Jousting Lance Pics
I've searched all over and I can't find the original topic were I promised someone (I forget who) pictures of how I constructed my 14' lance. Seems like 2 or 3 weeks ago, but any way: [img]http://monsieurgeoffrey.faithweb.com/images/lance_grip.jpg[/img] Here you can see the swell under the arm which...

Related questions: When do you do the punchwork for the bands, while it is still flat? How do you add the silver foil? Is it spread over the plates then torched underneath to adhere it? Is gold leaf added the same way as silver? (Heated or some form of adhesive?) If doing a design inlaid in the brow...

You've chosen the heaviest period of plate-re-enforced chain maille to portray, but one of the easiest to do authentically for the SCA, if that is your intention. Coat-of-plates are starting to be used, barrel helms or over-helms over a tight bascinet, steel or leather knee and elbows, gutter vambra...

Thanks, Brenna. And Jamie, they are now history as Patty rode so much last weekend she wore through the material on the inside of the thighs.

No, it's not a bib, just wrinkles in the coif. The purpose of this was to test the straps for the kite shield, as well as try the helmet. I got hit in the face with a steel sword at a show wearing this helmet with a small brass noseguard similar to the Wladislaus helmets'. I was also nervous about r...

11th C. Norman fortifications, the "motte and bailey" castle utilize log structures. I ask because I(and some freinds) own 20 acres in eastern Utah. We are building a log fort to use for seige battles. Of course, they went to the holy lands and learned to make proper stone ones with round towers in ...

From the HACA site: <I>Given the tragic events of the past week, I think no one today can again argue that martial arts or dagger fighting skills are irrelevant in the "modern" age of firearms and push button war.

It's probably the right size, height-wise, but I'd have two problems with it. Each horse, of course, would be a little different, but it obviously has been bred for driving, and I'd wager it would have a rough canter. You'd have to determine that on an individual basis though. My other problem, and ...

The books on Border Reiver's I have/am reading state that the Jaks were of white leather. That to me sounds like I could use brain tanned deer hide (Native North American) and be very close to the original. You might want to double-check, but English red deer I believe are closer to American elk, a...

Good job, Sarnac! The breed originated in the Dutch Netherlands in the early 16th Century. It takes its name from Friesland, a Dutch province bordering the North Sea, long known for its open pastures and wealth of horse breeding. Because of the wars of this time the native Friesian came under the in...

Yes, I agree with Samuel-AB Hammer. (Alan also made Patty's, Wayne's and Tom's Burgundian armour, along with mine.) Victor in our group has one of his chamfrons, the Horsepark has one and the lady with the Spanish-Normans has one. You might be able to get a fitting at Gulf Wars. ------------------ V...

I have a 3/4" shaft and wheels with 1" holes as well. I've got metal inserts that adapt to 3/4", but if you lean into it a bit much, it throws it off-center. I got all of those from MSC. I also bought some cotton wheels with leather centers, but no hole drilled. I use a wood-working "spade" bit to d...
