Having had Amos crack me in the unarmored everything (I typically wear bare min armor), I can say that it has sting, and authority, but this weird "dead" quality that you can certainly tell apart from rattan.

Dibs for elbows are off. He's worried his elbows would be too boney for them

Kilian_the_warlike

Your friend needs to be a scrawny guy or woman under 200 pounds for these elbows to fit. I don't really undertstand the Stonekeep thing. Won't that just give you the measurement of my arm with whatever elbow pad I am wearing? Does a straight across measurement help? If so, http://i923.photobucket.c...

Kilian_the_warlike

Any possibility of getting a measurement on the elbows ala Stonekeep's system? http://spiers-saddlery.stores.yahoo.net/elbows.html

If so, dibs on a friend's behalf.

Apparently the Russians are cool with it too...

Is that a reproduction or an actual historical piece? Whatever it is it looks nasty! That is an original sir, and was dated to the later 1680's if I recall correctly. BACK ON TRACK: To honestly contribute to the thread; I nominate one of my heros in prowess, crafting skill, and badassery: Ugo Serra...

Forgot I had this pic.

Only because i'm going to be back in Atlantia by next month, I will make one and show you Dante. Good thing I got some legal Alchem daggers sitting around.

Here is an example.

Still want it Swete? Your top dibs.

Sword still available!

Kilian_the_warlike

Thanks Lorccan, right on the money. And yeah Aidan, I used it for hard suit, both rattan and live steel without a single dent. Its a freaking tank.

Kilian_the_warlike

Thanks! Didn't know, got it for xmass one year. Price is dropped!

Kilian_the_warlike

Yes, I have even more to sell. Just had to put my rat down, and now I need a little bit more to make rent. Again. (at least I have unemployment coming up) https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/s720x720/546792_3594931273201_1271021133_3457897_542623376_n.jpg My heavy rapier/ cut an thr...

Sorry! Got kinda busy with life (actually have had work as of late!). I have a photoshoot coming up next week for new publicity stills for my troupe. While we have someone with a good camera, i'll have some pictures taken of my instruments for you. Great to hear there is another weird instrument ent...

Kilian_the_warlike

Bump. Sale ends midnight. I'd really like to be able to pay my rent on time.

Kilian_the_warlike

Not to derail, but care to expand? As you may be aware, at long events like SCA wars people often are forced to make a trip to the nearest town to resupply. These trips are known as "town runs" or "ice runs" if that's what they're after. Many people with too great an attachment to Pennsic will refe...

Kilian_the_warlike

Noted. If it dosn't sell before then, its yours.

Kilian_the_warlike

bump?

Kilian_the_warlike

Forgot to mention, never worn out, and only tried on once. Was supposed to be for our first big event in our new home.

Kilian_the_warlike

oh yeah, I can beat you. I looked like Tuchuck up-chuck back when I was 16. Let me find a pic...

Kilian_the_warlike

While waiting for unemployment, I need to make sure I have enough to stave off the rent for one more month. Really hate to sell this, but its not like it has any use to me anymore.

Each opening in the bladded has fixed reeds, facing either direction, vibrating like individual sonal tubes or very short chanter pipes. The button mechanism holds the apetures (sp?) of the bladder at each reed shut, unless depressed, allowing air flow. Not nearly as efficient as a true accordian, b...

Kilian_the_warlike

Damn. Times like this I wish we had a "like" button. James, your set up is AWESOME!

Kilian_the_warlike

I'll have to get my camera, but its really quite interesting. It functions like a cross between a concertina and an air bladder reed pipe (like bagpipes) that has a manual air draw through pulling (thus expanding, and drawing air over un-squeezed reed chambers for a note) and squeezing. Modern Accor...

Ok, here is what I got... This instrument started in the middle east and/or china, depending on either convergent evolution or exported technology. Both where used primarily as a marching aid, and unit signifier. This marching aid diverged into what can be easily identified as Turkish cresent, but a...

Kilian_the_warlike

Mac, AccordiLON, not accordion. Think smaller, much much simpler, and can be traced back to the VERY late 17th to mid 18th centuries. Modernly known as an Arcadian or Cajun squeeze box. Its pushing the period, but sounds good. Robert, you are making this even better! I really should have sprung for ...

Kilian_the_warlike

You sir, have made my day! Wiki seems a little sparse on info, but now that I know what the hell im looking for, this should be cake. Well, if they aren't PA Dutch specific (and they well may be!) I'd look to Palatine germany as the origin.. though I'm not sure hi-hats are period, in any event. But...

Hey folks. Seeing as my current state of affairs leaves me with nothing but time, i've been working on making a few projects, and have come to one that has been a curiosity to me for a while. In the 2005 movie "The Brothers Grimm" there appears a band in the pub at the begining of the movie. One man...

While im not a fan of stylized fantasy, it is a remarkable and handsome suit.

My only critique is that the angel on the chest dosn't have an angel on its chest, and one on its chest...

If anyone knows the whereabouts or can contact him, please have him contact me or Gabriel Cindel of Tir-y-don. He has gone AWOL for some time and currently has some items of import that were loaned to him by my mother.

Will post more info if need be.

Kilian_the_warlike

Gypsy, as I said, no. I need money before the 7th at the latest.

Kaoz, as I said, bidding is over. Sorry.

Kilian_the_warlike

Well folks, bidding is over! everyone who won should send me addresses and names so I can get shipping ready, and I should have then all mailed out before wendsday

Kilian_the_warlike
