Re: Just finished a pour.
Those look amazing! What type of mold did you use?

Re: trousers history question...
I've been doing some digging around, but unfortunately there are so few extant garments from that period and the art is not very detailed, so I've had a hard time getting a handle on the "when", let alone the "why". Marc Carlson's Breches/Braies/Trousers page has some discussion ...

Re: Keeping ourselves honest...
I agree with Ursus that your hand was one of the things that caught my eye, and also that while fingerless leather gloves feel very movie/LARP fashion, they might serve a purpose in this situation. Hmmm... As an aside, my wife said to tell you that she really enjoyed the composition of the "eng...

Re: On Bedrolls and Comfort
Oooh... the Rechteckmantel is really interesting. Not reading German: are there rules of thumb for sizing? eg - "about heel-to-nose high, about two heads wider than your height" from the line drawing? Are they contemporaneous with sewn hoods? I realize it's a redundancy, but I'm curious i...

Re: Dwarven Bocksten Inspired cloak
Nice work getting out in the icky weather, and nice pictures, as well! Couple thoughts about some of of your observations - It was so windy on top of the ridge that it was hard to stand up, the cloak still kept me warm, the only problem I had was it billowing out and letting in the cold air, my solu...

Re: Beware the Mops and Sociopaths.
Gatekeeping is bad. Gatekeeping (as I understand it) is all about keeping people out of a space (physical, digital, ideological, what have you), due to some sort of bias, that those people have every right to participate in. I don't want to see that here. I think what I am interested in is making su...

Re: On Bedrolls and Comfort
I think another angle on "2) He has spent more time wandering and sleeping in the wilds than any of us have been alive" that seems related to acclimation but slightly different is familiarity with the terrain. In addition to being used to the cold, Aragorn knows the land like the back of h...

Re: Beware the Mops and Sociopaths.
I confess, I get really itchy hearing about codes of conduct because of how they've been weaponized in the software world recently. The ability to read people out of a community is just a great big honeypot for sociopaths, and a recurring pattern has been relative newcomers showing up and giving th...

Re: Beware the Mops and Sociopaths.
I tend to agree with Pete, Greg, and Elleth about our hobby being niche enough that it is less likely to attract a lot of attention, but I think that if folks are worried about it, there are some concrete steps that could be taken to keep this corner of Tolkien enthusiasm focused largely the way tha...

Re: Working on a Bree-lander kit
Finally got my soft kit picture up, so I think I'm ... done? Ish? For now, at least? That doesn't seem right... I keep trying to reach the 'D' word, but it constantly eludes me. Yeah, I'm not feeling confident about it, hence the "ish". Maybe "at a solid place" is a better way o...

Re: 2018 Southeast Fall Moot
What sort of activities did you manage? Mostly campcraft sort of things - fire making, campfire cooking, and the like. Some forging and some quiet crafting with supplies folks brought during the heat of the day. There were plans for archery, but a bit of rain came through right about when we wanted...
