Thomas did you buy the rivets or use a nail header to make them?

Wyrm I've been interested in this also as indicated in the thread by Ultragotha (http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=109975) there are a couple of good links to previous or in progress builds. As I said in the thread I'm in research mode atm, and I am finding (as is usually the ca...

Sir Digby I've been visiting the frontierfolk site for info, just not joined the forums yet. Thanks for the Yahoo link

Bob Thanks for the tips on what you did. I'm looking at a basic shirt pattern, not really with fringe more or a frayed hem look.

I am attending a reenactment event in feb and need some help with handsewing methods. I need to make a colonial era longhunter shirt in the time frame of 1750 - 1790. What would be the appropriate type of hand stitching for the period. I'm not much with a needle and thread but I thought I might give...

Cedri

Got any more specs on these pieces? height, diameter etc. better shots of the decorative trim and material its made from. I'm assuming at this point that this is turned. Would be and interesting project.

Ok I found a really cool video (in swedish) on construction of a reproduction of the small Gokstad faering and a couple of other interesting links. http://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/index.php?id=1552&L=1 http://home.online.no/~joeolavl/viking/norse_faering.htm http://www.woodenboatrescue.org/Gokstad%...

Ultragotha this is going to be a research project first, as I haven't a clue to what I'm doing :D I've found I need to learn how to loft a set of plans, what ever the hell that is LOL ! I've looked at a software program called HULLS for profiles, which I will check out later next week when all the d...

Nice boat :D Is this a true faering? I've got to learn more about these!! I've had a hankerin to build a boat for sometime and this looks like it could be do-able. I need to do some more research and find contacts for faerings. I believe I visited an internet site in Sweden that showed some construc...

Please

Cedri

Kenji thanks for the offer but I'd like to find some basic info on this first so I at least can talk about with somekind insight to the process

I'll PM ya then, thanks

Cedri

This is the type of wire contruction braiding I'm trying to learn about. I was more than a little vague in my first post, sorry was getting frustrated with my google fu

Off topic for armor but I need some help here. I've been asked to make a torq but I can't find anything useful on construction techniques. Anyone have some good links? Will probably use copper wire as a test run because of ease of aquisition, then do the final in silver.

Thanks

Cedri

I'm interested in the hammers, but what are you asking for them? $35.00 for all of them? Or is that for the bits and pieces of armor?

Cedri

Very Cool as always. I'm with everyone else, what next!!!!!! by the way we are all showing up at your shop friday LOL

Cedri

talaananthes even if the organic covering has decayed and long gone I was interested to see if any other indications for covering / embellishment existed, for example fibre impressions left where at contact with the wood. These may have left some indication, and there may have been scraps of leather...

I didn't want to hijack Raedwald's exceedingly nice kit thread to pose this question. Let me state this question has no issues with Paul's shield, the repro is very nicely done within the context of the artifacts available. So does anyone besides me have issues with how incomplete the shield looks? ...

Cedri

I also think there was a good photo tutorial over on Don Fogg blade site if i recall by jim cooper (sharp by coop) which uses an inexpensive tent setup made of pvc pipe / cloth. I'll look later and see if i can hunt it down.

Cedri

It also can corrode

hard to get out of the joints, not so sure about that idea. overcast day works well.

Cedri

You guys catch where the eagle snatched the wolf, talons right around the top jaw, makin bites difficult. Then again the wolf didn't stand a chance when he was winning, mongols double teamed him with another eagle.

Cedri

Alejandro what is the finish?

Cedri

Donasian Seems like you have a project to me, you need to write the pages so Karen can link them

Cedri

Hal I think you're really confused, that's not an industrial gas burner, that's the lost thrusters off of a 747 that landed in your yard

Cedri

Thanks Jamie good article, i've got the basics of the burner, now on to the blower!!

Cedri

thomas talk to me about this ribbon forge. What is it and where is a good place to research it?

Cedri

mkultra its the bottom of a full size oxygen cylinder, in times past they used to give them away for scrap when they failed the pressure tests. I think you may be able to still check in with gas dealers (as in Oxy, ace) and see if they have any

Cedri

Hey Hal where did the chainsaw thingy come from? Home center?

Cedri

Update here on the pauldrons. I thought this might be a good piece to practice a rolled edge for the first time. The back side has a tighter and less consistant profile than the front, shows what a 100% increase in practice from front to rear can do :-) Just where was Mac, Eric, the Jiri boys and Pa...

Cedri

I've got a gorget and pauldron in the for sale forum. As I've had no response at all, I'd like a little feed back on the pieces. Look like they are headed in the right direction? not worth a crap?
