Heyya,

I've seen 1/2 gauntlets with a flap of material <semi ridgid > covering the fingers pass with flying colors. Hope this helps.

Meaddrinker... He's Armour Eric on here. He seem's pretty strait forward and have not heard anything bad from any of his clients as least on here.

Mattmaus,

Yes. That's me.

P.S. We put it through at least 10 fights at candlemas and no dammage at all <grin>. Nice work.

I got to see that helm up close and personal this weekend. Very nice indeed. It does go well with her kit also. Very well done. It is made like a tank also. Should serve her many years.

Hello,

While not even close to being in the league as Master Knutt, Azon Corporation sells welded chain shirts. http://www.azoncorporation.com/New_AZONx.htm

I dare say its a replica of an <I think> Austrialian bank robbing pair "Ned Kelly" that used a suit looking like this out of boiler plate. Used it as a tank on legs so to speak. Someone can correct me on this.

Cheers

I will agree with greydragon. Master Terfan <SCA> has put alot of time into his encampment. It is a fine one indeed.

Hola, A good bet would be to try to contact Joe Skeesick. He used to live in the UK and did mass re-constructrions while he was there. A P.M. might get his attention, but don't know how often he checks his messages. Cheers Sixtus P.S. There are also alot of other UK armourers on here.

Hello,

You could use a generic gorget and wear an aventail on your helm to cover it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall gorgets being used in the earlier 14c.

You can also buy a strip of sole rubber < vibram of sorts > online. I got a 1'x3' section for $20 < saddly I no longer have the web site >. It is light brown and has little blobs on the bottom. Doesn't look 1/2 bad. Little shoe goop to hold it on and your off to the races.

Garreth, That is one reason I jumped on it so quickly. Figured there was NO way they were gonna stay that price for very long. Total with shipping came to about $172. Don't think I will find a deal like that again for a while. If I do post the pic, ya'll gotta promise not to point and yell "FARB, FA...

Welp,

Got it by UPS today. Bought an Xtra Large one off ebay the other day when the link was put on here. Price on E-bay was $100 less then on there site. Small weave, yea, but looks very sharp. I am fairly impressed. No missing links either.

Merry X-mas to me... Looks like I got the second one they put up. Been eyeing these for quite some time now. Now that the measurements suit me better, decided now or never.

I'll post after modifications I have in mind.

Rev,

Can you check your PM's in reguards to past commission.

Hello again, I purchased one of the first runs of the "carmel" colored plates. They look mildly like untreated leather < I do mean mildly >. I took an orbital sander to scuff up the surface to give a rougher apperance. I would wear mine with a lightly padded aketon. Worked find. Give a bit more padd...

Sixtus_Goetz

If your going to use them.. Stay away from the bright colors and go with either the black or brown. One or two of the metalic colored ones look alright. The holes fit 550 para cord nicely. A single knot will not pull out. You should have no issues with cord fraying. They are somewhat thick and will ...

Illusion sells an Aluminium boss. Works perty well for me. If you order one, they do sell a mild steel handle that goes with it..

I have one of his sugarloaf's. Works for me. For the price, you realy can't go wrong in SS.

Hello Wil, I looked over them and gave them a test run with His Grace, Duke Tomuki. I didn't actually purchase one myself. I do admit, you can't hit like a pillow and expect people to take them. Not like the heavier mace heads that require 3" of movement to gain the nessesary momentum. But then did ...

I recently looked over the foam mace heads that Mandrake sells. They have a authentic profile and approprate size. They are extreemly light, much lighter then any other mace-type-material I have encounterd. While these are very light and squishy, they DO hit with authority. They seem to compact a li...

hello, I've always had good luck with quilting the base fabric first then cut my patterns out of the quilted material. Yea it wastes a bit, but you tend to get a more accruate measurement < IMHO >. You will also want to pre-shrink any of the material you can. I know some of the cotton batting can be...

I will concure. Works great with Brass, SS, Mild Steel, Ti.

I wear a pair of Sir Mrks's made legs. 10 out of 10. It can take a while, but he's realistic and they are worth it.

Sixtus_Goetz

Myself speaking, I went from a 4 layers of batting to a 2 layers of batting and can't realy tell the difference. 2 layers should do you fine if it's just to take the edge off or used to prevent armour bites.

I have heard the same myself. I am curious if it is indeed Vicount Padraig and his lovely wife <Both of Nordmark if i'm not mistaken>. Is there a list of the contestants that entered at all?

Cheers,

Sixtus_Goetz

T-bob,

I understand the overtime part. I'm still game if you are. I was just getting worried when e-mail's weren't returned. When ya get to it, ya get to it, was just making sure I was at least still on the "list".

Cheers,

Sixtus_Goetz

T-Bob,

Can you shoot me an e-mail in reguards to the scabbard I have on order <email in profile>? I have wrote you but have not heard a responce back, not sure if you are recieving them or not.

Thanks much
