thought I would let you all know that I am still around. I have a lot going on right now with the medieval reenactment group that I an a part of, I'll still be checking in now and then.

wow medieval , no wonder we get along do you do jousting?
-
No we don't do jousting but we do dress up in full combat armor and beat the crap out of one another. The weapons we use are made out of rattan...
-
Sounds like the S.C.A., wonder how many others do re-enacting here? I only do farm shows, dress up circa 1920 which isn't that big a stretch for me.

I'd think that you might get a trifle testy if someone puts a dent in your hand hammered armor.
-
Getting the dents is the fun part... I don't fight any more however my son does as well a half a dozen other friends that I help do armor repairs for...
-
Sounds kinda painful. Don't think I want to be in the can when they are playing kick the can. Would be neat to see though. Nothing like that around here that I know of.
-
I don't do the reenactments but I do play with chain maille. I'm working on a hauberk when I have the time. I made a jig for making coils fast and easy. I'm using a basic 4-1 box weave. I play with some of the more advanced weaves but only to learn the pattern. I want to finish the hauberk before I start another project.

Howdy all... Thought I would let everyone know that I am still kicking and I will try to log on more often.
-
Hiya, good to see another metal pounder here.

We miss ya here but we understand life comes first sometimes.
