Well "DAD" :P I could use a few things myself. Can I pm you the list. :D :D :P:P LOL Good Luck and please post pics I wanna get my girl involved and pics might help. We're due in July so we'll have another little renrat to tote along. Congratulations Mike, I'll see if I can borrow the sui...

Thanks folkes for all your sympathy !! It will be a while before I finish everything. I havn't rec'd the jambiya yet and several of the smaller things. The haversack is done, except for the shoulder strap. The dress I ordered a pattern for ,but will have to customize it a bit. Don't expect to see me...

As there has been a lot of blade talk lately thought I'd post this for those of you with a return check burning a hole in your pocket,

I'm married so I only get to keep the part the jingles

Clothing and equiping a personea is easy to go astray! As some of you know I like the craft end, particularly making scabbards. Right before my last vacation, I found a few items of interest on Ebay. One of them was an old Windlass blade from the Warriors Dream collection. These were fantasy pieces ...

I forgot, another very good feature of both Sword Forum and My Armoury is they both have classified ads for blade. In SFI it's called the Classifieds and My Armoury uses the name Marketplace, both are great places for picking up some gently used pieces at well less than new prices.

What Peter said. Also: To add to the "quality vs. quantity" vein. A 4+ lb sword, however many axes, a knife/axe combo, a bow, and a staff? I agree that one should always be prepared, but I think in this case less may be more. Out in the middle of nowhere, when speed of flight may mean lif...

The Zombie Apoc......guilty here. I have enuff axes, mauls and other skull crushing implements to outfit an entire zombie defense force! I hope to be at that point soon. I like the thought of enough weapons that everyone I know has a few choices and a few extras. Being that this started out as an a...

We have Canterbury ales in Huntington Village. It's a great looking little pub with some good food to boot. I've thought about going in kit but I'm not so sure the Huntington cops would get it. After an SCA event (Celtic Silliness) about 15 years ago, I and another few folkes ended up there in garb...

It's been on several times before and has some good quick spots, notably a longsword drill with John Clements and a sword being forged by Paul Champagne.

Well all you have to do is ask Mike Capanelli for a review, that's the same model he won in Valient Armory's contest. I personally like Gus Trim's blades. I have a 1417( stock ) a 1503 w/blued furniture and an antiqued blade a 1557 w/brass wheel pommel a Christian Fletcheried 1520 and 1 more that I ...

For looks Windlass has it all over CAS. I 've only had a couple of CAS and I didn't like any of them. Windlass is a fine production sword and they certainly have something everyone will like. I''ve owned at least 15 and handled my brother's (an addtional 10 or so). I currently have three, two of whi...

The 1st and 3rd are patterns and the second site is some info on historic pants.

Apparently if I contribute enough money in two years they'll be putting up new signs for the Pete's Ass State Park. Cool Pete! That's about the most original park name I've ever seen. When do we start the fund raising drive? Mike, You already have the address from the time I started the collection ...

With all this talk of outings, I took a trip up to one of the three State Parks within 15 miles, this morning. Bear in mind we just (yesterday) had a snowstorm that dropped up to 14" in the area and it was quite cold. I waited for my youngest to be picked up by her bus and then made the 20 minu...
