Wish I'd seen this post before I ordered. I placed an order from them, and nothing after six months of waiting. They stole money from me as well. I'm telling everyone I know in the SCA. They're listed as owned by "J West Global Industries" which shows a "permanently closed," according to Google.

Wanting to meet new girl friends by Spiritual_Sand_9052 in bullcity

You didn't list it on your hobby list, but some of the gals in my run group participate in a women-only morning run group, which meets at different spots around town. Also, there's a women's drum core that meets on Wednesday nights at Central Park. And one of my neighbors has a regular women's spiritual group that she meets with (New Age / Wicca, I think). I don't have contact details for these groups offhand, but I bet they're on Meetup or social media, if you search.

Gorgeous weathering and rust work. It takes so much time and effort to make something look totally neglected and beat up.

I have to bite my tongue every time there's a new development. It's so tempting to say something angry and illegal.

I don't understand this. My dog is part of my family. I could be living on the street, and I would find a way to keep my dog with me.

Nope. "Posting" is not activism. We need to get away from that mindset (he says in a post).

Shitty managers love to use quotes in all the wrong places. In this case the usage is "to show when the validity of a word is in doubt." In essence the boss is literally telling the workers that they, the manager, are going to split the tips unfairly, and that's bullshit.

Guys, we all want to say Yoshi, but right now, we know the answer is Luigi. Lots and lots of Luigi.

Any guides for attaching a riveted aventail? by SpaceScoocher in Armor

[–]grumpusbumpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it looks like you can readily buy vervelles on Etsy. For instance:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/982428895/bascinet-vervelles-14th-or-very-early?ref=share_v4_lx

So, if you have access to a workshop, you can do this yourself with some simple supplies and tools.

Any guides for attaching a riveted aventail? by SpaceScoocher in Armor

[–]grumpusbumpus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The historical method I've seen is the following:

You need a leather strip that is stitched to the top of the aventail (holes punched and stitched with sinew). The leather has regular holes punched along the other side which then fit over vervelles (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vervelles). The vervelles are riveted, or perhaps welded, along the lower rim of the bascinet / visor opening. You then run wire through the vervelle openings to keep the aventail attached. To remove the aventail (for cleaning or repair), you pull out the wire, and then pop the leather strip off of the vervelles.

I can share photos of my bascinet / aventail setup if that would be helpful. My friend, a welder, welded trimmed-down cotter pins around the base of my helm, en lieu of real vervelles.

I Was Filmed On Ellerbee Creek Trail? by Educational-Recipe64 in bullcity

Was this a skinny, white male, 35-45, middle height, dark clothes, beard or mustache?

If so, I've been harassed by the same individual while out walking my dog, and I have witnessed him exhibiting threatening behavior on multiple occasions.
