Re: What's everyone working on?
Seemed to me he thought it through quite well. Family and dream career have moved people farther than that for ages, so best of luck to him. As regards swords and other weapons, he's probably better off where he's going. Most of the Mountain West is very friendly to that sort of thing. Utah may not ...

Re: Existence of the Slipjoint?
You know... I think I have one of those bottom ones. I got it ages ago for my 18th c. stuff, and if memory serves was a little disappointed. Hold on... ah! here we go - folding-knife-comparison.jpg Here's a better look, compared with an original. (where "original" just means "made in ...

Re: Existence of the Slipjoint?
As an additional option, I think I've seen some of the Godwin folders carried by other 18th c. vendors. I think sometimes they have modern nation of origin marks on the blades or are from stainless, so if you care it's worth checking before purchase. https://www.townsends.us/collections/knives-sheat...

Re: Overnight trip to test clothing
Wecome, and what a wonderful trip! The Pacific Northwest is gorgeous, I'm jealous! :mrgreen: You're off to an amazing start! The nice thing about Hobbits is you've got a lot of nice off the shelf options for packs and such from the 18th c. folks. A plain linen sack with rope straps is good for a &qu...

Re: A Beginner's Dreams
Hello Wraith, well met! To follow up on Peter's excellent advice, a couple other things you can work on even with very meagre means - - practice making a nice tight bedroll with what you have on hand. While we play with period woolens in our games, remember that the characters we read about are just...

Re: Middle-earth Watercraft
That is fantastic!! I assume Udwin made his craft - were the other two your own respective work, or simply very fortuitous finds? I'd not thought about a cloth-covered hull for Gondorians, but come to think of it... with the amount of sailcloth that must be around Gondor and Dol Amroth, it's a compe...

Re: Thoughts on Civil War "Dog Tents?"
Hey screenahollic, thanks for the research rabbit hole! I found this video: 7exUziPjruI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7exUziPjruI ... and interestingly, the "Type I" ACW Shelter half and the German WWI Zeltbahn I was referring to appear to be basically the same thing. If I'm finding the ...

Re: Presentation of my first soft kit (with photos)
Nicely done, and it looks very functional! I love the little fish drawing especially. :mrgreen: I'm curious about your belt! This is more a general reenactor/LARP/cosplay culture question than anything specific to Middle-earth. I was under the impression the tongueless ring belt was just something w...

Re: Elven Ranger Clothing Concept
I do like the collar of the shirt and the robe, though the crossed over overtunic/waistcoat does read a bit too eastern to my eye also. Though I love the sash and neckline. Hrm.. not sure, there. What materials are you thinking? I do love raw silk generally, especially for warmer weather. And I thin...
