You should come out and fight with that stuff. Nice work.

Such a pretty shield. Hope it lasts through everything you put it through. Nice *!

Here is some pictures of our toys. Most of them made by me.

My old fiberglass cored 5' 9" red / green. Snapped a couple months ago in the handle at an event (someone may have stepped on it when it was laying aside and didnt tell me or i hit like a monster). RIP little buddy.

Three brothers. Three red greens all with a solid 5/8" fiberglass core at 4' long. Each is counterweighted different for each owner. I built them but my realm leader made the handle and sewn cover on the blue one.

All right, I might as well.



Swords are in order from lightest to heaviest, left to right. Cross guards are made using the bike tire method.





The buckler on the left was the first piece of equipment I ever made. Part of me wants to get rid of it after building the better one (right), but part of me doesn't.

Most of the stuff I make for other people is usually a little prettier than these.

This is my first shield attempt, and it's probably completely ridiculous, but I'm very excited to test it in combat. It' a coreless spiral, so it's super lightweight, but also quite durable.

Why did you cross two handles on a circular shield?

I'm hoping it will make the cone a little more stable, and the x is for more comfortable to hold than a +.

slap a nipple on that and you can plastidip it into a boob. Just sayin'

Hahaha! Every time I rush or bash, I could yell boob smash!

We had a local guy build a very similar shield not too long ago. I works okay, but spears are gonna * you off SO much. How big is it?

It's 22", but I'm a pretty small being, so that's all I need.

Atlantis' "Imperial Armory," all loaner equipment. It's grown since... I just always liked this picture.

I really like that weapon caddy. How hard is it to transport?

The legs fold inward; the body itself is hinged and folds in half. So it's super easy. It's not really made to transport the weapons, specially with polearms in the center. But we've made it work when needed.

I want one. And soon I shall have one (thx for the idea)
