Hello all,

We have launched a web show that plays on youtube and google video called The Modern Medieval.

The premis is this; "The show that explores and explains medieval combat, arts and sciences, the concepts of chivalry and how it applys to the modern day."

Our first episode is up and is about the pell, it's history and constuction.

Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZkLtvZXEsQ

Hope you enjoy them and subscribe to the channel. You can look for them every two weeks. Thank you.

Before I run off and look Is this an "SCA" oriented show or a 'general-recreation' type show?

It's a medieval history and modern interpritation show. As authentic as our research allows and a lot of practical application. Hope you enjoy it.

Gemini

Have you thought about doing this as a podcast? I'd love to watch, but I'm on a ship that blocks youtube, and all other video sites. I could download a podcast.

I will put a podcast up by tomorrow and post the link for you here. Thank you for your intrest!

Gemini

You gotta a paypal account that I can donate to?

Thank you Vitus. We will have a web page up soon and may include one for better equipment but for right now we are just really excited to be doing the show.

If you have any sugestions for future episodes please send them to me @ modernmedieval@gmail.com

Spoiler alert! The next show will be on the history and consrtuction of a practice cudgel. Weights and measures of actual blades. and of course some more things that make me insane about movies with some more suprises.

Thanks for checking it out!

Gemini

Really, set up an account for these projects.

This is the coolest thing, and I think alot of people would klike to help keep it going.

Nicely done. I think I'm going to try your pell design.

I wish I had seen this before I built my last pell. Good stuff. When is the next episode?

We will be doing episodes every two weeks. Thanks. Glad you like it.

Cant find the facebook page


How about putting all the links in your sig file?


So far it looks great!

OK. will do.

Thank you,

Gemini

Also make sure to put the links to your different groups/feeds into the description on the youtube clips as well.

The more places you put that stuff the better the likelyhood they will use it.

A blog page with stills that recap some of the things like Pell Design wouldnt be bad either.

Sir Gemini,
Thank you so much....the part about the pages..I needed the laugh. Already set this to my favorites so i can keep up with this. Thanks.

I have had the pleasure of meeting you some years ago at a Gulf Wars. BTW tell Mari congrats.

Till another episode,

Sir Gemini, I really like the vid was funny and informative...I think you really need to cut the caffenne on your pages though...Seemed a bit overly active...

I made my pell out of a 14" tire with a 4x4 concreted it...No chance of me knocking it over....My buddy did his like yours and it seems to flop over with type of blow with any authority...

(edited to add one that goes directly to his FB page this time... )

LOL.. thanks Eamonn..

My original pell was a concreted tire with a 4x4 and carpet 6 foot tall, I could knock it over with flat snaps. Now I use a wave master XXL it rocks a little but won't go over. I also do not recommend hitting the pell hard 3/4 max IMO.

Sir Gemini,
Nice video, well done.
Do you have any documentation on what a they would use on campaign.
I could not see them taking extra training weapons on the road with them? Just curious.

Be well brother.

Yeah, be sure to post them all in one thread so we can watch them as you make 'em.

I'm not posting here just to bookmark this thread. Nope, not at all.

As promised I have the show up on itunes in podcast form. Search "DeGrendelus" or "The Modern Meidieval" and it will come up and as of this morning it's ready for download.

Thank you for getting me on that track as well!

Sir Gemini,

Great show! I am going to make that pell next week, the tree in my backyard is getting tired!

Sir Gemini,

Great videos, I subscribed to your youtube channel.

In the very first part of the pell episode, you have some fechtbuch illustrations showing a Roman soldier going at the pell. Do you remember what book they are from and is it online? I've seen the images before but forgot to bookmark them.

Thanks!

Good stuff!

Verra cool.

Nicely done, and greatly appreciated. I look forward to further installments.

WOW, Awesome, Thanks!!!
