<DIV>Scott,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The best way to find the
correct positioning to hang your sheild would be if you could bring it
to one of the fighter practices along with a marker. Any one of us would
be glad to help.</DIV>

style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Greetings
to one and all,<BR><BR>Last November I posted a question as to the proper
construction of "Heater"<BR>style shields. The feedback I<BR>received was
great. So I'm asking for a little more help again. Due to<BR>mundane job
issues in December I had<BR>to postpone my pursuit of being involved in SCA.
I also had a computer hard<BR>drive crash and lost all of the<BR>questions I
had posted about Heater shields. The only thing I cant remember<BR>is the
proper positioning<BR>of the shield handle basket and leather strap for the
forearm. I held the<BR>shield by the upper right hand<BR>corner and then
marked a line from the corner perpendicular to the ground.<BR>Where on that
line should I place<BR>the shield handle basket? Maybe a better question
might be where should the<BR>top of the shield be in relation<BR>to the top
of ones head while in fighting stance? I would think that would<BR>dictate
where the handle should be<BR>positioned.<BR><BR>On another note can some
one direct me to information on names that were<BR>common from 1480 up to
about<BR>1580.<BR><BR>Scott<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Elfsea
