I thought ballista bolts killed on contact.

Drill? Jeeze, haven't you guys heard of the wonders of the Whitney Punch? LOL

Might I recommend you look into United States Postal Service priority mail for shipping? You can cut your customer's shipping expenses in about 1/2. That's over 10% savings on the whole invoice.

Are you going to be out at Bordermarch Autumn Melees? (Not asking if you're merchanting...I read the thread.) LOL Just curious.

Morgan

"can" Sure.

Should? depends on your persepctive.

Instead of an armet, why not go with a temple hinged close helm that WOULD have breathes?

It's 8 years. I placed my order for delivery around Christmas 1998.

I've discovered that "YOU SPILLED MY BEER!" works for me every time.

And the answer to "who did the armour in the Neimann Marcus catalog, it seems, for those who didn't know.

email sent to Johannes....

Fergus... no, I'm in Dallas, 250 miles south of JP. But that's far from insurrmountable of course.

I've never seen any that Patrick did, were they made for SCA combat? I'll have to ask him when I talk to him next.

Morgan

So what do I have to do to get a pair of GOOD spring steel gauntlets? That fit totally correctly and all that? I've been looking for years. Every time an armourer seems to be about to make then, bad things happen.

I just want to second or third or 5th (wait, don't say fifth around Bryce) er... whateverth the good reviews. I got mine this morning, and after ripping it and putting it out on all the mp3 sharing sites....er... I mean listening to it intently the first couple times, I have to say, it's a real deli...

I did competitive judo for about 15 years, and played basketball in jr. high and football in highschool a bit. And a tiny bit of recreational hockey. I like to skate.

To quote Lou Brown in Major League, "Who's this fucking guy?"

Morgan

I can't stand marshals like that.

Morgan

I always thought that was too far from our area, so when the owner decided to charge a lot more for rent (due to the fact Beaumont now has a castle there and so he felt it was worth more for rent ), I offerred up my place which is only 30 miles from our two major cities that make up our shire. That...

"Taking care of obligations"... WHAT THE HELL EVER.

I placed an order in NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT. Nothing. I haven't heard form him in years.

Makes me sick.

Morgan

Glad to hear you're back to it my friend! Very good to hear.

Morgan

personal opinion here (and im just piggy backing georges comment and mine is totally unrelated to his): why is it that men (and women) get all pissy towards the other person? thats stupid. if i came home and found my woman in bed with another guy i would deal with her, not him. what commitment does...

Morgan

Looks pretty cool to me. I've seen rubber flanged maces that to me looked cooler, but this is awesome.

Morgan

It's a silly thing to discuss. I should have dropped it, because it didn't really matter. When I read the first statement, it seemed to imply that the feelings were unanimous. If it had said "albeit NOT unanimous" then that would read to me as an admission that it wasn't, but still widespread. To me...

Morgan

The only way I can support this is because Lochac is a sovereign Kingdom, and they should be free to make their own choices. As long as they realize that the rest of the world doesn't play that way, let 'em have at it. Odo I think the reason to support it is that they're a different corporation tha...

Morgan

Sorry, Raito...yes, what Iaenmor said.... They need to get hit, even if they feel that they can't handle getting hit...otherwise they shouldn't be able to authorize. Why should they get hit? Because they probably WILL get hit. Raito, it more of a question of were Sir Morgan should have put his comma...

Morgan

The third post wholeheartedly embraced it, so I'd think it's not unanimous. LOL Yes. That would be, I suppose, why he wrote "if not unanimous". That means something quite different from "and completely unanimous" where I come from Where *I* come from, when someone says, "if not unanimous" they're i...

We have a Duke here in Ansteorra who's story was very similar. What he noticed was that while at work, he would start to lose feeling in his legs just sitting at his desk.

I wear leather cuisses, and while a shot still stings, it's fairly rare that I get a real good bruise.

Correct...and if he's paying himself a wage before "profit" it's totally different too.

World of difference between "not making a profit" and "not making any money." LOL

You could try a toboggan store....

Cheers,

The third post wholeheartedly embraced it, so I'd think it's not unanimous. LOL

I'll tell the story of the only time I intentionally hurt (not injured) someone as an illustration. The story of this guy is pretty long and I won't tell it all here. Suffice it to say he was a bit whiney and wouldn't do anything for himself, including armouring, weapon making or anything. A year an...

I do not consider this chivalrous. You may only ruin the game for the individual for this battle, or war, but enough of it and they might quit. Why not just hit them in the cup? They won't need that to work on Monday. Kill them in the battle? Fine. Take their arm in the battle? Fine. Make it so the...

In Ansteorra we have archers who are NOT authorized in ANTHING but Combat Archery. Calibration is still part of their training. They just don't have to fight sword and shield to get authorized. I'm all for getting everyone on the field that can, but I think that the borderline adults who want to get...

I was in a bit of a pickle, unable to finish a spring steel arm project with crown just a bit over a week away. So I talked to IceFalcon about a pair of his light aluminium arms. They're something I could make myself sure, but I didn't have the time, my garage is a mess still from the move in... And...

Morgan

Want to set me off? Say, "I'll take that because it's just practice." What a HORRID thing to say to someone. So let me get this straight... you want to give me positive feedback on a bad blow? So you want to TRAIN ME to fight insufficiently? THANKS A LOT. I agree that you can tell someone, "good sho...

Morgan

While I, in conttrast, love combat archers, I am against non-contact archers. Sorry, but I can't support that. If youre going to be on the field during combat, you should be prepared to be struck. (marshalls excluded, of course ) Dude...have you ever marshalled at a big war? I got hit several times...

I want spring steel gauntlets
