I am posting this notice for Eric Winkler from With Intent Wasters. To Whom It May Concern, It is with much regret that I announce the closing of With Intent Wasters. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to devote the time necessary to run my business. As of 8/1/08 I am no longer taking orde...

Matt,

Eric is planning on bring some wasters with him to sell at the event. Eric is allowing a limited number of pre orders for the International Event. If you get one of these slots, you can pick up your waster at the event and save the shipping fees.

Jeremy,

Both a cut and thrust, and a youth size waster are being planned as a future additions. Eric wants to concentrate on a few basic models to get started before branching out into other fun things. We will be sure to keep everyone posted.

My apologies to everyone for oversight of all of the dimentions. That has been rectified on the site, but I will post them here as well. All three models are the exact same, except the pear pommels add two ounces more to the weight. Overall Lenth - 47 inches Blade Length - 36 1/4 inches Blade Width ...

I am happy to announce that With Intent Wasters has started production of wasters. Eric has been working hard to make sure that he can meet production need in a reasonable time frame, and he is ready now. The website is up and running and there are currently three ways to order. E-mail, an order for...

I wanted to give a big thank you to the ARMA Twin Cities group for putting on a well run event. I know that all of us from ARMA Appleton had an awesome time. The tour of Arms and Armor was a great way to start the weekend, and being able to handle some of the pieces from the Oakeshott Institute was ...

ARMA Appleton had the pleasure to do two demonstrations for regional Cub Scout Packs in recent months and I would like to share our experience. The first was in Stoughton, WI, which is about two hours away, and the other was local here in Appleton, WI. For both we were scheduled to have ninety minut...

Shane, Thanks for reminding me of that. We are trying to make a first rate site, but in getting it started some things always get missed. I appreciate all comments on the site and look forward to hearing ideas from our fellow scholars and updating the site often with all the happenings at ARMA Apple...

I used to wear cross training shoes, but then I tried wrestling shoes and I will never go back. I could not believe the difference going with a thin sole shoe made. Just my opinion.

I would like to take a moment to second Aaron's comments about the Maestro line testing day. The folks at Albion did everything possible to make us feel welcome and answer all of our questions, including a tour of the production process. I would also like to say how encouraging it was to have a swor...

Jeffrey, A quick point about using hockey goalie masks. I have used one for over a year and a half now and can say that they do offer quite a bit of protection. However the wire cage does have openings large enough for a waster point to get through. I know this because I was on the receiving end of ...

Here are a few links that you may find interesting. http://swordforum.com/fall99/sword-of-william-wallace.html http://www.tartans.com/articles/wallacewilliamsword.html Thet both have pictures of the sword. It is 5 feet six inches long overall with a 52 inch blade and weighs 6 pounds. Hope this helps...

A drill that we do that helps people to grasp the concept of fühlen is to have to members face each other with their eyes closed and have a third member place their wasters in each others strong or weak or some combination. Then let them feel where they are without seeing the wasters. Sort of a blin...

I have been training now for year and a half and I seem to keep having these nagging shoulder tweaks. According to the doctor, I keep straining one of the muscles of the rotator cuff. This takes a few weeks to heal properly and really slows down my training. I was wondering if anyone else has had th...

I am preparing to set up a website for ARMA Appleton study group and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a host? Who hosts the other ARMA study group sites? Thanks.
