Re: FS: Red/White Midwest 12' Circle Pavilion

'Eh? Well, in the title and the description on the Midwest site, it's called 12' diameter. I think the 16 ropes are supposed to stretch out a few yards further.

Okie dokey, folks. It looks like Phileppe is ready to pay for the braies and chausses. Cailen, my apologies, but in order to keep things simple and moving along I'm going to give Brucer the opportunity for the belt.

Re: Looking for a Blacksmith to make custom armor

To actually made the suit to its original proportions it would probably have to be set away from the body in many places (unless if the wearer were built like Schwarzenegger).

I'd maybe start a thread asking about those, Matt.
