You sized it fine

Its just not mounted yet. In that pic it is just kind of set in place.

One done, other two have not yet hit the bench. (the one that's finished is the one done by shopmonkey for the gauntlets)

Looks pretty good w/ avintail.

Patternweld,
Could I get back to you on that next week? That should see my starter bucket que caught up and my custom que either caught up or nearly so. I should be in a much better position to make a time estimate then.

Getting it out was fun. You can't see it in the pic, but the long pointy part that went through my foot was attached to an about 6"X10" chunk. It made getting around very difficult, but the removal process was simple. Stand on chunk with right foot, hold breath and lift left foot straight up. Releas...

My current starter bucks. There is a thread on the classifieds page asking for feedback btw.

gen2sm.jpg As a result of some feedback (and trial and error for that matter) I have made a few changes in my starter bucket. One, they are pretty much all getting nasals cause they look awful without them. Two, I have had some complaints about insufficient space between the nose and the inside of ...

Let this be a lesson to all of you. Clean your shop floor.... Or at least wear boots

I ordered stock stuff (a couple of unwelded backpoint tops) and got them in just a few days. Never had problems getting stuff I order from rough from the hammer. Just this time I had a little trouble getting ahold of him to place the order.

That would be me

For me in this instance it was from rushing the helm. I was planning on selling it along with a few others at pennsic. The crease on the nasal is also slightly off kilter. Pretty much just the consequences for rushing my work.

I do not do chainmail myself. It simply requires more patients than I have. Be happy to share my spangen pattern with you however. Might be easier to mail you a poster board pattern than to try and scan it and print it to scale.

accdntprone

Ok, now on a grown up keyboard instead of my phone. David, please pm me your current shipping address. One of my helpers has a helm in your size nearly complete. Ill get you a pic of the hat tomorrow, assuming it is satisfactory we can try and get it shipped Monday.

accdntprone

David, your pm and email recieved. Ill look at my order board tomorrow morning, but as best i remember you are 4th, behind jhol, jcharris, and akred. I do starter buckets two at a time, am currently working on jhol and jcharris. You and akred are next. Sameul and bigfred, custom stuff is a whole srp...

David deKunstenaar
I have sent you a pm here, and an email to the email address in your profile. I had assumed from the tone of your post that you were feeling some urgency as to getting this resolved. The sooner you communicate with me, the sooner I can fix your problem.

accdntprone

Have not heard from you either by pm here or via email (accdntprone@yahoo.com). Please contact me and we will sort things out.

Icefalcon is ultra reliable, a little pricey, but he runs sales all the time which are great. I would submit that Icefalcon is not "pricey". Customers must pay for consistent quality *and* availability. You get both with Icefalcon, any time. I have also mentioned Ice Falcons prices in the past. I w...

Sorry, the helm was made for a guy here on the archive. Kendo is his handle here. And its one of two because he ordered two helms.

accdntprone

Would have finished today but I broke my last 1/8" drill bit. So the rest of the day is going to get used making the hour and a half round trip to town for drill bits and other odds and ends. Will finish riveting and be ready to ship tomorrow. Ill also post a pic of both hats togeather, though they ...

My thumbs don't stay under them. I know other people who have used that style thumb for years without complaint, they just do not work well for me.

Windrose, ice falcon, rough from the hammer, and iron monger all have fairly quick turnaround. Stone keep, and winter tree craft have some items ready to ship others take longer but they will tell you up front what's going on. Accdntprone, and hjmlr both make solid budget helms. Accdntprone will te...

Let me sell one of Aeden's kidneys (I already only have one)

accdntprone

Good to have you back bro.

accdntprone

Yep, if you can afford it riveted is much better (doesn't snag on stuff as bad, doesn't shed rings, ect) and I think the flat rings look cool. I just don't have one cause I'm perpetually broke as shit

accdntprone

Losthelm would be the guy here on the archive

Welcome. I do a basic greathelm for about $150, a prettied up greathelm dor $225. Im a little backed up right now, but my shopmonkey can do a greathelm.

jennsm.jpg timbsm.jpg The one for Tim's noob has a slightly more protruding bargrill to allow for glasses. Plus These both got nasals. Not sure if they are getting avintails but they would look nicer if they did. Burned the fuck outta my hand on the smaller one. Funny fact, wet gloves do not insula...

The buyer intended to add a drape over the back.

accdntprone

Wish I could help, I would love a set of your finger gauntlets. That said, I make a fair basinet but have never made any other kind of face for them, just the removable bar grill. Hope you find what you are looking for though.

accdntprone

Good job. My first helm (also a great helm) ended up looking like someone cut the top of a fire hydrant, added an eye slot and painted it black.....
