Hello, Can anyone direct me to the supplier of the stuff you print on then use to mask metal for etching. I am ready to try the saltwater/battery etching technique. I wanted to do something detail and my sharpie marker is not working. Thank you. Hal have you thought about dykem/dychem however it's ...

well, I managed to get almost all of the bundles wrapped with shrink wrap, I still have 7 or so that need corner guards taped on. after that I will be ready to take them to the drop off.

Perhaps this has been pointed out and I missed it, but has anyone considered that you do not need to strap and unstrap cuisses to don and doff them? Could not the laces be just an adjustment and there was no need to lace or unlace them once they where fit. To your knowledge, in period did they poin...

I'll describe these as best I can - a long time ago I had (subsequently sold) a set of full leather arms. Think of a regular set of leather arms with steel elbows, then add articulated lames all the way up the shoulder, with a strap that buckled under the opposite armpit. Anybody still make those? ...

Josh, No need to delete the post -- I think the core of your concern led to a number of good discusion points.

Thank you Sha-ul, it was a fun project to do. Do you think $150.00 would be a starting point for an auction on the classifieds? I have never sold a dagger before. I have no idea what they are worth. I just know I spent about 12 hours building it. I guess if anything it would make a cool tent stake....

Hey, I finally found an OK pic of my current kit! I'm the guy in green in the back... In the next few months, I'll be replacing the boots (masked to look like period shoes) with something more of a period profile (not a ankle boot). I'll also make a new sword and add a scabbard. http://i155.photobu...

The ball was welded on the back half only.
A little grind and file work cleaned it up.

Hummm... I wonder if I could get anything for it on the classifieds?

that turned out very nice

Hal, would you mind shooting a couple closeup shots of the ball to blade attachment, as I am curious as to how you made it work.

That went very well. Mongrel Slimedog is a fine fellow. He's a lot younger than I expected. He's fast, strong, in good shape, and worse yet--a lefty . His enthusiasm for the game is infectious, though, and was just what I've been needing to get my kit back together and drag my tired, lazy ass back ...
