so my ex-wife has "returned" to me a box of sca garb that i have never seen. as she was (and still is) a pain in my ass i will be offering these things up for sale. the profits i will use to buy something nice for our 8 year old son. first i have a rather nice tooled leather pouch. it has ...

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

so i have this sword just sitting around,
and am looking to upgrade my current kit.
i paid too much, and will consider any reasonable offers.
it was originaly a godfried sword from cas/hanwei which i stripped of the ugly leather grip wrap and scabbard cover and re-finished in a nice red oak stain.

Heath B fraychef

cool i am anxiously waiting.
by the way that was a clever ploy for you to get me spending more money.
now i need nice fittings for the daggar i have to make for the scabbard.
i think this is your way of bolstering our econemy.
good show sir.
good show indeed.

Heath B fraychef

that is so sweet its disgusting.
ill pass it along to some friends.

Heath B fraychef

i am also looking for hilts like these so if anyone makes some please let me know.

Heath B fraychef

pics?

Heath B fraychef

yeah you would be better off just making tem yourselvs.
for the price of one sword and shield you could make 50 swords easy.
roughly 90 bucks for a single handed sword and one foam shield.

Heath B fraychef

honestly im just jealous. i "wanted " a phrygian spangen amnd as you had none available i searched elswhere. the helm i ended up with is very very nice just not what i ordered. this was originaly supposed to be a spangen style as well as having barstock for a back grill under the chain. i ...

Heath B fraychef

i hate you.

Heath B fraychef

yeah that one will be sweet.
i got the ones you sent btw.
they are great.
the yellow one made my squire brother very happy.
thanks again.

Heath B fraychef

i was only kidding. ive ordered from steel mastery before. and would not reccomend them to anyone ever. not only did they not make the helm i orderd but kept the money i paid for extras they did not actually put into the helm. then insisted they did. a solid steel back plate is nowhere near a barsto...

Heath B fraychef

try steel mastery.
i hear they make them.

Heath B fraychef

how big are they my son could use some new garb?
also could you post pics?

Heath B fraychef

pics would probably help as a selling point.

Heath B fraychef

i assume mine is inthe spring as well?

Heath B fraychef

i can wait.
thanks for the update, let me know if the cold weather epoxy works out.
good luck.

Heath B fraychef

not to stick my thumb in your eye but next time do your homework before sending money. there are plenty of people here who will tell you horror stories of armorers with less than desireable standards of business. and plenty of people who will steer you in the right direction to find armorers who cou...

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

let me hint around to my lovely wife she may be interested.

Heath B fraychef

yes i believe there would be a market.
ill start spreading the word

Heath B fraychef

what i used to do was do lots of starches and grains like rizzotto or polenta. which are very easy to keep and seem to impress people while still bieng extremely easy to prepare while camping. then only refridgerate the main protiens. you can do plenty of vegetables that dont need to be kept cold. p...

ok, so ive heard the term transitional armor thrown around a bit but in reaity i find myself wondering exactly what are people talking aboutwas there a specific time frame for "transitional armor " or is it just a term for armor in between specific known periods? any enlightenment would be...

Heath B fraychef

i am intereste djust let me speak to my financial advisor (wife) ive alreay spent way over my generous alotment on armor.
but i do need a box just like that to keep said armor in.

Heath B fraychef

does anyone know where one could get a decent dished round shield made?
i have a friend looking to complete his mongolian kit and wants to have a good shield.

Heath B fraychef

the long and the short of it is. dont do it. do a search for posts about steel mastery here and you will see exactly why. decent work but dont count on getting anything done either anyway near on time or as you ordered it. speaking from experiance, i ordered a phrygian helm blued with a bargrill bac...
