Most vambraces are designed to protect the outer arm. A bracer is designed to protect the inner arm, so before starting on your vambraces you might want to design one that allows you to put a bracer over it or build a bracer into the design on your off-arm. Typical model vambrace's straps (on the in...

Eric: As long as it doesn't have to be fancy, take any of that scrape garment leather I sent you and double layer it, wrap it around your arm and useing cord or shoe laces tye it on, criss crossing the laces. I don't remember if I sent you or Mike a piece or stiffer glossy black leather, this would ...

At one point in time I had wanted to do something similar but with crowd drawing events and possible college acreditation for some of the courses. Mine was going to be medieval village themed and hopefully go for renfair type events and medieval weddings and banquets to help fund the village year ro...

We could stop at a little known pub named The Slaughtered Lamb and listen to them tell us a joke about a Brit, a Mexican and a Yank on an airplane. Then we can all take a leisurely walk on the fog draped moors at night.

Home Despot has canvas painter's drop clothes 9x12 for less then $20. ea Two of these and a good waterproofing treatment would be more than adequate for a 1-2 man tent, flaps included. For tent poles I'd suggest makeing them socketed so they can be put together and make a decent walking stick. A rea...

Several times both here and on meranger.com the subject of a primitive fishing has come up so here's a quick run down of what you can use or make to complete your kit. For fishing line the best thing is old linen fishing line. This is not readily available and you may have to do some searching to fi...

Shoo goo is said to work very well also.

I like it ! Your head cover is sweet with the quick release. I generally use a loop over button but your's is much faster both on and off.

Yeah, I've tried several times and have 2 laying around someplace. The trouble is you need a large area with 360 degrees of clearance and no one else is the surroundings. My brother Mike had gotten pretty good and could consistantly hit a posted speed sign sized target from about 50-60 ft. He used t...

Thanks again Mike !

Can you make a sketch of what you'd like them to look like, or copy something from one of the better moc makers' site, so we have a better idea of what you're looking for. The elkhide looks a little light weight for moc uppers, take a look at buffalo hide. There are some decent pieces at good prices...

While I'm thinking of it, you can also easily take your old bota bottle and put a new look to it. Trace out on two pieces of leather either side of your bota bag. Leave a little extra room for expansion, when filled. Stitch both pieces together leaving about a 1/4 undone. Take the bota bag and caref...
