I am stunned by the price of this book now

But it is a good resource for camp furniture.

British Campaign Furniture

maybe inter-library loan.....

I wish I had bought the other copies at $20 each now
instead of just one....

Baron Conal

Therefore, I challenge someone to figure out what to sell me. I have money, I'm just looking for something I ought to get.

Cool, thanks!

and I might be able to find them where?

Baron Conal

I'm currently reading Le Morte d'Arthur.

I'm a little less than 1/2 way through it right
now and am starting to think about a Arthur
themed pas....

I reached the part with the tourney with the
'rainbow' of knights last night....

Any other suggested readings for this idea?

New research claims the Mary Rose may have been sunk and that is was covered up to protect the Tudors reputation: m So they would rather have had everyone think that in sunk through incompetence than by a cannonball.....? I would like to see more information on this before I jump to any conclusions...

Baron Conal

I've got some chairs for him and suddenly
he seems to be missing?

I hope there is nothing wrong on his end....

He has not posted anything since the 6th.....

Just friendly concern at the moment....

I've got a basic six-board style chest for auction. It's made from birch plywood with solid poplar covering all visible ( when the chest is closed ) plywood end grain. ( It has not been sanded yet... ) It's 12x11 1/2x 23 inside the chest, tall enough to be used as a seat comfortably. http://i147.pho...

I'm looking for a review on AaronCarter.
Specifically his more detailed work...

I've been talking with him about some work on a
pair of LM finger gauntlets. New tips for the thumbs
and a new etched brass cuff decoration.

He knows I am asking.

Thanks in advance!

Baron Conal

I've given the green light on one set of the hardware I need for this and gotten some pricing info for the oak for the clamp....

I am looking at purchasing a set of these to use in my mitten gauntlets to forgo any other padding.

Are they padded just on the backs of the hand and fingers...hmmmm

It looks like they are, but its hard to 100% certain....

He seems like a genuinely nice guy that wants to help a fellow woodworker/cabinetmaker. He is gonna get me some repair work to do kinda like a subcontractor.

How do they hold up to SCA combat abuse?

The cuff would need to be shortened to match the bell
on the gauntlet....but that's a minor alteration...

I can do leather stitching horses!
