyes, Armour Guy.

Prince Of Darkmoor

After you've dished you cops make a pattern for the brass by putting masking tape on the cops. Makes fitting easier I can't envision how that would work. Care to elaborate? If you put the tape on the cops, you'd still have to take it off and then you'd be...

I plan to see how many of the Archivers I can drop in and say hi to (and pick the brains of). You are definately high on the list. Right on! I'll have to warn you though - your brain will likely be picked barren after you come out here for a few hours htt...

Vincent, that was deep

Prince Of Darkmoor

Sean, there would definitely not be any SCA type fighting going on, so feel free to break a couple arms a la Fiore

And yeah, I think I can get a short layover at LAX...

Prince Of Darkmoor

Yes, because it's not like the royalty could afford well fitting, functional, or extravagant armour or anything. Damn those peasants for being so well armoured!

I'm just here because the "Bastards Welcome" sign caught my eye.

Prince Of Darkmoor

Giddy old man? I'm only 21, you boob, and likely twice your physical size. Wait, I'M the one bound by a false reality? Aren't you the one who doesn't give a shit about real armour and wants to design some fantasy crap? And I love the line "I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW!!!!!! I care about what I W...

I hate you Bob http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif Seriously, very nice harness you got progressing there. I'm sure you are excited to get it! ------------------ Posters like you are the reason I wish computers came with a 'bitchslap' key. Salinas Swordsman Darkmoor Armoury

Heh, I stayed away from this thread because I don't usually give a damn about oriental armour or weapons, but what the hell. Okie doke. Where to begin. The other members of the Archive handled this situation so well that I laughed at many of the responses. Arc, there are two simple options you have....

Prince Of Darkmoor

And on a side note, Captain Jamie, your signature is the most arrogant thing I think I've encountered on the Archive yet. Even besides me.

Prince Of Darkmoor

lol Otto. We have maintained the same armour standards for over 15 years now and we've only had a couple of what might be called serious injuries - badly cut up finger, unconsciousness, deep cut above the eye (hence the face guard rule). We're not out to kill each other, so things almost always run ...

Prince Of Darkmoor

Oh, and I was also wondering if someone could circulate this to some kind of West Kingdom mailing list? I know its not an SCA event, but it's something SCAdians may be interested in.

Prince Of Darkmoor

I emailed Churchill at Brettun's leather about the availability of the thick black hides last week and he said he had exactly 2 of the 4,200 he originally had. He held one for me which is being shipping as we speak. He still has plenty of the brown ones though. I can't recommend him enough on his cu...

Prince Of Darkmoor

The games focus more on actually fighting and having fun than winning. At least, that's our hope. The team melee will have a winning team, but they don't get anything except bragging rights, and there will likely only be a couple people left fighting at the end of the melee. It's also quite possible...

This is the first event in which people from outside organizations will have an opportunity to participate in one of our events. If you're interested and in the area, come on out for some fun submission fighting!

Prince Of Darkmoor

Congrats!

Prince Of Darkmoor

Actually, I started making armour because everybody else's suits of armour that they let me borrow were becoming too small for me anymore, and I needed something to keep me safe. The first set of armour I built wasn't safe (or even remotely attractive) but I was proud of it at the time. Then I came ...

Prince Of Darkmoor

You ought to pick up one of those cheap angle grinders to smooth over those edges. I love grinding down my edges with angle grinders http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif If you've got a welder or have access to one, I think you can solve your problem with the "zit" on the nose. If you get that...

Prince Of Darkmoor

Very nice stuff Adam. I've always liked how symmetrical and attractive your spangenhelm tops were. You ever considered selling just the tops?

Prince Of Darkmoor

Cool! From just a short look at the helmet, I'd suggest working on getting those edges of the occularium ground smoother.

Also, does your helmet have a booger on its nose?

Prince Of Darkmoor

Thanks Robert. I didn't know that none of the sugarloaf helmets survived...interesting.
