Yep, I realized that I had typed jmcfarlin instead of jwmcfarlin. It should be jwmcfarlin@adelphia.net

So, pending your payment and Mark Vier receiving a PM to change his payment, I am out of Larges.

I attempted a coarse visual example to express disregard. Imagine a mime expressing self pleasure and you have the idea. Now, let it be known that I am not competetive in the corporate, though I am competetive in the individual sense, and mostly in regards to an ideal, not others. War points? What h...

Sweet! Back to the West again. I was last there when I did service to the life of arms at the Stronghold at World's End where I received my first AoA under a different name, from Jade of Starfall, through then Baron Havordh Aettarbani, for some little service as exchequer. John Jehan de Pelham, ecuy...

I dislike it greatly. So much so that even though I have not fought in about four years, I can at least see the bright spot: Neither have I fought from my knees in four years! I will always seek and work to increase opportunities to win honor without grinding my harness into the mud. This makes me a...

I have completed two tours of duty in Iraq. I have traded shafts with the Turk. Since I have been rather embroiled in these matters, and I have spent only two years of four at home, I temporarily laid aside the life of arms for love of my wife. Sir Johannes has remembered me well to the body of hono...

Imagine the hugest air dick stroking motion ever in the universe. Who cares about the frikkin' war point? I'm not trying to change anything. I'm just saying what makes sense to me. Obscure grading schemes and an attempt to quantify and compare and place on a continuum wildly disparate sorts of effor...

Jehan de Pelham

What is contrafactual is that A&S competitions aren't graded as I proposed, therefore, getting into an argument about whether one hypothetical way would be better than the way it is seems wasteful. What I am proposing basically reduces the whole thing to a "Is this what is desired?" &q...

jwmcfarlin@adelphia.net is invalid? Can't be so--I just received a payment for a shield blank. Try again, please.

It would be stupid to argue contrafactuals with you, Brent. And it would be useful for a Laurel to say "This is the sort of work that I as a Laurel would be proud to see from a fellow Laurel." One of the reasons folks in the SCA enter A&S competitions is to earn the chops and get feedb...

Thanks, Z!

These are extras from the run I had done to kit out Compaignye du Chalis . This basic design is seen all over the place in iconography from the 13th through the 15th centuries and is suitable for western european portrayals. Each one holds 12 oz, and is smooth-glazed in and out for ease of care. $40...

These are some extras from a run I had made for Compaignye du Chalis . These are all replicas drawn from examples seen in the Museum of London and elsewhere in europe. They are all stoneware, except for the large redware jug. Prices as shown. Shipping tends to run $10 if it goes in a flat rate box. ...

My position on these matters is that it's a bitch to maintain harness given a lack of retinue and a day job. I am all for the proper look and sustainability.

I had these made for Compaignye du Chalis , and have three extras. These are replicas of ceramic cookpots seen all over the place in western europe from the 12th through the 15th centuries. These work by using banked coals. Get your fire started, then when it's been going a while, pull off some coal...

What do you think of this one? I wanted to rough it up a little bit, as it's old for my portrayal, so I put it in the lawn in the back yard and left it a couple of nights, then I "recovered" it and cared for it without removing all trace, resulting in a sword that appears to have seen some...

Eldric, Brent is right. Avoid diaper butt at all costs. Go with the later 14th century higher-cut chausses rather than mid to early 14th century slightly lower-cut chausses. Everything else is good with the minor improvements as stated by these other most worthy gentlemen. Your shield is still a bit...

I would be hard pressed to say evil against a bit of armor that comes most in contact with the muck and wetness being fashioned out of a material that defies corrosion and rust. The metals available today are not what was available then. I have a nicely done set of sabaton in spring steel, but optim...

Yeah, pretty complicated. No way to make a standard. For those marketing helmets, perhaps this would work. You have to deal with the shape of the head around, and over the top. You'd need two drawings on one square to the inch or centimeter graph paper. One would be a top aspect showing the shape of...

If you can find a way to do the Fiebing's leather dye in a precision manner, and get it to penetrate, then that might do well to get something into the substance and not just on the surface.
