Home Depot/Lowes Go to the section where they sell parts for assembling a deck, they have nail plates for holding 2 x 4's together end to end that I believe are 18 g gold rolled predrilled with a LOT of holes and they are 96 cents each (at least here in Buffalo when I was at the 'pot Saturday). They...

He posted that he's been having connectivity issues, so don't be surprised if it takes a little while to get a response.

They have a Yahoo Group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sons_of_Fenrir/

It looks like it's automatic add so you could join the list without having to wait for the okay from the moderator and post a message there?

Just a thought.

I find Duke Finn's video on targeting and Brannos's videos pretty good refreshers to get the brain in the right frame of mind.

It APPEARS to my less then educated eye to be a simplified version of the Churburg breastplate (and by simplified I mean no stop rib, brass edging, etc not in the shaping which looks pretty good in the kit). You can see the inpsiration here: m any other image I could link would involve sending you t...

What are you using for a pell? I have a 4 x 4 wrapped in carpet and just have a duct tape line where the top of the knee is, waist is and bottom of the helm - when doing pell work aim above the tape. Why put added wear and tear on your joints and swords and drive your neighbors crazy with the noise?...

William Freskyn Murray

I had an ongoing saga with Alan Bauldree, took him six years to get me a helm and legs built - and the helm was HUGE and didn't fit. I sent it back and we got things resolved. I went to AE War Practice that year, KWT is there and I see "my" helm sitting on his shelf so I went in and talked...

was to busy (and honestly to lazy) to send this to Ebay before Pennsic so before I do I'm going to give it one last bump - I'll take $250 and I'll pay shipping CONUS. I will ship international but buyer will be responsible for any Customs clearance fees and I'll probably have to ask a small amount f...

The newb was very apologetic, saying he initially was hitting the banner runner's trailing spear shaft as he closed distance, but then was not really sure what to do when he closed the distance, so he hit the bearer. In my opinion the runner should have turned to defend himself. If I am heading awa...

m I am not a combat archer so I'm not sorry what "good" or "bad" is but I know that Baron Cedric was one of the first in AEthelmearc to start doing CA and has been building combat cross bows for a long time. Never heard anything bad about his products and I buy all my target arro...

Two part rivets tend to be eaten by sweat and blow up to quickly, and in large quantity once the first one goes. Did a Lorica with them and REALLY regretted it. I would recommend copper rivets, insert them from the outside so the bottom shows on the exterior, cut to length and peen. Available at Low...

sorry Your Grace, just looked at your first post and the prices couldn't be bigger or more obvious! I would be interested in a pair of shynbalds and vambraces if you have them left and if they are large enough to fit someone 6'4"?? Let me know, I can paypal you now and pick up at War (will be t...

William Freskyn Murray

So Your Grace you will have stuff with you to check out/acquire at War?

How much are the vambraces?

Hi Ulrich,

Sorry for the confusion, I thought your gamboised cuisses were GDFB so I assumed your gambesons were too.

I honestly didn't figure that the week before Pennsic I would get any bites on the archive, but thought I'd give my peeps here first shot. Figured if anyone was interested I would get them the full range of pictures so they could see actual condition, from an aesthetic perspective it's identical to ...

William Freskyn Murray

I am willing to bet it's this one m Sean, a price and color will also help interested parties decided if they are truly interested, just a suggestion. I would love a back up gambeson so if it's free I'll be happy to take it off your hands!!! Otherwise I am to cheap to pay for sewing I can do myself....

A land grab bump and tomorrow it's off to Ebay.

William Freskyn Murray

a Thursday morning bump.

William Freskyn Murray

Thigvald, Agreed, grammatically you are correct and since it's impossible to ascertain intent from the written word I have edited the title of this thread. My intent was not to imply that the seller on Ebay was going anything wrong other than being ignorant of what they have acquired and are now att...

William Freskyn Murray

Also hence the reason I titled the thread possible lost/stolen - I doubt it's stolen, I'm 99.5% sure that someone found it in a basement, garage, shed and thought "this thing it cool - I'll bet I can get a grand on ebay for it." Ignorance is not a crime, but if this is someones who still p...

William Freskyn Murray

anyone recognize the heraldry? The seller obviously has no clue and if this is someones it should make it back to them. m Anyone want to pay $1,250 for a shield? If so I will be MORE than happy to make you a couple - and I could make them nicer than this one for $1,250. Sir Vitus - you should paint ...

Ok, I have finally decided that it pains me more to have my guitar sitting in the corner of my dining room then it does to sell it, so it's time for it to go. I have a Yamaha APXT-1 Travel Guitar, full details can be read on Yamaha's webpage here m I LOVE this guitar, it's the last in my collection ...

Find someone with a ski rack and borrow it, I've taken my pavilion (20 perimeter poles and the breakdown center pole) plus spear and polearm to events on top of my Scion XA.

When do you want it? At some point after Pennsic I'm hoping to get down to the shop/property and would be more than happy to bring along the tools necessary to make you something solid and functional. I don't really do pretty but we could build you something that would work for you for the cost of m...

Thought I posted pictures when I built it, finally just found the thread they're in http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/ ... ht=#845660

In case anyone wants to see pictures of the Mac Bible Chopper I built and read about the construction techniques.

Will

William Freskyn Murray

I would suggest listing more details like size, what they are made of, who made them (Shamrock obviously on this one) and how much you want?

Gonna save you a lot of individual messages when you could get the info out to everyone at once.

just my two pence

Irish, A question - how is your dagger hooked into your belt? Is it just tucked through or do you have a scabbard? Can't tell from the photo if that is a scabbard or the tape from your blade? I too have made a Mac Bible Chopper but have never fought with it because I have NEVER found a weapon that s...

We like pretties too, yes we do precious, yes we do.....

No worries man, I saw you're other post about your truck and I'd rather see you get the cash and be able to get your truck squared away.

Dwayne sent a photo to me, here is a copy. Looks nice but not what I'm looking for.

William Freskyn Murray

I shot you an email for pics but a couple thoughts that would probably help you sell quicker - if possible if you can provide a list of the items for sale, what they are made of and the maker if known it would go a long way. A "complete" set means different things to different people. Some...
