I was told that the minamum bar size was a bit bigger then the 1/4 and that spacing was inch. bun now im off to the sca.org to check wow the new format made that quick. spacing must provent a one inch dowle from entering. 16 guage is good for the top. but spun domes must be 14 guage. 3/16 bar stock ...

I find that glazed bake ware workes well usualy found at the local thrift store.
how well would glass eachant work? I have never tried it on metal but it's supper easy for glass.

not bad. not great but not bad.
although I must say I like tha ball cap.
I bet the models sell more armour then the armour itself.

also don't try this in side. out on the grill works well but not in the house. spilling molten lead bad.
so says the voice of experiance.

a good multigas regulator will cost about 75-100 new you can find smaller ones that will just measure flowrate for co2. MIG FCAW are some of the fastes depostion rates for home use. TIG is what they use for nuclear power plants. its easy to trubble shoot and gives you a bit more controle of the molt...

works a lot like an axe but you don't have to worry about hitting with a side. and you don't have a hook wot work with. now what style of mace are you planning to make? flanged mace works well as does a padded mace made with rolled rubber from the mud flap off a mac truck. mud flaps off a mac truck ...

the rising shot can be mean the jump shot can also hurt you it brings things up to a more open target area. but it shocks the hell out of many fighters when there opponent jumps up and adds another foot it opens a lot of shots to the head and back if you can get the snap right.

work on group drills also. sticking together a few newbeys can take out one more advanced fighter. just buy playing the range game and stickign together about 6-10 inches between shield men with the pole standing just one-two steps behind. with the apponent trying to circle or flank. group or unit s...

Face thrusts vary by kingdom, but I think they should be solid blows. After all, a light touch to the face won't kill you, all it would do is pump up your adrenilin; you probably wouldn't even feel it until after the fight. Wasn't it one of St. Louis' knights, Ranulf, maybe? who continued fighting a...

steel I like steel. I need better gear but I'm straped for cash. but learning more in welding.

it all depends on what your going to use it for. for decoration or moderate use it will work fine. for combat use somthing else. if your working it cold expect to spend a lot of time. with working it hot tempering it is a bit different then mild steel. check out keenjunk.com for more information. sw...

one of the most versitile methods for mounting a shear is to go to the scrap yard and get a piece of I beam cut of the bottom piece so its more of a T drill out holes for mounting and through it in the vice.

does this mean you are going to start trading a selling stakes to the archive populace?

you can also use the spaced pipes to start creases if you use heavey pipe.

you can also trough in a desacant bag. i.e. the little baggies of sillaca gell that come with the new sneekers. this will help keep the humidity lower. just rember to through them in the oven every so often to dry them out. around six or so works well in a medium armour bag. depending on the size of...

now all you need is to make a battlebot that sprouts spikes as weapons.

trade it to some one that wants a wall hanger or a mantal decoration.
or better yeat use it as a model when you make one that will fit right. it sounds like you will put in just as much time and effort in to rebuilding that one as it would take to construct one your self.

runing a chainmail strip around it. curently working on one with a dubble weave in 3/8 rings. very stiff. also you can do the same thing with leather if you can find it thick enuff. ran accrost some at pennsic that was over quarter inch thick.

what kind of work are you planing to do?
heavey work gloves wear differentley then others tig gloves work very well for most things they are light and very abrastion and heat resistant. but do not protect as much from heat as many heavey gloves.

go for the mig.
gas is not very expencive for co2 but argon and the rest adds up in a hurry.
a large bottle of co2 should last about a month if you weld 5 hours a day every day.
curentley Im paying about 1.20 a pound for mig wire and around 4 for flux core.

you may want to check the current rules but I bleave you can make what is called a punch buckler. a small buckler straped to your forarm with a piece of ratan pipe clamped to the face of the shield used only as a thrusting weapon. at least thats my understanding. your millage may vary depending on k...

I rember some one sugesting the use of high presure gas caps off of oxigen bottles as mushroom stakes. has any one tried this. would filling it with brass or aluminum make them more resistant to denting?

i think that real armour on the field brings more real armour on the field. if 75 percent of the fighters wear steel in stead of plastic. that would make the other 25 percent want steel. steel may be heaver but it moves better and gives you a large advantage when it comes to meeting the ladys. but s...
