Re: Presentation of my first soft kit (with photos)

I remember back in the early 2k's hearing about a big debate (read "Argument") over belts in a Viking/Anglo Saxon group (Regia, I think). The main thrust was over the width with some parties advocating 1 inch or less! But all the 'factions' were agreed on rings being fine if not preferred.

Re: Arbedo--New Ranger Sword?

As a suggestion, add some packing between the blade and the wood when you wet form. If it ends up a little loose its easier to fix then if its tight and you can't get your sword out.

Re: The Adventurer's Guide: Weapons

As the Guide is supposed to be an In Character book, I'd try not to use meters as a unit. Feet&Inches (or Yards) are better, but if it was me I'd use body measurements such as Paces, Arms-length, Handspan, Hands-breadth and Thumbs-width. So for instance "A Greatbow/Longbow/Warbow is a Man's...

Re: Thoughts on Civil War "Dog Tents?"

Napoleonic Redcoat here. In my Period there were instructions how to make a tent from two blankets, two firelocks and four bayonets. So we assume tent groups of four..... Packing a sodden blanket into your pack must of been horrible, especially when any dry(ish) clothing would of been in there to. T...

Re: Dwarven Blade Examples

The only thing I can remember The Professor mentioning about Dwarven swords it that they are broad bladed..... Well those look broad to me. Much as I like leaf blades (and if I could justify having one, I would in a heartbeat), I'll agree with you that multiple fullers do look Khazad...... And if a ...

Re: Our Witcher cousins

Nice find.

When you wrote "Witcher" I first though 'Geralt cosplay' but was mistook.

Re: Arrow build

How much twist have you put on those fletchings? I do like making use of the natural angle of the barbs, although I tend to just nip the trailing corner off. Not a hard crop like the grey arrow..... I'll have to see if I've got any left of my handcut fletchings. Wild turkey does look a lot nicer the...

ECHO Historical Textile. I think most of their sales are through Etsy.
Thank you........ Knowing my luck it'll be a couple of quid for the needles and about two score for the postage.
