Sorry guys. It's been A little while to get back.
I thought the thred dropped off.

The helm in the back would go for $450.00 plus shipping.

ROC

I have been waiting as well. It was worth it. Really nice work Hal.

Dude, you should really spend some time learning about how this site works. Rolling Eyes Frickin' noob. Also, have you tried chanting MagicMissile five times in a row in a loud voice? That might work. Not nice guys. I wonder if you would talk like this to A guy just before you enter A list with him....

At this time all i have for brass is A couple of door kick plats.
So a cross would have to be done in 3 parts. I dont really want to go that rout but could.
I guess Iwould add on 25 dollars for the added time to do that.

Thank you
ROC

ROC

ROC

WOW man!
Great work your stuff is getting better and better. Nice lines on the helm and I like the creasing on the legs.

ROC

Very cool.

The helm pictured was done for my man at arms by me about 5 years ago. the helms are made from 14 ga. mild steel it takes me about 3 days to do two at a time. I do not take money down any more. I will make one to someones measurements. If there is any interest. I can't get into my shop every day so ...

ROC

So I'm sitting in my shop just finished two helms that are going to be off to there new homes. I was wondering if there is any intrest for a helm like this. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/rocthebold/PHOTO220.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/rocthebold/PHOTO222.jpg If so drop me a l...

"If you are making a right and a left of any one thing, you will make two sets because you *will* cut two lefts, or two rights, before cutting one of each. "

how how true it is
Hahaha

ROC

O-boy.
Hey how much do you use that wheel machine. I have always wanted one.
but never thought I would use it much for armour.

ROC

Well KinnieKat . I think you make the whole shop.

ROC

Holy crap!!
I'm going to have to try that. No wonder I always get A burn or two on my fingers when I'm working the ends of bar stock for sca grills.

ROC

Hahaha I remember, that was A while back. It looks like your doing some fins work.

Like Hal says
Happy metal pounding
ROC

ROC

Hal the top is 14 ga. stainless and the res is 16 Ga.
My fore arm and wrist wish they were from Cet. Hahahahaa.
I'm thinking I'm done playing with stainless.

ROC

ROC

Well thanks guys. Your comments make me want to have another go at it.
I think the owner did put a leather drape on it.

Thanks
ROC

ROC

Yup Indeed it should. She ate up 5 drill bits and A Whitney punch. All is well now. All we need to do is get the nasel on her. Ant more thought on that ??

ROC

Your A funny man
hAHHAHAAAA

ROC

The wields are good and strong. I had to use flux core wire. So there not as pretty as I would like. I will put up more pics when it is done.

Thanks it's good to be pounding metal again.

ROC

From the Side I thought it looked kind of strange.

And the back plate. Bad idea I had there.

ROC

This was my try at it about 6 years ago. I did it using dishing and raising. I was never really very happy with that helmet. But there it is. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v428/rocthebold/?action=view¤t=PHOTO99.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/...
