I may have to buy a side of white belt weight leather.

If that's the case, I'll have a limited number of custom belt strip sizes/shapes available.

Any interest? That'll help me decide if I need to buy that belt weight leather for this project.

It's not cheap.

I think it's left leg, tall with a 28" round... tempted to go 30" round.

Thanks for the kind words.

As I understand it, though I was not present. Jarl Cedric Rolfsson defeated Duke Davin Steingrimsson in the finals. That confirms what I had heard then. Thanks for posting the information. I am assuming you were there? Any other names of the final pairings? How was the final? Do tell. Take care and...

That is the most ridiculous price for a set of hidden legs I've ever seen in my life. Someone had to say it... no wonder he probably has a queue from hell. *ponders* Does anyone know his current turn around time? I have some newbies I may point this direction. Would he be willing to just sell the pa...

Bump for 2 new sets

Magnus Ulfgarsson

As silly as it sounds since I think the tools are pretty simple, I want to buy a set of tools to do rivetted chain. I imagine all this is... is a set of linesman pliers with divets. I tried to do that myself, and found utter failure in the process. If someone can just make my lazy ass the tools so I...

Magnus Ulfgarsson

That's retarded.

That's just them collecting interest, nothing about safety concerns. What a crock.

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Boooo... oh well man, maybe in the future we can get you something to keep.

Bump for... hmm... rent?

I'm finally getting new body armor this weekend in the form of lamellar. I know most people use paracord to lace it, and I've got the website saved for the online vendor. However, in my never ending frugalness, I found an Army surplus store that sells it in 50' packs for about $5.50. I noticed on t...

To stubby for me anyways.

What's the size / length on the knee/shins?

Like .. center point knee down to the bottom.

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Bumpidydidy.

I want an aventail... if I wanted a coif I wouldn't have posted!

Will this be for your leather helmet?

No... I don't have a leather helmet.

It's for my heavy fighting helm.

You bought a coif and not a tube-neck camail?! Hope you got it at a substantial savings. If you're outfitting a bascinet, what you do depends entirely on the configuration of your camail strap and/or vervelle line, which determines that configuration. Vervelle lines and their camail straps appear i...

So I have a coif coming that I'm going to decapitate and make into a short aventail. Curious as to what peoples opinions are on the best way to mount it that doesnt' include me ordering something online. Probably just ... a leather strip with the rings stitched / pinched inside it then rivet it arou...

Magnus Ulfgarsson

I think anything that gets more people in chain on the field is a great thing!

I'm usually pretty alone.

Here's the skinny on that weaver/tandy machine.

It was in the catalog but was never produced, straight from Management.

Magnus Ulfgarsson

And while I have a Tippman Boss and both swear at it and by it, I've no intention of selling it Likewise. Tandy did get around to producing their own since Tippman refused to be railroaded. It's got a deeper throat than the Boss, not sure how it is overall though. I really need to get out of this a...

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Thanks Gavin, I corrected the thread title This is just shooting in the dark to be honest. Maybe someone is up- or downgrading their business. I just do not have the money for a new machine ATM, even though the dollar is so low and Tippmann is havin them on sale. There aren't many machines like the...

Satin Sheen will work, it's my prefered seal since it doesn't look all plastic gloss-like. It goes on after the dye, and you'll probably need more coats on the back than on the front. I just use neatsfoot oil (cow oil), there's debates over what's the "best", I've never had a problem with ...

Magnus Ulfgarsson

If you're going to put a finish on the back (I avoid it if I can)

I'd oil it lightly first and let it set in, just because it'll be hard to oil it after that since the front as well as the back will be sealed.

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Also let me note that I understand that role-playing as a term doesn't necessarily mean table top dice throwing games.

But in the context of role-playing attached to LARPing, it does. This isn't someone dressing up as a police officer in their bedroom that we're discussing.

Magnus Ulfgarsson

I think there's a lot of people that don't understand what role-playing is. And let's get this straight, I'm a big role-player, I never got into LARP, tried it a couple times, just wasn't for me. Role-playing is pretty much acting, and I have seen it at SCA events, but in such incredible small quant...

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Wow, this thread went bonkers when the troll arrived.

Where the hell is the don't feed sign?

Magnus Ulfgarsson

I dunno, there needs to be something more to it for it to be a LARP. I think at the center of it you need a storyteller and stats, and for the players to take on a bit of acting, taking on a role. . Just because people run around with boffers, does not a LARP it make. It's like it's own crazy sport....

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Just a quick note. A LARP can involve no combat, no fantasy, no history, and could be by its definition be just some people taking on various roles of the modern day. As boring as the game would be, you could easily do a LARP for a.... McDonalds... you could all take on the roles of various employee...

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Bump.

Magnus Ulfgarsson

Wow! You make some of the most beautiful leather armour and accesories! Great job! I wish I could mold and craft using the skins of dead things as well as you! Greatest quote ever perhaps. lol <I>I wish I could mold and craft using the skins of dead things as well as you!</I>
