Oh don't get me wrong. I am totally on the side of archeology in this aspect.

MJBlazek

nice.

I have entered into negotiations to run a CotT style Deed at the 2014 Great North Eastern War in Hebron Maine. July 10-13, 2014. I am sure that the Event Steward will want a good faith estimate of support. As time is a precious thing at this event. If I can get this off the ground, is there anyone h...

MJBlazek

I didn't say I was surprised.
I said I was fascineted. I have never seen it so clearly argued in such ways before

MJBlazek

so anybody walk away with some good loot?

MJBlazek

I hope he is a sock puppet.
If not you are coming across a tad dickish.

MJBlazek

I find this discussion fascinating.
You have one side using Archeology, and the other siting Biblical passages that he (and millions of others) belive to be verbatim accounts.

MJBlazek

those demis sewn onto a glove. Do you think you could do a full clamshell guantlet the same way?

MJBlazek

I am putting these back up for sale. I bought them off of William and the sleeves are just to small for me!
I have sent a PM to William81 giving him first refusal.

MJBlazek

are you selling the greaves serperate? (he says hopefully:) )

MJBlazek

I was thinking about making hardened leather gauntlets, but inside out. So the glove ( or in thie case mitten) was sewn to the outside of the plates instead of the inside.

MJBlazek

Hmmm... oven mitts....

MJBlazek

I used hockey gloves for a little bit, before getting my good gauntlets. Holding onto the sword wasn't to bad, but getting hit in the hand sucked.

MJBlazek

He seems to be trying for hard hand protection that is carefully disguised as something other than hard platy gauntlets. Sounds like it's for early-period. Exactly. There is evidence of gambesons having integral mittens. well for the SCA and hand protection I need to have a little more than just a ...

MJBlazek

hmmm.... you win this time Tally..... THIS time....

MJBlazek

So I want to make an SCA legal gauntlet that looks like the mitten of a padded gambeson.

Any sugestions?

MJBlazek

Can we say "pics or it didnt happen" of an entire event?

MJBlazek

Who are "Da Bears" Alex?

MJBlazek

wow that is nice!

MJBlazek

Yup. And that's me sitting in the background.

MJBlazek

hey that's my old tent!

MJBlazek

Hey there is some nice stuff in etsy! I have enjoyed everything I've even purchased from there.

USA Knights is the Team that is sent to BoTN.

Anybody have a tutorial on one of those choppas?

MJBlazek

I went to the Met last summer. Took about 500 pictures. One of these days I will actually get around to posting them

MJBlazek

Murdock, do you have vervelles?

Thats Lord Richard Crowe- from the Province of Malagentia. He may be the current Northern Region Rattan Champion, or possibly he was last years.

MJBlazek

Guys, If you look at the rest of the website I don't think the person is an "Armourer" per se. He appears to be an aritist and jeweler that is also dabbling in armor.
His jewlery is very nice.

MJBlazek

Pm sent

MJBlazek

I don't need tools, but if you had an old crusader-type pot helm sitting down in the creek

MJBlazek

Auction style with the starting bid of $300? or Any starting bid?

MJBlazek

The pics are too big to load from my phone. Will try to get them up when I get on my computer.

MJBlazek

I received my bascinet from Jackie today. It is gorgeous. I will guide people to him, with the clear understanding that he may have personal issues to work through, but that he will deliver.

MJBlazek

Bump. Anybody seen him lately?

MJBlazek

Please check your pms!
