Might be even nicer if you could breath out of it. It is pretty though.

Syr Rhys I think he may have mistaken one of your comments for one of Sir Brand's who's post may be taken as saying just that: Nope, not at all Maeryk. The game is created to accommodate a wide variety but still has boundaries. My point is that the opinion of "just some guy" does not carry...

I submit that if I walk onto the field in plate with a breastplate that's as wide as a real one (which limits how you can move your arms and your torso), and steel gauntlets (which are heavier and more restrictive than the plastic ones I usually see in early-period "harnesses" or than bas...

So far I've only received PMs or email from 2 people and have responded to both. My mail box still shows no messages from anyone else

Some combs I did awhile back. Posted them on Halv's project site and thought I'd post them here as well. They are made out of elk antler. http://inlinethumb51.webshots.com/1906/1199724106048832893S600x600Q85.jpg This is a case comb I'm working on now: http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/292/1203184331...

I warned you about that. Should have left it on. You have 2 choices now: 1 I wear it and let it fall of. Problem is, now that you have 'degreased' it you will have to reoil it or it will start to rust. When you reoil it you will have a nice sandy/oily hauberk. 2 Find someone with an air compressor a...

Patrick, It is indeed double layered. I wanted to make sure the belt was sturdy enough to handle the weight of the scabard and sword and to keep the belt from folding over. Also helps to keep the belt from stretching over time around the tie holes. Here are the pics of the newest scabbard: http://i1...

Check out your 'reply' button or the top left corner ofthe screen where the Armour Archive logo is. I believe that is the design

Not much taper at all. It was a gentle taper to a semi rounded tip. More Viking / early Norman blade.
The one I'm working on now has more of a taper to it.

OK, since folks are showing off some of their works I figured I'd do the same. This scabbard was made for Rian Mulliagn, our newest knight in Gleann Abhann. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a127/camric/IMG_0548.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a127/camric/IMG_0551.jpg http://i10.photobucket.co...

Jeff,

I have a hauberk for sale. Its a flat ring round head rivit. Mild steel with the zinc coating already burned off. Selling it for $325 +Shipping.

I'll add a pic in a bit

LOL! Actually the 14th century scabbard I'm making is for Sir Elisar. However, I did have the pleasure of making our newest knight's (Sir Ryan) scabbard. Funny how things turn out. BTW here is a pic for those interested in seeingthe work. http://inlinethumb44.webshots.com/427/2123526300048832893S600...

Lucian, I made my coif myself of the basic pattern and added the face drape later. Mine is butted round link and I simply added a triangle flap that crosses my face just below the eyes and ties to a ring on the side of the coif. I never found anyone who made them professionally so I had to make my o...

Beathan, Have you improved your quality control issues with belt plates & studs? As you know, the last batch of belt bits I ordered from you were virtually useless in the form I received them in. I hope the quality has improved because you have some great casting pieces but after the last batch ...

Now this is my idea of interpretive re-creation!

I'm looking for examples of how the scabbards were/are attached to the belt and any differences in style. The pics of Albion scabbards are a great help but I believe they are more 1100's-1200's designs.

Gothic Eye is nice but lacks the needed details or close up shots.

Greetings all. I am making a scabbard and belt for a friend and need any documentation, pics, carvings etc that shows the rigging for a 14th/15th century harness. I have seen the line drawing design for scabbard/belt making thats been floating around here but I am not sure if that is an earlier peri...

Grease is period. Leave it and wear it off in combat.

I cover my curved wooden shields with fabric to make them last longer. Word of advice: Forget canvas. Too expensive. Use burlap. Cheeper, there are more spaces in the material for the glue to get through so it holds better. On wood, using wood glue, coat the shield, then lay the fabric over it. Let ...

I fight in a similar style low profile leg such as the one shown here. Mine are street hockey knees. They do work for SCA combat HOWEVER: You will find that the knees will crack in a short amount of time, esp if you get hit on the tops of the knees alot or drop quickly to the ground on your knees.

My last two swords split completly down the center, not across, but from tip to tail. I'm thinking a bad rattan stick myself. I know I throw a stiff shot but halving two sticks in a row seems a bit odd.

This tip is not as good as the original but Raymonds Quiet Press has one very similar with an added bonus:

Some of you already know this but I'll post for those who do. I own 2 Getald tents from Ancient Battle Crafts. Several others in my household have bought them as well. I'm told they are put together in India by the same people who make the U.N. refugee tents. They are not bad tents and many parts of...

Here you go Odo. We had the pleasure of fighting next to both Sir Richard and Sir Robert. They were at the edge of the Saxon center and we held the edge of the Saxon left.
