Wulfgar

Hi guys,

A friend of mine purchased some in-stock items from them recently. They came pretty much on time and were solid.

Their gambesons were pretty thick, they are almost armour by themselves.

Wulfgar

We're in Tas so shipping may be a bit more expensive. He'll let you know if its what he's after.

Cheers,

Wulfgar

I have passed this on to a friend that may be interested.

Cheers.

Hi Clang,

I can ask around at training as well. Do you know how big a head it will fit?

Wulfgar

I got my helmet, new, made to order, for 450 australian dollars. that works out just under 400 us. Shipping wouldnt add to much on, but would take some time. it is the "sca helm" on this page http://web.mac.com/austinforge/iWeb/Austin%20Forge/Armour.html I recommend him, he is doing most ...

Wulfgar

Second dibs on helm depending on price.

Wulfgar

Some very nice weapons shown on this thread. Some of them look very realistic and that rocks. I guess these are my best sca weapons as these are the only ones I have made thus far. Knocked the basket hilt and them up this week. Need to attach the thrusting tips. Next on the list is a cross hilted s...

Wulfgar

So can you give us less knowledgeable a quick rundown on how you go about making a set of spurs? are they just cut to shape from a peice of sheet and then having the stud welded on or are they beaten out of a bar?

Wulfgar

Well if you start playing sca and use that kit you'd be very welcome at the combat of the thirty at Rowany festival over easter.

Wulfgar

I think (don't quote me though) that there was a coat of plates documented on a very late crusader. If I am correct Adam from White Mountain Armoury made a repro of it. I can't remember the name of the effigy though.

Wulfgar

Agree with Thomas, small jack will get it moving.

Wulfgar

Thomas and Robert are two of the best people around, Drachewald is lucky to have them.

Wulfgar

You are too kind your excellency

With regard to the rubber you used to be able to get something made from shredded old tires. I think it might have been developed for horse parks but its been a while since I saw anything on it. It might be something to look in to anyway.

Wulfgar

but they are absolutely gorgeous - a deep pastry, filled with chopped (not minced) pork, salted and peppered, and then cooked and filled with a gelatine jelly. very savoury indeed - cant beleive they're not more well-known. I had very tasty pork pie for lunch. They are my little taste of the UK in ...

Wulfgar

And Thomas is a man that has only been in the SCA for about 2 years. He has an outstanding kit, its very sexy in person even if he does get more bruises from the armour than his opponents

Tom doesn't have the helmet for that suit yet.

Wulfgar

I like sand mixed with gravel

Nice grass would be my preferred.

Wulfgar

Lord Kitan had left one of his shields from when he had lived there. Thomas and Robert did a wonderful job of painting it for me I did at least use it in the torchlight pas and for doing pick up fights

I was using the kite on orders from our unit commander

Wulfgar

I got to see this ring in person, it was truly beautiful. I probably didn't give Robert as much kudos as I should have when he showed it to me.

Wulfgar

Next time I go I will freight my armour over before hand. I would have loved to have had my nice kit there.

A fantastic event, I think everyone needs to do at least one event in a real castle.

Wulfgar

It was great to be back. I'd definately love to do Rhaglan again.

Wulfgar

Sir Gabrial in Lochac makes hardened leather shield gauntlets. Look on the chive page from the Lochac web site if your interested

Wulfgar

Looking good.

Wulfgar

Love Vitus's work. Eventually I want to get a scabbard for my viking war sword.

Yeah, never bake anything at 180 degree C, I had crispy spaulders

, it was a palm to forehead moment when I realised that the temp in the thread I read was fahrenheit

Wulfgar

Cool, thanks

Wulfgar

For those not able to head to Pennsic for a while (I live in Aus), does he have a website?

Wulfgar

So far we have

-You are allowed to call one good blow light during the tournament
-You may call one blow that your opponant thinks is light good on them
-Competition for the most humourus excuse for why a shot was legitimately not good.

What else could I do?

Wulfgar

I'd like to host a novelty tournament. I have been mulling over running an "unchivoulrus" tournament for a bit of fun and something different. I'd like some help in developing a rule set of unchivoulrus acts that someone could undertake in our game without detriment to safety. I have stole...

Wulfgar

Chris,

Do you sell the fittings and things that you make to the general public?

Wulfgar

So ON DECK means that if someone declines, you get dibs in that order?

Wulfgar

So are the buzubands still available and if so how much?

Wulfgar

Are the plyers only for wedge rivets or do you have sets for pin riveted as well?

Wulfgar

Cool, I could use a horn like that, might have to order one from you when i get back from my trip

Wulfgar

Greetings your grace, it would appear that my second PM did not make it through or there was not enough stock?

I had hoped to obtain 2 pairs of the unfinished shynbalds and 2 pairs of the unfinished vambraces.

I am also interested in the brown buzubands depending on the price.

Thanks.

Wulfgar

Fair enough. I've always seen CoP kits made from bloth get ripped out constantly. Is that not the case? That being said, I guess you could sew pockets in and take the plastic in and out as necessary. My current COP is fabric and has been in use for a year with only one small hole in the outter laye...

"unchivalric" novelty tournament rule set?
