Pm's abounding with contact info etc on a suit I know is up for grabs. IF you need me to press him to get back to ya let me know.

Angusm0628

Well his website he's not accepting commissions at this time. But I sent him an email asking about the possibility of getting a liner from him. I'll wait and see if he responds...

Angusm0628

hehehe, you da man. Thanks gonna send Jiri an inquiry on this....Thanks

Angusm0628

Yeah, I got a used armour and castings houndskull with interchangeable bargrill. Had an inquiry sent to them about getting a liner but no response from them.

Angusm0628

Bump just hoping someone sees this and can help

Angusm0628

Someone here on the archive stated that these guys were in the process of cutting down/shutting off the one of orders and looking to with distributors instead. Not sure if it took effect yet or is true.

I believe Lord Elias was awarded one of the wooden chests by Duke Gregor. Lord Elias had issued a challenge at the barrier, he wished to cross blades with another Grandsire such as himself. There was another present who could accept his challenge I lose track of the other gifts distributed. I would...

I'm trying to locate a helm liner and or suspension harness for an oniontop Houndskull bascinet. I would prefer a helm liner as the helm already has the holes drilled to sew this into.
Any recomendations?

Angusm0628

I'm practicing as much as 3 nights a week. My cuisses are 14-16 oz leather with 1/8" foam and 2 layers of canvas, and the back of my leading leg looks like purple hamburger. Any suggestions for rigid protection? Do moto-cross thighs work? I've tried steel legs and do not like that much weight ...

If you want cheap...Hjalmer on the archive ... m Ya beat me to it... I just recieved the klapvisor from Hjalmr at $80 it's a decent starter helm. Some elbow grease required to clean up the metal and then some blueing to finish it out. You will get hammer marks left in the helm but the welds are stu...

Angusm0628

Well just got Hjalmr's $80 Klapvisor. Transaction was painless and it arrived in good time. Quality is also what was described. Unpolished, and needing some planishing if so inclined. All in all not a bad helmet for the money spent. The buyer will be getting it soon and then he and I will brainstorm...

To me it looks like the sculptor was trying to portray padded cuisses.

Angusm0628

smaller fans look much better. But I prefer fanless myself.

Angusm0628

Spears do not act in the SCA as they would in real life. A 3" diameter padded blob does not bite and penetrate like a real spear point. And, it is harder to get enough force into a one handed thrust that will be accepted in SCA combat. -Graedwyn Sir, If we went to low-pro spear-tips, do you th...

I need a helm liner to fit an armour and castings oniontop houndskull.
Tried padding it but can't get the fit right with foam and figured I try here.

Angusm0628

Well If I didn't have the two pair I have now.. We'd talk. As it is all I can do is pimp em out on the household list.. Granted, I'm doing it for purely selfish reasons (I want all the hockey gloves off our line)...

Angusm0628

I got a bit to wait for my stepson to stand in the lines next to me. 5 years and counting. He has never really shown an interest in fighting til this year. So I'm getting him squared away for the boffer program then will be turning him loose on the world. Hopefully he sticks to it and Come Pennsic 2...

Angusm0628

Where are you?? Depending on your location you may be close enough to someone here on the archive that can offer first hand help as well. Or at least be able to direct you to someone who can.. As for the female protection, my lady fights in a panty like design which has a hard foam insert. I think s...

Angusm0628

If I knew the bills were gonna be paid and leave me the headway to get that. I'd snatch it in a heartbeat... As it is I'd need a few weeks to round up the money. Damn responsibilities and all..

Angusm0628

Icefalcon... has the stainless Sallet in his line of stuff.

Angusm0628

Just perused their site. Their riveted chainmail is wayyyy overpriced. I can get the stainless version of what they are offering for less from Icefalcon.

Angusm0628

Well, if you want a dewalt testimonial. I'm in the construction and remodeling business. If you open my van you will see black and yellow plastic tool cases that each say "dewalt" no other brands.. Now having said that, I cannot give any review on the shears themselves as I don't own them.

Angusm0628

That looks almost like an icefalcon sallet to me but the breathes look different.

Angusm0628

Icefalcon would be my first pick

Here's a few effigies showing splinted limbs.

Angusm0628

posted these on the household website. Bunch of guys been squalling bout finding gauntlets.. Figured might help both of ya out..

Angusm0628

Total and utter crap I say. In this case, those elbows would be best served being consumed by a rather large canine as a chew toy. To save you the hassle of finding such a beast I offer the services of my own. Send them to me post haste I will make sure they are given the proper disposal they deserv...

Why not contact Magnus of Dark Wyvern, Draven or Kilkenny? All three seem to do some outstanding leatherwork. I'm sure one of them could come up with what yer lookin for.

Angusm0628

Dierdre's son offered me as much oak lumber as I could haul away for nothing. His work uses it as spacers and just pitches it. Dougal will be at St. Joseph's as will I.. I'm sure he'd extend the offer to you on my word.

Angusm0628

Hey Maeryk... If you talk nicely to me I can tell you how to get hold of lots of free oak lumber.. Yes I said free and it's fairly close to you...

Angusm0628

Decent saw for a do it yerselfer. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for someone who does extensive carpentry though. The blade seems to have too much wobble for my taste.

Angusm0628

Gavin Tired, Old, Fat, Slow, Stiff and Sore. Uhh.. yeah. Right. You manage to put away drinks fast enough when I'm buyin... Huh ? I don't recall...... You going to be at the Tournament of St. Joseph ? I might even manage to buy a round or two Gavin This in itself could make the trip to the St. Jose...

Angusm0628

Check your pm's... I may have an "outlet" fer yer stuff..
