Lol that's awesome

accdntprone

Yeah, I would say the top needs beefing up.

accdntprone

14 ga mild. I don't usually do "options" on the starter buckets. Perhaps you would consider one of my Norse spangenhelms? Or if you are dead set on a starter bucket with a full bargrill you would be looking at $115 plus shipping. (full bargrill is 6 - 7 bars usually, depending on your measurements)

accdntprone

Me too. I really don't want to have to spend a day making t tunics. LAst time I managed to stitch my finger to the damn collar.

accdntprone

Anyone out there want to make me a few t tunics for a hat? (exchange at Pennsic?)

accdntprone

Any place to get solid steel round head rivets other than R.J. Leahy or McMaster carr? I order 2 pounds of 1/8" rivets from R.J. Leahy for $14.50, then spend another $17.30 to ship them. Same kinda thing with McMaster car. Its funny, I can ship a 10-12 pound helm across the country for $25, but it c...

accdntprone

Throw me a pm with measurements and any questions.

accdntprone

One problem off the top of my head, there is a LOT of icefalcon stuff out there. May make it hard to distinguish (especially from a little ebay pic) you stuff from someone elses. Still, best of luck. Hope you get the chance to beat the living hell out of these armor bandits.

accdntprone

Price is still at $75, for any order placed before pennsic. Up to a few months on the turn around at this point however. Still plan to have a few helms AT Pennsic, if anyone wants to try that rout. The plan is to have a sugarloaf, a couple norse spangens, and a couple starter buckets. That's the PLA...

accdntprone

Indeed

accdntprone

Yep. ANother one. With two more to come yet this weekend. But on the plus side I get to finish Mcgriddle's Mongolian this weekend too. And the two helms for Voislava Pevtsova. KInda nice to work on something besides starter buckets for a little bit

Ahh, good. Now I know who to send people too when they ask me to make one

accdntprone

That is one pretty hat. I can't buy it, that's two house payments. Plus how can I expect other people to trust there heads to my helms if I won't wear one myself? But DAMN that is one pretty hat. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about running out of stuff to learn in metalworking any time soo...

accdntprone

Remind me to kill you later.... Awesome hat btw.

accdntprone

whonew, was it you I got that helm from back when?

accdntprone

While my starter buckets seem to get the most attention, I do some nicer helms as well. Pretty booked up just now, but will be looking for some custom orders to fill up the off season.

accdntprone

$90 (Markh you should pm me about a bucket for your squire)
Valstarr, if your question was directed at me, Im about 3 months out.

accdntprone

side cutters.

accdntprone

Ah. Perhaps after you have had a chance to get tired of this one I can swap you another for it? As I said, I mostly just want to look it over, see how it has held up. Looks like its doin ok. Wonder how many times it has changed hands?

accdntprone

Hmm. On the one hand It would be cool to have a look at a helm I made 10-12 years ago. On the other hand Im not sure how much I can afford to pay for the privilege. Plus I don't need the helm (I'm assuming you do?) I would really like a chance to look it over though.

accdntprone

That's more like it! $65

accdntprone

Can't tell for sure without a closer look, but it looks a lot like one of mine. IF that's the case its 12 ga top (rough from the hammer) and 14 ga back and face
and on that note Ill go $50....

accdntprone

The Valsgarde helm is beautiful. I would love to know more about how its made. Also the brass (or bronze?) work, is that something you do yourself? If so, would you care to explain just how?

accdntprone

I like the look of this too :) Hmmmm.... seriously considering it.... curious about something... would it be possible to have the bars vertical rather than horizontal? Not really on a starter bucket. The facial opening is short so that I don't have to do as many bars (thus less labor, thus cheaper)...

accdntprone

Morgan,
Ok, email me some measurements. I need around the head at browline and from the top of the ear straight down till you reach shoulder. Or if they are for loaner helms let me know that and Ill make them generic large.

Starter buckets are $75 till pennsic, then going up to $90 (sorry for the price increase, but its $15 in mats and 6-8 hours work so I kinda have to) I do other spangens with a full bar grill, the starter bucket has a short bargrill to make it easier thus cheaper. So yeah, I can put a full bar grill ...

If all of your correspondence with me has been via the armourarchive and you are sending me a check or money order, please include your archive name as well as your real name so I know who is paying me. I received a check today, and I have no idea who this person is. (I don't want to post real names...

Another thing I can't figure out about Knotwolfs stuff, how is he working with the metal without messing up the patina? The lower half of this helm is going to be covered by leather, but still....

One wall (the short wall opposite the door) has a work bench on its full length already, but it is so lightly built that I doubt it would survive a days work. Im trying to decide now if I should rip it out, or just build a real workbench along one of the long walls and save the other thing for a sto...

sadly no. Just an exhaust fan in the gable on the back side.
