I use a Technique called anchoring. In short I have programmed my self to change focus when I put my glove on. It is the switch that takes me from Happy go lucky fool to "cold killer"

bkillian

No.
There is a lot of technique. In fact it is mostly technique.

The Surly Anvil's Raising and Articulation, One of the most daunting tasks a beginning armorer faces is learning how to raise a shape over a stake. This video is the next best thing to being in the room along side a top armorer. With clear views of the work piece and humorous explanations of techniq...

Yes the helm fits my 24 inch Mellon.

Ok Like most of the BoTN guys we are selling off our estates like mad men to finance our goals. I have some items that I love but need to sell to help cover my costs. I can only wear so much armor at once. First off we have A Eastern style helm (fits 24 inch noggin) with Chain and A set of Ebonwoulf...

bkillian

pleas take that as a dibs
if the chain is a good trade

bkillian

I also have an Ice Falcon riveted shirt that we can talk about

bkillian

What gauge is the helm

bkillian

Just realized That may have sounded just a touch dickish. Raising really is the best way. It is the only way you can get the proper shapes without male and female dies and a flywheel press. I wish I had learned how to do it when I first started out making Armour.

bkillian

In truth get a raising hammer and a raising stake.

bkillian

Each person on the path is judged according to their own merits in relation to the order. The length of time one is a squire is not a factor. Be knightly. Everything else will fall into place in it's own season.

bkillian

Or if you are further south hit me up

bkillian

Some one buy them! They are nice. I like my pair a lot.

bkillian

Any takers?

bkillian

I would look at normalizing the steel as part of the heat treat process. I know you are working with 410 but I don't know what the temp and soak time for it should be. Your heat treat guy should know.

bkillian

bkillian

It is good stuff. I have had mine for a while now and no dents yet.

bkillian

Nissan, Andy Wards for now Until my spring ones from the Surly Anvil are finished.

bkillian

Yes because its all spring steel under the leather

bkillian

bkillian

Way late and all because I don't post online tons anymore but I have got to say my banner is fantastic and I was very pleased with it. I can not recommend Isabella's work enough. They really look that good in person as well.

bkillian

I think it is part of a dirt removal conveyor of some sort.

bkillian

Guys, the Idea of challenging some nimwit to an sca fight over their mouth is both stupid and sullies what we do on the field. We fight for the love of the game not for revenge. If you really think his mouth is writing checks take his ass to a parking lot and cash them. The field is not the place fo...

bkillian

Does any one know if he is still making them and if he is what is his contact info?

bkillian

Yes .... very much so

bkillian

Nope that is bloodguard

bkillian

very attractive!

bkillian

The blue foam is temporary. I needed to get the helm padded for a tournament. Before it sees the light of day again it will have a proper padded liner of stuffed linen
