Re: Basket Hilts on mass weapons

The weight of the basket goes a long way to negating the mass of the head.
This takes away from what makes the weapon potentially a blast to use.
Like Dreffan/Muttman above, this was my weapon form of choice. I found the more weight in the hand the less the "pendulum" like advantage you have.

Most electric kilns use a kiln sitter, the pyrometric cone is used to hold trigger contacts closed, when the cone sags the trigger is released turning off the kiln.

Re: Can anyone here read German writing from 1500?

I would imagine pulling a bodkin from someone with your hand could be difficult being all bloody and slippery and possibly wedged in so muscle and bone.
The arrow in the pic is certainly illustrated shorter than it should be, maybe the tool is as well.
