They can certainly be sealed. It is just not something I want to try and work with. I figured it might make a nice project for someone to finish these. You can line them with bees wax or brewers pitch. Michael de Buslingthorpe does a good job of it. They both hold about the same amount the round bot...

These were done as experiments in making bottles. They are hardened in the same wax mix as my armor, but need stoppers, straps, and lining. They are not currently water tight. They should hold approx 20 ounces of liquid. Asking $20 plus $8 shipping for each one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214...

Something I want to make completely clear. This whole issue was my fault and no one elses. Sir Alexander has been a terrific person in the opportunity he has given me, and I am the one that screwed things up. I am doing my best to make amends and turn things around, and he is giving me that chance. ...

Thank you all for the support. Good thoughts and prayers are always welcome. I have never really thought of my stuff as any more than what average munitions grade armor should be and isn't really anything special. There are all sorts of people who can make as good or better gear than I can. But I wi...

Okay, Sir Alexander and I have had a long long talk and I jumped the gun quite a bit. A lot of the issues were all me making bad decisions and assumptions and we cleared the air and I am NOT shutting down.

Back to work first thing in the morning.[/b]

I am not able to use the same lodgings arrangements for Estrella that I had the last 2 years, so I am looking to see if folks can suggest something else for me to come to Estrella. I fly in and can't send or bring a camp set up. I have looked into motels and such but they are all pretty expensive. R...

I know that most people are traveling for the holiday right now, but this sale is only good until Sunday. So to take advantage of this sale you need to place your order by then. What constitutes placing an order? I will need to have your measurements, color choice, and at least a deposit on file. Th...

They haven't been hardened yet, which is why the inside looks so white. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/torvaldr/1-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/torvaldr/2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/torvaldr/3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/torvaldr/4.jpg

I guess not. Were you interested in an ax?

they look GREAT!
what is then handle made of?

It is a solid brass draft horse hame tip.

Torvaldr

Hope that didn't come out wrong... I meant it as a compliment. In hind sight, comparisons can be unwise. No, not a problem. I didn't take it that way at all. Just making the point that all shovel greaves will to a certain extend resemble each other. And craftsmen, or women, will often arrive at the...

Torvaldr

Yes, of course the same could be said in reverse. And the same was said between my shovel greaves and House of the Wolf. The truth is there are only so many ways to modify Greco/Roman greaves to meet SCA standards and they are all going to look similar.

Torvaldr

Actually these have not been hardened yet, so they are just the color of the plain leather. They will be a brown of some shade when done. Actually though these will be black with the border in yellow.

Awesome! Can I add that pic to my gallery?

Torvaldr

Tried to make it look a bit more like a greco/roman greave while still meeting SCA standards. It still needs a demi knee to be legal. But I thought I would share the new design look.
