For those of us that grew up in Dinuba, its the only part of California that matters, no one in their right mind would want to live South of there

but I am horrendously afraid to see the price tag. Lets see...new car or Adobe photoshop...hmmmmm

Your not too far off, fortunately I have em at work.

justuspr

Cat,

I use both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to do those kinds of things.

If you have any questions or would like me to help with anything feel free to email me. I'll be out of touch tomorrow, but I always like playing with these kinds of things.

Catherine, how about something similar to this... ignore the colors, I just pulled chunks out of several different pieces. But the CQ interlace like Griffin's Annulets.

Thats what you do when you drive that 20000 dollar car for 200 a month. People that don't want to take a loan for a car a. buy a cheaper car or b. save more money. Those are you options for armour too, buy something you can afford or save till you can afford what you want. Its pretty simple really.

the key is to put the glue on , then the ratchets, before the glue dries, if you let the glue dry it will make it less likely to bend. Once the glue dries, it helps the shield hold its shape.

Armour and Castings, is Beathan here on AA, several people have really good things to say about them. (I personaly haven't done any business with them, but from the reviews I've seen, I wouldn't worry too much about it.)

I found the peanut oil proccess in Tim's book as well.

He has recipes for Green, Blue, Brown, Red and Grey patinas on copper.

justuspr

rub it with peanut oil and heat it with a torch till the oil starts smoking, it makes a nice brown patina. Get it hotter and it goes almost black.

justuspr

Looks like a yound teenager, about 5' tall. It says the width of the armor is 45 inches, and the length is 40, so the kid can't be very big for it to swamp him like that.

On another note, the copper work on that stuff is pretty freaking cool

Here is a thought, add a separate section, either as a new forum or a page like the links page, for the purpose of armory reviews. I think it would be best to have a Forum, similar to armour of the month, where JT or a Moderater would start a thread with the name of the armoury as the subject. It wo...

I made a belt once using Half persian 3-1 as edging on both sides of a E 4-1 middle, it had a nice look to it, almost like a rolled edge on plate. One interesting side effect though it seemed to suck in the last row a bit kind of like a contraction, so I'm not sure if you would like that on a shirt....

Ruthardis, check out http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=40308 Artorius has a good primer on Salt water etching, it works with most metals Verminaard, you had the polarity reversed, you would need to switch the positive and negative terminals to etch, you basicly electroplated you...

justuspr

that 8500 dollar one weighs 200kg. 200 kilogram = 440.9245244 pounds

The dude that wore that must have been one tough mofo.

justuspr

Kerry, fantastic work.

I for one would love to hear ( or better yet see) your process for making your tools.

Thanks

justuspr

Well I tried it on Sterling last night, and while it took longer than Brass did I still got an etch.

justuspr

Does anyone know if this process works on Sterling Silver?

I did my first test piece on Brass last night, works like a charm, I'm going to play with it some more this weekend. Thanks for the pictorial Artorious.

Btw, do you guys do anything special with the water/ sludge after your done?

justuspr

Man I don't have a name for you but if I had helm that sweet I would wear it everywhere. I'm sure I would get some looks walking into my classes with that thing on

Geocitites and their type of hosting services only allow a certain amount of trafic per day. IE 1 meg (its ussually not that low) of transfer per day for a site so if we all go on there and down load a 10k pic 100 times then we exceed the "Bandwidth Limit" placed on the site by geocities.

justuspr

Great way to get the wife to work for you complain about her complaining

justuspr

Hal,

How do you hold the hair in the tube? Do you use epoxy or something else?

Thanks

I don't know about PC breastplates, but anyone who has ever played baseball with their nalgene or dropped it of a 200 foot cliff or ran over it in their car, knows how tough PC can be. I know they aren't 4mm thick either.

This guys an idiot there is no doubt about that....

but you guys are merciless, remind me never to piss you off

justuspr

Those are all very nice, how much are you asking for them?

Max, wat betekend "katoenmessing" in het engels? I think the word you are looking for instead of soldering is brazing. I might be wrong though.

justuspr

You might try asking this on the chainmailleboard I know a couple of users over there are from the Chicago area, Bluebuddha and Zlosk, they might be able to help you out.

justuspr

I have the same problem, what browser are you using? I'm running FireFox 1.0

Hanzo and Mic,

You guys just need to find another archiver in the US who lives near UPS or FEDEX and have them reroute an order for you. It would be more expensive but the price is still pretty good.

justuspr

Any one know of a supplier for the terminals?
