I'm alive!
Wow, somehow things got crazy and I stopped checking a lot of the places I normally keep active on. Sorry about that. Not sure anyone noticed but I'm back if I missed any direct addresses. PS - my girlfriend's site is getting well on its way, friend and I are working on it a lot, so check it out and...
Re: Bows?
Lukas (saluki bows) has the best bows (in my opinion) and his how-to photos are good. My girlfriend's site is www.mountdarchery.NET if you want to see what we're up to and come to some clinics, but since she learned from Lukas, you will be learning the same stuff he teaches, only from a cute redhead;)

Mine is fairly warn, I suspect it was used, if not at least carried, by someone for a while before I got it. Since yours is a higher aesthetic quality, it probably wasn't used much before sold, so it needs wearing in maybe? I'd say if you can find a way to stretch the mouth of the sheeth a bit witho...

I'm a little sleepy right now from taking care of my post-op girlfriend, but Jack, are you suggesting ringmaille was invented to explain medieval artistic expression? Could you expand on that? In my studies, chainmaille is a very very widespread armour throghout a very long span of time. And yes, ki...

Studded leather, brigandine vest, coat of plates, banded armour, plate/leather combinations. I don't have any proof of any of these being referenced in Middle Earth, but as a ranger in a heavy combat situation you're going to want to get the most armour with the least resitrctions (as opposed to a k...

I think the difference to note is that Herward is refering to reproduction historicals and Greg is refering to craftsman's creativity. I support both, so long as both keep functional capacity in mind. But if you're making reproductions, then make reproductions and stick to the style you're studying.

Sorry for such a delay, It's been quite busy getting this school stuff done with. I haven't actually gotten to altering the boots, but I did do some test samples with the bees wax. It seams to me that it would work well but it might be a good idea to oil the outside of the seam, and rubbing the bees...
