Re: Sword (2) for sale.
Everything looks right, but it is well over a kilogram. Why is it so heavy?

Foxknife closing down
Six years ago, I made a rattan sword that I was proud of and decided to make more of them, both for the joy of it and as a way to fund my SCA activities when every penny I earned was being spent on family living expenses. In the years since, I started a good job that requires that I work 60 hours a ...

Re: Rattan Molding Tips
And the one of reasons two of us have recommended the same Facebook group is that Sir Ustad has posted some how-to guides in the files section.

Bands on the knees
I an looking at several effigies from around 1340 and they all show a small pointed knee cop with some type of band under it. Can anyone explain what I am looking at (and possibly show me some reproductions)? http://1.1.1.4/bmi/www.themcs.org/churches/Norfolk/Elsing%20-%20St%20Mary%20the%20Virgin/20...

Do you have any pictures of a coat of plates from that period with that kind of waist? Most of the examples I have seen have been faintly barrel-shaped.

Perhaps you can tell us what time and place you were thinking of, and we can either point to appropriate examples or suggest that you have a different idea.

Does your marshal's gauge have one of these slots? It should.

Our discussion would have been a lot sho...

My default size is a one and one half inch long and one inch wide stadium shape (two half circles on a rectangle). It is a beefier shape than an ellipse to add strength to the rattan.Greyholt wrote:Could you give me the exact dimensions of the central openings on these? Thank you very much!
