One the diameter of the rivets.
Now, as to what size rivets you get, thats up to you, I suggest ones at least 4mm in diameter.

Just to confuse matters, I imagine that most of what you have been reading is based upon 30 year old and older evidence, not to mention some ridiculous extrapolation. Essentially, the modern view, based upon the past few decades of digging and dating and so on, is that in the UK, the Celts never rea...

As a general statment, I think there are many myths in reenactment, often down to not looking into this enough, there is plenty for everyone to do, some things are not done by all, that is life then and unchangable but many things are open to at least interpreting in quite sensible ways. Especially...

What to do with grandparents WW2 stuff
When clearing out my grans attic, my dad found my grandfathers WW2 naval hats. They are still in good condition, I think it was HMS Argus he was on, as a marine. He can't quite decide whether to keep them or get rid of them. But how to get rid of them? Throw them in the bin? Is there a museum that m...

I understood the whole punk rocker with flowers in my hair to be a kind of melding of '77 and '69 together, I think the song is supposed to be about wishing you were back in the good old days when you could really rebel, not like today, when you get ignored. The rest of it is fine, though I'm not ve...

My general understanding is that after the 16th century, when religion was somewhat more open to the masses, Churches in general became more sacred. I mean the chuirch as a whole, none of this high alter only for the consecrated stuff. Of course people would still have gossiped etc whilst waiting fo...

well, yes, I dont do any of these things. Yet in theory, if we are to take the portrayal of religion at least semi-seriously, we aught to be acting out some of them. We could even go so far as to have several priests doing mass whilst a bunch of us stand the other side of the rood screen and watch, ...

Come to think of it, the topic is also related to that thread to to diwth moving properly in period kit. Although the subject is somewhat more intellectual. For example, can you recall not knowing how lightning happened? Then, any ideas how we can give a better idea of the movement of things through...

Thanks marcus, but 20 seconds with amazon turns up the book in question. Looks interesting, I shall put it on my list of books to buy in the future. I don't know much about church and religious history, but it seems to me that the need for drama etc is a constant, although its exact intensity waxes ...

lack of understanding of context of history
I visited Rosslyn Chapel earlier this week. Its a couple of years since I was last there, and I noticed a few more things about it I hadnt seen before, and also came up with a few pertinent thoughts. Since I last visited it, I have learnt more about medieval imagery, design and all the rest of it, a...

Boiled linseed oil and rosin varnish were also used, one recipe calls for the sallet to be put in an oven until very hot then have the varnish brushed over it 'until it stops bubbling', it then dries and is a varnish coat. What is interesting this varnish is of a brownish cast in liquid but in thin...

The strange thing is, a battle looks/sounds so much worse from the sidelines than when actually in it! I'm constantly & pleasantly surprised how few real injuries there are considering what we do for fun! Thats good on both counts, for how scary it looks from teh side, and how little injuries we ta...
