I need a mailing address for the money order. Is USPS certified okay?

Ivar:

What is the length of these blanks? I want to get a pair for rattan sword scabbards, if they're long enough.

Templar Bob/De Tyre

Yup--that's what it says...

Thanks for the compliments, all. Regarding the falchion made by Hot Black, we did some cutting tests with it when it first came to us. We did the test on an old cottonwood stump in the park we'd hold fighting practice in. I should post those pictures....the falchion has a dull edge like an axe, and ...

...or perhaps it's the flash from the camera reflected off of the Inter-Ocular-Lens in my left eye. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/biggrin.gif I intend to make yet another falchion with a smoother looking profile. Consequently, it'll speed the weapon up considerably without hurting the striking po...

Warclub_33 (and anyone else interested) : On a previous thread regarding rattan maces, Warclub asked me to show some pictures of my rattan falchion. My personal favorite is based on the Conyers Falchion from Durham Cathedral. Here are a few provided photos of my interpretation: http://home.armourar...

Per your request, one of my rattan falchions in another thread on this forum.

I can give you $200.00 on Friday the 25th, if you're in Indy. The remainder I can get you on May 9th. The important thing is getting you into a marquee here.

Folks--

I sent an e-mail yesterday regarding your waiting list. Please contact me at your earliest convienience.

Templar Bob/De Tyre

Warclub_33:

Yeah, I can do that...My falchion has a Otter's Den "Brazil-Nut" pommel and straight crosshilt in bronze. I will post it either tonight or sometime tomorrow.

De Grace: I wonder...do they make Siloflex big enough to line a leather scabbard with? It certainly bears considering... As for rattan-cored Siloflex swords, I'm probably going to make one, modelled after one that Sir Marcus von Westphal uses. He has one of my scabbards, but it's difficult for him ...

Warclub_33: I have a very simple rule for SCA-style rattan weapons--they should look like the real item as much as is humanly possible, or within Kingdom and Society rules. Also, it should handle as close to the real article as you can make it. My swords balance about the same as my "St. Maurice" D...

Gundo has such a pattern on the Archive Construction Page.

I was planning on posting a tutorial...but until home@armourarchive.org gets repaired, I can't do the pictures. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/frown.gif What I do is get a fairly straight piece of rattan (bark on) from BaronEirik (a. k. a., Eirik Dweorgax). I cut my rattan to the desired length (s...

Templar Bob/De Tyre

The Maciejowski falchion you did looks fun. How does it handle? I'm also wondering what type of mounts you plan for it (pommel and crosshilt)?

Templar Bob/De Tyre

That stuff would be perfect for some of the Pennsic Historic Combat Series Passage of Arms.

Lord William Avery: I'm pleased you're happy with it. Things I'd do to improve it: ⋅ Acquire a dye from Tandy that makes a lighter blue, more in keeping with your heralding colors. The Fiebing'sÂ® brand leather dye is a bit too dark a blue for what I wanted. ⋅ Put the bras...

Please e-mail me at home regarding some repousse' work on spaulders. I already have the spaulders--just need the work done.

Templar Bob/De Tyre

It depends on when your crusader lived.

"Heater" style shields had a distinctive curve to them. You'll want to get pictures of effigies, or get Dr. David Nicolle's "Arms and Armour of the Crusading Era". There are many good line drawings included that should answer any questions you may have.

Steve:

I'm assuming that's the new "pot helm" you commissioned. Does it have a padded cloth liner in it? You ought to take pictures of the inside of your kit---it's pretty nice looking.

Templar Bob/De Tyre

Conrad:

Pretty slick-looking...I'm surprised you didn't attempt to do the entire griffin. I think you may have been able to fudge a bit more, and not need to do as much planishing. It's gorgeous, though.

There are some distinctions that need to be made here. ⋅ The SCA (or any LH/Re-Enactment/LARP) is a hobby . The rules we have to follow in real life are applicable here as well. ⋅ One's oath in these situations is an extention of one's commitment to one's friendships. The ob...
