It is my understanding that these type of gauntlets are legal if your Kingdom does not require a half gauntlet. Now, I would not use it that way myself, and if someone came to me with a pair I would strongly recommend the put something there, but it is legal. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury--...

I used some linen twine. Jim calls the stuff ass chord because it has a distinct smell to it. It is about the thickness of shoe laces. They work well if you make sure that the holes are smooth, otherwise it will slowly cut through the cord. I used some brass ends for them that turned out well. I cou...

I do some civil war stuff on occasion with my dad and one thing I must say they have on us that I long for is period encampment. When you go through one of these camps at night and there are NO coleman lanterns, NO propane stoves, and NO nylon tents, you get this feeling. It's called atmosphere. Gra...

IvarH- Ya I forgot to mention they were redrawings, I have checked a few of them against the actual illuminations and they are pretty accurate. Anradan- HAHA, considering I just recently got autorized I wouldn't say "over the years". I actually have that second book checked out from the library righ...

It is great for late 14-early 15th century stuff. It has illstrations taken from illuminations, all sorts of good stuff from clothes to siege equipment. I wouldn't pay that price for it though, I think I got mine on half.com for $20. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http...

I also have to put in a plug for Rev and Historic Enterprises. Although I only bought a banner from Rev, I have to say that if it looks as good as his picture and is as well made as my banner, it is well worth your consideration. ------------------ --Edric de Aldebury-- edric@edricsrose.com http://w...

One thing I can warn you about is that the instructions on the Period Patterns are often confusing and vague.

Since you asked I went to the library and picked up a couple of books to do a little research and have firmly decided that I must have a complete collection of pottery for every imaginable task. This is just from 2 books, there are about 4 others that SHOULD be in the oversized section but they are ...

Thanks for the compliments guy, I pretty much have been working on getting this together for a year and a half. The great helm will soon be replaced with a klapvisor bascinet, and full steel frontal greaves are ordered also, as are a pair of pseudo period fighting shoes. I just got a hauberk, but I ...

Ok I am wanting to make a scale aventail for my helm. What I need is a basic pattern for an aventail with a mantle that I can size to fit my helmet. Should I just make it round to the length I want it, and then put gores in it to get it to flare out for the mantle?? Maybe a mail pattern would help? ...

Well I can say button holes are period for sure.
