Hard drive went RALPH. Email went bye bye. Need to contact the person (I forgot his name) now running rough from the hammer. Also need to talk at Ron Simmons about some computer parts I owe him. So like, give with the email addresses already! http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif

I hate to say it, but get over it. AND dont worry about it. Being under 18 is all to cureable. Pretty soon you will be over 21 like most of te rest of us, with the freedoms and problems that come with it.

Ya know, despite the extra cost the western union thing aint a bad idea. Not sure if the kid is 18, but I could wire the money to his mom or dad...

accdntprone

I dont know what documentation I still have, its been roughly a year. Still, I would be willing to refund the guy one more time just to make the situation go away, but before I send any more of my money anywhere, I need some means of being sure it gets there and that I can PROVE it got there.

accdntprone

First, a copy of an email I just got from him, changed in only that I removed his mundane name from the text >I dont know if you remember me but I >ordered a helmet a year ago... and all i >would like is my money back please. My name >is (real name was here)(aka master nim) if >you could email me ba...

Welp, I had a worm virus, and as a lucky bonus riff, so might you. If I sent you emails or files or the like lately. hit the following link for info on detecting / removing virus in question

cool. Im hammering my hairy ass off, trying to get this batch done.

AS for room in the suger loaf, the new version does alright. The creased faceplate makes a big dif. Btw, if anyone is interested in doing the barter thing, Im looking for an electric guitar. I would love one of the little headless steinberger guitars, or one of there many clones, but Im not that pic...

Fixed the link. But yes, removeable bargrill.

Lesse if I can hit all of these. The basic bucket is like the one pictured on my page, except that I now weld the top instead of connecting the halfs with a strip and rivets. Closed face is easy, let me know what you would like in the way of breaths. All the helms ate 12 ga top, 14 ga front and back...

Pic of one of my sugarloaf helms http://www.geocities.com/accdntprone/suger.html I currently have a small basinet, fits tops 23 1/2" head assuming enough padding for sca heavy. The two mentioned in the add should fit as big as a 25" melon. Prices will be as follows... pasic bucket $40 plus shipping....

Hey Vitus, I would like you to crash test some new shields for me, you game?

accdntprone

Hey ron, I lost all your contact information. I would really like to buy some more stuff from you if your still in the biz....

accdntprone

I will soon be placing up for sale
2 basic sca starter helms
1 suger loaf
couple mid to largish basinets
several shield blanks.
Please email or post if interested. Thanks

accdntprone

That accounts for 2 of the sugerloaf helms

Wonder about the others though....

accdntprone

got a butt ugly 14 ga bar grilled greathelm. Legal, but ugly as hell. (it was my first armor project, not to mention my first metal working project period) How does $40 us sound?

accdntprone

I sold a fair bit of sca armor via this site, though not recently. Several spangenhelms, a vendal, a couple suger loaf helms, a couple basinets, some arms, couple coat a plates, and a shit load of shields, shield baskets and basket hilts. Now that a year and more has gone buy (as much as 3 years in ...

I have purchased stuff from otto (Karen's husband) many times with no problems. Drop him an email if you havent already.

accdntprone

Yeah, I end up using 3 to edge a heater, one for top, one for each side. Then again, I only use it if somone asks for it. I still mostly use (gag) heater hose.

accdntprone

I can make it if somone else is not already doing so. Cost about $55 plus shipping. (more if I do the coat of arms, how much more depends on how complex a picture we are talking about) anyway, if I do it payment will be due on completion. White mountin, for rawhide, cheap rawhide chewtoys work well,...

Gotta set of 18 ga stainless gaunts that I would like to barter for a breast plate. Fits a mid sized hand. Cant tell you what the alloy is, got the metal outta a scrap heap. Buts its pretty hard $hit, and took a fair finish. Breast plate can be mild steel or stainless, I dont really care. One of ron...

I took a very large oak stump, used my skil saw to cut notches in it in a * pattern, then used a hammer and screwdriver to pop the little wedge shaped pieces of wood out, leaving me with a round depression about 6" accross by about 3 1/2" deep in the middle.

accdntprone

I have been later then expected with most of the armor / shield blanks / basket hilts that I have made. Course after the first few I made a point of NOT commiting to a due date. Which makes it rather hard to be truely late, but still. One of the reasons I still consider the orders to have been "late...

Strapping perhaps?

I am glad to see armourarchive.com returned from the dark side. However or whoever managed it.

accdntprone

topic pretty much sums it up.

accdntprone

Sending you $70 would doubtless be cheaper for me then buying you a helm. There remains only one problem then. How to send it to you? Having had two packages fall into the abyss, I hesitate to use us mail to send you a money order. Western Union perhaps?

accdntprone

To make a long story short, I have an order, have attempted to fill it a couple times now, still no helm recived on the other end, nor any helms returned to me, the post office tells me to go pound salt up my ass, and since Im living in an rv at the moment I have no way of making another helm. SO, I...

I have not bought to much armor, its hard to rate people / armories I have not done buisness with. But of those I HAVE delt with, Otto and Ron Simmons rank highest. (note, Im not really counting ppeople I bought used stuff from, just people who have MADE stuff for me.)

accdntprone

I fught in splinted arms at the moment. On mine the splints are tapered to match the vam, about 3/4" at the wrist end, 1 1/2" at the elbow end. (three splints) and are 18ga. Works fine. Light. Now and again I have to deal with a dent but not often. Your arm tends to move when it gets hit, so the arm...

I been meaning to get a pic of this one online, keep not getting around to going out and buying film. Guess I should get off my lazy a$$ and do it huh?

New guy in my local fighter practice is looking for a pair of gauntlets. Would rather buy a pair used then wait for them to be made. Dude has like, way huge hands though. Gundo, them alum. gaunts I bought from you one would fit him if I still had the things. You have any more like them?

accdntprone

how big are the gaunts? New fella in my local fighter practice needs gaunts and Im not really cool with making them yet. But he got big honkin meathooks
