We have 4 new fighters who are currently looking to build a starter kit. This is an awesome deal and a great starter kit so I have passed the message on to our fighter email list. With luck you'll be getting a few orders soon.

Do you ship to Canada?

kaolin

That's great! Based on that I would need a medium.

I ordered a belt knife from Ironbadger week before last. I told him what I wanted, he made some suggestions, in the end we agreed upon a knife size and style. He gave me a price, which I considered very reasonable, and he was off. I received updates regularly about the progress blade finished, handl...

If all else fails contact his Knight. He will know what is going on.

Sizing is something I have trouble with. I wear a medium glove in some makes, a large in others, and a small in one. these are standard work gloves.Does anyone have any idea what a person with a 3.5 " across the palm and a hand length of 7" would need to order?

kaolin

I know nothing about metal. What is 1050 and how much harder is it to dish than stainless?

If the Highpoint / Black helm/ AB helm falls through I want it.

Sweet, definitely interested in a ss kit and I am going to post this on my local fight groups email so we can all pitch in for shipping if need be.
I suspect I'll need a medium/large.

kaolin

Depending on cost I would be interested in getting a 18-16g SS kit.

kaolin

Lee Valley carries it. Not sure if it is a good price or not.

These plates are about the same size as the plastic ones I used for almost 3 years. So for someone really stout you are looking at 5-600 plates. Still pretty darned cheap.

Thanks for the poke Olaf. I have PM'd the poster.

This is a great deal for someone just starting out.

kaolin

Awesome reference. Thank you!

Nice looking work kilt. Do you share you patterns?

kaolin

Well, it isn't as impressive as some of your projects but I recently started a set of hand sewn linen garb for myself. So far the hood is complete though it still needs embroidery. Right now I am embroidering a panel that will eventually become cuffs for a dress.

kaolin

Will you be making more of the brig cuff gauntlets when you get back? I want a set but money is to tight right now.

kaolin

Mild steel?

Talk to Olaf Haroldsson here on AA. He made my Tafl board and I love it.

Free bump cause I like Stonekeep.

kaolin

You will not go wrong buying from Stonekeep.

kaolin

Links work for me. For the record I have always been happy with my auction purchases from Stonekeep.

Take three of the thickest gauges of copper wire you can find. Lock one end in a vice and the other into a drill. Slowly twist them together with the drill doing the work. Cut to length, add tips (never thought to look at the brass knobs) and you have a torc. It will be more special for the receiver...

Sorry Felix but I claimed dibs on the Gambeson and am still waiting to hear back from the seller.

Vargr, please respond to my email either Yea or Nay.

kaolin

Dibs on Gambeson. Pming you right now.

kaolin

Do you want the device appliqued, embroidered, painted, or other?

kaolin

Yep. banker said no. Good luck on the trades/ sales.

I honestly don't know what wood its made out of: It was a gift to me from a friend and i no longer arch. Looking at their website i would venture a guess and say it might be bamboo as the limbs and bolivian rosewood as the handle... not sure how much that helps! Price wise based on their site they ...

kaolin

Darn it. Just missed.

kaolin

I may be interested in the bow depending on the details. What wood are the limbs made from? What wood is the riser made from? And most importantly, what price are you looking for on the bow? I might also be interested in the gauntlets but the picture on photobucket is to small for me to see the deta...

kaolin

Whonew, are theses actually legal for SCA heavy in Ealdormere? I've read conflicting answers before and the marshals handbook isn't every clear on the matter.

kaolin

Let me check with spouse. He may want a kidney belt.
