Re: Which rivets do you use for armouring?
Hi Kristoffer, your custom rivets are very attractive - Much closer to medieval rivets than the ones I use!

Re: Mac's blog
I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to make regular globose BP (or maybe a clay and fiberglass model or maybe a wooden form like Mac uses for helmets) and then take patterns off the form and beat them until they matched with the form.
