The Armour Archive

Grrr. Wish I could afford them

accdntprone

Pure self interest. If new fighters quit the game because of bad experiences trying to buy armor then I will never get to hit them

accdntprone

someone may have covered this above, if so sorry for the repeat. Planishing smooths out a surface by moving material, as opposed to REmoving materiel. Thus the more (or better) your planishing the less metal you have to remove (by sanding or whatever) to get a fine finish. I personally am not all th...

My basinets Usually look like this saritorsm.jpg Welded instead of riveted. Tell you what, if you order a set of basinet haves from rough from the hammer (his turnaround is USUALLY days, Ill weld it togeather and throw a hinged bar grill on it for cost. Losthelm here on the archive should be able to...

accdntprone

Beautiful as always bro.

accdntprone

What type of helm were you purchasing from him? Assuming its something I can make, and assuming he has not made good by the time I catch my que up, maybe I can help you.

accdntprone

Best of luck bro. Hope things keep looking up.

accdntprone

With a little paint we could use in in a deed of arms of some sort. Perhaps something with garden gnomes?

accdntprone

Yep, cet from rough from the hammer is a useful sort of guy.

accdntprone

In an effort to speed things along I ordered some pre dished back point tops in the correct sizes for your helms. It should save me a couple days.

accdntprone

Lvl80Viking, thanks. Darkwolfe, I would be happy to make you a hat, but its going to be a month or so. Im backed up, and I just lost a whole week of work

. I will be in the shop this weekend though.

When I first started playing this game I was only about 6 months past knee surgery. I used a mcdavid articulated knee brace (the kind with the funny ratchet wheel looking hinges). I just used an over sized articulated knee. It had to fit the knee brace with hinges, and I found that I needed extra pa...

accdntprone

Cet, sent you an email about some helm tops. Look forward to hearing from you.

accdntprone

Anyone have current contact info for cet? Not getting a response at the email address I got off the web site. Thanks.

accdntprone

Starter buckets are $90, add $25 for the nasal and $15 for the full grill would put a helm like this one at $130.

accdntprone

Helm for a local new guy, starter bucket with full bargrill and nasal added. Really big nugget too. (bigfred this one would fit you

)

Got some work done today in spite of everything. (In short I made ShopMonkey babysit his sister) This helm is done except for drilling the breaths, deburring and painting the inside.

Thanks everyone. Grandma Beck has been ill for a very long time, the doctors have been expecting her to pass "any day" for the last ten years. I'm sad to see her go but at least she is no longer suffering. Survived by 9 sons, 5 daughters, 33 grand kids, 77 great grand kids, and 19 great great grand ...

accdntprone

Ill ask some of the local new folks.

accdntprone

My grandmother passed away last night. I can't afford the trip to Missouri right now, but my parents went. That means I have no day care for the next week or so, so output will be slowed down for a bit. Sorry for the delay.

accdntprone

Gratz bro!

accdntprone

dibs pending payment arrangements

accdntprone

Or use the 8oz in two ply if its what you have.

accdntprone

Except for not being a big fan of the way he does thumbs these are good sport gauntlets. I owned a pair for a few years.

accdntprone

I could also use some strips for shield edging

accdntprone

actually shop monkey wants them, so lets figure out the particulars

accdntprone

I would be willing to make you something. We too have lots of new people, but its hand protection we are short on.

accdntprone

I use to work in a screen printing shop, so I made my arming cap out of a miss printed underarmor shirt. (not sure I would recommend BUYING one for $90 just to cut it up, but if you have a worn / torn / outgrown one laying around...) Seems to get the job done.

accdntprone

Nice hat, I like the shape. Might be an easier sell if it had a face however. I usually do a removable bargrill, which leaves the buyer the option of getting some other kind of visor made in the future.

accdntprone

If we are still awarding Legion of Evil Denizen numbers, I'll take 121212. The beasts older, meaner brother....

accdntprone

Grettir the slow, assuming you can afford them. Otherwise there are several people here on the archive who make solid mitten gauntlets.

accdntprone

I have an old welded bar type hilt Im not doing anything with. Or in a pinch I can make you a cup hilt, as soon as I get more stainless.

accdntprone

I for one wouldn't mind working on them just to check out the pattern. You might consider adding an enclosed thumb while you are at it.

accdntprone

AHh. Ok. To be honest, I have never given much thought to the sca's use of rattan for weapons. It was that way when I found it, always just took it for granted.

accdntprone

I can shed a little light on this helm, given that I made it. It was made for a local kid who wanted to do sca youth fighting. The metal is 16 gage galvanized, with all the zinc sanded off. (which may be why its measuring out a little thin for 16 gage in some spots) Its big, cause he was a big kid a...
