From the Stonekeep website size F would be for knees that measure 38cm point to point.

Check out the Stonekeep sizing page at http://www.stonekeep.net/elbows.html for more information on how that sizing is determined.

So, any news on this? I need new armor...

Gawin der Fuchs

Sprint Stainless...

Put it on the site and you will have an order as soon as I can get the right measurements.

For DVDs NTSC means it will pretty much only work on an American DVD player. 4:3 is also known as "Full Screen" as compared to "Wide Screen". Basically on an older style standard definition TV the picture will fill the entire screen instead of having the black bars on the top and bottom. By contrast...

I wouldn't say noone wants them... I have two issues though, one I don't have an extra $250 this soon after the holidays and two I think size D is to big for me.

I reworked my website and broke all the image links so I thought I would repost this one so that the links can be updated.

It depends on how loose the cross is. If it is just a little loose, I just use a nice little rubberized contact cement called "Goop". You should be able to find it at any craft store or hardware store. Get the version in the small purple/blue tube. That is honestly all I use to affix my single hande...

Well played... I may have to use that.

Wow this would look great on my right hip opposite my sword scabbard... too bad I'm broke right now.

If this is still available after the 4th (when I get paid next) I'll take it.

I really like this picture...

Me at the Deed of Arms at Gulf Wars.

I really like this picture of me in my kit from the Deed this year at Gulf Wars.

Gawin der Fuchs

Ok, the Gulf Wars pictures are on my site, including the ones for the Deed.

The pictures can be found here

I am probably going to upload the full sized images tonight, they will be available as a link below the larger web image once uploaded.

Gawin der Fuchs

Wow that was fun. I am so happy that I was there and took part in this deed. I absolutely can't wait to do it again next year.

I will post a link to the pictures once I finish going through the 1200+ pictures we captured this year at the war.

Gawin der Fuchs

Very pretty, do they have a website or any contact info?

Gawin der Fuchs

One of them is interested. PM sent.

Gawin der Fuchs

I know a couple guys that might be interested. Should know by morning.

Gawin der Fuchs

LeeC, I can't look at the site you listed here at work so I don't know how those wasters are constructed. However I can't imagine that any rebated steel would bend much across the edges. Most steel swords are very flexible if pulled towards the flats of the sword but not if pulled towards an edge. W...

Gawin der Fuchs

Oh, and caution with the throws is a good idea, especially if you will be using Fiore's style. The armor doesn't really do much to prevent dislocated shoulders or destroyed elbows if you take the binds too far and being thrown in armor still hurts. In my WMA class the rule is to reach the point wher...

Gawin der Fuchs

Ok, while I don't have a huge amount of experience with rebated metal weapons I do have some. First, you will probably need new helmets. SCA eyeslots will not prevent a thrust from a rebated weapon from taking out an eye. I recommend a helm with a perforated faceplate or with eyeslots constructed sp...

Gawin der Fuchs

how about those windrose hilts? They are tabless. I use those and do not poke holes in them. I simply shim them if they fit loosely and glue them in place with a good rubberized glue like Goop. I find they hold up very well, I have only had to reglue my great-sword once and normally I break the rat...

Gawin der Fuchs

Has anyone reported the problems with the straps and buckles to Revival.us? I know a guy who has one of the early pairs of the riding boots and as far as I know he hasn't had any issues. It may be that the supplier has started skimping on them and Brian isn't aware of the problem.

I'll be arriving on Sunday and staying all week, though I may have to leave Saturday night because of my lady's job. I will be camping with Small Gray Bear. I will be fighting to defend my Kingdom's land from the invaders from the East and West in whatever manner the King and Queen of Gleann Abhann ...

Gawin der Fuchs

MarkH, It really sounds like you fight in a manner that is very similar to the teachings of Fiore de Liberi. In fact you mention that you like his Complete Iron Gate stance (Tutta Porta di Ferro). Have you considered looking into the Schola Saint George? It is a WMA group centered around the fightin...

Maces are uncommon now because of a number of factors- 1. The muscle memory of sword work will cause a mace to tear up your elbow. It's not a sword. 2. Very difficult to make a mace that hits right that will pass. 3. Shorter reach. I agree with Sir Vitus but I have found a place for this type of ma...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread. Audax, the PDF you linked is exactly what I was looking for, a timeline of the Halberd or Pole-axe with defining characteristics for the various centuries. I knew that the Halberd existed as a weapon in the 14th century but all the pictures I was ...

Gawin der Fuchs

Malachi, I have a fencing mask that would probably fit you, I use it for WMA stuff and am not a light fighter currently in the SCA so your using it wouldn't keep me out of any battles. Otherwise, I could pass word to some of the Small Gray Bear light folks to see if any of them could help you out. W...

Gawin der Fuchs

Quick question. Does anyone have any good pictures showing various shapes of Pole-Axe / Hammer / Halberd / etc that were used in the late 14th Century (around 1380)?

Gawin der Fuchs

Not sure if it counts as great yet, but I just got a decent picture of my kit in its current form.

We had four of the panther round pavilions at our camp this past Gulf Wars. Everyone that has one loves it. When staked and roped I haven't seen one even visibly sway in high winds and the space inside is impressive.

Gawin der Fuchs

I got some of these right before Gulf Wars and showed them to everyone I know and a few I don't. These are wonderful pieces and everyone that saw them agreed. I know a couple people I showed them to were saying they wanted to buy some of these when they saw them... you know who you are. *cough*Brand...

You can see the pictures taken primarily by my lady at My Website

Funny, I just got an order from Clay last week. You might try emailing him again, I used the one on his website and he got back to me pretty quickly.
