Re: 14th C German Chess Set

Thanks everyone. I purchased a set of commercial molds for the pieces, so the hard part was done for me. From there I cast the pieces in a casting plaster, painted them with a base coat of acrylic for the color and sealed them up with water based sealant. To get the low lights/ageing I coated them ...

Re: Pics that would inspire new guys. (UPDATE 8/31/2011)

I think that the caption may be wrong. I don't see that it can be the knights swearing fealty, as Duke Havordh is patently not from An Tir. Could it have been the HRM Ieuan was actually getting knighted himself? That would make more sense. I have seen other knighting ceremonies where the knights ho...

Too many variables and differences in each strike to give a specific force output number on it pretty much ever. The physics don't really matter though do they? One thing that ALL of us know regardless of the math is that these things, for whatever reason, hit a whole lot harder when thrown with th...

Big Atlantian heater shields get more abuse than any I have ever seen. That Bedford blocking style with the 24x36 catches almost all blows in the same two or three spots .

That is a tournament sword, pure and simple. At around $120.00 - $150.00, I'd be VERY tempted. I'd even beg for a custom sheath from someone.

Have you thought about offering a service where for a fee you replace the rattan once it brooms?
