Pin added to ligament connecting thumb to the rest of the hand. Commonly known as "skiers thumb".. The cause was a gauntlet with a fully pivoting thumb.. Mace from hell slid down the shaft of my polearm and pushed my thumb backwards enough to snap the ligament. That was Oct of 94 I still h...

I thought a waffenrock was supposed to go over the breastplate and not be an arming garment. My father has a book printed in 1583 by my great ole granddaddy. Inside the cover is a picture of him in his harness. His Waffenrock is indeed under the breastplate in the picture. If I can pry it away from...

I had considered using Von Sussen for a mail order but the reports from here kept me wary.. I decided I'm going with Icefalcon for two reasons.. One his rep and his quick responses to questions I sent him regarding what I'm looking to purchase... Two, I will see him more often and if I do have a pro...

Center of the state actually bout an hour east of State College. And yeah fighting can be brought into the mix..And the nasty Margarita Well we have this directly inverse relationship the drunker we get the more and more tequila gets added to the mix thus the quality goes down.

My lady just got done doing a pattern for just this purpose. IF she hasn't started sewing it. I'll get it transferred onto a paper pattern... But it's at the shop (which is not here at home). I'll be there one day this week. IF you're willing to wait.

Someone was selling them for one of their buddies. I think it may have been stonekeep but don't quote me.

I hand you a sharpie, scissors, utility knife and a beer, Hell I may even feed ya . March 8th is going ...

might work better if you gave a "No less than" price wise. Then folks can tell you if yer off base or in the ballpark

Angusm0628

No it doesn't work for you... But I mean we both know as you typed that up as soon as you hit "submit" yer fingertips were clicking

Angusm0628

No charge. Ever since I started getting on the guys that are wearing Smurf skin chic armor. The lament of "where do I find this stuff cheap" has been music to my ears.... So everytime I come up on something that matches what one of the guys are trying to do, I pass it on. My goal is to be ...

There is no indication of intent....

Fynn
I passed this off to the Confed list... If interested pops there either they or I will contact you.

Angusm0628

This will make for such interesting conversations at war, when/if/should any "kidnappings" occur...Instead of going to camps people will be checking the portas first Just so we're clear . I prefer you not go after her highness Branwyn.. I'd hate to have to lay pennance on ya fer making me...

Okay now for you folks that are re-hab qualified, practicing in the med field I have a question for you. My lady broke her ankle in about 3 places her first Pennsic. Since then she's done the "Lace the jungle boots tighter" routine but now after a couple days of running etc she's still bec...

Might wanna get after Animal, he made a pair of leather gaunts that look pretty good. He may have the pattern drifting round with him somewhere.

Ok, The question must be here asked, as the thread is quite ripe for it: How in heavens do you guys manage to afford all this???? how do you guys manage? Rowan of Needwood I'm doing it stealth mode ie one step at a time. My kit was early 14th century but my body rig was not quite right.. SO I had m...

Asking if we want pics? That's like asking if we enjoy breathing..

Youtube, just post Pennsic or field battle in the search engine and you'll have tons of video...

Angusm0628

depending on the sweep of your point if it won't pass beyond the 1/2" (I think it is) you should be ok... Caveat, a marshall may have a case of the willies in approving that for thrusting. In a play it safe frame of mind I'd go with B.

Spurius,
Start a topic in combat and weapons forums looking for practices in the Lancaster area... I'm sure someone somewhere can direct you to a relatively close practice site....

Just a thought

Angusm0628

What would much more entertaining is seeing the whole Ironlance line use it as their battle cry before they charge.. The look on the opposing line as they utter "HUNH" in unison would be priceless...

Audax, I'd love to lay claim to it being my idea, but somewhere in the recesses of my muddled brain I think I heard about it from someone else and thought it was a good teaching aid. So I used it. Spurius Offer still stands if yer in the area Thursday evenings is our regular workshop night/practices...

Cian, That's exactly what I'm shooting for. house colors in coverings appropriate for the period of the wearer...That and getting rid of all the visible plastic.. I'll work on the plastic first. Then move onto the coverings. Alot of the guys like the tabards cause they're easy on easy off. One step ...

I was addressing the "I blind myself with it" problem when suggesting the soda bottle. It teaches short movements of the shield while building blocking ability using those "short movements" the shorter movement is also quicker.

Angusm0628

Angusm0628

Not quite sure if this will help you or not but here's my offering. Years ago I had a young fighter that blinded himself with his shield, got it way too far away from him, what have you. His movements were wayyy exaggerated regarding the shield.. The solution. I made him hold a liter soda bottle in ...

Congratulations again, Angus. I know I was new at FFF, but I saw at least something the same as HRH did. You and Sir Graedwyn were the two people there that impacted me the most. You were both very happy to offer advice, even lend gear to someone who was brand new. You two and Duke Kilkenny are my ...
