Well... This looks like it will be fun... both in fighting and for scheduling.... Wheee!

Nissan, We have met on a couple occasions.. though not on the field. You are a person that speaks his mind and has no regrets about it. Keep that up! Your years of experience at this game makes it that much better for the new folks that come in. Your constant pursuit of excellence in yourself for yo...

If you would be interested...

I could hook you up with some one who might be willing to do a Book of Hours for you... using period techniques and materials.

It would *probably* cost about $30K

You lucky bastage! Congrats on the gift! Yes... honor the man with a good, timely gift. I have a newer style of that anvil... mine was made by Mankel in Cannonsburg, Michigan. I would suggest doing a hand rub-down on that to clean up the rust... Others may have better thoughts on cleaning up the rus...

What makes you think the chartes arms have shell articulation, not floating? Good Point... I am so used to seeing shell articulation.... To the InterTubes! Also, I was looking at the booklet from Talbot... which has shell articulation. Man... I would love to go get a first hand look at the effigies...

Gilebert

Okay... I have decided I am going to give a shot at making a set of 14th C arm harnesses. Based loosely on the Chartres arms. My question is about the articulation... how best to lay it out. I have heard that it is best if you set it up so that the rivets are in a line when the harness is straight.....

I agree with Nissan. If there is ANY question on the blow/shot, ask your opponent to not take the shot. Or.. if a marshal is present, and your opponent agrees to it, ask the marshal for their input on it. Ultimately, it is up to your opponent. edit Just make sure the next shot is cleanly struck!

IIRC, Arch had one bout to Eikbrands's two. Edmund and Logan then met. Edmund defeated Logan Then Eikbrandr and Edmund m...

Yes. He was placed on Vigil either at Pennsic or just after.

Hal,

I am interested in one of the Carlos Kits.

How do I get one? What do You need from me (besides $$$)?

Also, how was the finish on the one in the image achieved? I like that look.

Gilebert

Baron Conal. I will not be making the journey to Red Dragon this year. I will, however, meet you at some event in the future and partake in a belated celebration of your birth. At such event, I would happily meet you on the filed with single sword, sword and buckler, greatsword and pole arm/axe.... ...

From a Yahoo news page.. m COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Danish archaeologists say they have found a well-preserved Viking shield that is more than 1,000 years old. Archaeologist Kirsten Christensen says the wooden shield has a diameter of 32 inches. It was found Tuesday during excavations near Viking-age c...

These look nice.

They also look kind of like they would fit on a big cat... because of the way the articulate.

This was my third year as a member of a team. The first year was when I was asked by HG Eanor to be on the English side. She asked me as we were both armoring up at an event in Cleftlands. I was... surprised to be asked. I did not think my kit was any where close enough to compete in such a deed as ...

I am going to build the helm and the CoP everything else I have. I was waiting on one of these 14th C gurus before I make the wrong stuff. Greetings Sir, Although I am not one of the 14th C gurus, I did a quick search on the helm style you are looking at... The Pembridge Helm had been around for qu...

Greetings unto all who read this missive. I, Lord Gilebert le Bracceur de Dijon, did meet the good Baron Robert Downey upon the fields of the Great Pennsic War at the appointed time and date that we had agreed upon. The day was overcast with rain imminent. As I approached the field, I Saw the Banner...

HIJACKED!

This thread has been Hijacked...

It's okay though... good turn of conversation.

Gilebert

Greetings, I would like to thank His Grace Icefalcon for not splattering me all over the field at Pennsic during the second field battle. I had just finished helping the Midrealm Army and Allies mop up the (from my point of view) right center opposing group as we crossed the backfield in front of Ea...

I did a bit of research and could not find it in any of the past pennsic site books. so it probibly has a history of being a post deadline request for battle field usage. the HCS has a great sword turney listed at "5 feet or less" but I am not shure on what this year will end up looking l...

Gilebert

Yes, Matt. Add yourself top the list.

Although I have not bought from you recently, you carry your business well and keep people informed.

Gilebert

Baron Eirik,

I will be in to see you as soon as you are open. I need 4 staves of 1.25 shaved and various foam bits. Also need to get a couple of new pieces from By My Hand.

Gilebert

Murdock,

I will be on-site and can oversee if necessary...

Oh.. My Pennsic job is done. So I will have time.. other than playing!

Gilebert

That was all the info I was given when asked to schedule this.

And that request only came in two weeks ago...

If you have or can find, look to see of it is listed in last years Pennsic book.

Wish I had a haubergeon... it would make my kit so much more there...

One day...

There were no requests for the Celtic battle.

If you do decide to take it up for next year... be sure to pay attention to the Pennsic event registration dates.

Well, that is Midrealm Court night. Not sure what will be going on or not... up to my Lady.

So... look for me on the pick-up fields... or in the battles!

Looking to build...
