While most of the posts here focus on Titebond for modern leather hardening Epoxy comes up a couple of places and I was wondering if anyone has used it with good results?

Sorry, yes I meant for a European time line from a US perspective 1600 is an oddly good date because basically both the Spanish and English put permanent settlements down right around this period in what is the modern day US. Piers is a Franco-English form of the name Peter. Most widely thought of f...

The funny thing about pre-1600 is that it actually ends up basically being pre-European colonization of the continental US.

You might contact Johannes, I hear tidbits about him having a group but I know nothing about it, and even if it is geared toward something else if your geared decently you can often do a display of something different. The idea of doing something here in Texas comes across my mind every month or so ...

I'd rather do media mail to save the couple dollars. PM me with price and paypal e-mail for 78628.

Froissart Chapter XLII It was a matter of much wonder how two such fine armies could separate without fighting. But the French were of contrary opinions among themselves, and each spoke out his thoughts. Some said it would be a great shame, and very blameable, if the king did not give battle when he...

I guess my answer is pre-1500 Europe.

You and the 400 other men who have written asking for a full size, full res version of it.

I am wondering what peoples opinions are on some of the books that interpret medieval WMA manuals such as MEDIEVAL SWORD AND SHIELD:The Combat System of Royal Armouries MS I.33 THE SWORDSMANS' COMPANION A Modern Training Manual for the Medieval Longsword Secrets of German Medieval Swordsmanship etc

The theoretical new list was discussed in another thread.
And I'm looking for edge widths which is not included in that document,.

Really. You may not be trying to irritate people, but I fear you may be doing so regardless.

To do it without cluttering up the top 7 pages with stickies, you'd need a separate forum where only the moderator could start a new thread. It might be a good idea, but I completely understand why JT doesn't want a gazillion forums here - the sites that do that are a pain in the ass to navigate. N...

I'm wondering if it might not be time for a new sticky about reviews and complaints. I think many of these threads are good but do we really need threads extolling every transaction that takes place here. If someone is selling a few things they don't intend to use IMO we don't need a review of the t...

While from what I have been able to discern thus far the edge width of the blade is not a specific factor in what blades are allowed I am curious as to what the range on the blades that are legal or experimentally legal tends to be.

Armour choices both today and through most of history is basically an economic formula like many things actually are. First element is ergonomics. How does the armour affect ones ability to move or see vs its ability to protect you. Sometimes mobility or sight is a better defense then the armour. Lo...

I guess my question would be why? Our helmet rules require 1/4" bar stock. 1/4" spring steel weighs roughly the same as 1/4" mild steel. That is more stringent then society minimum. 3/16 is society minimum with a caveat for 1/8". So basically it would allow you to move to the mi...
