1460-1470 joint articulation. (SCA newbie question)
Guys, I have a newbie, and I think I got lucky. We sorted through the pile of used and loaner armor, and he selected a sort of close to kinda matching set of 5 lame articulated knees and 5 lame articulated elbows. We also found a Brig made with mardi gras coins (no kidding) that is a pretty good 10 ...

I should tell you guys this.
Hey, Guys, I didn't actually put it together until this evening, but some of you guys might be interested in this. I know somebody in this shop. My friend (as far as I know) isn't in sales. I don't know if there is a "Hook up" price, but I imagine my buddy might want to pull in an order or two. That...

Has the Pennsic Smack Talk begun yet?
Guys, I fought in April, because my ticket had expired, and I needed a new one. I was found to be "safe" but I was really unhappy about how I did. I have spent the the time since then trying to get the old body back into the saddle. The best thing about fighters is that they are both challenging and...

It depends on what your terms are. A flail is an essential tool for harvesting and processing wheat when you use certain medieval methods. It wouldn't be the classic D&D flail, but it IS a flail.

When I went to my first practice, in the late '80's, a guy named "Waffle" hit me in my left hip so hard that my right hip got a bruise.

And, without false modesty, finishes are my weak spot. I totally suck at finishes. You really want to find another person to ask about finishes.

Re: wood finishes
Before you read this, understand that finishes are my weak spot. I am not so good with finishes. You want the finish to protect the wood. For tools that deal with face to face contact as they do their job, you don't want varnishes or lacquers, you want oils. Disassemble the tool, and sand it well to...
