It's a tough call, but I think I like the first.

Someone a while back, possibly even brfore The Great Rollback of Ought Eight, was talking about a celtic domed structure. Seems like is was either T.Finkas, or Saritor. Seems like it was wattle and daub construction which is not super friendly for packing and unpacking

Benefits of Compact Fluorescents: -More natural spectrum of light (not as nice as some incandescents but better then LEDs and old fluorescent lighting). I'm still trying to get my head around this. I've seen led candles that pretty much until you fail to burn a finger on them, look like real candle...

When using shields at the barrier convert to blows attempted instead of received. Keeps the time and energy committed to it down but allows people who REALLY are attached to their shield to participate. I'd ditch the shields, personally, the spirit of a deed isn't really about accommodating everyon...

I wasn't sure if the curve on a round was a dome or a pringle. Now I know ;)

Ingvarr

Don't know what size you're after but Windrose will do whatever size round you want and curve it for an extra $8.

It's spun, not dished, but there's this

I'd be all over this in a heartbeat but for two things. The first being $2k in truck repairs today, the other being that an Atzinger sword and scabbard with my kit would look like a diamond on a pile of crap. If somebody doesn't jump on this really fast, I'm not going to be able to resist though.

Some really good opinions can be found here. I use hose shorts ans stonekeep knees although I'm about to upgrade to more better stonekeep knees.

It seems like I recall talk of the emails going through his secretary, the potential of not everything getting through to him. I've heard that putting his name in the subject line helps it get to him. You might also try PMing him or Odiwara.

I like that one.

You could throw another space in and go from name to sentence. Atzinger Shield Works.

Ingvarr

The only problem with that is that aluminum is closer to period than fiberglass and epoxy. Doesn't look as period, or as sexy for that matter. I disagree. Cloth and glue is cloth and glue be it linnen and gesso or glass fiber and polyester ( or whatever resin V uses). And metal is metal, whether it...

Would it be too dickish if I put this phrase on a t-shirt? "Atzinger Shieldworks- because your shield sucks." Atzinger Shieldworks Because aluminium hasn't been invented yet Seconded! The only problem with that is that aluminum is closer to period than fiberglass and epoxy. Doesn't look a...

Those are nice. Where'd you get them?

Ingvarr

Torvaldr,

I'm sorry to say that I don't have the cash to help out much at the moment. If you have any more large scraps, I'll take another box though. Don't have the slightest what I'll do with them but that's what makes it fun.

Nor should you. If it were your 20 year old son, there would be cause for concern. He sounded a lot like a 10 year old boy to me.

Seller says she bought it at Pennsic 10 years ago and that it fits her 24" head but didn't accommodate her glasses. I was thinking about trying for it for my daughter but she didn't like it. I would definitely beware and pay with paypal if I did it but it could be on the up and up. Wait. The s...

I asked a question about motorcycle foam not too long after I joined here and got ripped into about what a horrible idea it was. That must of been from the Smurf Foam Rangers. I will look into the real helmet foam and try to find us a supplier. Hal At the time I asked about popping the foam out of ...

The black cloth lining inside is nice also.

Michael, I was going to check out your weapon heads so I clicked your www. It's broken. Might need some post-crash updating.

Ingvarr

It sounds like a fun scenario, but I'm not sure it would be run as scripted either. If the defenders don't just hunker down early, and get flanked, the attackers get past. Then they're into the town and castle virtually unmolested. For it to work as desired the majority of the time, the field would ...

Ingvarr

BTW, was flipping through a book the other day and ran across a harness with a similar helmet to the one you are doing. I'll get a scan of it as soon as I remember.

I've heard the exact same thing in Ansteorra (the few times I've played locally, so I would assume it to be fairly common), and was told flat-out that thrusting tips tend to lead to an over-reliance on the thrust, which worked okay for a little while, but was a fast trip to "kicking superficia...

Ingvarr

yeah, but bad commentators were so it's nothing original.

Ingvarr

My wife and daughter watched it. I was in the next room but caught bits and pieces. It looked like the exact same events and almost exact same costumes as the old one. Was there anything at all original about it?

This is a thought as well. I believe that you've done quite a few of these for free. I'm pretty sure you could do several more for a few bucks each if you put a price on them.

I read this thread and couldn't come up with anything but incoherent stammering and profanity. I had to read other things and come back. I still don't know what to say. I would sex your weapons up in a heartbeat if they weren't so far out of my league.

Ingvarr

It definitely holds up a lot better than duct tape. Straight wrapping was all I could come up with, was just wondering if there was a better way.

Ingvarr

I asked a question in the gaffer vs. duct tape thread that went unanswered by the people who had brought up Gorilla Tape. So umm, I guess bump. I bought a roll of Gorilla tape and have done a couple of swords with it. Being thicker and more stiff than duct tape, I have trouble getting it to lay down...
