Ah quit your bellyaching! At least you will have a banner! I got word from Isabella E that she won’t be able to ship mine out until the end of May! :'(

go to the fabric store and make a simple on in cotton or something. just to have your colors up!

Arrr! You are EVIL! Stop it! I'm not listening to you!  :o

I just ordered a mace from Wulflund. A flanged one to be exact, it cost me 125 USD, with the shipping it's 145. Currently I am saving aluminum beverage cans to fill with water and have a smashing fest with my new mace when it comes. Not sure when it will arrive but the handle will be 60CM which I think is a decent reach.

Saving cans is a great idea. We do the same with plastic bottles and sharp swords. Doesn't cost anything but the water to fill them. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I spent the day modifying my mail chausses and attaching them to the c-belt I bought a while back. I had to modify that too. So far so good, suspension seems comfortable. But combat is the real test, and although I practice with my pell each week, I haven't fought since last fall.  :-[

Yeah I got to get to work on cleaning mine, my main issue is last time I cleaned mine my hands were rubbed raw from cleaning them, NOT looking forward to getting dry raw hands from it, even with gloves on I still got rubbed raw cause I had to feel the maille to make sure the oil was gone.

Just remembered I have a Von Atzinger inspired War shield sitting in storage to replace the one that got too small and I think I can even Guige strap it with a lot of modification.

So that's: Buckler- Enlarge hand grip; Old Tourney Shield- make into Centergrip kite; Old Too-Dang-Heavy War Shield- Turn into Tourney shield.

Here! Are you freaking happy now!  ;)

I have to still stencil the griffin and get some more bias tape for the bottom border but all in all not bad for a couple hours work on the machine which worked a lot faster after I realized I still had the heavy thread loaded on it for armor undergarments.  :-[
