Have you looked at Windrose armoury's knees and elbows?? Elbows can be found here.... http://www.windrosearmoury.com/arm_and_hand.htm

The book I couldn't remember is called "Archery Steps to Success" by Kathleen M. Haywood.

Some sources for research: "Longbow A Social and Military History" by Robert Hardy "The Medieval Archer" by Jim Bradbury "English Longbowman" by Clive Bartlett and Gerry Embleton "Bowmen of England: The Story of the English Longbow" by Donald Featherstone. You can find all of these at amazon.com. Br...

Thank you Bob.

Edward, Why do you want to point the gambeson through the maille ??? I'm not exactly tracking with what you're trying to accomplish. I point to the gambeson to hold the arms up so they don't slip down as my arms move. Works pretty well actually! I still want to point to the gambeson when there's Ma...

Ned Chaney

Put Metal Aigletts on the points to give you at least an inch of rigid tip on the end.

Damn good idea!!! I guess there was a good reason for using them in Period.

Ned Chaney

Still doing stickers??? I need some more!

Ned Chaney

I like pointing my arm harness to my gambeson sleeve, and my spaulders to the gambeson shoulder. Here's a question. I'd like to eventually add a Mail Hauberk to my kit to get the correct look under my arm armour etc. How do you point to your gambeson through the Mail?? The obvious answer is thread i...

1> Do you buy your parts in bulk? As with anything, it's cheaper like this. If I front the money for 100 shafts I can get them for 80 cents, more like $1.50 each for just a dozen. Yes. I usually buy in bulk. I use FS Discount arrows for supplies, but I'm always looking for a better supplier. These g...

Ned Chaney

60 bux for a dz arrows??? WOW I'm not charging enuff!!

Ned Chaney

Were these made from the Period Patterns "Medieval Military I" pattern?

Ned Chaney

Have you considered Atlanta Cutlery?? They sell knife parts as well as knives, and they have some Bowie knife blades that are roughly the correct shape. If you ground down the top edge to make the right angle and shape for the top of the blade, then made a handle out of bone, or wood you would have ...

I have some stuff I'd like to sell. I've got a 35# Martin X-200 recurve bow I'm thinking about selling. I ain' postin' pics cause there are better pics on the Martin website which you can see here.... m . I paid 230 bux for it when I bought it. I'll sell it with a dozen arrows and a Historic Enterpr...

Ned Chaney

I agree with these other chaps. What is the weight of the bow you will be shooting from?? Also...what color do you want for the nocks and the feathers?? If I don't have the color you want, once I get supplies in I can knock out two dozen for you in a couple of evenings.

Taking Charlotte's advice and posing this here. I know some of you guys have been involved with setting up and running a Pas. I'm not talking about organizing the pagentry, etc, I'm talking about the nuts and bolts of it like.....building a barrier etc. My province is hosting a pas in June and I was...

Ned Chaney

What is your budget and scale? For budget we can prolly spend a hundred bux or so Also, will this be indoors or out? (Do you have the option of staking down supports?) Outdoors What kind of skills and tools do you have to work with? Do you want bolt together or mortise and tenon type stuff? I'm a fa...

I know some of you guys have been involved with setting up and running a Pas.

got any need for IT/support type folks?

I know most of you in this forum are looking for armour, but I also know that several of you are musicians, so I thought I'd offer this here as well as the other places I've listed it. I have a Shure T4N VHF wireless guitar system I'm putting up for sale. I'm asking 200 bux for it and it comes with ...

http://www.dbis.ns.ca/~carlomeg/ This guy makes really nice greaves for a reasonable price. Don't know how backed up he is by I got mine pretty quickly acouple years ago.

Ned Chaney

I'd bid but I'm saving $$$ for the Benty Grange helm when you get it finished.

Ned Chaney

I have patterns for two or three different styles I've sent out to folks on the AA. You want them?? Email me your snail mail addie and I'd be glad to send 'em out.

Ned Chaney

Good question. Been wondering about this myself. How much of a pain in the @ss is it to thread the points through the mail everytime you gear up?? (Just an aside...according to a couple of primary sources it IS in fact referred to as "mail". They say if you use the term "maille" around serious histo...
