I don't know much about modern welders. But I do know a bit about forge welding, and I support this.Chris Gilman wrote:No!!!!!
The last thing your welder wants is something contaminating the weld area.
Except for as a flux, which modern machines may not need. Don't contaminate the weld.

Re: WTB/T Useable Drinking Horn
It took me a few minutes to realize that you probably meant a D&D costume instead of a Dare Devil costume.
I'm sitting here going, but DD's horns are really small, and part of his costume. This makes no sense.

SCA clacker weapons
I'm building my first "clacker" style weapon. The regs were a bit ambiguous.
Which is the proper method? I'm in Atlantia, so it should be society minimum standards.

Re: Hockey Puck on Polearm?
If I recall, nothing that can reasonably be expected to strike the face of your opponent can protrude more than 1/2 inch or be less than 1 1/4 wide.
Therefore, it would fall into the realm of "the marshal
looking at the weapon and using best judgement".

A few questions...
Is the padding aligned in the same way as the coif, horizontal channels across the chest and back?
Does it have a collar and is the collar padded the same way?
How far does it reach, shoulder to shoulder?
Thank you.
