That's just great. M'Lady is humble on top of it all.

How in the name of God are we supposed to resist?

PS:What's this about Jeff and Boobs?

The making the jacket part and the sewing is what I was refering to. I thought the spangles were bought but making them is pretty insane also. But I know Bob is not insane, more like the sanest sp? man I know. He married you didn't he.

How about eventually, something on a video format. I know it is a lot more work but I know I would buy one for sure.

I blame Kass myself, but in a good way.

I went to take a look and by God you are insane Kass. I did a decent amount of mail a while back and I don't think I would have the patience to do that. But I have to say it also looks very nice.

Here are a couple of links to search engines for books.

You will surely find some copies there.

Weren't they shorter? Maybe not because of alimentation but the beds seemed kind of on the short side.

Funny how now we need steel and know it's value. Before I started armouring I would not have looked twice at a piece of steel on the ground. It was just cheap scrap. Now I'll stop my car in the middle of the road to pick up a piece of steel.

Do any of you have pictures of this fun event to share with us?

How about some asbestos fabric or similar heat resistant material between the metal plate and the stump?

Guillaume, I will take both if they are still available. I'll check for shipping but it would sure be nice if we could meet to make the exchange when you come to Montreal. Email me when you have the details of when you will be here.

Thanks

Guillaume, I may be interested in one. How much In Canadian Pesos and how much for shipping to Blainville (Montreal)?

And after that they complain that I am the one sweettalking Marianne.

Ugo, I found this.

But it is his personnal website me thinks.

I am no expert but I am with Alcy on this one, artistic preference me thinks.

I remember one from A-Bob from a while back. I'll try and see if I can't fins a pic.

This is not the one I was talking about. I can't find it.

I would happily host them on my site also if you want.

It would be nice for us metal pounders to work with the "soft" people.

Sadly then I will have to stop, for these words come not from research but from the bottom your humble servant's heart.

Where do we send the money?

This may sound weird comming from somebody who will buy the book but don't make it too cheap. It is very useful knowledge that you choose to share (not all do) and should be compensated for it appropriatly sp? Don't know if this makes sense.

Yes, you are right, my folks came Britanny in the 50's. To live with the Indians here in Canada. We must have the same roots. I never felt the need to look far into my familly history but maybe I will. The problem, with the French, at least is that there are people who like to hear their voice as op...

Padrig

Thanks, ma petite, for clearing that up. I guess since I am not SCA, I haven't heard the term use in that sense much. Keep up that linking for words, very useful if you want to portray the French. But in their case is more a liking to hear THEIR own words.

Pad

Wait a minute... I'm French.

Padrig

Kass, ma chouette, I still don't understand. If I am talking to you about your 16th cent. personna and telling you something is period aren't we assuming that it is period for that particular era?

Pad

Padrig

Doesnt it serve as a general term meaning right for the period you are doing, discussing, etc?

Sasha, they are the 2 same exact models by the same company, with linkage for gas. I'll check for spare part prices as you say. Chris, you lucky b....

Well the time is here. I am ready to buy a Mig welder. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve narrowed it down to 2 models. But I am not sure which one to choose. They are basically the same, but one has continuous full-range adjustment of voltage and is $250 more than the other which has just 4 positions for adjusting voltag...

OOOHHH! Pwety tool!

Can't help you Hal but thanks for sharing, now I want to make one.

Is it supposed to end this high on the torso? Just curious.

I guess he is right if he can find a reproduction of a 15th century Ottoman Turk's carpet.

SirSylvanar, except if you are on a VERY thight budget, this should not prevent you from starting, 20-30$ more for a 4X8 sheet is not that bad.

Cheer up Hal. Look on the bright side. You are the SPANGENHELM MASTER. You can surely make even a plastic one look good.

I forgot that to mention Bob Hurley as someone who example "encouraged" my striving for authenticity.

And would you kindly thank your Dad Kass, on our behalf, for not getting you into Baseball. Me I am not in the SCA. I have developped the "Bug" though (for armour and now gard) and I would thought that if you are not born with it, it comes pretty fast after being exposed to something. I guess that g...
