This was helpful as I have found that the steel/metal "pieces" that go onto the sword make them heavier. As a female that stands 5'2, I'm looking for something that won't make my sword so heavy lol I will have to try this out myself.
I love all of your guides, Mark. Thanks for putting all of this work into them. I've been practicing greatsword in softer battle games for many years now, but am looking to ease my way into SCA. Your videos are incredibly helpful and are gearing me up to make the switch. I'm very interested in your gauntlet design!
Wicked helpful vid! the hand rondels or besagew bit answered a burning question as I also have wisby style non grounding gauntlets I love and want to use SCA great weapon ! Now I have an answer. many thanks.
Could you show how you have your finger bucklers strapped? I've had challenges with figuring out how to keep them sitting in place (or straight up staying on my hand) while shifting my grip on the weapon.
Hi Mathew, I have a leather strap that my middle and ring finger slide into, and then I have a small elastic loop that goes on my middle finger and sets below the knuckle plate. This combo had kept my bucklers from ever flying off.
Hi Aaron, I made them. They are made of titanium, which was a giant pain. Spring steel is also good, I just didn't have the equipment to heat-treat them.

Nice work- I love fighting with my 2hander
Nice video! Could you add a link to the wisby gauntlets and the finger bucklers? Thanks again !

Your arms and legs are evident from other videos, but what do you wear on your torso?
Hi Joe,
I alternate between a coat of plates over a thin gambeson, or a plastic body plackard under my jupon.
Who made your gauntlets, Mark?
Hi Aaron,
I made them. They are made of titanium, which was a giant pain.
