I'm gathering that Uther's buffets are legendary... -- Andreas, n00b From his address at Estrella, I think that they might be better described as epic. I've always been about the biggest person wherever I am. I met HRM Uther at Estrella. He's got me by a few inches and based on his handshake, the s...

Instead of starting a new thread, I'll post a different suggestion in this one. What about an "I want to see a..." forum to go along with the "I want to be a..." Seems like every couple of months there is a "show me your camp (14thC armour, most bestest soft kit, whatever)&q...

Does any of it have sizes?

Ingvarr

that's because he said these blows will be your last unanswered. does anyone have that photo of uther's latest buffet? judging from the picture, it was worth at least three buffets from any lesser man. you could see the shockwave on the other side of the proud recipient's face. http://forums.armour...

I have sung upon the field of battle. I have danced as well.... In fact, we had a full brigade singing and dancing "Staying Alive" while waiting for the enemy to reach us in an entrenched position. The really troubling thing about that is that you have a full brigade that know the lyrics ...

The address on the website says that he's out of Houston. I've heard good things about his products I just can't get a response from him. Was kind of hoping that someone knew him and could let me know if something was up.

Does anyone know the guy who runs Find-it Armory? I've been unsuccessfully trying to get in touch with them via email.

You could do a Landmark Battle 21&40 vs 30&50

It would be cool if someone at the event were "running book" on the fight to get local donations involved. Might be harder to coordinate, for that matter, there might be legal issues.

Thats 3 rigs i have to have for Pennsic.

:roll:

How unMurdockish. You should shoot for 4 rigs. Fight Crusader for the Open field and Saracen for the Castle.

Ingvarr

That is truly a thing of beauty. I wish it were currently within my means to bid.

I hate to say this but cite. James is showing pictures above of cloth stopping arrows. Are you saying that mail can't stop an arrow but cloth can?

Ingvarr

Glad you like it. For that matter since my wife did the shipping and had two packages, I'm glad you got the right one. I noticed on receipt that either my wife or the shipping place were off on their initial quote so I owe you a couple of bucks. Been meaning to send you some all week but it has trul...

Your Grace,

My post was intended as a joke not an actual suggestion.

Ingvarr

Odi- Based on my reading, and on what others have posted from period descriptions, the bow in general use c. 1100 AD was pretty ineffective against the knight of the same period wearing his full harness. (Effectiveness vs. his horse is a different situation.) M. Perhaps a new rule set for combat ar...

My wife POPPED on Saturday; A healthy 8lb. 7oz. little boy. Everyone is well,were just trying to adjust to the new mouth in the house. Congratulations. There have been a couple of girls born here recently, you should hook him up. You should also start a thread in Off Topics and give us some pictures.

I would be proud to be the owner of a beautiful piece such as that. I would be completely unbearable if I were the maker.

Ingvarr

I would pop him an email with the question.

Ingvarr

From what I've seen, if he doesn't have it in stock (which is rare in itself) his turnaround time is about 15 minutes.

Ingvarr

Riejckaert, don't forget how the English invented the longbow and could kill anyone regardless of armour worn from miles out.

How much would a sheet 12"x60" run?

Ingvarr

Cool, thanks.

Ingvarr

Just out of curiosity, what do your shields weigh in comparison to a plywood shield? I looked around on your website but didn't find the info.

Many thanks,

Ingvarr

Ingvarr

Thanks. I found a similar place in my searching and the walking stick route is too expensive for me. $33 for 3'ish with the top shaved narrow and the blob on the top makes it a bit too high for what I need. I'm looking at hurdle suppliers although so far all I've found are finished hurdles from Engl...

You've got it.

Your link in that thread doesn't work. In fact, non of the links in that thread work.

Adriano, It's only $20 if you buy it solo.

Ingvarr

I'd love to have this for the shear Wangerian joy of it. if only my finances were a skosh more in order.

Ingvarr

Maybe my googlefu is just weak tonight but I am coming up short in my searching. I am looking for hazel rods(staffs, whatever) about 6ft long and 1 1/2" +/- 1/2" diamater. Does anyone have any leads?

Ingvarr

That came out truly gorgeous.
