Attended my first actual fighter practice tonight in the Outlands < mundane Colorado and other states >. It was grand. For a change, I fought more then 2 people < normal fighter practice where I Was at >. For only being a 2 hour fighter practice, it was a sure fire workout. Not to mention going from...

Your Grace,

While not a bulk order for Pennsic, I did place an order just today. Billing address is signifficanly different due to moving to Colorado. I did put all the specs on the order.

To be a BIT more precise, the shield can be any size you want. Kingdom rules may vary, see below. According to SCA INC rules < whom is the main umbrella >, that is Except Australia and I think Finland whom are both incorporated though there own countries incorporation laws.

ChaineMaile,

One thing you CAN do to save some of your linen. Go out and buy 10-20 dollars worth of muslin. Do your test runs on that. No need to ruin 3-5 yards of linen at a pop and find out you have the wrong pattern idea. Just trying to save ya a bit of time and money.

Cheers

Hello... All is not lost. Drill 8 holes in your cop. One on the center top, one on center bottom one on each side of them and 1 on each side centered twards the side edge . You now have 3 on top and 3 on bottom and one on each side. Make a strap from the side edge to the side edge < this will hold t...

Best Unbelts of Drachenwald, on my list would be Viscount Brendon the Tired Count Marcus Eisenwald Grimr from Arnimetsee and some of the Frankmark guys Eorl Giles Maximillian Baron Elazar Bjorn Hello, I think 2 of them can safely come off the list now.

Hello, Lesse, Ashcraft/Baker hilts, no problems... strong as all get out, but very heavy. No problems with breaking. Cross Hilt and Gauntlets, Bad form caused me to blow out my elbow, so i don't go that route anymore < at least for the time being >. Illusion Aluminium Basket Hilts. Well, they rock. ...

Sixtus_Goetz

Thats Drachenwald. Each form a different Authorization. Except spear... that has 2. One for Fiberglass and 1 for rattan. However, if you get authorized in FG spear, it carries a rattan authorization with it. So lesse, Weapon and Shield, Pole weapon, Great Weapon, 2 Weapon, PF Spear and Rattan Spear....

Hello, I have started using a centerboss oval. I though the same as you with the hand protection. I use a demi-gauntlet, but when the axis is pushed twards your sword side it would expose my knuckles. I built a leather "box" around the handle that my hand sets in. When the shield pivots, the box rot...

Hello, I have heard of this person. From my understanding, he has one of the largest private collections of period swords < not sure if UK, Europe or World>. But I have heard rumors of him. Not much more I can give you, only heard of him. Sixtus Goetz < lives near the village of Lakenheath>

Sixtus_Goetz

You can try Waldryk's. He has one similar to that , that he produces.

Illusion also makes'em. Send them a pattern and they'll cut it for ya. Also make some nifty aluminium bosses also. I like mine. 24x32 oval.

Your Exellency,

You do realize that sounds really REALLY bad.

Hello,

Honestly, I think the cost of one of thoes would outweight the benefit. I have yet to see one that makes me go, Ohhhh.. that's nice. The price I've seen for them, $500 for a 3' one to $2500 for a 6' one. This is just my opionion on the matter.

It's admin fee's for the nifty 3 part non carbon temp cards, postage, printing the blank permenent cards and stuff. It's also good for 5 years. Maddalena Ah, fair enough. Packing and Post and such, okey. It's a little different here, but of course, we have a MUCH smaller pool of fighters in the UK.

Sixtus_Goetz

Wow, guess I'm just kinda shocked. The only supply that I'd think needs to be "stocked" would be the auth cards themselves. The admin fees, if the authoirzing marshalls themselves did it, would be negligible. Of course if every marshall has the potential to authorize someone, I could see where a cen...

Depends on kingdom, in Atlantia if you're on the recently expired list you just pay your 5 bucks and fill out the forms. I think recently expired is within a couple of years. You could try to find an email for the East Kingdom MOL and get advice. Maddalena Excuse my ignorance. What is the $5 charge...

Hello, I'll chime in here, I've made 2 aketons for myself. The best way I've found if you are going to quilt layers is, lay the fabric < already shrunk as much as possible > and quilt a section.

Hello,

I've just purchased one through Illusion. Looks and handles very nice. Had the boss mounted for me also. Thumbs up from me.

Illusion makes some that are <seem to be> very sturdy. Haven't had any problems with mine so far.
