If I understand correctly, Brodir has padding at the top of the helmet -- a padded skullcap of sorts -- and it's only the sides and back that aren't padded.. I'd reccomend that you pad it in such a way that it doesn't hit your gorget. That just doesn't sound safe. But don't worry about the sides and...

Brodir -- thanks for the compliment, but the device hasn't passed yet. Apparently wyverns and dragons are considered to be the same monster by the heralds, which causes a conflict with 2 entities, one of which is a barony... sigh. I am planning on getting letters of permission.

You can get fiberglass for spears from Mandrake, I payed around $36 for 9 feet this weekend.

Since all the leaves are at slightly diferent ...

Ok, so there we have two "first contact" accounts -- one from Gilbert and one from Jareth -- that are exactly opposite -- and they are about the SAME practice!

Waldryk?

Hi guys,
A friend of mine who is new to the SCA wants to buy a relatively nice helmet to start fighting in. He was thinking of ordering one from Waldryk, but I seem to recall that this armourer, though an excellent craftsman, had some trouble meeting deadlines and such. Is this true?
