Yes, I have a tent, small 10 x 10, but I don't have alot of stock at the moment, so there should be room.

I'll contact you off line.

I have decided to run an introductory offer for one week only!

I have edited the original post with available pictures and our sale prices. These prices are available through 8 April '05 only.

Uilleag

Thanks for the kind reviews! I am really enjoying working on this production line, and dealing courteously and promptly with clients is part of the business, IMO.

Uilleag

How much do you want for the Norman helm? I'll have my merchant booth set up if you want to operate your selling stuff out of that.

Just let me know.

hey Uilleag, looking good! 2 questons can you fit double extra fatguy on the Splinted Cuisses and what is the bulk discount? Thanks! Yes I can fit extra large people. If it requires a signifigant amount of leather more than I normally use, (over 2 sq ft) then I will charge for the extra materials. ...

Alphonse,

If you are at all interested in leather, I can probably be of assistance to you. I didn't respond before, because I had the distinct impression that you are interested in metal cased greaves.....

Or by full greaves do you mean greaves that protect the shin and the knee?

I got the design for my 13th century breast plate by looking at a sketch drawn by a historian. His sketch was based off of a written description of what the cuirass looked like. I cannot verify his translation, because I can't read ancient French, or whatever language it was in. That and the book is...

Uilleag

Actually, the 360 wrist protection was one of the motivators for this project, but my demi's and full gauntlets have always had full wrist protection. The true motivator was my desire to create as close as possible a full 14th century harness in leather. I think that the end results will be aestheti...

Hi all, The demis are strapped, dyed and polished. I'm a little disappointed in the shaping definition I got in this pair. I will need to look a little more to attention to detail in the future, to get a cleaner look. These first two pics show the thumb coverage. <IMG src="http://www.houseofthewolf....

Uilleag

Greetings all, the shovel greaves look VERY cool, but I gots a few questions about em. well what period? where? and as for the leather how long do they take to their shape? how well do they stand up to heat? Ive been looking for something close to this. Thank for you time all. Pelaguis Pelaguis, Th...

I guess this is too late but I did turn up the pattern I used for mine: (picture snipped) Cheers, Tim How very funny! I developed my pattern, which looks very close to yours, Tim, just by studying the pictures of the demi that you posted. Those look very nice! just a question, as to how much covera...

Uilleag

Hi all, Wanted to show you the new prototype that I am working on to go with my 14th century line. I have taken a few different pictures and combined the styles / patterns to develop this prototype. It still needs dyed and polished, but the shaping is mostly complete. I am still playing with some of...

My good Sir Johannes, I find your story amusing and I can very much relate to your anxiousness causing you to misremember the date. I shall be in attendence at Lillies myself. I would be honored to cross swords with you in some fashion to make up for our lost bout at Gulf Wars. I will have the coute...

Though I am thankful for the grace that allowed me to still attend my good friend and brother in arms, I do not feel that I have met the cost of my broken promise. I ask here, good Uilleag, that you name of me a price, a ransom for my honor, that I might again be good within the sight of God and al...

Unto all who have gathered to hear the tale of the Couter, let it be known, that another chapter is in the writing.

Greetings all. I removed the tutorials from my website, because they were so successfull that they were detracting from orders. Due to overwhelming popular demand I have made the following decisions. The first I will be posting the Shovel greave tutorial back onto my website tomorrow morning after I...

And now, gentle cousins, I must make a public apology to one of the participants. I had before the war agreed to bear good Uilleag's helm and gauntlets to the field for him...but in my lust for battle, I forgot the time and date of the arrangement, and had engaged myself in the Legion of the Bear t...

I ask all, especially the right noble men of coat armour in my new homeland to please forgive my hasty words. I am so excited about this great deed of Arms with Lachlann, and I am still very new to my new home, so I claim a great amount of ignorance of all the great men of coat armour there. In the ...

Uilleag

That sounds like a great idea! I will see if I can find any pics of shame I can post of my early leather work. Think I look scary now, should have seen me 20 years ago when I was in highschool! Don't worry, I will focus on the leather armour projects and not my scary face with a very feeble attempt ...

No, actually, I have 6 hands. My two, and my two employees 2 each makes 6. One person does all of my pattern adjustments, and cutting, as well as some polishing. The other employee does the beveling, grooving, burnishing the edges, and some dyeing. I do all of the hole punching, shaping, hardening, ...

Hi all, Even with the harried Gulf Wars prep for House of the Wolf, I made the time to make my sweety a new pair of legs and a c-belt to hang them from. She was using aluminum tied onto a pair of knee pads! Yuck! Can't have my sweety's knees and legs getting all beat up at Gulf Wars! <IMG src="http:...

My Lord Jehan, should I prove myself worthy on the Anvil of Virtue, I plan to trasport it in a carrying case and have it on display at every event Hotel de Byram attends, that I am present for until another should prove themselves worthy and relieve me of the joyous burden. However, I will require a...

GAA will have about 15 pair in stock. Your choice of black or brown, large or small. He sells them for $120.00 / pair. Look for the large white banner with GAA written in red script. These bauzubands are made of 14 oz water treated, work-hardened, (read dished), heat treated, then sealed they are co...

I shall be located with Hotel de Byram at the event. I shall be known by my arms, Per pale or and sable, a chevron between 4 wolves rampant, counterchanged.

I will be fighting in my colors, black and gold, and I shall have my mail hauberk on over these.
