Asbjorn,

Contact me off list after Pennsic...

I am trying to put something together for next year that we could tie that in with.

sarnac

Its been my experience that many people treat the first week of pick ups as a practice...as they are not sanctioned and marshaled fighting...so I am not sure they could....but I am not sure they couldnt.

Email Duke Sir Palymar, the MIC for Pennsic and ask.

sarnac

ok.....I am just a non reading idiot....

sorry.

sarnac

it WAS a rhetorical question............

best of luck at Pennsic

Flonzy,

Thanks... I am putting an under layer of Muslin on before the canvas to "seal" the wood....so I am going to water down the glue a bit to facilitate the soaking process...

Then use barge cement to clue the canvas to the muslin covering.

Jeff,

Do you water down the carpenters glue at all to get it to spread and soak in better?

I am finishing up covering the prototype bazuaband in velvet with black suede edging... they look great.

As soon as I get back from the event this weekend...I will take a pic and post it.

sarnac

Both those books are very good....

also try

March of the Barbarians by Harold Lamb

a bit older but still some good info

or

The Mongol Warlords by David Nicolle

but double check his facts....some say he is prone to embellishment.

sarnac

There was a thread a while where a person from an fairly early period Scottish living history group posted some pictures....

They were quite nice and very accurate....any one still have that link?

Thanks

sarnac

Damn it....I will be out of town that weekend....

If you are looking for other techniques that translate over to SCA two weapon fighting... Guru Dan Inosanto's book on Kali and Escrima has alot of drills and technique that carries over with a little tweaking.
