To follow Adam's query, I had him make me a set of soupcan-style elbows to match the knees I have (also from him). This was to ensure a 13th C. "look" for an item that, while it didn't exist, at least followed a known form for the era. Both elbows and knees are in stainless; I am very hap...

I do them both ways depending on my elbow and shoulder. If you want to fold it just to it in multiple passes. I use a rectangular stake with a rounded end. Its realy not much different then say when I put the flair on a kettle hat bowl. Work your way around folding a little bit each time. Once you h...

What really surprised me was that the plaster original I made survived 33 mold makings. I've been using plaster of paris because it's so easy to carve but I usually break it after a couple of uses. Next time I will try and make it a bit thinner without breaking it. Switch to ceramical or ultracal p...

Thanks for the kind words. Fredrich has supplied ample images links, but I will post this one as my wife is seldom pictured as most images are combat related. She works hours on end sewing and researching and is easily as hard working as any of us, just not on the field. <img src="http://www.whitemo...

"1396, which might appeal to the more tartan-minded among you, for that if you like. " Thatd be great but no one would be wearing the Tratans in 1396. They'd be dress almost identically to northen England or those of simialr social group in France. Plus this is in Perth not exactly Waaaay...

I am pretty sure Brother Amos figgured he would just get it fixed closer to home, the helm is onehe bought second hand, and was one of my first. This type of thing can happen. I know he has had to straighten the brim before, especially on such a flat and big brim. Nothing lasts forever, mild steel d...

YEah 1 at each of them.... maybe different themes. Make one WOR one 3rd Crusade ect. That would be great This would be awesome beyond all greatness... I can dig out an account of a judicial combat of 30 vs 30 that ocurred in central scotland in 1396, which might appeal to the more tartan-minded amo...

Hi there White Mountain Armory, Im sorry your offended but Im not sure what your talking about. I never said to verbally abuse anyone or be a smartass, or put them down, or send them away. What Im talking about there is mentioning when someone is rude or inflamatory to them in public, Not BEING rud...

If you good people out there see any chickenshit, rude, inflamatory remarks that are out of line, I think you should let the person know in the post that what he said/did is chickenshit. Pitbull Ok, this is very offensive and came from your hand "What a load of bullshit. No one got rude here u...

I dont think its correct to say "romantic" is not authentic. Much of the 14th century tourney culture stemmed from a great intrest in the Arthurian Romances spoken about in song and poem in areas like Burgundy etc in the 12th/13th centuries This embracing of and idealizing the romantic Art...

I could never do a cartwheel, in or out, but plenty of pushups in or out. The maile hauberk adds alot of weight, and I am having mine made longer. My new greaves and sabatons will add some weight as well. Aw man, your existing greaves are already dipped in awesome. Why on earth would you wanna repl...

In 89 I had known about the SCA for maybe 4 years, but the SCA guy I knew would not take me to an event he would tell me it was not for me. This was pre internet so finding it on my own was hard. I started my own "fight club" and that helped fill the void. I love seeing these old pictures ...
