2019 Knights School Link Collection
I taught a class about armour construction, economics, making armour fit, and the reasons why almost all SCA armour is sports armour. There were also lots of great conversations and requests for tips and hints.
Below are links that were requested during the weekend.
Gib and Bart's questions to prompt thinking about fighting:

How do I set a speed rivet?
What I call a speed rivet is called a 'double set rivet' in this Youtube.
Where do I buy speed rivets and what size?
I like Lefflers in Melbourne.
For fabric and Bunnings Garden edging I would suggest 8mm or 10mm shank.
Lefflers call speed rivets "Rivet Self Piercing"

This price is low and temporary, the nickel (silver) ones seemed to be closer to $80 per thousand.
If you do order, in the comments write "Hi Checkers Sir Bart sent me" :)
I don't get a kickback, it's just funny.
You make armour, do you have a website?

What do you make?
Currently I am practised at making basic SCA sports kits and 1350 kits appropriate for Combat of the Thirty. I am expert with the SCA combat rule set. I am familiar with about 6 LARP rule sets, 5 metal weapon rule sets, and the main three metal contact rule sets. I have basic blacksmithing skills, but am limited by the 100 mm throat on my propane forge.
Making decisions about armour is really hard! I need a guide!
I know, so I wrote a series of blog posts.

Um, how do you make that armoured singlet thing?

Duchess Sir Liadan (Rachel) taught a war commanding class, and said parts were based off your class. Got Notes?
