I made it with a hollowed log I found and a thick branch, pushed the branch through the hole, hammered it in snug then hammered in smaller sticks and twigs to make sure it was secured.

It was 4.5 feet and roughly 17 pounds, the handle section was about 3 feet. It was so fun to train with and swing.

Unfortunately I spotted some white mold inside the log and had to toss the whole thing, that was about 4 months ago and I miss it every day. I hope to make something similar soon.

I have roughly waist length hair, I love it to pieces. I have depression that's been passed through my family for generations, growing this hair has been one of the few things keeping me around because I've always had the goal of reaching mid-thigh length. It's been with me through thick and thin.

I struggle with keeping it brushed and cleaned, it sucks up so much of my energy and I hate the feeling of wet hair but because of my love for it I'm scared of ANY heat even if I know it's safe in moderation, I do get help with it from my boyfriend and it makes it a lot easier but it's still a struggle.

Now to the point of the post, do I get a buzz cut? Not super super short but like a 3 or 4 guard. With this buzz I wouldn't have to fight myself to get into the shower and deal with wet hair, I could keep myself cleaned more often I feel like.

I'm just scared of regretting it, it's been on my mind for weeks but I just can't make any decisions, I really am scared of losing this hair I love but it's just too much work for what my mental load can handle.

Help appreciated.

I'm just a young lad of 17 and these pictures don't show the full thickness of my facial hair so be merciful please, but do I have the face shape to pull off the mutton chops and moustache combo?

Currently I'm at a thickness where it isn't awful looking I'd say, a few friends of mine have said I can pull it off but I thought I'd get an opinion from the fellas with beard experience!

From Yurimedievalbrasil on YouTube and Instagram, I quite like this helmet and when I asked him about it he said it's a German 1380 Half Visor.

When I go looking for it nothing comes up, can someone point me towards someone who makes these? Or at least towards art that has this like the one above Yuri's head?

I don't think I've posted here before, but yeah here's me feel free to ask questions!

He couldn't find the sleeves so those are lost to time. However epic armory sells the sleeves separate so that's not an issue.

It fits like a glove and will look nice with my kit.

I asked cruciform or rondel, I finally got around to making a rondel dagger.

I will do a cloth handle wrap sometime but I had to make it to practice. It'll be a backup to my polehammer which I also made a post for.

Also met a guy at the practice who recognized me from my greatsword post, hello again if you see me here, you might remember this dagger :))
