Why is Happy Days represented? Did they star in something I don't know about?

Just chiming in to say LESS THAN 150 DAYS LEFT!
Also, is it bad that every time I read the word "trebuchet" I think of flinging trolls?
Also: ROHAN! I dressed as Eowyn one year for Halloween, in her riding garb.
Room names: How about Sereni-Tree Suite? Random Pixelated Residence? Secret Hidey Spot? etc. etc.

I like the Sereni-TREE suite, personally. Very catchy.
Yay! 150 days! That doesn't sound like much, even though it's nearly 5 months!

The secret hidey spot getas my vote as well.
Yes, I live in lil ole england. Sorry, I thought it was common knowledge by now.
Which is why i haven't rung your door bell already.
What I did do (inspired by the embarrasment over whining like an idiot) I dug up my contacts book and did a little bit of phoning around to find people who sell leather who may have scrap (yup, I hit upon the grand idea of practicing on scraps all by my little self)and i've been picking apart old bags trying to work out how it was done. no luck on searching the net, but I didn't spend that long, more tonight. I'm hoping its possible to improvise a lot of the tools.
It a sort of step in the right direction. I just wish I could find the supplier in the north, there has to be some somewhere!

May be common knowledge, but I am a new browncoat on the block (hmm...might make a catchy band name...). Now I know 
Yep, scraps are fun and usually easy to find. As far as the tools, yes, it is easy to convert common household items to the usage you may need. Let me know what you need, and I can tell you what to use.
Does this mean we won't be seeing you at DragonCon?
Holding until you get back, Captain.

Trebuchet---"Trollbuchet"---yeah, I can see that. Never thought to put it to that use, though.
*scribble, scribble, scribble..."trollbuchet"...I can do that*
Rohan-esque may be a better description. I have the leather "surcoat" with the 200 or so steel and copper plates sewn to it, but not much beyond that. I will have to throw together the rest (in between finishing of the wife's armor, building my Mal costume, and building her Kaylee costume...oh, and the "trollbuchet).
Until then.

no, I will be at D*C. touchwood, failing acts of god or other more vindictive types. Or Blair and Bush having a spat and Bush declaring war on the Uk. (it could happen, way things are going...)
Part of the reason im whinig so much about jobs is that I'm trying to find another one to pay for it all! (other than general career anxiety etc.)
I really want to dress up now.
Trollbuchet. I shall bring ammo.
(I found a place selling a different variety of hides, from about 2 pounds a sq foot up to 5, they didn't mention scrap, but i'm going to ask, enquire about minimum orders. Next is identirying the tools i need to start off, and find out where I can get them from!) (see, I can do things!) **********************************************************

Good. I look forward to seeing you there.
Basic tools you will need:
If you plan on carving patterns in the leather, hobby knives (X-acto knives) with a variety of blades...if not that, a razor blade. Also, something that you can draw on leather with (you'll have to experiment to find out what works on your leather).
To stich it all together, you will need a needle and strong thread. (Genius, that, eh?) Seriously, it would be best if you get ahold of an awl or any other round, sharp implement with a handle. That way, you can pre-punch the holse and save wear and tear on your fingers. It's a nuisance to have to stop sewing for fifteen minutes while you staunch the flow of blood because your skin provided less resistance to the back of the needle than the leather provided to the pointy end.
If these are not your intentions, let me know what you plan on doing, and I can offer suggestions from there. I have worked on leather ranging from 14-16oz (for armor) all the way down to garment leather (for my wedding outfit).
I really hope to be able to build the trollbuchet now...I would love to see trolls flying around DragonCon.
Holding until you get back, Captain.
