The Official "I'm interested in barter" thread

[Corbin Ravenwood]

I get on here every now and then. Very few people post on here anymore and fewer response to their posts.

[Valstarr Hawkwind]

well, a couple of folks are responding, which probably means several more are reading, just not posting.

[Ledermann]

Yes, people are looking but not responding. ONLY NEW POSTS OR UPDATES PLEASE!!! If everyone pointlessly sounded off again, it would make this thread even more cumbersome to navigate. It's already stickied, so there's no need to bump it. If you want to trade, private message someone.

[Michael Spaulding]

Michael does-
high end chainmaille jewelry - Everything from simple stainless steel earring drops to extravagant sterling silver multi-tier wedding necklaces
Brace Horn nock, fletching wrapped, bodkin tipped Medieval arrows - These take me FOREVER but I put my soul into these arrows. You couldn't ask for better.
Tight, consistent, uniform naalbinding - I'm very good at it, but new, so keep the designs simple. Socks, mittens, hats. Could try a sweater, but expect it to take a year

Michael needs (in order of importance) -
Simple leather boots - Let me know what you've got
Poundo board, leather punches, leather shears etc. - Leather working gear. I've got enough to get me started, but looking for more
Garb - cloaks, shirts, pants, embrodiery work. I will always be searching for more garb for myself, wife and kids.
Audiophile gear - High end headphones, speakers, desktop amps/dacs
Anything for my band - Specifically interested in PA set components, cymbals, and guitar/bass effect pedals.
Offers - If I've got what you're looking for, let me know and I'm sure we can work out a trade with what you've got.

I look forward to hearing from you!
Michael

Baron Conal is interested in

12th and 14th Cen stainless welded or riveted maile,
14th Cen accessories
14th Cen cookware
14th century stainless armor (more period correct forms than I have now )

I've been doing more woodworking again, decided to bump this back up the list for more visibility
( but only because it was the very first barter post )

Making sawdust is being very therapeutic.

[Vedardottir]

Vedardottir DOES:
Sewing: mostly Viking tunics/Thorsberg trousers/cloaks, capes, and hoods. With measurements and reference materials I can make just about anything early period.
Embroidery and applique: I'm an Art Herald. Send me a picture of what you want, and I can work it in fabric or leather.
Leatherwork: Simple belts, bracers, pouches, quivers, bags.
Painting: Shields and such. Please note that I am good with drawing and designing stylized figures and enlarging/shrinking images. If you want something photorealistic, I'm not up for that.

Vedardottir WANTS:
Hockey shin and knee protection that can be covered with leather.
More rattan to build weapons.
A helm with a lioness' head like Hercules' Helm--so really, blacksmithing lessons from an armorer.

[haaschnp]

I have:

Wargaming:
40x warhammer 40k space marine/space wolves unpainted
2x primed rhinos
Geigor Fell Hand- from Burning of Prospero set, unprimed, assembled

A mostly complete Axis and Allies board game from the 90s. (I say mostly complete because the box top is missing and some figures might possibly be missing.

legoes and some knock-offs. (a 1 lb bag goes for $12-15 on ebay; i have several medieval themed minis and pieces and several star wars themed pieces. There are some off brand star wars figures in there too, in case you are picky)

Several old german books of the theological nature:
Rathmann's Deutsche Perikopenbuch 1 and 2 ( a German Lutheran pericope)

Non theological

Wheel of Time series (I believe it is complete, first few books used, last few- brand new)


Want:

I'd take $ offers any anything above

Trade/looking for:

a 1200s appropriate gambeson
a 1200s appropriate SCA legal helm (prefer nasal helm, considering a crusader who fought in the Levant and ended up staying around in the Crusader states and/or hanging in the Byzantine Empire - would incorporate lamellar with chainmail...though might just go full Byzantine)

Knee and elbow cops - plain is fine.

possibly a gorget - again plain is fine.

[Jehan de Pelham]

I make 14th and 15th century English and French replica coins. I would be willing to trade at beneficial rates for quality medieval goods dating to the second half of the 14th century.

[Tancred de Lanvellec]

Looking for a period tent.
I have in trade a new, unfired replica of a Brown Bess by Veteran Arms

[LeonStar]

Leon Wander has: Nothing that would probably be of interest here.

Leon Wander wants: An armor set or sets that would satisfy all his artistic artdom in the geometric realm. Real Functionality and beauty are the same.

I dont know who to ask here to make an armor set and the clothes with it. Styles I like are gothic, maximillian, persianate, and there various fantasy offshoots.

[Konstantin the Red]

Leon Wander wants: An armor set or sets that would satisfy all his artistic artdom in the geometric realm. Real Functionality and beauty are the same.

That's the spirit!

I don't know who to ask here to make an armor set and the clothes with it. Styles I like are gothic, maximilian, persianate, and their various fantasy offshoots.

If Leon is blessed with a will of iron and the willingness to walk a rather long road step by step on his own feet, he can attain to all these by his own efforts. Hopefully we may guide his steps well...?

Well, there's also one's individual mix of available money and available time. Gothic and Maximilian cap-à-pie whiteharness built and tailored for its man goes for about the price of a new car, on the open market. Though there's no rule says it has to all be bought at once.

This won't be instant. Persian shapes (the char-aina torso armor, for instance) are the simplest of these three -- you'll see some crossover into Mogul stuff too, I think. Well, as much of it as India's muggy climate might allow.

I also say fear the cloth not! Cloth is just another material, and cutting and shaping it can be learned, as with any other material, working with its strengths and its weaknesses. A good many plain soldier boys were armed entirely in quilted cloth, save for some sort of helmet. Slightly fancier soldiers schlepped a little more metal. If you end up trying your own hand at tailoring, figure on making your arming-doublet quite snug in all the waist, down to the top of your hips, the pelvic crests, but with more ease about the shoulders and chest, gaining arm mobility there: enough ease there to allow you to slip your hand in between doublet and yourself easily; down around your waist, only with some difficulty. Expect to fasten it shut by laces spiraling up through eyelets, about like lacing a boot up -- and bootlaces make good lace-up cords. This is on account of all that metal that depends off a doublet. Really puts a load on it, even with careful weight budgeting. Plate armor for field campaigns adds up to a burden head to heel of forty to fifty pounds. Which is why fully armoured warriors rode horses. Armored infantry armed with halberds and bills and pikes, having to walk, probably maxed out at twenty-thirty pounds with helmet and breastplate both. And mostly didn't wear but some of that while marching, but suited up for combat, having brought a lot of it in on wagons and pack animals.

Meanwhile, might as well ask you to list what tools you've got. If you have exactly none, a reliable list of good tools to start getting (as you need them for specific tasks) can be found in Brian Price's Techniques Of Medieval Armour Reproduction, abbreviated TOMAR, which concentrates on fourteenth-century style armor, but makes for you the foundational skills to go on to create fifteenth-century stuff like you admire.

[J. Morgan Kuberry]

I can sew a basic 15th century doublet and hosen, or late 13th century tunic, braies, and chausses if someone can provide their rough dimensions. I'm also willing to sew relatively thin padded jacks and gambesons.

I am looking for (metal) poleaxes, swords, daggers, spear heads, handgonnes... also interested in simple skullcap helmets and other period infantry helms. Not SCA bargrill helms.
