Fair points, thanks

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, golf balls would work well or small rocks.

I don't think so as raw hide deterioats in the wet.

Yeah, I'll try to get around to a how to video for this.

Yep, I love medieval re-enactment.

Ha, I've had that a few times.

@@Medieval_Mayhem You could’ve been his stunt double! (if he did anything involving any action lol) Great video!

@@trygvekvalvik Ha, thanks.

Depends on the time period as the post roman Britons were a different to what European Christians were.

There's many years of evolution there in terms of the development of the Christian faith and moves back into paganism so it's not an easy answer to give. Christianity evolved a lot during the 600 or so years of Anglo-Saxon reign.

@Medieval_Mayhem ahhhh ok I understand that and that makes since. Thank you very much.

Fantastic

Thanks so much

Not yet. I've had a bit going on

Thank you

100%

Thanks - going to make some more of these quivers soon

I disagree. There’s a lot of re-enactors and enthusiasts who portray Norse wearing face paint in ways that are distinctively based on patterns from the American Indians or Mario cultures. That is appropriation.

@@Medieval_Mayhem The Norse vikings of Scotland absolutely wore war paint. Likely carried that tradition over during the 700 years they spent living together with the Scottish and the Celtic descendants of the British Isles, especially given how much other culture they shared as a result. Either that or mainland Scandinavians picked it up from contact with people alike or descended from people like the Germanic Harii tribe. Regardless the Norse had been painting their faces for some 200 years before making contact with the people of North America, Africa or Polynesia. Scandinavians and moreover Europeans, (granted uncommonly) have painted their faces for more than 1000 years, likely even longer still. You don't appear to be Native American, Māori or African and judging by your accent you weren't raised in North America or Scandinavia or even anywhere in Europe. So what is it that makes you so cocksure of what is and isn't "appropriate" about this subject matter? "Cultural appropriation" isn't as simple as wearing or using the same thing in differing or similar ways and if you want to push that angle I'd say that Mjölnir, a prominent symbol of Norse religion, is one of the most obscene cases of "cultural appropriation" you'll ever see. Please stop trying to ruin relations between otherwise friendly peoples. Monkey see, monkey do. All of us use each others ideas & inventions for our own purposes. How do you think a culture is created in the first place?

It's a great project

Ha, not Jack Black but okay.

Ha!

Ha, I use this for my border collie. It's great.

That's a cool idea

Glad you enjoyed it

Doesn't seem to be

Hahaha - there are a few possibilities about how the carved teeth seem to have come about.

True, a lot of re-enactors etc use inkle looms to make belts etc, not necessarily at festivals or events as a historical piece, but it's a useful tool to have.

Ha, thank you.

After about 5 years, this one is a little tired, but the PVA joints are still quite good. Looking to make a few more out of oak.

There are some depictions of this being used in naval warfare and seige warfare. But I have been able to lob quite large stones quite accuratly over maybe 60-80 meters.

@@Medieval_Mayhem Very nice 😎

@@Medieval_Mayhem Do you happen to have a TikTok?

Interesting isn't it. Must have just been through experience. But I bet a lot of people did slip

It's a great sword. Fabri do excellent work

Interesting, I've never considered that

I've not heard of that term.

@@Medieval_Mayhem it's an adaptation of a more standard sling with a knot that fits into a groove on the end of the staff.. doesn't slide around on release and the other end can be secured for greater accuracy

@@werftv4580 Very interesting, I'll look into that.

@@Medieval_Mayhem I am not an expert, but my neighbor in TX was, he taught me a lot, he was very good, he could hit a paper plate with half a standard brick almost every time at 25 yards...

Thanks so much.

I didn't. I wouldn't reccomend - only drink from the horn once it has been cured with bees wax or similar.

Yeah, this one could certainly be used for camp craft - I'd really like to know more about the origional.

Shoulders, elbows, the sternum, back and knees would be very vulnerable to concussive force from something like this.

The bow stringer is much kinder to the bow, especially for heavier draw bows.

No, not specifically. This isn't a reproduction - rather a piece of wooden furniture using no modern joinery techniques that could quite easily be achieved in the medieval period. There are illustrations that show a similar style of bench seat - but without enough detail to clearly define the components and assembly.

@@Medieval_Mayhem - understood, and thanks!

Thanks. This video was designed as a response to a lot of online chatter at the time about the AS chronicles.

I chose not to. You could of course, just as you could put a hole in the upright for the cross bar to go through.

Thanks

You’re welcome 😊

Yeah, I use my own one of these often enough - does have marks in it from use as I sometimes do sparing with it. Not so many of these around these days. Unsure if cold steel is still producing them.

True. Quite a few differet types of falchions around.

There are mentions of mauls in various texts, spelling and translation vary so it isn't super clear as to exactly when a tool like this was first used as a weapon. But I imagine it could have been quite effective.

Fair, And to get a better dye affect I should have dyed the leather first.

Thanks so much

Fair comment, contempoary history was written about those who could pay for someone to record it. And weapons of the common folk didn't get much attention.

That's a theory. His wife, Edith Swan neck is said to have identified him by marks only a lover would know. So equally could have been scars or birthmarks or even love bites.

@@Medieval_Mayhem I have read this but find it hard to believe Edith was anywhere near the battlefield, the wives of other nobles on the battlefield were in London and on hearing of the defeat were taken to Chester.

@@hetrodoxlysonov-wh9oo impossible to know for sure. Most of what is "known" about Hastings is Norman propoganda or at least biased. There's a book called House of Godwin which is probably the least biased account and balances the narative from the Saxon account.
