We will be practicing at our usual location in Desert Breeze Park at 12 noon.

Please bring drinks or ice chests if you are able to. If not other members usually have enough to share.

For any new members joining us, the practice location is off the corner of Durango and Twain on the Southwest corner of the park. If you turn in off of twain you will see a parking lot on your left with a children's playground behind it. We are usually able to get one of the gazebos off the playground. Loaner weapons and shields will be available for anyone not currently owning equipment of their own.

See you on the field of battle

Good news! I can make this one! I was mistaken last week. I thought I had a friend's birthday party on the 19th, but it was really on the 13th.

Bad news: It was fairly awkward when he told me this.

I'm going to bring the new helmet I made from 9 oz leather. It's not as nice as anything you make Taco, but as long as it works, I'll be happy.

I'll hook up the webcam to the laptop, they won't be the best pic but I'll try and get a decent one. Maybe it's 8 oz leather, but that's armor grade, right? It measures between 3 and 4mm. Now I'm not so sure that's armor grade. On the inch side, it's the very first tick, what is that???

I bought it from Tandy leather. They had 'Double shoulder' hides on sale for $25.00 ($1.99 a foot). I met this guy Devin from the ECS who knew you Kurn.

Konradr

PS: Well, after reading up on measurements and the Dag rules (3/16) which converts to like 4.75mm, I think my helmet leather is a hair too thin. (##@%$$&@@$$%%!!!) So I will have to add a layer of like suede or something or stud it with metal studs or rivets or something to make it official armor. For now, it just protects my head from bruises. (Once again ##$$%^&@#@!!!) Please excuse my abuse of the keyboard.

Here's pictures of my helm from my crappy webcam:

PS: Actually, measuring with a ruler marked in 16ths of an inch, there are many pieces on my helmet that seem to be 3/16ths and some that are very close, maybe, like I said, a hair slimmer. All from the same hide, but I guess that is to be expected with Leather. I'll bring a ruler for Surt to check the helmet. So far, the ocular guard and rear neck guard are 3/16ths, the wall of the helm plates seem to be 3/16ths but may be shy, the ear flaps seem to be a little shy too.

Sorry Konradr. There was a change of schedule and I won't be coming down until Monday. So I'll miss practice this week but I'll definitely be there next week. Wink

Ok Sem, just remind me next week and I'll bring out the shoulder pads.

Don't think I'm going to make this one. My back is just starting to feel better from last week and I know if I go I won't be able to resist picking up a sword.

DON'T DO IT KIL! I've gone to almost every one of my realms practices since I broke my collar bone. Sure I did herald for the first few weeks. But I still abandoned my sling two weeks early because I couldn't resist. It's too hard! It's not worth it! LOL. Wink

Thx guys, good fighting today. I personally liked the 'pillage and plunder' game, the first one. Maybe fewer stuff to grab would keep it from lasting so long. Also if you are running with the plunder, you can defend without dropping it, but if you stop to fight, you would have to drop it. Hope you all liked it too.

Congrats to our tournament winners: Taco and Smithy (ROS)
