There is a hoplite reenactment group in Britain that make their armour entirely from multiple layers of linen glued together. It looked like it would stand up to the rigours of combat initially quite well but one of their group that I spoke to told me that it gets considerably more flexible over ti...

I hear you can sell plazma in the springs:)

50 bucks a pop... in just a short few months you could buy it:)

If I were to sell plasma for something, it would be for a Master Knutt Welded Flat wire TI hauberk.

If I had $800 laying around, it would MINE O' MINE. I love that helm and with the aventail it's a steal.

With pix... I'll buy a pair also. Good for loaner set if nothing else.

If you need space to host your pix, PM me and I can get your pix set up on my AA webspace.

Hello,

Found this while cruising the Maciejowski's bible site.

Might shed some more light on historical practices of medieval knights wearing a white belt.

Gwen and Jeff,

Thanks much <I won a T-shirt> first time around. You two are the coolest

I beg to differ.

Hello,

You may find copper rivits will fatigue alot quicker when using metal to metal bonds. You will probably have better luck and longer joint using brass rivits.

I'd say 3/16th inch. Thats what I am using as of right now.

I checked Western Steel/scrap a couple of months ago. No luck there. I may have to check back this week. Is Perkey Steel over there by the construction and road closure area? Yes. You can reach Perkey from Constitution. Talking with Master Dane, Western Steel has a fairly large influx of what they ...

Your Excellency,

Have you looked at Western Steel and also Perkey Steel? Perkey Steel is up on Markshuffel and Constitution. They may have some.

Cheers

actually, if it were me, and i didnt care about the acid anymore, i'd sit the bucket on some concrete, and begin dilluting the acid by judicious application of water hose. stick hose in, step far away, turn hose on. once its run for a while, then i'd add the baking soda. -+G the EPA might not like ...

Master Glendor's " Talon armoury " are pretty damn good in my opinion.

http://talonarmory.com/products/gauntlets/ < top one's >

They are Stainless brushed finish. They are not very heavy at all. Lighter then I was expecting < don't have a definative weight < Alcy?>>

I would seriously recommend staying away from any polyester. Or anything that has even a little bit of polyester in it. It tends to hold heat alot more then natural fabric. Cheers P.S. If your looking at doing quilting. I suggest doing the quilting first.. then cut the pattern out of it. Quilting te...

Checking your armor bag as luggage is fine. I've even sent the shield "bare", though one time the airline put it in a large, clear plastic bag. The biggest challenge is not getting it to and from the UK, but flying within the EU. Flights originating and terminating in North America adhere to a diff...

Ok... Traveled from the UK to the US with armour 3 times, UK to Germany 1 time, UK to Sweden 1 time... all round trips. No issues as of yet. Just had them in my check luggage.

Mom watched me for the first time last year. Comming from her mouth " I coulda went 10 more years without ever seeing that ". So I know what yer talking about.

Looks like it would have been a fun tourney. One question, what's with everyone throwing a wrap with these particular axes. It doesn't appear to have a striking edge on the back end.

Hello,

I'll give ya hint on how this works. Your paying $40 for a fan, that happens to fit on a cooler. That's it. The fan sucks the cooler air from the ice filled cooler and blows it into the room your in. If your going this route, you'll need PLENTY of ice.

Do these plates really work? I went on to the Newcastle website and right there on the bottom is a message that says: "Plastic lamellar will not prevent injury." If they do work, I'd be interested in taking the pewter ones off your hands. Most armourers will have a disclaimer of that sort on there ...

I "think" you mean "Return of the King". No matter what.. good deal though.

Since the English archers were in leather or cloth boots and not steel they moved with greater ease through the mud. Vebrand I seen this also and was interseting except the above passage they said. All the sabatons I've seen were a shell for the upper part of the foot. Not the sole. The sole either...

Hal,

For $325 < if thats including the backplate >, that's not bad at all.

Just used a lightly padded aketon under mine when I used it... Worked fine... both mine and Maredudd's were made out of GAA's birka lamella.
