Hey Mac, got any pics of the tallhoffer... let's call it "Fullswording"... uh... "blade"?

I have a wall tent as well (12x14x5). The way I set mine up was using conduit. With using junctures for the longer runs, I have no pole longer than 5 feet. This fits into the back of my VW Golf.

I bought my corner junctions from a local guy who sells them for 125 or so a set.

.. all the mitten gaunts i found for 115 were mild, not stainless. ill take 100 plus 10 shipping for the gauntlets, they are essentially brand new, they have seen less than 6 hours on the field. (too small for me too comfortably use)... Andy Ward still sells the Stainless ones at 115 as of my conve...

I paid 75 plus shipping for the last set. he still sells them on ebay for 115 plus 10 for shipping.

count this as my interest in the gaunts, pending price and sizing

I use an 18x25. Here's my wife's youtube channel. Anything with some variation of Pain is me. Whatever I do, don't do.

Greetings, I think it's left leg, tall with a 28" round... tempted to go 30" round. Try 26". . . Hjlmr inn Danski I've got an 18" if you guys wanna borrow one I usually get hit in the "everything". Although argument could be made that I hilt block a bit (recently broke...

In looking through the wallace catalog, I figured out (and later had confirmed) that the lengths mentioned for swords in the catalog are usually blade lengths. Many are in the 31"-33" range. Add around 4 inches for the hilt, and you should be in around 36". I can't remember where it's...

I tend to watch the throatish area.

Not staring at it, but my eyes pointed at it.

The bocksten tunic is a dead simple fairly ubiquitous pattern.

For the hosen attaching, different strokes for different folks. I use a separate belt that I tie my hosen to. Under my tunic, over my brais

I will attest for this design as well. I have never had any issues with this style of gaunt, and the thumbplate design has been my favorite. I fought poleweapon pretty exclusively for 6 years or so out here in AnTir and tended to block close to, or onto the hand, these were the most protective I cou...

The SCA's standards for hand armor are as follows: F. Hand and Wrist Armor The outer surfaces of the hand, to one inch above the wrist of both arms and including the thumb, must be covered by one or a combination of the following: 1. A rigid basket or cup hilt with enough bars or plates to prevent ...

Let me track down his email. I had a chat with him about Ti gaunts a few months back. He has been having a supply problem, but will build them if you supply the plate.

My halfswording bastard sword is all foam and rattan. For the crossbars, I split the rattan in half, shaved a half round in each side, as well as a slight bit of a dovetail in the stick itself, and put them back together, taping them to each other. I need to make another one soon. I will try to docu...

Is it possible to mix and match to get the 5? Or is it limited to the 3 and 2?

Thanks.

I picked the helm up a couple of days ago. It's pretty tough, I put it on a head cast & took a couple of shots at it. No ill effect. One shot to the side hit it on one of the claws (I know because it left a claw imprint on the stick) I just hit it with everything I had & it stung my hand. F...

Payn

You could add a plate for the area most commonly hit (above brow line on the head). If you put a lot of weight only high, the helmet can rock quite badly when hit high. You may want to add some weight low to counteract that.

mmm Gallows Hill

Maybe other people haven't had this problem, but I have a very hard time going up hills, most notably grassy ones, in my leather-soled Revival boots. We had an event locally once that had a decently steep hill between the fighting area and the camping area. My wife and I started carrying water bott...

On the insole front. I have always cheated and used modern insoles in my turnshoes (dru shoes btw). I am currently planning on a new pair, and will be using "Sole" insoles in them. They are a heat moldable insole with arch support. Of note, if you have poorly arched feet, these style of in...

I saw those during a windstorm of around 60-70mph. My old pavilion became a nice blanket. The Past Tents rounds were doing just fine. Battened down the hatches and they didn't move. iirc, they were just staked down, no windline.

I have captured Royalty twice at Antir/West war. First was capturing the King of Antir, He had sent me to fight with the West as the numbers were a bit disparate. He had a bit of an issue fighting with His guard, usually getting into a fight, then going off to find another one. I ended up with him i...

I wet the bottoms of the soles when I fight (rarely) in mine. The moisture helps with traction.

...Fact is, I have a sheet of 12 ga. hot rolled medium steel that's sitting there and rusting. I was saving it for greaves and bracers.... Yeah, 12g would be far better in a helmet than on your arms and lower legs. If it is a true 16 gauge, and it fits away from your head, you might be able to get ...
