Where to get leather and nails to cover edges of shields?
Our club is reenacting 11-12 centuries, and I'm looking to protect a bit the edges of our shelds like how I saw many times on photos from events like Hastings. But I'm not sure where to find suitable leather ribbons and small nails with big heads that don't look too modern. Of leather I saw some ribbons on sale but they seem to be too thick, like for a belt, and I'm not sure in those.
Maybe you can recommend something? We're in EU if it matters.

Where from can I get long handle for training Danish axe?
I only found a 56 cm handle but it's too short as in our club we wanted to try anglo-saxon great axes from 1000s, like in the battle of Hastings.
Are they on sale at all?

The 4 Types of Combatants
Hey everybody!
So I've put quite a lot of hours into this article. I've pulled from my 12 years experience of doing HEMA and many years practicing, teaching, and studying Joachim Meyer's works. I'm always happy to get feedback for these things and to hear any thoughts or comments you might have. Please note the link attached is a short summary of the article. You can download the full 21 page article pdf from this link :) 4 Types of Combatants

I am confused about the Leckuchnner Master Cuts
I get Zornhau and Enthrusthau. But I'm confused as to Winker, Zwinger and Wecker. Also, whats up with Geferhau?
I come from a military saber backround, but also went to a local arma club for two years. I studied the manuals of Capitan G. Sinclair, Charles Rowroth, MacArthur and Alison Winn. So I'm used to the six cuts and six directions of the cuts, so these new methods of cutting are a bit weird. My experience in Arma did teach me a few of the basics in longsword, but since I left arma and I formed my own HEMA club, I've gotten a bit rusty.

Are there any drills to improve my timing and distance?
So, I'm a shorter guy and often find myself unable to hit my oponent due to them moving retreating. How do I deal with this? Are there any drills to help my timing and distance? I already practice alot of footwork, but I always end up just out of range when I attack my oponent.
