Re: Some vids from the Champions battles of Pennsic 45

Also, I believe Duke Morgan's opponent is Duke Quilliam of Ealdormere.

And "Windfane" is Sir Wigthegn of the Midrealm.

Thanks for the videos, always look forward to your posts after wars!

Re: Music for Pell Work

If you like Carmina Burana, get the original Conan: The Barbarian soundtrack. I believe the composer (Basil Poledouris) based it on Carmina Burana.

Re: Drawing the Perfect Heater Curve

My meaning of "perfect" is in a geometric sense, and not necessarily historical. My method will always create an arc tangential to a shield's straight side (if it has one), or will make a corner into the tangent point. I find this aesthetically pleasing and just wanted to share the method. I wonder ...

Drawing the Perfect Heater Curve

This is a process I had developed a while back for drawing a perfect curve on a heater shield. I've seen the process for making a curve where the width of your shield is used as the radius of your curve; this expands on that by making the curve fit any size heater. I'm not sure if I'm clear enough o...

From the standpoint of durability, this is a really bad idea.
