You can buy CF sheet with the resin pre-impregnated. You simply give it heat and pressure to get it working. You'd just need an oven big enough for your shield that you can pressurize to around 100psi.

Haven't even got the last batch hung yet, but I am in for 1 or 2. It'll be a kite style this time.

Ps, as a review, 5's across the board. Price, product, communication (including a few phone calls) and rush to deliver before Pennsic were all as expected and more.

Heck, it is widely accepted that Lance Armstrong would not have been *as good* as he was, had he NOT had cancer. From what I've read, getting cancer allowed him to lose a lot of weight he would (likely) otherwise not have lost. That weight allowed him to perform at a level he had previously never a...

Only if it covers your chin. I bought one (used) that doesn't fit my face. If it did, the rest of the spec seems to be just fine.

Talked to the wife about it, we'll take the shield.

If Hjlmr wants the arms, I can hold onto them till I run north (18th or so?) Or he runs down

...First off, what I have heard as the 'An-Tir way' is to make fists with both hands and press the fists together (both forearms make a straight line). The distance from elbow to elbow is the width of your center grip round shield.... Fist to fist, elbow to elbow. We had a guy who was trying to poi...

My wife gets lines like "you are actually throwing a good offside". To the point that she's noted, if the compliment has the word "actually" in it, it's not a compliment.

If so, are there any cultural things that I should be aware of? Arm hunting is discouraged in An Tir. Overly crowding one's opponent while they're on their knees is also discouraged. Traditionally the Seattle practice has been rather "high end." Not sure what it's like these days. -Derian...

I had an overly long transaction. Communication was mostly OK, but would occasionally take a second or third try to get a reply. My shoes were eventually shipped 3 or so weeks after the initial order. He threw in an extra pair to make up for the delay. That was awesome. When the order arrived, the o...

alginate it fairly commonly used. It's easier to work than plaster. You use bandages similar to using plaster though.

they are fixable no matter what happened to them. I have fixed five so far. mostly from hilt blockers who cracked the side plates from blocking exceptionally hard shots over and over. That would be me, twice And for the record, the only question was "How the?!?!?" Both of the plates I cra...

I have a buckler blank that I got from Sir Thorfin (here on the archive) that I added a handle (3/4" conduit pounded flat) and a shield boss. I haven't had any issues with it and his prices are great.

too bad, I had heard his quality was really good I've had no problem with his quality. For the record, neither did I. I had ordered a set of shoes for my wife and I. It ended up getting "lost in the email" a few times. What we finally got was an extra pair of shoes thrown in for the troub...

Looks like you're wolfpack. If you can get it to Ian (I am presuming that he'd headed down) that would work for me. This is Pain/Fritz btw.

iirc in my civic (94) I could drop the rear seat and the spears fir from veru back to front (tip in the trunk)

Give me an idea how much you want for the shield boss. I will be at Coronation this weekend down in Portland if you're going.

I would recommend knitebee on here. I have yet to post my review on the brasswork that he did for me, but it was quite nice, and his pricing was very good.

Talk to your ISP then. I am betting that they changed some configs on the mailserver that is hitting a spam limit on the MS servers. Are you getting the hotmail bounce spam notifications as well? They should be able to point you (or your ISP tech) in the right direction. They can be slow though, so ...

Payn

if you run your own mailserver, you might want to check that you haven't been hacked. Alternatively, if you are hosted on a webhost that owns a block of ip ranges, they might have blocked that. This is all assuming that it has worked before with them.

I run a separate thin belt that I tie my hosen to when fighting. Over the brais, under the tunic.

Panasonics are very good for the price.
Canon are regularly my favorites. The a1000 IS is near that same price.
