I wanted to see what it was like, mainly for heavy fighting and Archery. First I have to say that all the people there were very nice. Some more inclined to talk to you than others but it is understandable. Like you said, I imagine that they see lots of one time onlookers and they probably get frien...

Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how it turns out.

...any feed back is welcome... look of the site , something mising ,... Well for starter the S in missing. The sites looks good. Like Lord Vanguard said, whatever you do keep it simple. It is the best way for a commercial site. People who want to buy something want to know what does it look like, h...

So tomorrow I will be attending my first SCA fighter practice, as a spectator of course. What am I looking for as far as good or bad things to give me an idea of the kind of group they have?

Pad

Padrig

Wow! how can I not try it after all this. I will probably go tomorrow night to watch. I imagine that it also has to do with the mentallity of the group, a little like you have some good and bad martial art schools.

Thanks again for all the help.

[quote="ironmongermisc"]That is self pitying baloney,,, quote] I would call it more being careful. Is it not one of the advantages of advancing in years? I use to just jump into something without thinking about what the repercussions could be and paying for it afterward. I have now realize...

Padrig

I will go take a look at the local SCA and see if I like what I see. Of course there is much more than fighting but if I like what I see, as far as fighting is concerned, am I too old to start. Of course I am not that old, 35, but can you fight against 18 year olds and still walk the next day? I don...

Padrig

I have never seen one myself Guillaume.

Pad

Padrig

Wow! I hope you can use "The Force" or something cause it must be pretty hard to see with that helm.

Pad

Padrig

Same here!

Welcome to our addiction.

Happy Metal Pounding. (as Hal would say)

You'll soon meet him, he's the spangenhelm king.

You can try Abebooks.com also. I found many copies on there but pretty expensive. 75$ US was the cheapest.

Pad

Bookfinfer.com is another site for books.

Padrig

Here here!

Nice shop, especially the bench.

Thanks for sharing.

Pad

Padrig

I can't help you as far as gauntlet shape is concerned but another one of those upside down with a big perl in the middle will make a fine looking seashell.

Pad

Padrig

Thanks for the link S-O.

And Krag, one way or the other this is beautiful stuff.

Thanks for sharing

Comming along great Jeff. How is the video by the way. Worth the price?

If you want you can email me the pics and I'll host them for you in the meantime.

The Makita will cut 14 Ga mild and 16 SS like butter.

Pad

Padrig

Blond hair!

Be sure to write front/back on the helm Hal.

Very nice as always

Thanks for sharing

Pad

Padrig

Thanks for the tip.

Maybe stick jocks could put one inside their helm?

Pad

Padrig

Sure, the more tutorials there are the better.

Looking forward to seing it.

Pad

Padrig

Thanks Gaston, I am looking forward to seing it.

By the way, I am sorry for misleading you. I have no children but I will name my press after you at least.

Pad

Padrig

Looks good

Here you go

JS1600 http://www.makita.com/Tools_Item_View.asp?id=86

JS3200 http://www.makita.com/Tools_Item_View.asp?id=130

Pad

Padrig

Not the smaller model JS1600 I have but the JS3200 will cut 12ga SS. So since mine is rated 18 Ga ss and cuts 16 Ga you could cut 10 with the 3200 I asume.

Pad

Padrig

Get a Makita power shear first. Less expensive and more useful. Then a Beverly later.

Pad

Padrig

If you ever get pictures Gaston I would name my next child after you.

Pad

Padrig

Ash, try legs comission or legs order instead of "command". It doesnt translate fome "commande".

Pat

Padrig

Thanks to you both for helping me see what I already knew I think. It just looked cool, all tools do.

I'll probably keep the money for a belt sander like you said Hal.

Pat

Padrig

The is a sale coming near where I live and they will be selling them. One 12 tons for $120 and 20 tons for $170. So here are my questions: 1) How useful is it to have? 2) What I am looking for as far as quality is concerned? 3) Is this a good price? Being, like many here, a tool whore, it looks inte...

Thanks Sean, sorry for not understanding the question. One of the drawback of having French as a fisrt language.

Pad

Padrig

High, so maybe High Guard for your purpose?

Pad

Padrig

Ash, under english, plate armour and shoulders, the title is still in french (choose a piece).

Looks good keep up the good work

Pad

Well I attended my first SCA meeting/fighter practice.

Re: my web site !

SCA fighter practice...what am I looking for?

Can you be too old to fight? (SCA)

Anybody has a "shop press"?
