Thought it was interesting.

I appologize for my tone and for pissing you off. Mornings and posting don't always work out well for me. It wasn't intended as an attack but in rereading it I can see it being taken as such. That aside, in rereading both the post that I quoted, and your explanation, it still sounds to me like you a...

But - you might expect a little different level of response when the letter is coming from someone known to everyone on the Board, met them all face-to-face, talked to them on the phone. And not in an adversarial position, nor as a supplicant. My wife was the Society Seneschale. And I couldn't get ...

Ingvarr

Maeryk, it sounds like you are confusing Insurance and Waivers. Two very different things.

They also take light cut to the face in Atenveldt, something to remember when visiting. Artemisia is the same, light thrust to the face and lighter hit to the face is considered a kill, since by SCA standards we are supposedly wearing open faced helms :) Max Max has the right of it. By kingdom stan...

When/where are you doing the class?

Ingvarr

Get a lightscribe burner and do them yourself.

You know, there's not a whole lot of difference between psychic and psycho . Actually the finger gauntlet thing worked out so well I figured the mail was worth a shot in case this was some kind of magic genie for Ingvarr thread. Obviously isn't though. I've been wondering lately if it might be econo...

Now I'm just waiting for that time in the not too distant future when you announce the Stonekeep wedge riveted mail.

Hell, it worked once.

Who leaked out that info????
I know of only three people that even know...

Mike...Put me first on the list!

After me! And probably those other three.

I would guess that there would be groups aplenty in the Dallas area which is right on the edge of your range. <offtopic>Do me a favor. There's a place called Papa's in Bosier City. Have a muffeletta and some bread pudding for me. You probably won't come close to finishing the pudding. You will proba...

You can find some pretty good examples here. He's definitely got a knack for it.

I currently do it in the evenings before bed. It seems to work out pretty well.

Ingvarr

Like this?

Check here.

Ingvarr

That would be a yep. What's the base price on those?

Ingvarr

No, I didn't know there was a tool making class. When is it? I'm definitely interested.

Ingvarr

Bah. Oh well, thanks for the time and response.

I would be more surprised to find out that was the case than to find out that his authentic holy relics were made in China.

Ingvarr

Wow, that's a whole lot like I just asked about in the other thread. How much would those run?

Ingvarr

Just curious. Back when I bought the elbow cops from you, you said that when you got back to being able to pound steel you could make me a pair of ultra-low profile elbows. Would it be possible to do some rotating vambrace arms with low profile fanless cops for some uber-flexible uber-stealth crunch...

I have no idea if it helped Troggie at all but you put what other people have told me into a form that makes it make sense to me. Several things clicked for me when I read you post and I thank you for it.

I'm not sure if they're as large or as good an overall resource as the Armour Archive, but these guys always talk like they know about relics.

I'm guessing Ibn Fadlan stopped for some curry on his way to hang out with the Rus and picked the Buddha up in a gift shop. After the Rus destroyed the tribe of neanderthal Grendels he gave it to the Rus to remind them to calmly not share cleaning vessels among themselves. One of the Rus regifted it...

Ingvarr

There was A buddha statue found, not multiples of them. It is IIRC believed to be northern Indian in origin, not Chinese and all it definitively shows is that a Swede had contact with someone who had contact with India (although the chain of someones could be longer or shorter). Well there are finds...

My understanding is that you're not eligable to receive awards unless you are a paid member. That could just be Atenveldt though, or it could be wrong.

Read the marshall's handbook, learn the rules. Go to fighter practice, learn to fight. Talk to the local marshall about when you are ready to authorize. Show that you ⋅ know the rules ⋅ are not a danger to yourself ⋅ are not a danger to others ⋅ know how to de...

Ingvarr

hmm...260 views so I'm guessing nobody is interested in making these, but just in case it was missed by anyone I'll give it one weekday bump.

Ingvarr

Wow. Those are beautiful but a whole lot nicer than I'm looking for on this project. I just realized that I forgot to attach my sketch last night.

I'm trying to find someone who might be interested in making some different than usual bosses. They are basically a 7" diameter deepish boss with an attached handle and a double flange. I am attaching a quick sketch that I did that is hopefully fairly clear. I will want one or two in the next f...

Well, we decided against the drive to Yuma today but word is starting to filter down the lists. It seems that Sir Morgan Crusadene Claymore went undefeaed and beat Sir Keigan Broussard in the finals.

Ingvarr

At Estrella, I picked up my gorget as well as one I got made for my nephew from Torvaldr. The quality and general awesomeness are what I expected based on my Torvaldr gauntlets. The fit is even better. I've never had a gorget on that didn't make me feel like I was being choked until this one. There ...
