The play is set in the first half of the 17th century, so if at all possible, if any one has any reference for what a document like this wou...

Figured I would merge the stock so I did not bump too many sales on the threads. I have a set of Greek bracers for sale. Made from mild steel and finished with a textured black, same stuff I use on my tourney kit, it holds up surprisingly well, constant metal on metal scraping with scratch it like a...

In addition, notice that they are shaped exactly like shoulder muscles. Those should fit an arm like a glove.... nice job! Thanks Glaukos, Do you have an effigy that those were copied off of? They look very interesting. I like the curve at the bottom. Seems like it would tend to interfere less with...

I am interested in these, but have been outfiting S/S exclusively due to climate in Alaska. If I where to fit these into my current kit I think it would look absurd, but looking at building a kit more Border Riever styled. What type of elbow cop would work best with these? Would these need much upk...

Lord O'Quinn

Thanks for the kind words. I can reduce these a bit more if it helps ;) Dear Lord O'Quinn, I followed the link to your flikr picts. I am really impressed with some of the very different colours and textures on some of the armour pieces pictured. How do you do this colouring and/or texturing to mild ...

Lord O'Quinn

Nice work! Is the entire piece heat blackened, then the highlights buffed? Balthazar RJB Ironworks Thanks! That's pretty much it, I blacken then sand the high areas increasing the grit. I hand sand the worked areas differently to give a bit of aged contrast working in one direction only in most cas...

Hello, We have 2 sets of "seconds", the black "pair" was just thrown together as a pair as they were 2 pieces in the same size, but with different quilting from the prototype days. They are prob an extra small or small and measure 9"x5". Please note the number of quilts are different and style. $15 ...

My guess is that Older guys like me are allot like fish scales, and fish stories. Ill concider these, as I am thinking of stearing away from Greek, because I cant get anybody to make the helm I want. IE Greek Chalcidian stainless open face. Sounds out of my reach, I am not set up to weld SS, have y...

Thanks for the kind comments, I thought for a second those were hardened leather. How much do those weigh? Im getting older now, and Im trying to lighten up in several ways. That's the fake leather finish ;) Cant work leather to save my life. These weigh approx 1 pound each. It was exactly 1 pound a...

Thanks for all the replies, but I need something to pit, rather deeply. Most of these sources are for rusting or russetting. Wich I guess over time it will pit..... hmmmm If you look at the top link William of Stonebridge gave you, we talk about pitting in that post. The short of it is custom hamme...

Congrats Matt!!

Your integrity has always shown in the past and still to the present.

I hope you find the days ahead good ones. Make some stuff you never had time to make before (new designs etc) that's what I like to do when I clear back logs, fun stuff.
