There's been plenty of times here where fighters spend SO much time having different people jump in and instruct over the top of the person instructing them that they never get to fight. Bloody annoying. I'm all for having a training session, but there needs to be a time at FP when it's JUST fightin...

I paid extra to get a basket hilt based on a mid-16th century model for a reason, being late period and all that.

The one I have doesn't have a base for the tire. I just set it on some relatively flat dirt and used an R15 tire (maybe 14). The concrete I used set up pretty quickly, was mixed fairly thick and I made sure to get some in the rim of the tire. It picked some random bits of dirt, but it's been fine. N...

Aaron, you need to start referring to shieldmen as "johns".

That'd be the best place to start asking.

But your face would be safe, so you could have an open casket funeral!

Saritor

Yeah, I keep an eye on it every now and again, waiting for Darmour to put some more boots up for sale on it.

Look for images of the carvings at the Cathedral at Bari. I've seen a few in David Nicholle's work. You're pretty much looking, as far as heavy kit goes, at the helm you already have, plus maille, or possibly scale/lamellar (hard to tell from the carvings). Pisa Cathedral might be a good source, but...

Saritor

I'll give it a shot tomorrow and see if I can get some better pictures.

It still looks plenty differenced to me, but then I don't work for the CoA. Yeah, 1 CD for the field, 1 for the removal of the wyvern/use of the sun/the position the sun is in, in the event that someone comes up with a way to conflict two-headed wyverns with suns in slendour. Possibly one for the r...

Nothing's sold yet. I've only gotten a couple of pm's, but nothing from you that I've got in my inbox, unless you're also Ozzie.

Saritor

Now is a good time to get into process. We've had something like three letters of acceptance and return pumped out in the last 45 days. Depending on your timing, kingdom and the local herald you submit through, you'd be looking at 1-2 months to get from local to kingdom and out to Laurel, and an ind...

Saritor

There are a number of other devices (including a few in the "Azure, a chevron Argent" search I ran) that do just that. You actually, by preference, want to peruse the Ordinary rather than relying on the search. m The Ordinary will include things that conflict with whatever you're looking ...

Is this the part where we post that pic of...ahem...Dorothy from the Pennsic pink ribbon thing?

for the weekend.

Still available, price negotiable.

The entire Blake family name comes from the fact that a Welshman, Richard Caddell, was nicknamed "le Blaca" due to coloring/complexion. The name eventually evolved in to Blake. You also see Dubh in Gaelic as a descriptive byname, usually attached to hair color or complexion. (The meaning i...

There's really not a decent explanation of footwork from a period source in the time frame you're looking for. You really do have to move differently and balance your weight differently in flat-soled shoes. Smaller steps, and definitely shorter steps on the lunge, in you're making any movements of t...

Saritor

Well, in the hopes that you're looking for bazubands, I have a pair I'm trying to get rid of that were made for my girlfriend (who's 5'4" and quite curvy).

But yeah. Sha-ul's questions are spot on.

Saritor

Are you planning to reach out to the heavy weapons community as well as the C&T folks? Are you going to try to have folks teach the WMA techniques straight (i.e., in and of themselves) or are you going to try to have some emphasis on ways and means to apply the techniques being taught for C&...

Somewhere in here, there's a joke involving gear and talent builds, but it's too early in the morning for me to make it.

Saritor

Aaaaaand another bump.

Had a couple of folks express interest, but no takers yet.

Saritor

Seriously, with all the threads about people wanting fencing helms, you'd think there'd be at least one person who had commented on this by now.

Would it help if I said the price was $350 or best reasonable offer?

Saritor

I'd love to...but $$ says "yeah right pal"... If you think they'll fit you, and the price seems reasonable to you, pm me and we can work something out. Money RIGHT NOW is always good, but this is primarily me getting rid of excess clutter and material things in my life. I'm absolutely ame...

Saritor

It's a little outdated in some areas.

I'd suggest Hjalmr for the helm. Inexpensive, excellent work. Send a pm to him here on the Archive.

For the rest? Stonekeep. (Though he also has some pretty inexpensive helms, and starter kits available.)

c) Do you think there would be interest in the SCA community about how the researched fighting techniques might specifically be applicable to the martial combat system employed in the Society? We're about to find out just how much interest there is for that here in the Outlands. I'm hoping to, afte...

This morion was made by Maelgwyn McCain at Strawberry Fields Armory a couple of years ago for me, but I've never gotten around to either acquiring a hood, or making the leather drape for it that I'd need for C&T. (It'll also need a chin strap.) Measures ~8.75" across, ~10" front to bac...

One pair stainless steel bazubands, made by Beathan at Armour & Castings, 16 gauge throughout. Wrist opening is both slightly flared and folded. Total length from tip of elbow to wrist opening, measured on a direct line: ~12.75" Vam, measured across is 5.5" at the widest and 4.375"...

Measurements, for folks that have asked for them: All edges are filed clean, not rolled.
