Thanks everyone. I'm always looking for better ideas. I made a cylinder/basket from tie wire and scales. I understood foil is best for air hardening steels and expensive for non critical jobs (armour and crafts.) I also was told that you need to remove items from the pouches for quench. Dunno. I was...

Hi folks, need a hand. I have a sallet that I need to clean quick. I've left in it a bag and mold has attacked the liner and chin. It has custom cast rivets so I don't have enough time to get new ones and replace the liner. What are your tricks for removing, killing and de-stinking leathers? My stan...

My last delivery from Ukraine took 9.5 weeks and there was nothing I could do about it. Often, Eastern European tracking numbers don't continue after landing at US customs. After much frustration I just plan on a month added in the transit time. Good luck and I feel you pain.

What about rotating and twisting the eyes to make a more aggressive expression? Cleaner welds on the bars. I like the chin.

Too late now, but I would have continued the leather and added plates to protect the base of you spine also. I got the impression that some of the COPS out there ignored coverage of the top and bottom back. I may be wrong though. Good luck over there.

Is there such as thing as a simple Klappvisor bascinet (no snout, hound) with an onion top? If so are there pictures from historical sources? Could this exist in the 14th cent?
