I'll make you one. Send me some dimensions. Does it need a pommel?

Nissan Maxima

I'll take the gorget. PM me an address where I can send a check.

A straight cross guard that won't break? What does such a thing need to look like? I may be able to render assistance.

I suppose that I will have to add the Tuchux Charity Tourney to the dance card this year, but it is far too short to cover what I want to do. I have never fought it before. How different are the rules? f Multiple bearpits. Ususlly 4 to keep it moving fast. Pile of weapons in the middle. When you ar...

Seven hours in armour today. Footwork drills with Duke Paul and dagger work with Sir Kaydian. Have I ever mentioned that Northshield is cool? I found SCA people to fight daggers with there. And the place is practically made out of bacon. I am now plotting to help the Kingdom of Northshield take over...

Lets see, what have I done? The same thing I do every day, plot to take over the world. Specifically lift weights. fight a lot. and tomorrow mellee event and train with Duke Paul. Work on my kit. Cant wait to show you the shank I am making for you, Mongrel. It is all tuchucky. It is a little hard ar...

What makes them work so well is both design and execution. Design. The fingers are attached to a rider plate that articulates off the sides of the main body of the hand. This allows the hand and fingers to move in their normal relationship. The outside two fingers articulate at the second knuckle li...

I have recieved several requests for pictures of my Finger gauntlets. These were made by John Gruber. They are used with vambraces that nest into the leather cuff.

Every day I don't fight, I lift weights. Today, for you, I did both. Also ran in 70 pounds of armour before practice. Which is actually stupid, and not great for my old knees. It is good for wind, but I am gonna have to think about not doing it on concrete. This upcoming weekend, training with Paul ...

As a digression, although the flint edged weapons may have been ineffective there are extent samples of Samoan war clubs that would have been effective against our presumed armour standard. The attached picture is a approxamately 10 pound club fabricated fron lignum vitaea. Without special cooling, ...

Bring one to the event next weekend. I'll buy it.

I fought Roisin yesterday three sets. We were at a practice with 34 fighters and a dozen knights. She does not seem to stop or tire. Ever.

I'll steal a line from Murdock. "Prettiest girl to ever beat me up."

Nissan Maxima

$ 1K/ John Gruber. made to order with about a dozen fittings. They fit like gloves, they have a rider plate. The pointer and pinky are articulated like teeny tiny little articulated knees, and the outside touches rattan.

In the SCA, the penalty for getting hit in the leg is that you have to simulate oral sex on our opponent.

Nope. I get hit in the leg I'm dead.

Death before dicksucking!

Hail Mongrel Slimedog, Didn't mean to be rude. I like your challenge and I've got a knife. I'm there. Lets do it at the charity tournament. That way if you kick me in the head, no one is likely to whine. I make pretty cool shit so I'll make a cool Tuchuk dagger. Because I like your challenge, you ca...

Nissan Maxima

I had my last puff of *anything* February 2008. I kicked that shit's ass, like it was Frieman. I put on some weight after that which I have been hacking back off with a low carb diet, fighting and liberal application of dumbells. This Sunday I will be at practice with the middle king, prince and a b...

The tourney will be happening this year. VDK as a house is going to be sponsering another tourney at Pennsic as well. What this means is that we might be stretched a little thin. In order to make sure this goes off, we will be asking for help in the form of marshalls, etc. No decision has been made...

Nissan Maxima

Hey Frieman, no trash talk here but actual training talk. One of the practices I go to every week is in a highschool gym with a track. I end practice every week with a run around the 6th mile track in armour (70 lbs.) with weapons (6lbs). Then immediatly fight my last fights of the night. Its not re...

Wikipedia can be your friend. Rattan (from the Malay rotan), is the name for the roughly six hundred species of palms in the tribe Calameae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia. Most rattans are distinct from other palms in having slender stems 2â€“5 cm diameter with long inte...

Nobody else has publicly committed here, and I feel really bad about that. When I am succeeding, you can watch from the sidelines. I am sorry you misinterpreted the content of my replies as a lack of commitment. Therefore I will attempt greater clarity: I will crush you. I am not starting to get re...

Mercenaries just seem to hate music. Yep you definitely hate music m That was very painful. Gods, Nissan! I sure am glad Cloven shield fights better than they play music. LOL They do a passable version of the fight music from the star trek episode where kirk and spock fight with polarms. Da da da d...

make me an armor stand. Figure out something for sabatons and greaves.

Hell, quote me two.

Hey Rowan, grown ups are talking here. Evidently drunk grown ups.

Frieman, I told you what it will take for you to best me. But you have shown in the past that you can't do it. If I was a betting man,(and I am) I would not bet on you.

Face it, You are not a specimen of a fighting breed.

Nissan Maxima

It was good for me.

Hey Bard Boy, Hows that quitting smoking thing going? I am a fat old man, but if you don't quit I will still crush you. How bad do YOU want it? With, as they say, all due respect, NM Wow, that piped him down. Apparently he was "shocked, then surprised, then dominated, then hurt , and then humi...
