looking at different helms, all of them way over what I have for a budget. I don't need anything pretty, just as long as it is serviceable. I will add that I wear glasses, and something that has a front hinged faceguard would be nice, but not necessary. Torquil try here. I have never purchased from...

Agnarr

Rowan, i am enjoying your stories. They deserve their own thread.

I use something similar to that for slow work. the trick is learning how to use it correctly.

Agnarr

Ok, i misread the question. Yes a hold should be called. in melee, a fighter needs to protect his hand and get out of danger.

You are a pretty, pretty man.

Historic enterprise was selling their remaing stock for like 50 bucks at pennsic.

I am to fat for good deals.

otto, passing this on to one of my guys....

even with a discount those leather (not hardened) plates are more expensive than getting stainless steel plates from one of the other vendors. I think Tandy SERIOUSLY needs to rethink their pricing on those. I am sure that Tandy does not have someone cutting these plates out by hand. They have a pu...

I was reading a woodworking magazine a while back and a specific article caught my attention, the article was about keeping your tools free of rust. Well as we all know rust is the spawn of satin, wait nono itâ€™s the spawn of satins butt hole. The article reads if you take kitty litter put it in c...

Make all the battles 1pm starts. No damned reason whatsoever to make us get up that early ! Congrats on the well deserved accolade. But seriously though, it is usually 11:15 before the battles start, and it isn't any hotter. I think you should win crown. you change the battles to one and make an ea...

I don't believe that is final yet.

Guys, I really appreciate the advice. Agnarr, you live in E-21. There are camps on your block that have never had a fighter. Ever. That means that every girl who wanted to have a guy carry her favor on the field of battle missed out. Every person who wanted to have somebody to ask about fighting ge...

Agnarr

I camp in e21, past chalk man, down and up another hill. Hell, you were up there frieman. A big motivator to me is to have ride to the field. If i have that i will fight longer in harder knowning i am not going to be crawling up that last hill to put up armour.

Agnarr

I'm not totally sure I was going off something that I thought looked rather neat, but not too fantasy out there. I don't exactly like the idea of "fantasy" I admit. It can't be plastic it has to be leather. Listen to me. DO NOT BUY FROM BY THE SWORD! I have pieces from them in leather fro...

I think i will purchase some.

I still can't get over that in the middle of Vitus's Pennsic report he has an infomercial for spacebags.

Amen. He should publish his others. He is truly a gifted Skald.

Says the fat man crossing his fingers

DUDE, I might be willing to go in with you on a bulk order, if that helps.

I couldn't do it for a week, because pennsic and all my bills being due tommorow has me strapped.

Wow, thats wierd... hope they keep it up.

Okay So i'm at the point where i'm mounting the hair dryer i'm going to use into the pipe area of my coal forge. I remember people saying that they take out the heating element of the hair dryer, this I can easily do but the question I have is why? Wouldn't hot forced hair be better then cold force...

I'm most interested in disarms, but learning anything else would be useful.

I have found that if you kick your opponent right square in the scrotum while bound up that a quick wrist flick with the shield in the wrist holding the sword it will usually disarm them.

I refuse to buy any Armour until madmatt is on the list. Seriously.

Adrienne is very beautiful. Very. Yes she is. Practiced opera singer, gourmet cook, trained killer, double D bust. Be wary though. She is scary smart.

I m leaving before that, so have a drink in my honor if you don't mind. I'll try to say hey to folks while i am there though. And, i am not hard to find on the battlefeild, im the dmbfk with the Cap'n America sheild.

Perhaps the answer is to have the East and the Mid take on the world. It would go a long way to heal some wounds and I think that the numbers would be closer than the debacle of the last few years. I can not emphasize how wholehartedly I agree with that statement. I would love the opportunity to ma...

torvaldr lammelar is a good one as well.

Yup just show up. i usually do inspectinos a couple of days and marshall at least one battle.

the messed up thing for me, and it is like the episode of the twilight zone where the man broke his glasses and can't read his books. I have more money than ever, but can't go to pennsic. Sucks, cause i am an impulse buyer. I hate buying things online, but if i think it is cool and it is in my hand ...
