Thanks for the help all!

Don't wear them at the same time... Otherwise you're doomed..

If possible, which given your location in northern AEthelmearc should be easier than most, talk to Master John the Pell. I've always felt he had a phenomenal grasp of sca melee tactics. I'll second this one, John probably forgot less about melee than most folks know. After you get done with him tra...

my device came as a result of a bad joke over one of my earlier suits of armor.. It was nicknamed Puffy the Hedgehog. Originally it was tied scales but when I took a deep breath the scales would stand on end resembling the spines of a hedgehog. Thus the rampant Urchin was born..

and is their any requirement in joing a house (guild)? The methods of joining households vary. One household may have a waiting period to check you out while another says "grab a chair you're in". I'd recommend you take the first year or better and get your legs under you first. Then afte...

Not trying to stir anything, I'm just confused. Who is trying to take the throne by paper? Is someone from the BoD planning a takeover? Did someone narc Lutr to the BoD? Like I said, I'm really not trying to be trouble, I'm just not understanding. Christopher Lutr won crown during the course of rea...

Methinks, I need to speak to my financial guru as well. I am however patient and will wait for Grimolfr's yea or nay from his...

My questions were usually. Have you read the rules of the list? What are legal targets? How much force do you use with a face thrust? How much force for thrusts to other parts of the body? Are cup shots legal? Those were my standards for authorizing fighters.

I was seduced by my 18 volt cordless dewalt kit I've replaced every power tool I use to Dewalt. I've beaten those things to the point of stupid and every time I hit the switch they say "Yep boss I can do that".. These tools are literally my bread and butter so they better be able to turn a...

Angusm0628

Ditto what they've said before.

Angusm0628

Yeah, There have been issues as of late 1) Big order that took longer than expected due to design issues (New pattern design never used by them) 2) Mail issues. Several packages were held up at the customs transfer and no notification they were being held til well after the fact. 3) Aside from those...

Angusm0628

I gotz a beater I can let go for $50 plus shipping. ugly welds and such. Welds are on the outside of the grill work. If someone were to give it some tlc should be okay.. It's a bascinet

First off, Armor works. That's why we wear it. IF you are hitting too hard, your buddies will let you know. Much like they are letting you know you hit too soft. Trust your armor and the armor of those you are fighting. This will help I suspect Secondly, although this may fall into the first one......

Actually I do 14th century SCA.. So the helm is not compatable with what I wanted to do. I had gotten it in mind for my stepson who's gourd is way small for it.. I also however has a deal pending right now now for a youth Helm but there is a second buyer after me. So I can most likely back off that....

Angusm0628

okay...I'll hold off

Angusm0628

Was gonna say the same thing.

Angusm0628

Before you go cash diving again (although you seem more than happy to do so ) I would suggest a set of padded cuisses from either Therion at Therion arms or from Stephen, can't remember his website off the top of my head, see how they work for you. It's a minimal expense and if you don't like it you...

Soliel used it for jousting. I had bought it with youth combat in mind for my stepson but it's way big on his frame and noggin. Inside circumference is about 27" at the brow (my head and layer of foam fit it). I'd keep it but that would mean a new rig to go with the helm and the wife won't let ...

[ So for leg/knee armor you have... - Crash Pads - Knee Pads? - Attached Knee Cops? Etc.? (what exactly? heh) - Fighting Pants It all works nice? Any complaints? Just a suggestion here, after you have your crash pads for your knees why not hardened Leather shovel greaves with an integral knee??
