Same with my axe, I think I still need to give you the shipping addy and stuff still

NeeSayer

What time frame would these fit?

NeeSayer

5-8 weeks is really reasonable and common in custom armour from my experiences. Good communication though makes the difference between if it feels like a long wait or a short one though

NeeSayer

Loving all the axes you've been making. Can't wait to see mine

Jackie of Shamrock Armoury makes amazing greek helms: m (the again, I have never seen a helm that Jackie could not due...) Give him a message and I'm sure he can give you a quote... m This. I've bought 3 helms and multiple pieces of armour from jackie and the dude (and his apprentice) just do aweso...

NeeSayer

what's the weight of the head? I might be interested in picking one up to use for my off hand.

NeeSayer

Heidelberg is an awesome post, you got lucky getting it. Beautiful area and lots of fun to be had

NeeSayer

Interested in a custom shield if you're still doing the low profile welded edging

NeeSayer

I never win these things, but man it'd be spiffy if I did

NeeSayer

While I appreciate the reviews on this one leatherworker, I would really prefer to keep my business to the states. Anyone else out there?

NeeSayer

Looking for a simple belt pouch. Preferred to be black. The only catch is it need to be thick enough to save my can of chew if it takes a hit while fighting. As far as size goes, just large enough to hold my cards and a can or two of chew. My persona is a mid 13th C hospitaller, so something that co...

NeeSayer

I would hope people would recognize the amount of work put into that kit and decide to not be peckerheads about something that is obviously a non-issue

Hardest job in the army. Enjoy it and don't become that recruiter you always heard horror stories about.

At pennsic 33, which was my second event and about three weeks after I had initially authorized. On the far right with the lop-tarded cross made out of duct tape. Helm was made by a friend back in the early 90's from what I was told when I bought it. Wore a CoP made out of leather remnents and was m...

NeeSayer

I've heard gunther of orkney makes pretty nice shields too, but not sure what his que is lookin' like.

NeeSayer

My welded stainless aventail weighs 4 lbs, give or take a bit.

You want the mass because it means your head moves less when you're rocked. Also, a lighter helmet means lighter gauge metal which means more dents to remove to keep the helm lookin good.

Mainly though, it's a safety thing.

NeeSayer

Listen guy, I understand you have this whole devils advocate argument thing you like doing but don't say I need to get out more. I at no point said that every peer is a bastion. I even acknowledged there are some that aren't. I was pointing out that what you said was a dickhead thing to say. You cho...

NeeSayer

Peer pressure does not work when there are Peers who don't care about how they look. Shh now.. we all know it's just the newbs who look like ass. That white belt throws a magical "shield of plausibility" over everything else they are wearing! Why, it's medieval garb in and of itself! This...

NeeSayer

Fantastic to hear since I recently placed an order with him myself.

NeeSayer

I think balthazar on here does work in Ti.

And mrks does finger gauntlets that are pretty slick looking.

Unless they really like sleeping during the day, and have a thing for lying on gravedirt

Well played good sir

NeeSayer

I don't have a picture of two of my helms on my computer but here's my crusader made by shamrock armory (who is awesome to deal with and you need to buy a helm from him right now).

Looking to build a great sword when I get back for my 13th C persona. Anyone have the hardware that would work for my time frame laying around and want to be rid of it?

NeeSayer

Anyone have the dvds they make for pennsic and estrella ripped into a digital file? If you would be willing to share it i'd love to buy a copy of 'em off of you. Not picky about which estrella or pennsic it's from, just needing to get a fix.

NeeSayer

They shouldn't really be compared in my opinion. Compeltely different games. Only thing in common is that they involve hitting each other with something. And if we go that route why don't we just start comparing SCA to MMA. They both involve hitting right? One caters to one crowd, the other offers t...

NeeSayer

Which one? Pre-1248 when they wore full on monks robes, 1248-1257 where they wore black, 1257 on where it was red, before the change of the cross?

NeeSayer

I'd like to see quality cappa's (monks robes) in different material weights for summer and winter wear.

NeeSayer

IMHO, covering plastic is just a very very very small step towards authenticity. The shire I started out in has the "get em on the field" attitude, but then make NO attempt to improve their kits. Personas never develop between "Magnus McKiltpants" or whatever. Most of these peopl...

NeeSayer

I'll take it. PM me your paypal and how much shipping will be.

Been wearing lamellar for a long time and its not the best for absorbing spear body shots so ill give this a shot

NeeSayer

Dick move for sure.

I'll just say it, buyer beware.

NeeSayer

Is it going to come strapped like the other set you had for sale? Tentative first dibs for it

NeeSayer

Genuis... sheer genius. And hell, I honestly know an entire shire that needs to be sponsored in this program. Everyone that has been fighting for 5 year or more tells the newbies that it's alright because it says creative in the title. Any attempts at helping has had me called a period nazi. Tips, h...

Hey buddy, Fighting out of my home barony of caerthe eh? Good place, great group. I'll be back down there fighting by january or so. Anyways, I think I have a pair of splinted arms laying around in the storage shed that I could part with. I'll email my lady to dig them out and take some measurements...

Must be welded or riveted. Anyone have 'em in stock or have an extra they want to be rid of?
