Gwen will you have any uber inseam hose at Pennsic? I have a 36" inseam, would that have to be a custom order?

Thaddeus

I'll add a heart 'Knuut Rock's!' to the list off happy customers.

I have a shirt and two aventails from him. All are excellent.

Thaddeus

I will be there - Todd from Twin Towers Armoury is planning on making it too. I will see if I can drag HRM Kelson to it as he is getting back into armouring full time and doing some really nice pieces.

Thaddeus

Robert it is a Fourth Castle wedge rivetted shirt. One of the first ones he sold iirc.

Thaddeus

Man Bill that sucks. I wish you were a few inches taller. The only thing there I know will fit are the greaves. I would scrape together the money if I could fit the harness. Talk to Klaus - maybe Zil is looking for a good wedding present for him.

Thaddeus

Mine from Roderick has a nice 1.5" or so curve, it's very nearely flat.

Thaddeus

You might try William Hurt, he had a very nice looking one recently seems to be gone now but he might be able to run one out in time. http://www.ageofarmour.com/ . I would also recommend Adam of course, I dont know what he is up to recently but for a while there he always had a couple of sugarloafs ...

Thaddeus

Konall do you still have those pics of your new acquisition? They seem to have died on the other thread, I'd like to start lobbying my lady wife for next years camping set up since our little wall tent will not be big enough for us anymore.

Thaddeus

Jean Paul and Josh, thank you both for the compliments.

And here I am, what might I do for you?

Thaddeus

Alan, beautiful work.
My one comment would be that the nickle plated frame buckles are glaringly out of place on such nice work. But that is a small nit to pick.

Thaddeus

Gentlemen I must apologize in advance... Bill. Linux RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now instead of a long and detailed refutation of my obviously correct assertion, why dont you get your armour and come out to the park in Keene on Sunday for some practice and we can discuss it over a length of rattan like two...

Thaddeus

Along the lines of Ron's advice.
Avoid the first blow, your average fighter loses twenty percent of their speed if they miss their first shot. Learn how to, or practice evaiding his attack.
Also hit him in the legs.

Vitus if you want it I can transport it to Pennsic, and connect with the courier of your choice.
I have seen this tent and fly up once, very nicely done on Marla's part.

Peder what is the souce of this illustration?

Thaddeus

D. mine is a Pennthar bow, I must say that I am very happy with it.

As I said on Honorblade the pull is heavy, but Erika can manage it. I think a shorter string would reduce the draw weight even further.

What are you getting instead?

Thaddeus

The original vest shown on the ring lords site was built using comercial fishing lure spinners. At least thats my memory of the discussion when it was first shown here. Pretty cool stuff.

Thaddeus

D. should be legal under the javelin rules., don't know if there is a minimum length.

Insane, plumbata are lead weighted darts that were used by late roman infantry. Think insanely proportioned lawn dart.

Love that plumata made from spinners.

Thaddeus

Saint-Sever Pics of your progress when you are happy with it please. I seek further inspiration. I am also working on a early 13th century harness. The foundation of which is a helmet made largely from pieces provided me by Zweihammer. Lamentably I have not welded said pieces together yet, and have ...

Thaddeus

Sir Erasmus' hands were in pretty bad shape the rest of the war, although I gather that they often give him trouble. Regardless he was always jovial, despite the heat and humidity, which may not have been much by Ansteorran standards, but for this northerner it was oppressive. It was a pleasure to s...

Thaddeus

I am with Stonemarche this year, but I can meet people at the Marauders as it is pretty central. Of course if we get the block re assignement we are hoping for we will be pretty central too.

Either way, or even a dual pronged attack.

Thaddeus

Well if Master John can't do it I will be available.
A tape and some paper wont add overly much to my packing.

Thaddeus

Coopt Master John.
Fittings at McGuires, line forms to the left, don't mind Britt she's mostly harmless.

Thaddeus

Klaus, beautiful work as always, and Gwen is right you are way under valued. Look at my arming coat, that was 350, the detail and quality of yours is another order of magnitude above that. Not saying dont sell them at your current price, but consider a way to cut down on the labour involved and make...

Thaddeus

I've been playing with it some. Managed to frustrate the heck out of a friend of mine who is a pretty decent swordsman. He couldnt understand how come he was unable to kill me once I was legged and had only my longsword. His eyes got real big when I levered his shield open. Would have been spectacul...

Thaddeus

Ah well.
My feet are 12 inches, I really ought to have a full last anyway. Back to carving.

Thaddeus

Well of course you can act while wearing a helm. But the lighting director gts all funny about strange shadows across the face. And the director throws a fit because he is having a hard toime framing the shot and getting your performance shown clearly. And let us not forget the actors who are having...

Thaddeus

I could use a size 13 and a size 8m if you have them.
