Great: m Greater: m Even Greater: m I have personally owned the Albion Duke, the Albion Steward, and the AA Knightly Riding Sword, and have used a few other Albions and one Angus Trim in cutting demos/practice. These are all the REAL DEAL! Your friend will pay more for quality - but you can't get an...

I have never ordered any of Beathan's leather gear, however, I have had a custom helm, pauldrons, and finger gauntlets made by him and the quality, customer service, and turn around time was outstanding. I would (and have) highly recommended him to other jousters and Schola practitioners and will co...

Beathan is back up:

It was great getting to meet and talk with everyone who came. Here are some links to pages with pics from the fayre: m m m m I'll post more as I learn of them. Again, thank you all for coming. We did pretty good and will definitely be going again next year (with a full WMA tourney!!!)

Hi Stephen,

I'll second the Beathan recommendation. My joust helm was made by his shop and it totally rocks (and I am selling it after my last joust this weekend

). I received it less than 3 weeks after I ordered it (and it was a custom job!).

Give him a yell.

Lloyd

Last BUMP, since I will be on site all day tomorrow getting the faire set up. Hope to see you all there! (and don't forget that we are raffling off a custom Mercenary Tailor version of this helm: Conical Helm if I can get it away from my 3-year old daughter (who has been wearing everywhere since las...

Hi All, In coordination with the Bristol Renaissance Faire Military Guild (Guild of St. Michael), the Compainie of the Northerne Sterre (the Living History part of the Historic Camelot Project) will be demonstrating a wide variety of medieval weapons against both soft and hard armour this weekend. T...

Lloyd

Thanks for all the good wishes! I hope that some of you can make it this weekend - weather in Beaver Dam will be sunny and 72 degrees (not a hurricane in sight

).

Lloyd

Bump - Since we don't want Steve to get off too easy!!

Lloyd

I got mine from Cat to joust in last year. It has taken a couple direct shots and held up great! I greatly recommend her work.

Lloyd

Hi All, I just wanted to cordially invite all of you to my last joust next weekend at the Camelot Medieval Harvest Fayre in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin (it is not nearly as isolated as the name makes it sound ). After 24 years, 12 concussions, 40+ broken bones, and more fun than any one man should be allo...

Yep, he teased us mercilessly on this posting:

How soon would you want them?

Probably not until November.

Lloyd

Hi Michael,

Yep, the poleyns. As I retire from jousting, I am still very active with both my educational presentations and with the Schola St. George and wish to put together a 14th century kit for both.

Lloyd

Hey Steve,

Any word on when you will have these ready for mass consumption

Lloyd

Hey Michael,

Is it possible to combine the splint legs (with the splints on the inside) with your 14th century knees (for a 14th leg harness)?

Lloyd

"Takes forever" is relative. I defy anyone to name an armorer that will get you a piece of armor not in stock in less than 6 months. The only way to get something quickly these days is to buy it off the peg (or make it). Beathan and Armour and castings. Custom made helm, pauldrons, and gauntlets in...

Due to the skyrocketing price of gas, we have had a few merchants politely bow out of our October fundraising fayre. We are therefore looking to fill their spots. If you know of any "period" merchants (especially candle, soap, leather/fur, or others) that would be available and interested, please ha...

Lloyd

I gotta admit that I am surprised that no one has snapped these up ! They are brand new (never hit with a stick) and they typically go for $295. $175 is a steal! I can give you some background, Uberfist bought these thinking that they would be large enough to joust with. While they are perfect for S...

Lloyd

I would like to see them as well...

Sigeric, If your friend can wait until after the first weekend of October, I would sell him my AC close helm for a really good price. Heck, if you guys wanted to come down to our fundraising faire in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin on that weekend he could take it home with him. I am retiring from jousting af...

Lloyd

I joust, full contact, in an Armour and Castings Helm. It is as good, if not better, than many $1000 helms that I have owned and jousted in in the past. Beathan is great to work with and you can have him "custom" make your helm for a few bucks more (I mean literally, a few bucks). Mine has a 12ga sk...

Hey Beathan,

Are you out there, my friend?

I would love to see the pics!

Lloyd

Sounds like you had a great time! I am still recovering from being knocked unconscious jousting a few weeks ago in Michigan (and no, it wasn't a problem with your helm, but the buffe/grande gard combination that I was wearing for Realgestech) and the resulting post-concussive syndrome. Gotta love ou...

Lloyd

Hey Russ,

Tell Petter that he is being too picky

Lloyd

The day after taking a lance shot to the crotch, I found that my squires had written "Don't forget your cup" on the back of my shield (I actually didn't notice it until I was already part way down the list - I was laughing so hard I missed the pass and took a good shot to my helm for good measure).

Lloyd

Beathan,

Did you sell all of the bascinets at this price? I have a couple of people interested and are putting together 14th century kits.

Lloyd

Lloyd

Not yet - I DO plan on posting pictures (hopefully today - I know, everyone has heard that before).

Lloyd

Bump - and I have seen these, on a "normal" sized human they would be pauldrons, my squire, Uberfist, is not "normal" in any way.

Lloyd

Nicholas, My squire Bob (Uberfist) has a nice, unused pair of Ice Falcon pauldrons for sale at a good price (he had them with him last weekend, he was trying to sell them to the Royal Guard) (see post further down). On another topic, I WILL take pics of the arms (and get measurements) tonight - I am...
