Thanks Gwen. Had to order 15 yards for that price.

There was armour. Where?

Nice job gentlemen.

Order sent this evening. Thanks once again for making such cool products.

John, Edward is right you are a great man with outstanding business ethics. Not many would have noticed the problem with the chapter and few would have cared. But you did. You have sent out new copies at your own expense and threw in a lovely gift also. Good men can and will make mistakes and have m...

And you haven't posted these essays here for review and our enlightenment, why?

Sorry about derailing your thread Kotek. Clermont, there is no doubt in my mind that some of things Mike and I noticed are damage that has occur from the ageing of time and use. But at the same time some things we noticed were do to a slip in the original construction. Little things like file work b...

One of the problems we have currently is that we expect everything to be perfect. Some many things now adays is made by computerized machines that can turn out the same product ad infinitum. Something hand made is going to have some flaws. It all will depend on who made and what price range you paid...

Murdock, that is a coal shovel. Little bit heavier on the steel than your every day snow shovel. I have to agree that the penetration on that shot would not have done much if any damage. As far as the first set of pics, I really do wonder what kind of steel they used. Looks like some really cheap st...

Thanks, I got on site after the fighting had started. I missed most of the earlier stuff and made it just in time to watch Sir Morgan and Duke Patrick-Michael. This makes up for it.

iaenmor

Well the one I left is the drawer. You can always pull it out and measure. Don't know about you but poster board is cheap compared to steel. Not to mention it easier to cut out. Nope not changing the spelling, I guess I have got used to you and others spelling it wrong. Granted you get a lot closer ...

And of course Mike makes me double check myself. I was off a ounce. Heavy Leather: stiff, oak-tanned leather at least 1/8 inch (3.2mm) thick. Often referred to as belt leather or 11oz. leather. Still I have to agree with Mike it seems a little on the light side to me. But I am sure those that made t...

Ok, Neassa I will fill in the blanks for Gates Edge. How often does it happen -- week/month? Twice a week, Thursday and Sunday. Who comes and roughly how many show up? Usually between two to about a half dozen. Who teaches? Just about everybody. The local knight marshal is in charge but we all help ...

Damn, John you are going to make me send all my money to you aren't you. Nicely done. Expect a order from me early next week.

iaenmor

Yes, that is a letner(sp) underneath the breastplate. The bottom is hanging out below.

http://home.earthlink.net/~old_bear/index.html has a nice tutorial on making guantlets.

Cet is right the first person I would be asking is Sir Jean Paul de Sens. He is the current Earl Marshal for the Kingdom. He does frequent this board so he might see your post. Based on the discussion that I had with him about finger gauntlets, what he likes to see is the proper amount of padding, t...

Payment sent and I am looking foward to this. Thanks and welcome home.

iaenmor

Starting actually using them lately. God, I am loving them. I took a great sword shot right on the tip of my thumb and the worst I got was a good stinger. Put a little padding in them and you should be allright. I talked to our Earl Marshal before wearing them and he had no problems with them if the...

Adric, check in the paint section. That is were I found the spray on version.

iaenmor

Twist away, I won't be able to make it this weekend but should be able to come up the weekend of the 11th. If that is good for you that is.

iaenmor

Ok, sounds good. Let me know when you feel like a visit and I will take some time out of my oh so busy schedule (NOT). Heck, it I get off of my duff I might have a surprise for you when I show up.

iaenmor

Ok Mike now I have to come up to the shop and visit. Those are very similar to what I have been looking for. A little smaller on the fan but just about right. Going to agree with Gundo, the lames need some work but you seem to be doing that. Looking better.

iaenmor

Badon, 100%. Not in a million years. That man has more metal in him than on him when he fights. Let me know when you are able to start banging on things and I will make a trip up your way. I want a really good look at that helm and want to take some measurements on the small disher/planisher you don...

Rowan, to answer your questions. Read Christophe de Frisselle's post and read the rules. Once you done so and if you still have questions please come back and ask them. One of the things that you will find about this board is people are more willing to help if do some research first and ask about wh...

Greetings! I was wondering the following subjects. 1) Halfswording techniques in SCA fighting? Allowed? 2) Grappling allowed? yes no how much? (that means can I just jump the duke and stab him while he is wondering what the heck?) 3) rules for two handed sword fighting? Thanks!!!!!!!! Rowan Halfswo...

iaenmor

No, some are going by the old rules. Some are going by the new ones. Some are going by what they were told years ago. Some have not bothered to look at the rules since the caveman days. Some will read and understand them one way and some the other way. Never ending cycle if you ask me. If everyone w...

D. A shield or weapon may be used to displace, deflect, or immobilize an opponent’s shield or weapon, so long as such use does not endanger the safety of the combatants. A shield or haft may be safely placed against the opponent's body to restrict his ability to strike or defend.

iaenmor

Well at the time you asked, no I did not have time. Just got past all of that and now have some time to do some things. Armour whore, you betcha.

Looking foward to seeing it and I have few question for you when I see you.

iaenmor

Mike, let me know when you get it. I want to take a good look at it myself.

iaenmor

Lindsey, might work but I will guarantee you the marshals will bounce you for the horns.

iaenmor

You are welcome.

Scroll down to other articles IV. There is a .pdf version with the drawings.

Not my understanding of the rules but I will sign the petition. Most everyone can read something and come out with a different understanding from someone else. That being said if the fighter is comfortable without some sort of rigid material on the elbow behind the shield and it is covered by the sh...
