What do you need? I have several sword length sticks and I can give you one or two.

Hal, I sent you a pm.

i think having the satisfaction and pride of making my own might be worth the time and labor. i still need a website with instructions. i have found patterns on most of the website links people have posted but this is my first armor project. my dad wears very little armor and i don't think he can h...

I can vouch for the superb quality of this man's work, if that means anything to anyone.

Hey, Myself and a girl from my shire are planning on going in together to buy a side of leather, or some shoulders. (she's making a breastplate, I'm going for legs. We'll divvy up the remainder) Where would everyone recommend we go to make the purchase. Right now I'm thinking tandy because they hav...

Well, I'm just glad we have a student of theology here so they can tell me what I've misread in the bible and what I should believe. The apostles do retell the death of Christ in different view points, and they do vary greatly. But they don't contradict each other with regards to the order of death...

And I recognize Morgarten there.

YOu may want to consider shortening the vambraces up a bit. Jammig the back of your hand against the vambrace edge can really hurt and interfere with your freedom of movement when throwing sword blows.

Cool. Keep us updated. The look is defnitely improving.

Should we have Tasha check that when she checks your nipple?

Well, they are related to other Germanic groups, true? And certain things seem to be common. Wikelbander or winngas wrapped around the lower leg seems common enough. Various sorts of masculine jewelry such as pectorals, neck rings, bracts, etc. A vendel or Sutton Hoo type helm, or a Late Roman ridge...

Great improvement. It still deosn't really sing Heruli to me but it is defnitely moving in the right direction.

In your opinion. In the vast bulk of Christian theologians opinions, Isaiah and Daniel clearly predict the Messiah. There must be something to it, because in the first century AD, Jewish theologians thought the same verses predicted a messiah, they expected them to deliver from Roman occupation. Ch...

A ton of theologians would dissagree with your assertion that there is no Old Testament prophesy regarding Jesus or the Messiah - Isaiah and Daniel is the place to look for it though. I've read them. Theologians have an agenda regarding the advent of Christ and I find them untrustworthy as their ve...

Well, God forbid we ever buy more rattan...

Of course when the white man and his metal weapons and tools made it to Meso America the natives were burnt toast.

Yay flint!

What's my name, coach?

The word Champion comes from the medieval latin word "campion". A tricky thing about latin, from what I've been told by a latin teacher, is that modern latin is very different from medieval latin or church latin and most translators do "modern latin". But since it's a dead langu...

There is no modern Latin. YOu've got Medieval, Vulgar and Classical Latin.

I already translated the phrase once. Is there something wrong with it?

Ahem. I'm very disappointed no one has a moment to pick up one of their bibles and read the details for themselves. What a shame. But the reason given in one of the books of the Apostles (I think Mark) is that the Jewish eldars asked Pilot to take down the bodies of the crucified because it was a p...

Those look almost exactly like the gaunts Syr Kyppyn of the East makes.

MOst folks consider the Medieval period to be roughly 600AD to 1600 AD.

So from what I have been reading their principal weapons were bow, lance and sword? The thing is is that in all of those links from that site there wasnt much specifically on the cataphract's life and position in society. I am guessing that in persia they would be considered minor nobility. Would t...

That should be good. A little story: Once upon a time in Ansteorra (Central Texas) there was a squire who passed out from heat stroke. As she came to at one point, several people were trying to remove her helm. The chin strap had caught upon her nose and they were more or less pulling her face off. ...

I call myself Martel. I've applied for the surname du Grace, after my knight. It may or may not ever get approved but everyone calls me Martel.

So you could just tell everyone your name is Yohannes and eventually they'll get it.

I did mean the general you and not you specifically. Sorry if that was unclear. I figure that the current rules about name uniqueness are fairly clear and well set out (not saying I agree with them, don't have a big issue with them). If someone deliberately flouts them, then asshattery. Generally, a...

okay here is my latest version this is from a Pas held on Labor day It's a nice kit but when are you trying to be from? The helm is 12th maybe 13th cent at the latest and the rest of the armour looks to be mid 14th cent. A bascinet or great helm would fit better with the armour. yes the helm is 13t...

What's to stop someone from being an ass, you say? Nothing but peer pressure and the fact most people won't have anything to do with them if they choose to act like that. Nothing stops people from being an ass, I should know. Most people in the SCA know all those names and that is the context in wh...

well after studying my helm further the cheekbone and something about the way it is designed reminded me of a roman style, and i think that if i can find some way to alter the back neck covering and maybe flare it out a bit more it might look more like it. i also think at one point it might have be...
