Their vertical bar open-faced visor for SCA heavy combat, and their perforated visor for SCA fencing/Cut-and-thrust and whatever else you'd li...

Where are you located? If you can make it to Little Rock, then please come by our practices on Tuesdays and Sundays and you can learn from and fight with Duke Jon, Sirs Vebrand and Martin, and myself - or some combination thereof - most days. Along with some other quality fighters. We have a syllabu...

You have Thaden Armory on there, but I thought Patrick Thaden had given up armoring. You should add Reconstructing History for sewing patterns. Upon deeper analysis, his ORDER page does say that Thaden is no longer accepting orders. Can folks confirm that? Hate to leave him off if he should be on.....

Hey all: PLEASE note that the "commissions" category is NOT derogatory and the "in-stock" category is NOT necessarily complementary. Folks can have a bunch of standardized manufactured crap in-stock, and other folks can churn out outstanding custom stuff really reliably and quickly. However, as many...

Hi Max. Thanks for having me on the list. Would it be possible for me to be taken off the commission list and added to the Instock one? I only sell pre made armor and items now. Hal Hal: Do you want to be on the list? Are you making armoring tools or sabotons or the like? If so, what web presence s...

(Also James River is on the list twice )

Do you have a website or web presence for Man on Anvil? I couldn't find one.

Thanks!

Do you have a link that works? That one is incomplete and doesn't.

Thanks!

Cet: Do you have a website working? When I went to your site it didn't seem to be fully functional, which is why I left it off.

I know you were up with Brick recently, so I know you're armoring, I just didn't know how actively.

Thanks!

The Society Earl Marshal, with support of the Principal Kingdom Earl Marshals, was going to sanction the Tuchux by pulling all auth cards 30 days before Pennsic and reinstating them 30 days after Pennsic. Apparently he had Board approval, the edict was going to be released, some Kingdom players got...

I dig. This is just working off my general knowledge of folks and what I've heard and seen about 'em... but if you have a number of standard products for which you are in a manufacture-and-stock mode of operation, then can-do. But I don't want to list folks who occasionally produce "random" pieces w...

Hey, all: I realized there are no current lists anywhere of the decent SCA merchants and/or armourers that are still actively selling in the SCA (and related groups). So I put together the following list from what I could find both from my own (not insignificant) personal experience with Merchants a...

As I stated before it was a thrust, and not an excessive one. I can confirm as a participant and um... eye witness. Thanks for clarifying, John!

Were I looking for any leatherwork or leather armor of quality and artistry, my first stop would be Jotunn Leather. Their work is excellent, they'll bust their butts to get it to you, and they are people of quality and worth. Make sure you reach out to them for any leatherwork you need. You won't be...

Just for the record, I would suggest that you can push an 1.25" foam tip through an open face grill more easily than 2" tip (even with a one-handed weapon - though of course one-handed thrusts tend to have less force than two-handed thrusts... but a one-handed push works it's way in just as easily a...

Knowing the Princes of the Middle (former man at arms), East (household brother), and Atlantia (fellow Knight), I don't think any decisions have been made yet.

I was on site at BAM and while not directly involved with the incident, did hear directly that the tip was waterlogged (as in water released like a sponge when squeezed).

Unfortunately, it looks like we won't be able to be on site until an hour or three after the Deed was scheduled to begin.

Personally, I would suggest that the Board has NOT decided to take away anybody's Madu, and that there appears to have been a wrong version sent to be published on the website somewhere along the document transfer chain.

There was a Duke in a Western Kingdom who I was told won both of his Crowns with a tank of O2 he'd take hits from on the side of the field between fights. Wasn't there, so don't know the veracity of the story... but I suppose that would be an example.
