Finally, one more project completed! Amusingly enough, I found setting all the straps the most difficult in all of this! The tooling of the big plates was relatively easy, with the pressure of failing growing as I was affixing every piece one after the other... I am none the less really happy with the results so far, and can only hope that it will bring its new owner many hours of pleasure on the field! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B05NBo5n4gC/?igshid=1m3y87zidqjv7

Decided I would set a copper crest on that helm. Why? Well... because why do something simple when you can complicate your life!? 😅 #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz30oxKnd3l/?igshid=17s4sae06ysbp

Had an awesome training day today, thanks to Hazard, Shane, Russell, Travis and Mark! We all got to get some armour on and trade blows (except Shane; boooooo 😂). Took out the new helm for the first time and I am super happy with the results! Between that and my wonderful Natasha ordering sushi for supper; makes it hard to top! #happysundays #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0e5tnonJja/?igshid=1du2k40xgkxh2

Nice end to the weekend; got some training done, the kids got to spend some time with one of their new friends, and ended with a nice impromptu potluck dinner in the fading afternoon sun! Proof that you can still get medieval with kids around! It’s almost like a big family 😊 Big thanks to Theo and Russell, always a pleasure to have you gents over. To the rest of you in Ramsgaard, we will catch you after Crown! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby #happystepdad (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1m-aEvnkpS/?igshid=w678utthg43o

Production line at Sir Mark’s for some plastic gauntlets. Sure they may not be as pretty as some nice steel ones, but it gets people out on the field a lot faster than other alternatives, and certainly good enough to keep scrapes and bruises off in training! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eOG8rnq8N/?igshid=1tt9009e0ze5h

Turns out I had a little helper today! Even reminded me to make all the tools safe and unplugged when I was done 😄 #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby #proudstepdad #proudstepfather #homeschooling (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FarcwHQKZ/?igshid=gdvdymivhtbq

From concept, embossing, cutting and riveting... it’s been a journey for this one project! Glad to see it nearing completion and looking forward to seeing this brigandine’s owner on the field! #sca #antirsca #adrianempire #armourbuilding #medievalcombat #intentionalliving #intentionallife #tirrigh #workshopfun #mynerdyhobby #fighterlife #medieval #medievalstyle #medievalcostume #medievalarmor #medievalfight #makingarmour #learningtheropes #armour #armourbuildday #armourbuildingworkshop #medievalarmour #fightshape #kamloops #medievalhobbykamloops #kamloopsmedievalhobby (at Kamloops, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00xvAZH3bw/?igshid=lbsr5r3sqt1j
