Excellent review Peter. I haven't watched the second disc yet.
I may be able to get the raw footage of the filming at Paul's.

Hey Mike, it's not hollowground. I'll take some pics. I tried last night but in the artificial light I couldn't get the blade without excessive reflection. I'll make sure you get some blade time with it. It is a bit heavy compared to most production blades of it's size but is comfortable to work. I ...

Medallion Sword.
Paul forged out this blade about six years ago when we were first trying to figure out what was a practical Ranger sized blade. I was pretty heavy into ARMA at the time so was used to the giant wasters. This blade seemed compact compared to the wasters. We conducted a lot of hard testing on this bla...

Hey All, A couple of things in regards to sword selection. As with almost any weapon, if you train with it enough, you'll be good with it. Whether it's a type X, a basalard, or type XIV. Some blades are more suited for Ranger work than others. A critical factor is to find a blade size that you will ...

Grievous loss
Good Rangers, My closest friend and Brother Paul Champagne died this morning at his house. He was recovering from a heart attack suffered almost two weeks ago. It was with Paul that I began my historical research into Middle Earth. Paul had studied Tolkien since his teens and was truly a subject mat...

Hey Mike, Honestly, the best thing to do is to find a cheap pair of non-strech drawstring pants that fit and use them as a pattern. The gussets on pants are a bit tricky if trying to measure youself for a commercial pattern. I found a walmart pair for $12, took them apart and ironed them where the s...
