Just read this topic and had to laugh I read the hobbit and the lord of the rings series in my per usual 4 days for all four.

My collection feels very small after seeing that. So how long has that been accumulating and where did you but your spears.

TV whats that?

Well here is my first Entry to the contest. The pictures are a bit small but they probably can be zoomed http://s1374.photobucket.com/user/wmarucha99/library/Match%20the%20Picture%20Contest On me is my 45lb longbow 1 darksword bastard sword 1 windlass uthberth 2 Musha Katanas 1 windlass 1860 Calvary...

I remember seeing a pair of wool pants in brown or grey on KOA yes they are about 20 30 bucks but they look nice too.

Though probably not an ideal thing to do on the go be simple and just take your boots or shoes off with your socks and cross that way, easy enough if your footwear isn't complicated to put on.

well this really isn't a how to at the moment but more of a question of if anyone knows fully how to do it if they have done it and and how it went. I am planning to use this method on a few projects I personally have always fancied making blades with a bit of extra hey here I am but don't try anyth...

Well after a combined 6 hours of fine sanding with 320 grit sand paper and being covered with carbon and slag dust here are a few pics of it nearing completion. Have a small snag though I have this neat pattern on about 5 inches of the blade on both sides it looks neat but should I keep it there all...

Found something neat when cleaning it a bit under the carbon buildup on the fuller I uncovered that we accidentally made a Damascus type pattern from heat treatment. Will post some pictures btw finally figured out that my brother was using the Type 1 sword as a blade pattern. Will also have some pic...

I forgot to take pictures while in progress :shock: It's still a bit rough we have yet to do the final finishing. Specs 26 1/4 overall 21 1/2 bla...
