The Armour Archive

Stephen

m This Is Padrig from the Archives site. I think he has stopped doing armour on a big scale but might be doing a project here and there. He has a variety of bucklers styles and I own several shields of his and they are awesome! Go to the site and click the past projects to see alot of his shields. H...

That is an offer from a gentlemen merchant if I ever heard one!

Chivalry lives at mandrake!

Is this the show that had a series of days where they were Vikings and Romans and Knights? They had teams from the UK and from the USA.
If so I think I have that one taped. I will look for it.

We seemed to have missed this but I wouold venture to say it will be on again and wit ha bit of looking Im sure one of us can find it.

I figured with all the interest in tilting on this board of late I would post this. that and one of the articles mentions the SCA.

Stephen

If I remember Glen K posted a very good link to a site on lances and thier consrtuction aligning to time periods? I think he might be the one to ask on this. I will search for it to see if I can find it as well. Lances were varies lengths in time perods and countries so it is difficult to answer. I ...

3/4 in plywood with a thick sheet of leather over the front and tacked down over the edges on the backside. Glue it down as well. Drill holes straight thru the wood and leather for strapping by cord method or just thru the back for other strapping. You can even paint the leather with your arms. Look...

Nothing like the look of a jouster getting up on all fours and seeing a crapload of sand pouring out of his helm ocular !!

Stephen

It was very period to have a squire at the end of the tilt rail to recieve the horse ask if everything is still "in place" and lead your steed around to the next pass while you get your reins back. this is all done relativly quickly. Sorta like the Medieval "pit stop" Logan- I would suggest makeing ...

Jeffrey Hedgecock
is the USA IJA "man in the know" I am sure he would not mind directing you to teh right place to see the armour req. He can also make the kit for you. This way there would be no worries about it not passing

As well as being a very sharp looking, well functioning kit to boot.

Stephen

I think the "holding onto the reins" thing is a product of tilting with an untrained horse as well as a person who is not confident enough. I got to the point of dropping my reins fairly soon but one of the horses I was using did not like to stop at the end of the list. that is even with a counterli...

Stephen

What they said! (welshywelsh & Lloyd) There are not many jousters out there that try to hurt one another. there used to be alot a few years ago but some of them have changed thier way and some have just plain dropped from sight. There is a whole bunch of really nice grown men doing this sport nowada...

Stephen

Done, Thanks

Stephen

Morgan- I in no means meant to exclude the Archivers. I have a fair amount of pics of different shield types and how they are strapped from current jousters around the world as well as a vamplate design and another shield design. I have no way of putting pics up than to upload them onto a little fre...

Karl- The head on that warhammer is pretty cool! I would think they could make those into jousting lance coronels as well. Might want to consider that for people wanting period lances to display or use.

Stephen

One of my kits. 16 and 14 G stainless. Made by John "shark" Perry.

Found this on another board- 1,600-acre farm three miles north of Mona. Owner Gary Young and Thompson have stocked the place with oodles of oddities and have plans for more. For starters, there's the exotic zoo where no-name resides with Goliath horses, pygmy ponies and "zedonks," a mix between zebr...

From the vid and from talking to peeps out there it looks like teh vamplates are not really designed to do anything really with that kind of impact happening. They do not seem to be using any kind of lance rest either. They really need to address that problem Otto your right. I have a prototype Vamp...

Stephen

My email is TheWarlord@cfl.rr.com as well as TheNorman@hotmail.com I check the first one very often and the hotmail not too much. I am sorry for any problem. I emailled you about the shipping and total. Thanks

Stephen

I would buy this video in a heartbeat! Even if it was anounced by donald duck and had the ( dare I say it ) Ladyhawke soundtrack I figure it this way, when are we going to see this kind of hard hitting jousting action with jousters from all over the world again? I really hope this thing turns the co...

I will give James the Lion till the end of today to email me like he said he would. In case he has to wait till he gets home from work this evening to email me about it. Rob Mayo (Archiver) emailled me at 3:01 pm and Ysende your email came in at 3:19 pm . I will offer the helm in order of when they ...

What I have is a 16 G mild bascinet with a globose side hinged visor. It has a chin strap as well. Here is the catch folks. It is made for either a child or someone doing LARP. It is very short on a adult. When I wear it on my head my whole chin is exposed. It will fit up to a 23" head. It comes wit...

Stephen

Llyod and Rod- If a older short crazy lady comes up to you at the Lakewood Faire to say hello, please be nice to her. It me mum! (she is not really crazy dont worry) She lives two towns over and goes to that faire every year with a few of her friends. I used to do the faire scene both tilting and gr...

Ive owned a pair of Waldryks and I will say that all he makes is very nice but I think the pauldrons are a bit small. they feel more like large spaulders.

Stephen

I just emailled you to your AOL account with a few pics of what I am looking to have done. Thanks.

Stephen

Armet do not allow for alot of padding and are pretty form fitting. The SCA community hits fairly hard as a rule. I would say 12G is just right. Plus there might be a jouster out there who likes what he sees and they really need the 12 G!

Stephen

The only problem is that it is 16 Butted. A few good wacks with steel or rattan and it has holes and rips in it. 16 G butted is just a pain in the neck and fingers to repair on a constant basis.

Stephen

I knew I shoulda bid $1250.00 !

Stephen

$12.50 here! Why this amount? I have no clue, just the first number that popped into my head. Or did I mean $1250.00? I am pretty sure I meant $12.50

Stephen

On the guantlets- If this suit was made to be sometimes used for the tilt the right gauntlet could be made as a type of manifer. If it is just a varied view you might want to consider making a manifer gaunt to go along with this suit.

Stephen

Take a lamp kit from a craft store and some colored gels like in stage lighting cans and make a really cool funky lamp and put it back on ebay for 4 times what you paid for it. Market it to yuppie drones who will think its hip. I saw this on Trading spaces and it looked cool and the people had no cl...

Stephen

Steve -SoFC- - I also had kearadesigns make a gambeson and a few surcoats for me. very nice dealings as well. Its a shame the good ones go awayto sometimes.
