I have to say, I really miss the Historic Combat Series. The plate & maille tourney, sword & buckler tourney, longsword tourney, as real men fought tourney... All tons of fun.

Last night was the 193rd consecutive monthly Crapaud tournament.
Viva Le Crapaud!

My buffer is on a 2HP motor (or is it 3HP?). It doesn't slow down. It caught on fire once from the friction while I was buffing my old helm. Yeah, usually it thows things down and away, but I had some stuff leaning against the stand so the cuff got wedged between the stuff & the wheel, so it pulled ...

I ended up getting five stitches centered between my eyes when my buffing wheel threw a demi-gauntlet cuff at my face. Doing the math, I figure it was traveling at 33 MPH. It felt like I got slammed in the face with a brick. Fortunately, my glasses (prescription, not safety) took some of the impact ...

I was disappointed in the number of battles. There were so many more battles listed on the schedule than we actually fought. On Saturday, we only fought three battles, skipping the open field & others. :( With the amount of driving (over 13 hours one way for me), the time off work, and the high site...

I would offer my congratulations as well to the Kingdom of Atenveldt. The fighting was nothing short of legendary. I'm inspired to prepare some moves and stances I haven't considered in many a year. The Outlands, who always has done a great job in whatever capacity, upped their game yet again and i...

Dang impulse buys! I still haven't used the last stuff I got from you!

LOL.

Paypal will be sent in a couple of minutes.

Thanks,

Extremely interested, depending on price and turnaround time. I am looking for some finger gauntlets for this season. Do you have any idea yet? Owen, You can always buy a piece of Ti off ebay and build yourself a pair at my shop. Mark & Evandyr made theirs at my place. They aren't that hard to make...

Are those lames riveted on, or are those bolts & nuts holding them together?
It would be tough to buff if they are already assembled.

As a percentage the WEST took a larger hit. And Lochac took an even bigger hit. I suspect some of these large drops are from bringing the records up to date (dropping fighters who have disappeared). The crazy one is Atenveldt more than doubling it's number of AC fighters! Did they go on a major rec...

Norham has made some GI Joe sized armour. It's pretty cool. I remember being impressed by the miniature German sallet & fluted breastplate.

Godric, You've seen my 1066 kit that I have been wearing for the past three years. I use Stonekeep spring steel fanless cops in it. Size A for the elbows and size C for the knees. Size B fit Titus' elbows & size D fit Bachus' knees. (I had bought A-D because I didn't know which sizes I needed). I gl...

I may be interested in the dishing form. What does shipping on something like that run?

Also, what are the dimensions of the $15 aluminum wheel pommel?

Scott

Evandyr,
I'm interested in getting in on an order as well.
Check with the usual suspects, maybe we can get a local order going.

Hmmm. I wonder how well it would work to fill the inflatable one with expanding foam? That would give it a little bit of heft and add some rigidity. Or, fill it with plaster of paris for even more heft! Never mind. I just clicked the link and saw that it inflates a tube frame to make the die rather ...

I believe Radnor's broken lance is made from a beefy chunk of ash. I don't think it started life as a baseball bat blank, but I could be wrong.
It is about sword length, btw.

Purely defensive. I recall him stating that it had all the disadvantages of a madu with none of the advantages.

Sure, depending upon price, of course.

I'll take one, too.

Paypal?

They look like crossguards for really big swords.

I've been wearing Boehmond (sp?) 3-toggle Jorvik boots. They are his "off the peg" line, about $80. I've used them both with and without vibram. Sometimes I slip and fall, but I don't think it happens any more than when I wore engineer boots or the East German combat boots. I'm wearing the...

Scott

Yeah, but I don't need overnight shipping. Or even one, two or three day shipping. I am fine with waiting a week or two if it saves substantially on shipping.

BTW: I may be interested in a group order....

Hey Mrks, I have some 3/16" punches for the #7 for sale. I don't remember how many I have left, maybe 4? $9 each. These are the top punches, not the bottom threaded dies. They are New Old Stock. Unused, but have a little surface rust on them. There's a post from me from about a month ago with a...

Dibs on the hammers & vice (pending pics & shipping charges).

I'm interested in the three hammers & the leg vice.
Any pictures?

Stonekeep,

I like you, and have bought stuff from you and referred lots of people to you, but I don't facebook.

The AA is pretty much the extent of my online "social networking".

I hope you will keep posting deals here as well.

Nice shaving bench!

Can you post the plans for it?

Still four #7 3/16" punches left at $9 each.

Knotwolf,
Do you take paypal, or do I need to mail you a check?
- Scott

Scott

OK, so I checked out my punches, and as it turns out, I already have XX punches .219 & .281.
So my new, new order is:

Punches:
1x 5/32
2x 3/16
1x 7/32

Dies:
3/16

That comes to $25, right?

- Scott

Scott

Let me make sure I have bottom dies for those from my collection of #7 punches. I actually had no idea that the #7 & #xx dies were interchangeable! If I don't have all the bottoms, I will need to add those to the order.
I'll check them tonight after I get home.

Thanks,
- Scott
