Roger wrote:What's the format?

Starting tourney with a round robin format, 7 fighters per field, 4 fields. Top 4 from each field will advance.

iaenmor

Should be interesting. Nice list with for Ansteorra an unusual format. Duke Aaron if he is healthy should do well. Counts Romamius and Lochlan should also do well. I wouldn't be surprised to see any one of three in the finals. There are a couple of the Centurions that wouldn't surprise me by doing v...

Interesting belt. Kinda wonder what the purpose of the flail is. Figuring just a weird decoration.

Haldan, thanks for the link to the blog. I think I could spend a lot of time there.

About the only Baltic people I have heard of using coils/spirals of metal would have been the Finnic people. If I recall correctly started out in men's fashion but eventually became a women's thing. Did find one pic from a lady in Finland who made a kit for her husband. Tablet wove belt with the end...

http://midwesttent.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=37&products_id=155 I just happen to own one. Bought the bracket kit for the tent and went to the local Lowes for the emt. Cost me less to buy that way. You are supposed to be to just use a ridge pole with uprights and stake out the sides but I ha...

Not actually rust. It is a corrosive reaction between two dissimilar metals. Statue of Liberty was/is a great example. Iron frame with a copper skin. Dang thing was rotting apart. Seal one of the metals with something like paint, lacquer and it helps to stop the reaction.

iaenmor

Nicely done.

Sorry guy can't help you with her natural endowments but here are bigger pics. And more.

Aircraft Spruce. Great service, good prices. Never had a problem with them and they took care of problem with UPS for me. Compare the prices for like sized pieces.

Not a bad idea Sigifrith. And I have seen the opposite. A CA got hit in the arm and borrowed a shield from someone and covered an archer and a spearman. Personally I have yielded, been tapped, hit with a descent shot and picked up and thrown with a spear. Well actually a pike in the side, Duke Uther...

Lay in on the ground high side up. Take a deadblow hammer and hit. Multiple lines going from top to bottom. It should release some of the curve that way. Try and hit evenly across the entire surface so it releases the same all over.

Losthelm, 30# bow for shafted arrows. Except for Ansteorra where the heavy bow poundage is less than 50#. Won't even get into the different poundages for crossbows.

iaenmor

I am waiting for the first person to show up at inspection point with a "heavy" and shafted ammo. Somehow I know it will happen.

iaenmor

Oz, nicely done. One thing to add Shoes. First thing I noticed.

iaenmor

Very nice. Not only is the clothing nice but the lighting just seems to get the mood right.

Adam you are obviously blessed.

iaenmor

Add tweezers, a comb, possibly a small knife.

iaenmor

Well getting that style of belt and color is pretty easy. Earning the right to wear it is a whole different animal.

Nice tunic. I have to agree, nice trim.

iaenmor

I haven't seen any changes so far. The changes were made for rattan weapons so no guess as to whether they apply or not.

Barony of Stargate in Houston just had theirs. Did a toy drive and a small tourney requiring a toy to enter or gain more lives.

iaenmor

.125" or slightly larger would be ok. With the leather and padding should be ok. Shaping the splints a bit especially around wrist area will help with the strength some and will be less likely to rub the them wrong. Check ebay for kydex for smaller pieces instead of buying a whole sheet. The color w...

Big hammer, much easier with 2 people but it can be done by one person. 2-3 pound sledge hammer held by hand inside against the head of the rivet. Loads of little taps from the outside. Readjust hammer as needed. Done this several times to replace/repair straps at events. Not always the prettiest bu...

Good products will sell anywhere on this board.

It is on the schedule of events I plan on attending.

Check out the Viking Answer ladies website. http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/hairstyl.shtml She has a part on grooming. She has at least 1 picture of a razor. Read the whole page. There are carvings and whatnot further down showing neatly groomed beards and hair.

I kept waiting for a kitchen sink to come flying by.

Large or small they don't care. When did you move to Navasota?

Hmm, nice link. Thanks Keegan. I would hate to see the shipping to NZ tho. I would imagine he could find something similar where he is at.

iaenmor

Lowe's does carry solid brass kick plates but you have to find the small print on the package to make sure. The kick plates are fairly thin tho. 16 to 18 gauge brass door knob plates work well. Back them with steel for a nasal. I like these much more. Again read the small print to make sure they are...

double post.

Nails will work. Get the right size for the hole. Check you local hardware or tractor repair store. They might have rivets for disk harrow blades.
