Erin

Hi, I bought a while back on eBay, a maile shirt. Today was my first attempt at getting it on. No go. Shoulders too big. I'm not forcing it on then calling someone to cut me out of it.. Well the sleeves, are long sleaves. I'm hopeing someone can cut them in half and use the material to piece in and ...

I have a Valsgarde kit from polar bear forge I bought last year, and formed. It is currently ready for an armourers touch, held together by macine screws. It needs to be riveted and welded at every joint, (rivets alone are not legal in my SCA kingdom, An Tir) and the nape of the helmet is slats, so ...

i sand blasted an old gauntlet and was advised that i caused pitting to the steel, but i supose it coulda been the rust i removed. maybe a heavy grit might muck it up more?

Erin

yes please!
i know your padding works! i saw "someone" get puched with them

Erin

armour and castings ftw.

Erin

gota a website?

Erin

right, ive got some nice deerskin gloves that fit, and now i intend to sew them in, how though is the padding inserted and what that padding will be is my current issue.

i think im confused, and its gotta be 1/4 closed cell foam or equivilent. so wool? or felt? and how much is enough?

Erin

oic

so this would be sewn in along with the glove? several layers? or a thick felt?

Erin

i just got a visored sallet// bevor from bokalo. his website does no justice to his skills. and the guy is a joy to work with. resonable prices, great service.

Erin

hi ive got a pair of gauntlets that i am having a hellova time strapping and padding. they are fingered gothic style gauntlets... sry no pics on my lappy right now. they came with welding gloves sewn in, but they were bigger than the plates and therefor made grabing things impossible. so i cut them ...

thank you! i just wish i had talked tou you befor i comissioned the breast plate

Erin

id almost consider engraving it into the brass on my breast plate but, i wouldnt want to receive a cup shot over it...

Erin

it is indeed a south tower. i supose some day i will replace it, but for the time being (and the money i spent on it) it will have to do.

blueing it and adding brass trim well more than doubled the price for ome reason.

but id argue my south tower is a lot better than yours was, no? sorry!

Erin

EDITED: to show the armour better with a new pic. i apoligize the other one was all i had at the time
