Sasuke

Ok, thanks.

Sasuke

I notice that you have some very reasonable prices on some very good books for beginners- European Armour in the Tower of London by Dufty seems to be one of the best for the least books that most people in the community don't seem to know about. Europaische Helme is another. The FB groups would be ...

Sasuke

Still available. Offers encouraged. I want people who will use them to get them.

Sasuke

Very much open to offers and trades on these. I traded armor for some of these and the rest I tried to remember what I paid and stay as close to those numbers as I could. Many of these are hard if not nearly impossible to find anymore. Armi E Armature Lombarde: $300 The Churburg Armoury Prunner: $20...

Sasuke

I admit I am surprised there hasn't been more interest in most of these. The Mantova and Rhodes are now spoken for.

Sasuke

The Wallace with USB is gone. Have an offer of $400 for the Mantova currently.

Sasuke

I will try to get a list of the books tomorrow. Don't have a solid idea on prices. I kind of expected most people to just want to trade :) Looking at auction prices, stuff goes for some crazy amounts. The Wallace Collection with stick has been the most requested so far and I have been offered $700 f...

Sasuke

Sorry to crosspost but I think this is something people not typically looking at the classifieds may be interested in. I have finally resigned myself to the fact that I just don't make armor enough anymore to justify having these books around and I think others will use them more. So, I am selling m...

Sasuke

Wow. It has been a while. I still make stuff but not like I used to.

Sasuke

Wow! That is one of the first pairs I made. Glad to see they are holding up.
Congrats to Ottokar. Yeah, what Hans said. Contact me if you have any issues with them.

Sasuke

Beautiful work as always!

Sasuke

If my memory is correct, you were my very first customer.

I didn't find the pair I was thinking of. I will keep looking though.
Otherwise I can make you a pair and give you a first customer discount

Sasuke

I think I have a pair. I will have to check on size though.

May I share it with family? (Alas, my eldest daughter (and the wif) have already picked out the wedding dress; but you never know... )

Yes, of course you can. Good luck!

Sasuke

She also helped make it. http://members.armourarchive.org/sasuke/Andieprom/Photo%20Apr%2021,%2013%2056%2030.jpg Here is a side shot. Looks odd since the plates aren't being held in position just laying on the floor: http://members.armourarchive.org/sasuke/Andieprom/Photo%20Apr%2030,%207%2047%2004.jp...

Sasuke

My Daughter wanted to do something different for prom so she foolishly asked me to help.

She got a lot of funny looks.

Sasuke

Get them while you can. Both are amazing.

Sasuke

Thanks Halberds. Yes, but not as much as I used to.

Ceawlin, After putting the flutes in you can get a bit of dishing back by either dishing with a soft mallet or over a ball stake with a soft mallet.

Sasuke

Looks great. I did a similar one with three plates but overlapping the other direction:

Sasuke

Yes, his name is Bill, can't remember his last name though. He is still in Blue Earth but no longer armoring. I think witus emeryk works at the same place as him now. Wish he still made stuff, he was very talented.

Sasuke

Modern.

Sasuke

I made some by using a small center punch over the pritchet hole in my anvil. It made the volcano shape and a small hole. I took a file and filed the top off the volcano until it was the correct size. I then flattened the volcano down with a hammer blow and used a rat tail file to clean it up. Was s...

Sasuke

The key to using them is to match the size of the Cleco to the hole size exactly. So, use a 1/8" Cleco with 1/8" holes only. If the Cleco is too small, it may deform the hole and pull through if you are hammering on the pieces being held together.

Sasuke

Did I make these gauntlets or someone else? If I made them, I will fix them for you.

Sasuke

Here are a couple pics: http://members.armourarchive.org/sasuke/Horse/ The first example has sliders on the edge and the other looks like it uses all leather articulations. I have used the leather articulation method many times and been very happy with it. As Anubis said, the rivets at the edges wer...

Sasuke

Where in MN are you? I am in Albert Lea and you are welcome to come to the shop and I can help you with them.
Were the fingers for a set of gauntlets like these?

Sasuke

I made some too.

Sasuke

Ha! I just got mine too! Everything I expected based off of the other books. Amazing pictures. Love the inside shots of many of the items!

Sasuke

I made a breastplate similar to that and it had very good mobility.
http://members.armourarchive.org/sasuke/Musc/

Here is an anime suit with kind of similar legs.

Sasuke

I can get you one quick if you do the strapping.

Sasuke

Those with the multiple lames making up the entire breastplate were also sometimes referred to as anime or anima.
