AHHHHHH!!!!!!

That is blatant alcohol abuse my friend.

Now repeat after me...
I am sorry.

I was temporarily insane.

I will never use vodka for anything that does not require a glass!!!

sarnac

I dont know who that is, but I wouldnt kick her out of my Yurt!!!!!

sarnac

I would be but the pic you sent me didnt work.

They will be shipping out the plates to me via UPS on Monday or Tuesday depending when they get the rest of the money. Shipping is indeed another issue. It is going to cost me $50 just to get all the plates here, which eats up almost all the cash I had you guys send for shipping (except one person w...

If I see a pic of the pauldrons I might purchase them.

Now that Alan is done being humble... Get on his list. Regardless of the wait, this man does some of the best work in the known world. I purchased a helm from him, and even though it was 1 1/2 months over the delivery date it was worth every minute of waiting and fit like a glove. His attention to d...

I just finished making a combat archery crossbow for my wife and I want to find out how heavy the pull is.
It is an 11 inch power stroke with a 100 lb prod if any one knows the calculations please post them.

I am looking for a smallish but tough belt pouch to carry my ID and Cards on the fiueld at War.

sarnac

Got an email from the shop today and the plates are done. They also made 3490 instead of the 3200 I ordered so if they are going to make me pay for the extra I might have some extra to sell off after everyone gets theirs. They are sending me a total for the least expensive shipping (sorry guys cash ...

sarnac

Um....
I do not even see a link for the pic

WTF???

sarnac

Could you get me a better pic of the helm and a price as I may be interested in it.

And that 22 in. is 22 in plus padding right??

sarnac

This is a good one for SCA armour

sarnac

why am I not surprised...

sarnac

Well Norman, I am trying to compare what we consider to be a Knighting Ceremony in the SCA with what actually occured in period.

sarnac

There are a great number of people out there who I consider friends who probably dont remember my real name. In the SCA I am Ld. Sarnac Kir, People know by that name and, like Gundo, I am proud of the reputation I have built under that name. There are many who I talk to who would not know that Sarna...

If you are interested in splitting up the set for the legs, I would be interested in talking about the Pauldrons.

Any one who has ever fought in a large melee knows that if you are one of the first people to break through a shield wall or line of defense, the last thing you usually see is a guy with a greatsword and a big smile.

sarnac

Well in my Martial Arts class, my Insructor will sometimes do that in order to judge range if fighting more than one opponent with a long weapon such as a spear or staff.

Have we sunk so low......

Sometimes I feel like this a futile effort....

In the SCA I have seen Knights made on the battlefield, a "drive-by" as it was called..
And I have seen them made in Court after a vigil.

Which is closer to the truth?
Which is closer to the way it was actually done?

sarnac

DO you have a dress dummy for sewing?? If you do, you could do it the way I made my wife's. I made the breast and back plates and connected them at the shoulders. Then soaked them in the tub until they were saturated (about 3 or 4 hours). I put a plastic bag over the dress dummy as not to ruin it, a...

Is it just for sale in the US???
There is only one Gun dealer here in Windsor and he doesnt carry it.
I need it to blacken this helm I am making.

Damn it why did I move to Canada!?!?!?!

Wait...I remember...
Better beer, prettier girls and that whole "got married thing"

sarnac

I understand that but the one before this closed bidding at $535 or so...
When you add shipping, buying a new one would actually be cheaper.

Also someone told me that some moving pads have an asbestos filling

Tim: If you ask 30 Knights and 30 Squires that question, you will get 60 different answers. The relationship between the two is as different and personal as each want it to be. For myself and my Knight, I promised to uphold his honor and represent him to the best of my ability, to continue to fight ...

Hobbs- No the bow is for left-handed people
(who are by far the superior of the two..)
So if you are right handed the rest will be on the wrong side.

There are three pics here:

I dont know about anyone else but I personally saw two broken ankles and a broken leg last year alone, I also saw two different people have bounce back injuries at Pennsic last year.
I can get a cast for my leg...
If I lose an eye....that is permenant

Someone asked earlier about what it means to be a Sqiure and what the relationship between A Squire and their Knight should be... I have a question for the Chiv.. After being squired, the relationship goes forward in stages, as we all know. From basic training, to advanced training, then to grooming...

Juliana- I would like introduce any male fighter who thinks that women cant fight to my friend Joceyln. She is one of the finest fighters I have ever seen and can hold her one with ANYONE, male or female. She is quite an inspiration to my wife who is training to fight right now, after 12 years in th...

Anyone know how to measure crossbow lbs??

I am sorry, but this is pathetic!!

Which is the more "TRUE" knighting ceremony?

Black Magic...where????

A question for the Chivalry who frequent this board...
