accdntprone@yahoo.com No website, perhaps someday. The above helm was a messed up top (I was trying to rush and paid for it) sold as a "second". Cosmetic flaws, but still solid and safe for sca. SO I sold it at a reduced price just to get the money I had in steel and rivets back. Well, a little more...

accdntprone

Oh GOD no, about need a hazmat suit for the things already, and thats when they are fresh. I expect they would be even worse after spending a few days in the mail...... No no, just the box thanks lol

Aww, who wouldn't want there helm to arrive in a pampers box?

. It was Kaylee (my one year olds) contribution to the transaction lol. Glad you like the helm, thanks for the positive review.

accdntprone

I like them. I to would be interested in a set, though I couldn't afford one.

Cool. Money Order Arrived Today btw

Made for me, at 23.5" with pretty hefty padding (people seem to like to hit me for some reason....)

I have a couple helms for sale. One is a spangen that I made for myself and then decided I wanted something else. The other is a greathelm. The spangen is 14 ga mild steel, blacked, with a 16ga galv. steel butted avintail. The greathelm is kinda an oddball. I only had a bit of 14 ga at the time, so ...

Didn't have time to closely read all the above, but what I did for my shield is screen print my graphic onto heavy black cloth and then glue it to the shield. As long as your device isn't absurdly complex I could print severl copys of it on chunks of cloth for later shields.

When I do two color hats like this I first blacken the whole thing, then use wire wheel to remove the black from the bands. Takes a solid hour. Im not saying it can't be scratched in sca fighting, just that IMO its way tougher than paint.

accdntprone

I use 75/25 for steel (mild and stainless) 100% for tig (usually alum)

accdntprone

still wish I could afford it. Free bump....

accdntprone

Have used both. Given a choice, mig (as in shielding gas) seems to give me much less spatter, thus requiring less work to pretty up. The flip side is a 110 volt flux core buzz box is MUCH cheaper.

Pitbull, pm me the particulars? Johan, as Im in South Carolina its unlikely I will be making it out to your shop any time soon. I have a shit ton of patterns that I have come across over the last 20 years, be happy to work out some kind of exchange. Other than that, your pattern is just that, yours....

accdntprone

any chance you could be talked into sharing your pattern?

accdntprone

Dude, the hat is very nice. Unfortunatly I can not afford to make a realistic offer. If you reach a point where you would consider some barter hit me up.

accdntprone

Im not sure when I'm going back, it will take me a while to go through this. But I WILL be going back. Donuts hell, Im taking em tequila

accdntprone

Just an fyi, I posted in case your deal with otto fell through or if somone else needed a helm, it was / is not my intent to compete with Otto for business. Otto is a good guy who does good work, and likely needs the money worse than I do at the moment.

accdntprone

Hell, I have Paid that much just for the brass in the past lol

accdntprone

Visited a scrap yard in Kings Mountain today. Got a 4' x 6' chunk of 14 ga mild, a 4' x 4' chunk of 16 ga mild, a 8" x 30" chunk of 18 ga brass, and 20' of quarter inch round stock for a total of $44.80

accdntprone

Otto does nice stuff. My spangenhelms are still mostly based on a pattern he gave me years ago. Best of luck.If for some reason your deal with otto falls through, I have a, well, call it a factory second spangenhelm I would be happy to let go for about $100 its not bad, I was just rushing it through...

accdntprone

DOin better. Chemo is done and over with, starting to not feel like hammered shit all the time.

accdntprone

I owe one of yall a basinet from before I took sick. Care to remind me which one of ya it was?

accdntprone

I can do a spangen for $175 (yep, Im working again:)

accdntprone

In what context? My favorite helm to make? To fight in? Or just the one I think looks coolest?

accdntprone

His gauntlets rock btw...

accdntprone

Much like one I made for wulf years ago, but that helm was 10ga and whomever did this one did a much prettier job on the bargrill. Been meaning to make another one, but things keep coming up. Nice hat btw.

accdntprone

mediumish should be good, Im using 3/4" buckles. Straps need to be, oh lets say 18" long to be safe. Four per cop and I have 3 cops to get ready. ANyone have basket hilts or ready made swords?

accdntprone

I need some strap leather (enough to strap a couple coat of plates I have plenty of light leather but nothing thick enough for strapping) and either a pair of basket hilts and some rattan or a couple of ready made swords.

accdntprone

Pics or it didnt happen

accdntprone

That would be awesome. The (pretty much only) perk to my illness is I have shit tons of free time. Where ya at?

accdntprone

Love too, but if by "here" you mean england I don't think I'm up to the drive. For on thing there is that big wet spot in the way...

accdntprone

Speaking of accidents, when are you going to make me one of them finger smashers? They look like fun.
