Hal,

you need to advertise your tools in the Facebook "United League of Armorers" group as well. Lots of people buying there.

I would buy this, but I got laid off two weeks ago. Good Luck !

Vermillion

nice job !

Vermillion

Thank you all ! I appreciate it.

I am just so frustrated I want to scream. I was really looking forward to see everyone again.

Lift a beer for me, and I'll buy the first round next year.

Thanks guys.

Wade, its looking like I can not make it down.

I am having a kidney stone attack, and my Doctor said it was better if I don't travel 5 hours from home.

If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

I'll see you guys next year.

Vermillion

Tom, make sure you bring a pair of your mail panties !

I'm seriously curious on how they are made/fitted .

Vermillion

Is it just me, or does the lance rest look rather crude compared to the rest of the piece? Maybe it is just the way the pictures were taken.

Vermillion

Thanks, but no it is not. That is a good one though. The one I'm looking for was a pdf and had a lot of pictures.

Vermillion

nice nice helmet I'll pass it around

Vermillion

oh man... its not going to be the same without the old guard.

Vermillion

Yes your butt is big

But the Brayette looks fine !

Dibs on the sabatons, pending discussion with Scott.

Vermillion

Hey guys... need a little help.

Every few years there is a PDF that goes around here with a modern study of knife wounds, etc. and how lethal or non-lethal they can be, including pictures. I can not find my copy.

Anyone have one handy? Thanks !

I will be there baring unforeseen emergencies. I talked to Gruber and he is going to try and make it too, but that is shortly after he is moving to Asheville, so I would put him down as a maybe. I will bring my two horsebows. The Tartar Bow is 65lbs at 28" and a dream to shoot. The Mongolian I just ...

Tom gets all the good toys !

WOW that was a good deal. It wouldn't have fit around my fat belly though

Vermillion

Jonathan,

If the breast and back are still available, and $180 I will take them, given some minor details I'd like to discuss with you

Private message me.

When I first saw the the title (due to the font), I thought it said....

Vermillion

I've got the GDFB Pole-Axe Head and the German Halberd.

Actually not bad with a little work and loving care.

Vermillion

Yes Wade, but we all don't have your resources

And I meant a modern one, not a real historic one like yours ! LOL!

Vermillion

Stainless bars?

Vermillion

Here is a way to "cheat" when learning. Buy a knee or elbow that you like the design of, take it apart, make patterns, and now build a set of them. Do this several times, improving the patterns to match your building technique. You'll quickly get it. This cuts out a lot of the early frustration and ...

Vermillion

A thought just occurred.......

Period tricycle balsa jousting anyone? Muahahahhaha

Vermillion

Just make sure the children wear proper safety helms !

Jousting helms of course!

Vermillion

Beautiful work Mark!

Vermillion

Wow... nice album Tom! Thanks for sharing!

Vermillion

Make a torso cast out of fiberglass casting tape. Best way to pattern armor for yourself.

Vermillion

Great thread guys !

Vermillion

Go back and watch the polearm fight (final section) in the video. Turn your volume up loud so you can hear what happens. The guy in black (I don't know either of these guys or care who they are) distinctly yells after a combo is thrown... "Good... *half second pause* ... And a knee" with something l...

Vermillion

Mac,

So your saying the lame height (visible) should be about 7/8"? I'm trying to make sure I understand correctly. How much overlap? It is very interesting on how high the rerebraces go.

Vermillion

Sextus, you did a good job ! :) One small suggestion on faulds and similar items. It took me a long time to figure this out myself. And if I'm still doing them wrong, please Mac or Wade correct me. It appears that your fauld pieces are purely rectangular, which you just make slightly longer around t...

Vermillion

Hmm.... very interesting. I've seen them in modern items, but never would have considered them to be used historically.

Vermillion

Certainly not cheap, or really cheap like in a bulk order, but I have been getting mine from Amazon. At least if your a prime member, you get free 2nd day shipping. I've been really happy with these.

Wow... and I thought makes individual armor scales was time consuming.

great work !
