I understand that, I'm just interested in seeing it.

Ingvarr

I would be interested in seeing pictures. I'm trying to come up with a time occupier since it looks like 7-8 months until I fight again. Was thinking of doing an A&S project on Danelaw style Viking fishing techniques. Some lures, hooks, and line, a fish trap, a net (or maybe I'll scrap the A&S and o...

Ingvarr

Ny BjÃ¶rn, Is there any written documentation on either of these lures? Not just where they were found but probable construction techniques. Everyone, Opinions on how these were probably made would be appreciated. Might they have been cast or is it more likely that they were formed from flat stock? ...

I would shoot him an email Bro. Logan although if he's at FP tonight I'll ask him.

Can I interest you in a nice arming cap sort of thing? Seriously though, I thought you were early period, whatcha trying to fit in with the xivvers for?

Ingvarr

Based on what I found pricewise after asking the question, you were right in doing so. I knew it was expensive but daaaaamn! I've got a guy here locally that I was talking about lamellar with last fighter practice who is interested in rectangulr pieces like this. I'm sure that he will be interested ...

Would the laser cut titanium?

Don't get or can't afford?

Yeah, that pretty much ended it for me too.

Congratulations

Ingvarr

What style? Do you have any pictures? Same price for all sizes or do us fat boys get ganked?

Ingvarr

Let's see...

Wife, check.
Daughter, check.
Christmas, check.
Broke, take a check?

OK, maybe not that broke. I'll be out of this quickly but for now, $30.

Ingvarr

Thanks John, payment recieved, transfer pending. I'll try to get it out before next Friday It's none of my business but that seems pretty crappy to me. He bought it as a gift for his son. Given the time of year, I would presume a Christmas gift. He paid you promptly, and you are going to "try" to s...

You're making an army of robot ninjas aren't you? I can neither confirm nor deny that, but hypothetically, if that were the case, then the "list of people who need to be acted upon to maintain the secrecy of the project" just became populated. Thomas, same theory here from What I can find although ...

taped my fingers, the one is still real sore and won't bend all the way and it's a lil puffy. But i got by, it's not really bruised anymore either. I think i'll be ok.

So no broken finger....wheeeewww

Haven't read this thread for a bit. Glad it's not a break.

Ingvarr

I read the title and thought this was a thread about Viking wimmins.

Ingvarr

James, That was freaking hilarious. "Mercy? Mercy? Mercy? You want mercy? I'm Chaotic Neutral!"

I really like the idea of doing it as a ladder tourney personally. Being at the bottom end of the skill level currently, my tournamet enthusiasm might be tough to keep up if I just walk out, get whacked, and am eliminated quickly every month. With the ladder system though, I would constantly have go...

Unfortunately it's one of those. It would make it a lot easier to get advice if it wasn't.

Ingvarr

Thanks guys. Sounds like the initial tooling for MIM is pretty cost prohibitive for me at this time. I'm in no way married to the idea of stainless although I would like the look of it. Even considered shiny plated plastic briefly but it's lighter and far cheesier than I want. Possibly plating on so...

I've rarely communicated directly with him although I have read a lot from him and can honestly say that the world is a lesser place this evening. I wish my best for his family in their time of grief.

Ingvarr

I was so much hoping for someone to come along and say, "That's what I do for a living all day, everyday. Here are the answers to every question you might possibly ever have." Now I have to do my own footwork. Oh well.

any cattle turn up dead?

I heard something about some livestock that turned up anally probed but it was probably just a baaad rumor.

After leaving the gaming table, one of his kids spent all his time staring mindlessly at his video game console So D&D is a right and proper way to spend time and console/PC gaming isn't. Sounds like you have the same biases as your family member, just with different targets. Console gaming is as v...

You might try shooting him a PM here.

That looks really cool.

I'm guessing it was a finger screwup trying for polishing.

Appearance is actually my main priority, strength is probably tertiary at best.

A quick search didn't turn up the site I was looking at last night but here's a similar one.

Not an armour question per se but does anyone have any experience with injection molded metals in general, stainless in particular. I know the basic process. What I am mostly interested in right now is, doe injection molded stainless for the most part look like forged stainless? Can anyone give me a...

keltyck, you want the face too? Ya gots ta get the face

Ingvarr

I can imagine. There are more things that I want from you. Unfortunately the money's not there at the moment. Hopefully after the first of the year, possibly before but unlikely.

Ingvarr

That's a joke by the way. Not a chance I'm cancelling it although it's going to be a while before I need it due to the knee. It's been posted to the Atenveldt list.

Ingvarr

I guess this would be a bad time to tell you that I'm cancelling my gorget.

Ingvarr

Those would look spiffy in Atenveldt blue and yellow. Mind if I cross post this to the Atenveldt list?

My ancestors in Scotland were not mud covered fur wearing cave men during the middle ages as so often is depicted in movies like Highlander. I never meant to imply that was the case. 14th Century as a whole is pretty obscure to me on its own, much less any specific region during the 14th. I wasn't ...
