And those hinge pins work VERY well for the swap out of the visors...I'm VERY happy with that armet.

Morgan

Alcyoneus said, "I'm pretty sure the other one is from Antir, he was talking with a friend of his that was from Canada (his speech had a lot of eh's, eh?)."

Perhaps he was from An Tir....they do have a princepality, Avacal, so perhaps the Viscount Sir Gunther I saw was he.

Morgan

And once again I notice zero bids.

Those eyes are so far apart, only Richard Chamberlin or a fish could wear it.

Alcyoneus: You ask about Sir Gunthar. I'm sure there were others, but I can speak of two that I know of. Viscount Sir Gunthar is, I believe, from the Outlands. I saw him only once VERY briefly and can't describe his arms or colors. I could be wrong about that, but I do know for a fact that there is ...

Morgan

JP! I didn't know you were a sexy boxer brief kinda guy!

I acutally use tiny cotton bikini briefs to fight in, because my cup moves around in my boxer briefs. The cup, I've noticed, does far less good after if falls down your pant leg.

Morgan

I found many of those things myself, Samuel. Glad to have met you and shook your hand, Sir, and I hope we get a chance to cross weapons at some future event. My knight is going to Grand Outlandish. Not sure yet if I'll be there for that one.

Morgan

I'd pay for a nice buckler. I woulnd't persnoally pay for a munitions grade buckler, but if you did nice custom work, I'd pay accordinly. Hard to say how much I'd pay specifically, as we all know different options cost different money. But I'd pay over $100 if it was nice work. Probably woulnd't pay...

Morgan

Yes, saw lots and lots of pretty armour. Put tape on some of it even. Had a great time in general. Met the FIRST guy who has Sinric's close helm made by Sinric. That was keen. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ Do not go gentle into that good night - Dylan Thomas http://ww...

Morgan

I was away and not interested in a bidding war and someone sniped it at the last minute. No biggie, thought it'd be fun to do acid etching on it. Was that an archive person who got it?

Morgan

I'm VERY happy with the gauntlets. Nary a tiny bruise on my hands since I got them.

Morgan

Harold...I'm American. That doesn't mean that I know more about American History than, say, a history expert who's French. So your GREEK friend isn't necessarily correct. Or perhaps his accent made it difficult for you to understand him. You keep using the silliest references, but continue to NOT gi...

http://members.spree.com/armour/gaa/default.htm I just got my second piece of armour from Master Geoffrey. I got his gorget for heavy combat this time around. The first thing I got from him were gauntlets. This armour is terrific. It's simple in design and form, solid, fits nicely, seems like it'll...

Morgan

You're going to Estrella? Whatever for? Is somethign going on down there?

Hopefully I'll get a chance to say "hi" for a second, YRM. Safe travels.

Morgan

Morgan

Or more specifically, I'll be with Sir Duncan.

Morgan

Harold... Put your beliefs in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets full first. It's not a vote. If you can't provide primary sources for the romans having trebuchet, then that seems to be proving everyone else correct. 100 historians that BELIEVE something don't add up to a hill of ...

Morgan

There's a discussion at:

http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000077.html

about who's going to estrella. You probably didn't see it, it's in a silly place, but it's active.

So, shoot on over there and check in!

Morgan

Valstarr...I can't WAIT to fight around you, dude.

I love having big guys on MY side at wars!

Morgan

I think the issue of expense with a close or a burgonet or an armet for example is time required in their fitting construction phase. All the complex curves make them mui difficult to make...so with a kit, MOST of the hard work is done. A kit with a barrel great helm, for example, would be easier to...

Morgan

AG: Replied privately.

Fredrich: I was just thinking it would be fun to finish and have.

Wanna go in together, you can reverse engineer it and I get it when you're done?

Morgan

Heheh...trying to decide how much a helm I have to finish is worth to me...it SEEMS like a fun project, but Frederick sure seems intent on getting it...hm.....

Morgan

PoD....I said my RAISE was $25000 a year. Not raised TO $25000 a year. IE, I'm making over $2000 a month more now than I was making before this job.

Morgan

Oh, just a point of information...I am not the one who outbid Jake.

OOOH! An archive bidding war! Sounds like fun, Lost Scot! Hey, you're going to Gulf, right?

Morgan

I manage an IT department. I'm also single and basically close to debt free, no kids to support, stuff like that. When I moved into my new job, I got a raise that, after bonuses and so on, will be something in the $25,000 a year range. And I was making reasonably good money before I took this job. N...

Morgan

Very cool, man! God, I love my new job...I can do crazy things like buy helms.

Morgan

That just ROCKS!

Morgan

At the prices you mentioned, there is probably more than enough work to make you sick to death of making them and make you realize you're vastly undercharging for the market! http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif That guy who charges $400 for a vest may only sell one now and then but at least h...

Morgan

So you're going for the "I know it's wrong, but I just can't help myself, I'm worthless and weak" bargrill?

I know that's Sir Mieczko the Swift of Jaroslaw. I know you can find his email address by going to his name plate here: http://www.midrealm.org/chiv/listing.phtml I know he's IronWolf, and I'm sure Gundo knows what his website is that describes his s/sh technique, but I can't think of it for the lif...

Morgan

Just a suggestion...

Make a couple pieces, take picures, sell them. Use the happy customers as references to develop said "good reputation." Easier to build a solid business that way.

Morgan

I'm not sure how the fact that there were arrows in the ground before the first battle is inconsistant. Is it not possible that that site was a recent previous battle ground? Is it not possible that the equipment being used (sheilds for example) were used in previous engagements? Perhaps the barbari...

According to AAoMK, in period there was no difference bewteen the armet and the close. Today, generally like Gundo says we call the 2 hinge piece cheeks the armet and the hinge at the temple bevor a close. Also, a close seems to USUALLY have intregal gorget and the armet does not. Sasha...does that ...

Morgan

I posted the measurements on the board.

Call me Mr. Solicitous.

Morgan

Very pretty chain work.

I do hope you weren't offended by the discussion of your previous leather armour auction. Best of luck with your business.

Morgan

Gaston, I have an issue with what you have to say. I don't disagree that there aer people in the SCA who don't want to change. But to avoid trying to make those changes to please THOSE people is to ignore those people who DO want changes to happen. Change is good. Without change and growth, things d...
