You can drill them easy enough, a fornster bot, a spade bit or a hole saw, i cut one in half with a hand saw once, it was a treat, took about 25 min.

Here is a little onfo to contradict Owens info "The avowed purpose of the SCA is the study and recreation of the European Middle Ages, its crafts, sciences, arts, traditions, literature, etc. The SCA "period" is defined to be Western civilization before 1600 AD, concentrating on the Western European...

Barony of Stonemarche, Kindgdom of the East. No loaner gear that im aware of, i used to keep a suit just as loaner gear, full steel legs and arms, cop, maille skirt, bascinet with aventail. My problem was it was not often returned in the shape it left in, i was happy to keep it in good shape, but pe...

Craig, there is plenty of room for a truck at my brothers buisness, and he has a fork lift and would be happy to recieve the order. I also dont mind hanging out there waiting for shipments since it gives me time on his bridgeport. That being said i dont think you and i would use 600 lbs and there ar...

Very True Chev http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif ill pass along the good word to both of them at the next practice. I was just reading the post "Proposed Schedule for Historic Combat Series Pennsic XXXI" and was pleased to see the variety, im bummed ill miss it this year. But i can only see...

Richard, i think there is a ladder to climb regardless if we only portray nobility. Lord or pesant in the sca you start out on the same step. A squrae peg regardless of his/her ability is likely to not advance in the sca because of that which makes them diff, while others possibly of less ability as...

white mountain armoury

Gee Chev, Artos warned me of your capacity for temperate air, im just supprised you have not typed "straw man" in this thread (grin) I recently read a quote by an sca knight/duke who stated that knights in the sca had many diff concepts of chivalry (im paraphrasing) I think you and SirRys could be f...

these cuts were made with a b2 and cleaned up by hand with a file. [img]http://www.thegreenman.net/wma/spg1.jpg[/img] You can do some decent detail work with one. You dont always need to pull the handle to make tight corners, i often pull the handle about 1/4 through its stroke and then leave it the...

my siloflex sword with bronze furniture hits like a ton o bricks, restraint needs to be shown when using it in fact.

regardless of its shape you should smear the block with grease, this may be a little messy but it will keep small particles from becomming airborn. Lead bad

I have been giving some thought to selling my lentner, its never been worn in combat, ive only put it on once or twice.
Its made from a dark green brocaid with a black linnen liner.

looks good Clay, you might want to make the inside top of the vambrace a little diff, cutting a curve at the top will allow for a more comfortable fit.
Very nice work

You can not dye leather white, teh material they use to make white leather is more like a paint, it sits on top of the leather instread of penetrating it.
Leather factory/tany etc carry the product you need, i believe there is a process to preparing the leather befor painting

large cranes use large bearings as well, and they do need periodic replacement.

Dalewyn, i have pics of covered breast plate pieces now without their coverings. I dont know of any book that is nearly as complete as wisby but focusing on corazinas. But i could put together some scans if you like. The problem with the one in the met is the hip protection, they should be "hoops" l...

white mountain armoury

Id say hands down Dalewyn has the best plastic armour ive seen, the shapes are far more correct than any others ive seen.
If you could get the profile of your mitten gaunts a little smaller (so they would fit inside of leather mittens) id love to have a pair

You will notice when looking at some helmets of christian/germanic origin you will find both christian and pagan symbols on the same piece, the coppergate and benty grange come mind. The benty grange has a boar crest, yet is also has a silver cross on the nasal. And even a christian roman soldier wo...
