I've seen Tod of Tod's stuff selling a razor. Maybe 6 of 1 has done too.
A brush is a little harder, but if you search on here I'm sure someone has had the same problem before.
I suspect 6 of 1 has also made an ear scoop.

Welcome to the site. If you are happy to put some photos up of something you have made or written, there's the "creative works" sub forum. If it's period specific, you can also try in one of them. If you want to sell something there is buy and sell, although if you are selling regularly that's not a...

No, removing it would be silly. Assuming of course you are performing it within a normal sort of venue, and not whilst wandering down the street.

Usually wool yes, if you are talking the UK. Just find thin wool, that's the important point that lots of people overlook. Plus when you are actually active it is okay to take off your outer layer, the cotehardie etc is for show or keeping warm when cold.

Henri might have accidentally posted on the wrong thread.

P.s. thanks Paul.

If you are still around, the first port of call should be Lawrence Principe's book "The secrets of alchemy", for a general overview. There's no need to read any other book by anyone else, except the early ones by F. Sherwood Taylor and E. J. Holmyard for other background. Most populist modern books ...

Two that spring most readily to mind are: Kay Rouse and her husband do leather framed ones: http://www.tabulae.org/company.php?id=115 and are okay for late 15th through 16th century. The tying on at the side thing isn't authentic. Period Glasses are pretty good and authentic: http://www.periodglasse...

I shall mention this to some Vikings I know. I'm interested in 13th to 16th century, magic, scottish history, architecture. There's a good chance I have many of the books you have for sale but you never know. Have you also considered using a service such as librarything? Okay, past 200 or so books i...

Definitely a hood. With a very small liripipe. That's almost all you see people wearing, apart from sometimes female head wrappings. It doesn't look like hoods were lined at that time either, or at least by the 1320's or so you sometimes see different colours inside the hood than outside, but not ea...

Wooden boxes, pouches, pottery vessels. The unused dyestuff would be kept in whatever people had. Of course, once in solution it would be used and thrown away after. I am not aware of any archaeological excavationn finding artefacts which have dye residues in them, but I certainly haven't read all a...

It will be. HOw accurate you want to be then affects exactly how nerdy you can get about the wool you use compared to your status.
Put it this way, I've never heard of any evidence for most doublets not being made of wool. (Unless you are rich enough to afford the alternatives of coruse)

I had stuff collected by a friend. It's that expensive to get to from the frozen northlands that I'm better off spending the money on things from traders and asking someone else to pick them up or get them posted.

Sorry Griff, I've paid him already. Could sell you some of the leftovers.

A lot of this sort of thing was copied from 17th century civil war stuff, so the ultimate origin may lie with the sealed knot etc. Exactly what they base their commands on I don't know, but I think there are manuals from the period.

Welcome to the forum. It's a bit quiet these days due to the growth of facebook and suchlike, but I recalled Tanya here: https://opusanglicanum.wordpress.com/tag/c12th/ is rather into the 12th century. I'm afraid lots of people are too focused on fighting, but there are a reasonable number of living...

We're interested, have messaged you.

I guess Lulu would be an option. I'd need to look into it. It's only a bit over 15k words.

Not so far. I've had a look myself, there are a lot more images available now online, but nothing that I can see.

Hi, thanks for your interest, I'm glad to know my fame is spreading. I shall email you on the email you have in your signature.

Or you could post directly yourself in the "Societies" sub section. There you can see people asking about groups in their area, and some groups advertising themselves.

Welcome to the forum. I'm going to move your post tommorrow if I remember, because this isn't the right place for it. Re-enactment is an anarchic setup, so precisely what your son can do and attend depends on the group he wants to join. For instance, there are societies of groups which will permit 1...

I emailed him a couple of weeks ago, not heard anything back. Had heard earlier from him. Is he still talking to you?

Unfortunately, due to lack of money and inability to organise, there haven't been any big events of the Scottish wars of independence for several years, and I've not heard of any in 2017 either.

I am interested in knowing how the casting run went.

Not that I have heard of. You mean pre-Roman?

Tricky. I haven't bought much myself of that sort of thing, but basically a good shiny brooch is a start, there are various sellers out there, but ultimately you're probably best checking source material like the Museum of London dress accessories book first just to make sure. Then there are rings f...

Well if you need to people your royal court you know where to go.

The advert came up on stalkerbook, took me a second to go, I know that man.
