Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

ok thanks marc. i'm on the waiting list for the next set of brig nails.

i jsut had major fear of setting the rivits and turning over the brig and finding out i totally screwed the material hehe

Wolf

biteing toungue!!!!!!!!!!! very nice look dude

Wolf

Marc,

how do you set the rivit and not get the material dirty or messed up? also, are you using special rivits (design on teh heads?) if so, how do you peen them so the rivit head doesnt mess up

Wolf

DUH thanks adam. i got it down to 1/16 of an inch on the square. figured it was close enough. by the time i trace and cut i'll have made up the 1/16

Wolf

m ok printed out 1 of the patterns. the 1 inch square comes out more like 7/8 x 7/8 squares. tried to put all 0's in the margin, but it kept putting a small margin in place. HELP? also tried to skew/strech but couldnt find all 4 numbers needed (2 for stretch and 2 for skew) that would make it come o...

Wolf

Wolf

Ow! Damn clue by fours. Well I feel a bit like Homer Simpson. Yeah but waht about the shoulders? Should you still point them through the mail? Shoulder plate pieces - Spaulders and pauldrons, often ought point very close to the base of the neck. Either point through maile there or don't. It depends...

Wolf

Wolf

Dunno if you are planning other functions along those lines, but you may want to consider having a butler's table from whence to serve beverages (and decant the wine, etc., if you plan to do that); the butler's table tends to be a bit higher (with smaller surface area) than the rest of the tables, ...

Replying to a couple of postings all at once ... My guess is Mother Reflex. Most of us never would have noticed that kid unless pointed to him. Well, I'm not anyone's mother (as far as I know ... and if I am somebody's mother, well, it certainly comes as news to me) I'd thought for a moment that pe...

Most of the clothes was made by ourselves, James either had a big hand in or made a great deal of it for the guys. There is the occassional HE outfit thrown in amongst the mix that really has helped us along as well. Kass, Kim, and Charlotte made all of their own stuff. hey my mommy sewed my double...

Your comment about the red colour being caused by the bacteria gave me visions of meat teeming with such numbers that the very microbes themselves gave the meat the colour. I've always wondered what the reason is for hanging game meat for a period prior to eating it, as is done even today be hunter...

the Kuse is a nasty looking weapon, so is the bec de corbin

Wolf

yes and no

in the wallace collection, plate 1 there is a mail cap and shirt from the 15th cent. says its german. although i believe this is the first half of the 15th cent.

15th cent would normally have mail voiders and skirts under armour... full hauberks/byrnies what have you for 14th cent

we grapple? you body slammed Ruel and then laid on him you ogre!! i'z got killed cause i was the onlyone dumb enough to go up against the fully armoured Squre Jim
