New Tent
Sabha and I ordered a new tent from Panther yesterday! We've been planning to do so for... only about 10 years now. We appreciate all the advice that we got from Aonghus on what would be most period, best value, most versatile - but we ignored most of his good advice and did what we wanted to anyway...

Bow down to the Baron
At the last meeting , we discussed the possibility of hooking up with the local SCA (and impressing them with our great material wealth and medieval savvy).

Re: Armor Making
It appears that shopforleather.com goes to Tandy. I found the Marshal's Handbook here and it has a ton of information.
Heavy Leather: stiff, oak-tanned leather at least 1/8 inch (3.2mm) thick. Often referred to as belt leather or 11oz. leather.
Do most of you guys use 11oz?

Re: Armor Making
Sure! I would like to start putting together enough armor to get into some sparring this year sometime (if not Beltaine, then after getting some stuff at Pennsic).

Armor Making
Where does everyone get their leather from? I was on Tandyleather last night and the prices looked a little high. If I wanted to get enough leather to start a suit of armor (I assume a Lorca), though any other ideas are welcome - how much should I get, what thickness? I seem to remember 10 OZ? Do I ...
