Sorry for the thread necromancy, but is the idea of a "Poor Knight" strictly Victorian? I know knights dressed "allegorically" at tournaments. Could you flip the scenario? Would a well armed and apported knight enter a tournament with sackloth over his armor? I guess what I'm clumsily trying to ask ...

OMG Jason THANK YOU !!
This is just what I was looking for!

A Poll Axe,

If not the aforementioned sharpened stick.

Can someone share pics of SCA heavy fighting Landsknecht kits, or pictures of bigger guys. Im putting together a new harness and I need a little inspiration. |

Thanks!

Are the broadcasts going to be saved/rebroadcast. Last year I was woefully unemployed and glued to my computer. this year, not so much. I love to be able to come home and catch up.

Here he is shooting a tad slower but drawing farther. Seems to be a trade-off based on the target.

Any more progress Pics? I'd love to see more of this coming together!

I think he is still working out of Cet's shop (Rough from the Hammer) If you drop him a line there he'll probably get it.

When I said silicone I mean THIS : http://tinyurl.com/3dmne2e We call it "evil peanut butter" because it has the color and consistency of peanut butter an the first time I used it i managed to get it all over the house, doorknobs, faucets, etc. I run a bead inside the trimlock and then a thicker bea...

He lived in my home barony. (Or I in his if you like.) I helped him move residences more than once. Great guy, Absolute definition of curmudgeon. I miss him.

Striking with a rounded stick does not have the same requirements as striking with a sword. A friend of mine who has been doing SCA for ~20 years recently tried test cutting for the first time. He barely left a mark on the mat - which means his edge alignment was terrible. In twenty years of wieldi...

Wow, I haven't seen a SirRhys beatdown thread in a loooong time. We missed you your excellency. This thread is awesome and popcorn worthy!

Master Cet Donnegal, mostly because he's a friend. He's always willing to offer me advice and tweak any project that i'm working on. I know he's mostly known for the "Rough from the Hammer/Vulcan's forge" stuff. But his "eye" for the correct shape and knowledge of how "they" did it is impeccable. Ad...

With all this criticism of the SCA knights not taking action sooner and not “controlling their own”. And as the knight who stood up 20 years ago in the belted circle that was considering Brian for Knighthood, and said, "If you consider me a knight, Brian, should be a Knight." I offer up my belt.

I used to be a huge fan of Ft Skirmish's D-Day invasion paintball game each summer. But it's gotten so big that they don't allow walk-ons, and for how much they charge (field fees, food, and paint), they don't actually offer all that much. edit: Removed rant. I used to go all the time as well. The ...

Seconds on the knife if the original deal falls through.

Can you please, PLEASE, post more pictures of the knife? I have been looking for one for a LOOOONG time !!

Thank you!

Another cheer for Shoo Goo, I have used it on poleaxe heads for a couple of years and have actually pulled shield men out of line with poleaxes held together with nothing but shoe goo!

OK, now that we've gotten past issues with my commitment, the fact that it's not really appropriate (Or really funny) and that Donal is a curmudgeon,

Does anyone know any Latin?

I've got a radical idea: Instead of using a "Marvel Comics" hero's mantra, why not come up with a motto such as a real Mediaeval might have used. Something actually inspiring. OOh, Ice burn!!
