I'm thinking of getting a warbow, but I'd like the cheapest nastiest thing a soldier would have... Im sort of imagining a rough, 'unpainted', knotted, elm stick, no horn nocks, anywhere between 90 and 140 pounds. What do other people think would be the typical issue of kit? 140lb bow? Good luck wit...

rivet over with a washer?

nice video, been flowing your blog for some time, good stuff

For the top set, interference fit. The scabbard is slightly tapered, as are the fittings. As the weight of the whole thing is bourne by the upper fittings, security isn't an issue. The bottom set is tapered too but I put a couple of small brass panel pins into the back, through the fittings and int...

thanks

Matt's Dark Age stuff is really nice. Matt, how long have you been making Dark Age scabbards for, seems the Dark Ages are a real draw to you. Since Yesteryear...or possibly Yore. I forget now. Now b**ger off, the pair of you. The Dark Lord then drew a veil over the thread, truly sending it to a dee...

another theroy i heard about the brass edges was that it slows the rusting process as copper has a slight natural charge to it so the brass links act as a sacrificial body so that the iron doesn't rust or corrode as quickly. similar to some ships that have large blocks of brass attatched to the hul...

You sir, are a master scabbard maker! Paul And you, sir, are looking for a discount on your next scabbard. :wink: Thanks Paul, and everyone else.
