Hey Chris,

If you find a vendor, but needs a worker, I would be glad to assist!

1) was that the kit you jousted Rod in last year (with solid lances, steel coronels?)

Maxim, If I had the money, I would be all over that. That is a beautiful piece of art.

Hey Chris,

I'll take the political thought book. We can do a lunchtime meet-up.

Also, Lisa, Sarah and I will be at JVRF (couldn't afford to go to Ohio) - at least as patrons.

When I ran the Sword of Valour jousts in 07 we scored individual jousts (i.e. the winner of the joust recieved 5 points, 3 points for a tie, and 0 for a loss). We had it set up as Tenans v Venans (with 2 Tenans taking on 6 venans - each facing 3 per round), but make sure that you have some type of s...

Ya, its killing me that the 'recovery' hasn't hit my neck of the woods yet. I'm fiending for a set of his 16th C arms, munions and legs to complete my harness. Chris, You and I work for the state, it'll be a looooong time before the recovery gets to us. And, Yes, this is a BUMP!! http://www.merctai...

James, let me know if those gauntlets don't fit you.....

I think this was the thread on its construction:

Vitus, how strong is the hammer part? I will be looking to get some poleaxe "wasters" for WMA use but need a solid hammer as well as blade.

Lloyd

Bump - because Allan is a great guy and we need to keep American armourers!

Lloyd

AL wrote:Lloyd, did you get the FB message?

Yep. Replied this morning.

Hey - those needing arms:

These are only $149.60!

Lloyd

I've never had one of Allan's helms to joust in, but he does make them.

Here is his website: MERC TAILOR

He does make a great breast/backplate combo:

For $385!!

Lloyd

Allan makes top-rate armour, prices are great (even before the sale) and the turn-around time is unbeatable. He is also a great person to work and deal with.

This is definitely a win-win for those needing armour.

Lloyd

Oh yeah!! I am going to be back in the saddle again!!!

June 19 - Beaver Dam Wisconsin!

I could also use a Cable Compressor.

Yep, in the corner next to the Radar Contacts.

This image was taken while the rider was trying to control his horse after it went all skiddish. Infact I was quite impressed that he was both able to get the horse under control quickly AND he was able to stay in the saddle. I was looking at those pics last night and was torn between wanting to co...

Lloyd

Lufu, I'm out on this one - Lisa already bought my Anniversary Gift - so I gotta wait. I do want to come over when you get one in to take a look at it though.

Lloyd

Lufu, my big box also subs for a mounting block - and I ride draft horses! You might have to meet him to pick it up - shipping on the big boxes is rather pricey.

Lloyd

The extremely low prices and the lack of a decent description just made me think that something wasn't kosher with this (I could be wrong).

Lloyd

Two uprights and a ridge works best for me (and I have had no trouble putting the tent up by myself in about 1/2 hour). Lay out your poles, put the canvas over and insert through the grommets (the uprights through the ridge), put out about half of your stakes, step "inside" and lift the fi...

Lloyd

I have two of Todd's boxes, one normal size in pine and one HUGE one in oak - his pieces are not only beautiful, period appropriate, but they are REAL furniture (which is what I am using both of them for presently

)

You can't go wrong with his work and this is an awesome price.

Lloyd

Hi All,

This listing just strikes me as wrong -

Ebay

anyone recognize this gear?

Lloyd

Sorry about that, welcome to Gulf Wars scheduling One of the things we have discovered the hard way is how much is required in the way of ground crew infrastructure. I believe someone (Jeff) suggested having about 6 folks for every jouster. As you saw, we were a bit short on that..... As for the ta...

I am very saddend by this rule.
what say u?

Sooo, I guess ya'll won't be jousting for a bit?

(sorry, jouster joke, I'll leave now...)

Lloyd

Since I work for the Legislature, I only get paid once a month, so if you can wait until next Friday (and I can convice my wife that this would be a great anniversary gift) I can actually bring cash to you (and do a pick up when they arrive).

Lloyd

I jousted in one of Allan's gorgets (and legs, and arms,

) for years, never had a bit of trouble - fit great right out of the box. He makes great armour.

Lloyd

I have had many dealings with Beathan/Velund in the past. His armour is great and, if possible, his castings are even better!

Lloyd

Whatch doing on June 19? We're running a children's medieval faire for the Y in Beaver Dam.....

Lloyd

I've worked with Chris for years and he has a great event with his Janesville Ren Faire (and you won't meet a nicer person and his guild members are great!). If you can do it, take this opportunity to show off your group (I would be there, but I'll be in Ohio working on SCA balsa jousting that weeke...

"Realgestack: Knights joust passing left to left, wearing gridded grand guards and buffs" ....WTF? That is the style of "solid lance" jousting that was used in the WCJA and by most of the tournament jousters in the US and Canada. It is generally referred to as Heavy Armour Joust...

Once this commission is completed (and I swear to be damned it will be), I'll quite probably never take on another. That would be an incredible loss to us all. You and your wife do incomparably beautiful work and it would be a crime if we lost the valuable services of two such talented artists. I'l...

Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn ---

I soooo want to be in that joust!

Good going, Brother, they are beautiful and you guys will be spectacular!
