Re: Looking for new project
I can't handsew for shit! But I guess I'd get better with practice.
I have decided I'm going to learn how to make posaments, tablet weave by either buying a cheap loom or putting together a temporary loom with c clamps, and do pyrography.

Looking for new project
I'm looking for a new art to try. Something that can be done on the couch with the TV in the background, and done at events. I've tried and do not like: chain maille, cross stitch, njallbinding. I suck at embroidery, but it's the only thing I can come up with. If I can't find anything else I may try...

The Ironmonger "heart" basket hilt seems fairly low profile.
Does anyone have experience with it in person?

Re: Basket Hilts on mass weapons
I've seen basket hilts on headed maces. I don't think that would cause an issue. It's the bar mace as a whole that is the real issue.

Re: Gluing steel
The thought was to make my own basket hilt. Shape all the bars and use the glue to hold them in place until I take the whole thing to a friends house for welding.
I can still do it all, I'll just do it without the glue shortcut.

Is there a way, other than trial and error, to figure out the best size and shape of this style armor? I'm making it out of plastic, and will cover it with a tunic.

Can I glue bars into the position I wanted them welded with a super glue to then have someone else weld it for me?
Will the superglue affect the welding/weldability?

Rattan basket hilt size
Almost all of the basket hilts I see look very large to me. Very oversized. I just assumed that it was the size they had to be. But I just watched a video of Duke Brannos, and his basket hilt is very low profile. Why are most basket hilts so large? Is there an advantage I'm not thinking about? Are t...

There are lots of knights (and non knights) on YouTube showing many tips, tricks, and drills.
Suggest one or two for the brand new fighter.
I hope and plan to pick up stick and swing at something other than a pell for the first time later this year.

hmmm, the outline is made from large rivets or ornaments in silver, spaced by groups of 2x4 and 2x10 sets of smaller ones. The smaller circles are pearls I believe.

Re: What is the technical term for a helmet like this?
I do not like the look anymore. Thanks for such a fiery discussion friends! This makes me sad. Fantasy pieces often look better than period pieces. Stating something is a fantasy helmet should not be a knock on the piece any more than saying something is a Vendel helmet. It's a good looking helmet!...
