I'll have the Full Silkwood please.

Someone get the hose. Alejandro is drooling all over the floors again.

audax

Yep, rest it. I've had a problem for a while with it. It got so bad I can't even lift a large drink and haven't been able to work for over 5 months! I'm having surgery on the 12th for mine (3-6 weeks for recovery & PT for a while after that) Well if my armouring days are over, at least the scor...

I tell nothing....

Will you make some of these with a more fitted leg for us 14th century types? With a footi or a stirrup to keep them tuck in our boots?

That would be pretty badass.

I'm cool guys. It's a ninety day notice and I get to spend all of my time looking for work. When I leave I'll be getting a nice chunk of change for severance so, I think I'll be okay.

But prayers are ALWAYS welcome.

audax

Holy shit, dude!

audax

Gorgeous.

And I just found out I'm gettng laid off so I'll have lots and lots of time on my hands to work on armour.

WHEE!

Site in progress. new kit in progress, pics to be announced. I promise to get a camera and take pics.

audax

Many thanks, my friend.

I've got a paid order so I'll be working on it as soon as I get my leather queue cleared out.

audax

I can see some projects coming my way...

I'll be making CoP's for new guys/broke guys in the very near future. I need to clear a small backlog but will then get right on with my new guy armoury. A full harness minus helm will run @ $175-$200. I can do the CoP separately for $75. Martel, he's stopping by this evening for some freebie stuff...

Albion does not ever use a wire tang on their swords.

Oh joy, yet another question =) Building an arm harness...going to be a throw away as I am trying several different methods to see which one I like to wear. This one is one of talbots patterns. 14c. Integrated spaulders, floating elbow with fan. I assembled it as written with the exception of the v...

That may be the prettiest gorget I've ever seen. Very nice.

Cowboy up Texan, or I will drink the beverage I have for you at BAM all by myself. Uric Yes, sir. Allright, I'll go forward with my newbiee armoury.

Sorry to hear that the headaches outweighed the fun.

I'd like to and may take it up again in the future. My reputation means a great deal to me and Rondel's dunning me make me look like I did something wrong when I did not.

audax

Shipping is a pain, and it's just not worth thehassle and potential damage to my reputation.

I'll complete all current orders and then that's it.

Thanks ya'll.

audax

I'm looking for it. I sent it to you once already.

audax

Rondel, I'll dig it up tonight and get it to you tomorrow,

That should have arrived last week.

NOt yet. Soon as I get the first one finished, I'll show it off here.

audax

Hey Audax, My roommate is interested in starting the SCA as an outlet for his frustrations. So I expect him to be ordering a kit from you by christmas, st. valentines at the latest. So we're both eagerly looking forward to pictures of your new kit. What will he require in the way of measurements so...

I would love to see that. We don't do enough pandybat tournies.

Wot's a pandybat?

Now with tip . Need to find a local store that sell the chrome colored duct tape. Used to get it at Lowes, but they don't have any colored duct tape anymore. Also, find a way to color the rubber spear lug. Plus redesign the tip, abit too boxy. Though a thousand times better looking than my old spea...

Makes sense. I think it is okay to re-examine things from time to time.

audax

Pitbull makes good stuff and he's super fast on the turnaround times.

Good prices as well.

Her buckler had a nice thick pad behind the grip. I was thinking maybe when I build my next shield of ditching the basket, using my new gauntlets and padding with the double strap grip. Maybe also creating a sort of tube shaped pad for helping to keep the wrist in the right position. Interesting...

audax

What's that? I have elbow problems in my right (read sword) arm. I'd like to be able to fight left handed sometimes but I have no interest in having two different sheilds to lug around. Center grip sheilds were in use during the 14th century, especially during sieges, but I haven't really seen many...

Whoa...that gives me an idea.
