I noticed at Clinton that your belt sits between two rows of lamallar at your waist, where there doesn't seem to be any plates. Any particular reason? Awesome kit btw, it was good to finally meet you on the field after admiring you gear here on the archive for so long. Thanks! Ya, the plates are se...

In that last pic, what are your clothes made out of? Fabric wise? They look great, but I can't pin down the material. Good question. The tunic was linen with a suede that's not the suede side (I liked the color of the back). The pants were some striped material that came like that... The wraps are....

So, if I could ask a couple "just wondering" questions... Do you still wear the minimal gorget on your neck, or something different? Why did you get rid of the broaches? What about the ring belt? What do you wear on your feet? What's on your knees/ thighs? How much did splitting the mail ...

Your awesomeness makes me want to change personas. Well done. Love the pelt draped across the shoulders. Are you post-Roman Celt? What are you using for body padding these days? Is there still a gambeson hidden under there? No gambeson, and I don't wear the pelt much anymore. Just a tunic, then cha...

I use the AL viking fittings and a leather mitten gaunt. The key for success with a hilted SCA sword as Sir Lex (Britehelm on AA) has informed me, is to strap it tightly to your hand with a buckle. Honestly, you can't play the same whippy-stick game with it like you can with a plastic hilt and ultr...

I have a wonky shoulder currently, quite often being tweaked when I throw a wrap.

And video of me I often feel like my sword isn't under as much control as it should be.

More weight at the hilt perhaps would help that then.

Hilt Weight

I have been using a Baldur basket hilt for some time now, which was brought about by my 4 previous steel hilts before that breaking constantly. Lately I've thought of making some mitten gauntlets and adding a brass cross guard and pommel to the sword, and maybe a d-grip for extra knuckle protection....

In people experience, is 20 minutes and 200 (yes, very rough ballpark) a good time?

I'm starting to play with water hardening a bit, it just seems to add time and be more finiky so I've avoided it to date.

My Lady made the padding for mine. Integral pads made of linen and cotton batting. Holes were drilled in the bazubands and greaves then the pads were sewn in. A pretty awesome and comfortable result!


Heroic, I should do that with my own.

The initial amount is gone (92" length). I now have a 2" x 66" piece up for grabs at $30 + $5 shipping, first come first serve. Same price as the 92" pieces because they were so long as a bonus more than anything. Reply that you want this last piece in this thread and it's yours....
