I'll take a 1050 kit when they are available.

Nuada

Love them that is exactly what I would love to own.

Nuada

I thought I had posted o this but I don't see anything. I would like a 1050 kit in a size med/small.

Nuada

Count me in the 1050 size s/m

Nuada

Having used most of Eric's kits I can say that I would be interested in a 1050 kit. I have the stainless version and I can say they are very heavy to wear for any extended period of time. I have a stainless version of his crusader helm with scale avintail and it must weigh in at 20 lbs. I'd love to ...

Nuada

Hay Eric Maghnus here I just wanted to say I love the look of my helm especially since I added the scale avintail. We need to get together so we can talk about a spring version I want to make. So I can lighten The weight.

Is Cet still taking orders? if so I have a few gents that need to place an order or two.

Is this one of Brand's helms? West Coast Armoury.

That's what I had to eventually do to mine because it would work its way loose and start to rattle.

Nuada

Quick question how do you mount that on a shaft?

Nuada

I'd love to see this pattern in say a 18 or 20 gage 1040 hardened to a RC42.

Nuada

How heavy are they? I know mine are so heavy I don't use them, by the end of a war I can hardly lift my hands. It is a fine kit and great for learning a lot of armoring techniques.

Nuada

I would be interested in something along the lines f 14 gage 410 or 1050 with a central peak.

Nuada

Pictures of said item are customary, or it didn't happen

and yes I am green with envy as I need to get my wife something pretty.

Nuada

Thanks guys that it was I suspected as I usualy put my elbow right on the POB good to know the I can rock it back a little for my shield I just got told that my shield may be a little on the small size as I seem to have wee bit of prob covering my sword side. That extra inch me be just what I need.

Nuada

I've noticed in the diagrams above the point of the intersecting lines which I take as the point of balance is just forward of the elbow is that correct for most everyone. I tend to have my elbow right on that point which my have my hand to far forward.

Nuada

Okay Blain so you like a diaganoly straped shield. When I want to find the center or balance point of a shield I flip it on its back side and balance it on my finger like a basket ball. Then mark the spot, some times shields don't balance right where they should for what ever reason. This seems to w...

Nuada

Diagonal or horizontal which way do you strap your shield? I can't decide and I've tried both ways. Just as a point of reference I'm talking about a heater shield.

Nuada

Sir Stefhan
I was curious can you make a version of your fishtail and put a slight S curve on it?

Nuada

It didn't happen if there are no pictures.

Nuada

Yea I know all about that but who else can make this type helm? My only other thought is Jackie at shamrock but other than that I can't think of anyone else. Since it is kind of Brand's signature style of helm.

Nuada

I know West Coast's sorted past but I would like to know if anyone has bought anything since his come back, again.

Nuada

Okay Murdock
Plug yourself we need your web addressee.

Nuada

Need a little help where o I go from here I'm looking for a 1215 to 1230 Crusader kit. The shield is going to change to a hybrid kite heater style with a slight dome across the top, not so flat or heater shaped. I would love to go with stealth gauntlets but it is not in the budget. I do have a more ...

Nuada

I to have made a mace or two in my past. I tend to like to build them, rather than use them and have given a few away.

This was my last one.

Here is my sons kit.

Nuada

Is there a possibilty of getting these in spring to reduce the weight? I have a great pair of stainless clam shells from armourer Eric that were DIY's and they are bomb proof but half way through a day of fighting I fell like I've been doing curls all day long and can bearly lift my hands to block a...

Nuada

I'm glad you received them quickly and are happy with them. Yes they are spring steel and thus super light and practically indestructible. I keep quite a few of these in-stock. These aren't yours, they were made by Whinter Tree Crafts. :P If you are talking about the ones pictured above yes they ar...

Nuada

Yes they are and Melvin is right. Serves me right to post from my phone.

Nuada

I ordered a pair of Wisby style shoulder cop with creease the day before Labour Day. The order was placed online and was though Pay Pal went off with off without a hitch. The only thing that was A little wonky is I didn't get a confermation, so I emailed Erik on Tuesday he got back to me the same da...

Nuada

One of the concerns I have is that it could flip up when you are in the high guard position and expose the bony part of the top of the shoulder and how much coverage I may be giving up for the upper bicep area.

Nuada

Any use the wisby style shoulder cop for SCA combat? If you do how do like them if you don't like them tell me why.
