Were they monsters? No; but they were hard, ruthless people in a hard, ruthless time and were perfectly capable of horrible acts. I read a story how some lads were all hanging out one evening drinking and the local monk was hangin' out with them. They got...

I was watching "Mail Call" last night. There was a segment on the Golden Knights Army skydiving team. I noticed they were wearing these leather skull caps with strips of padding. They looked like the ribs of padding would equal out to be 1/2" and spaced out in just the correct spots to use for paddi...

I bought a quillion and pommel set from him a couple years ago. About a year ago I sold it like an idiot. When I noticed the fella I sold it to, in turn had it up for sale, I bought it back. They're THAT nice! I had no problems with contacting Anshelm with my original purchase of the set, and he had...

Have any of you used Ashcraft-Bakers cheaper gauntlets? The ones they list for 70 bux? I've been looking at them and thinkin' about buying a pair. Would like some feedback from any of you who've used 'em.

I have a new sugarloaf coming. The top is very Bascinet-like....ie nice and round. I'm lookin' at padding options. I don't really want to go the foam route and was thinking of making a padded coif in a more period fashion. Am I going to have mashall probelms??? Any of you who play in the SCA context...

The gauntlets where made by Ugo

I've spoken with Jay at Pacific Yew via email a couple of times. He will make a bow for you in the medieval style if you want him too. His bows are already pretty darned close to a period longbow design. He would just need to make it from a one piece stave, and leave out the center grip. Better yet....

Ned Chaney

Have you got pics of what the new kit will look like?? Are you staying with the chapel or going to a Bascinet? If I hadn't shifted my interests and emphasis I'd JUMP on the arms and the legs. Those would go SO well with a corazinna and a bascinet!!

I haven't dealt with them in a couple of years, but when I did deal with them although they were a bit slow they always answered my phone calls and emails and kept me informed on my order. I can't comment on how they are at communicating these days. They make a really nice list legal chapel de fer. ...

Chadwick's has both a knee high and an ankle high women's boot for right at 20 bux each. They go up to 11 or 12 which would fit up to a men's 9 I believe.

The West is actually doing a mounted boffer game. I'm not sure of the name but it's something like "smack the crest" or something. The goal is to knock your opponents crest off his helmet with a boffer sword whilst riding a horse. (both of you are horseback) As this helm is setup to have a crest att...

I make both period arrows and modern arrows and I've studied archery, and fletching quite a bit. Period arrows were self nocked (ie the nock cut directly into the shaft instead of glued on, reinforced with a horn or wood insert, and shaped) with the fletches being both glued and thread wrapped. I do...

My buyer on the 14th C type fanless elbow cops with splinted arms had to cancel out so they are again available.

You'll need an amp to go with whatever Bass you decide to play. I have a Hartke 3500 I use as a spare I'd let you have for 200 bux. Don't listen to these guitar players.

I've added an item. One set of splinted legs. Knee cop and demi greave have a crease in the 14th C fashion. Most comfortable legs I've ever worn. Asking 100 bux.

In the IKAC there are two divisions....Open and Traditional. In the Traditional class one must use self nocked arrows, and bows with no arrow shelf or sights of any kind. So here's my idea.....a "Combat Gear" shoot. I'm not talking an IKCAC where combat archers shoot at the plywood man, I'm talking ...

I'm adding another item. One pair of Andy Ward size large stainless steel gaunts. 75 bux. Can be seen here:
