Clay, Krag and I both get ours from the leather factory, they have some brass ones that look pretty good. Pretty good prices on them too. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://www.edricsrose.com Flos est puellarum, quam diligio, et rosa rosarum, quam sepe video. "My lo...

Actually, the correct explanation would be that Edric was taking a break from writing exceedingly boring technical reports on PID control of a magnetic levatation device at 3:00 am and didn't pay attention to the seller's name. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://www...

Ya, I got mine in last week, just haven't had the time to post a good review. The quick and dirty of it: I bought 2 pair, one for myself (low boots) and one for my lady(princess). We were both very satisfied them. The uppers seem to be some nice soft deerskin or elk skin, really comfortable without ...

You might be able to talk Krag into doing a damascus one for you. Check out the one he did for Insane Irish on his sight, it's pretty cool. http://www.kragaxe.com ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://www.edricsrose.com Flos est puellarum, quam diligio, et rosa rosarum...

Was just reading Hushgirl's post on linen breeches and remembered to post this. I called them and they are suppose to send me some swatches but I haven't gotten them in the mail yet. They said they have alot more than what they have in stock so to call them and tell them what you want when you order...

I'm assuming the kettle hat is for 27 1/2" head instead of 7 1/2" head???

Late 14th to early 15th century europe. They work good with a bascinet or great bascinet. Maybe an early sallet when they still looked more like kettle hats. As for arms and legs you would be looking at full steel. Long pointed sabatons. Could scan some illuminations if you'd like. -----------------...

Haven't handled one myself but the best thing I have heard about them is you get what you pay for, not exactly a glowing comment. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://www.edricsrose.com Flos est puellarum, quam diligio, et rosa rosarum, quam sepe video.

This is me in the red and gold surcote. My armour also fits my persona, or maybe it's the other way around. Anshelm bascinet with visor from Patrick Thaden. I like the glancing characteristics of the bascinet and the visibility out of the visor is the best I have seen out of a close faced helm. Brea...

Edric

Have any pics of the bascinet top? I might be interested.

Wow, those are pretty nice, wonder if I could get my lady to buy me some toy soldiers for my birthday. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif The helmet is an early great bascinet. I have a visor on my bascinet similar to this style: [img]http://www.edricsrose.com/unusedpics/Ravensfort2/fight5.J...

If this is not for SCA it should be great. It is a basic design, one field color, one charge of a complimenting color. If it is for the SCA it should be fine too, and should be easy to pass. Of course that is assuming you don't conflict with anyone. Since it is so simple and a you use an animal that...

I got this pavilion from someone who was moving and needed to get rid of stuff. I paid $300 +$55 shipping. http://www.edricsrose.com/unusedpics/pavilion/ It is a square pavilion with flared walls. (on a side note, I was wondering if anyone had any references for them being used in period) I was told...

I use half parafin half bees wax also. Parafin can be baught at any grocery store in the canning section. Get the bee's wax here: http://www.silverbowhoney.com/cgi-bin/store/agora.cgi?product=wax It's $3.50/lb or $50 for a 16 pounder. That's pretty much the cheapest around. OR you could go to a hobb...

Looking to get some rattan soon. Need reviews of different sellers. I was looking at hhperkins. Any comments of straitness, quality(worm holes?), thickness consistancy(do you get the thickness you order?).

Yes Brettun's Village Leather is THE place to get great quality leather at a great price. The leather I have gotten from them has been better than the leather I have gone to the leather factory myself and picked out. For leather sewing supplies and such I would go with leather factory. -------------...

Hey Krag you need any new chunks of wood for dishing stumps? The other day when we had that horrible wind a tree fell down in Keri's yard and the work crew that came out cut another one in the yard down so it wouldn't hit her trailer again (there is a 2' hole in the roof of the kitchen). Anyway it w...

Edric

Hey Krag, are you planning on doing any reproductions of those? I think it would be cool to have a period axe for wood splitting. I'm sure we could find some good wood for handles for them too. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://www.edricsrose.com Flos est puellarum...

Tack another me too on. He did a visor for me about a month ago. I gave him an illustration and some instructions, which I changed several times, and the result was exactly what I was looking for.

I am pretty sure that is spelled wrong but I am too lazy to look it up. Anyway, I am putting a scale aventail on my bascinet.

Ya, that's what was looking for, what I meant to say was Swords for live steel combat. Do you have links to these places? I have starfire's already. The guy from Purpleheart is actually one of the ones in this group. We plan on using both wooden wasters and steel at this point. ------------------ --...
