Excellent recovery/ redo on the paint job.

Johannes The Bald

Really dude! You Gotta be more careful!

Johannes The Bald

Excellent work.

Johannes The Bald

I do feel that much of what you are describing is available here.

www.arador.com/construction/Basic-Armouring.pdf

Perhaps taking this as a base and adding more visuals and links to videos.
Good luck in your pursuits!

The Chicago area is fairly large. If you can give a closer location (suburb or neighborhood) we in the Chicago area can help better.

Johannes The Bald

From the work I have done with plastic shaping using an oven to soften allows for curving and molding smoothly. a heat gun or torch allows for faster curves or bends. the thing to be careful of is the sudden bend that is unwanted.

Good luck

I was looking for a period "day/inside pavillion" I used to see them in the early 90s they are only one man tall tents. Does anyone have a link to them? I think you may be looking for something like this. http://www.livinghistory.co.uk/homepages/oakley/pavilion.html Is this what you were looking for?

Johannes The Bald

Being tall I would suggest 7 foot tall walls.

Besides the ease of entrance and exit it will allow more light in.

downsides more canvas, more reaching and larger sail potential.

Hal.
Great work, thanks for the laugh. things like this are why I never look at a new page on the archive until I am done with my drink.

I hope you sell a bunch at a huge mark up!.

Johannes The Bald

Hows the heat in that thing? Well I used it at Pennsic this year. worked great and most bruises were ...

Johannes The Bald

Thanks for the chuckle.
Having done similar things with my spring steel work I sympathize.
Good luck in making the needed rivet hole.

Johannes The Bald

Very nice, Thanks for showing the piece before and after. I think it shows the skills needed better than just seeing the finished product.

Johannes The Bald

JT,

Thanks!

Talbot still posts.

At this time he is dealing with work (he is a principal) and family (as in good family activities and being a good dad)

OK Kenwrec is probably busy packing for his move. He has a 'small' shield (shoulder to shoulder / chin to crotch) heater that is curved. He told me it is based on a shield from Lithuania. The handle is from a hammer. It is held away from the shield by 2 bars at the top and bottom of the handle that ...

Johannes The Bald

Sorry too small.

Very nice though.

Johannes The Bald

Woodworking, armoring and sewing.

not an armor in but fun pounding metal.

more news as the event gets closer.

Looking for new/used clamshell gaunts with steel hands with leather cuffs for SCA heavy for a medium to large hands. Try Sir Andy Ward. $120 brand new. Very tough gaunts. I am sure he wouldn't mind removing the cuff. Just google his name and you should get his site. http://wardmetal.com/ Johannes M...
