I figured I could post these here too because, I am not a laurel. :) http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/new%20work/aonghus01.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/new%20work/aonghus02.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/new%20work...

It's been a little while since I posted pics... Well here is the completed Seax for Aonghus. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/new%20work/aonghus01.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/new%20work/aonghus02.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/cl...

Samuel, I think you are asking for a critter that doesn't exist. The forges folks use to do armour are very specialized. I use a larger Farrier's type forge (NC Tool Whisper lowboy) and while it has room for shoes/axe heads, its primary purpose is for pattern & cable damascus. I would suggest you bu...

How about have a locking bevor made for it out of Perf Plate? You can maintain period lines and still see!

Master Eirik,

May I respectfully inquire as to why can I NOT find you on Ebay? Your prices kick tail all over the 2 rattan dealers on there now.

Lorccan,

Have you ever seen WidowMontoya's fold up, frequent flyer shield design?

These may help

Amazing upgrade job. Its a completely different helmet.

Reminds me a bit of the ones from the movie "Excalibur" or "Sword of the Valiant" very much a Terry English feel to it.

Something is very fishy here.... http://www.badgersden.com/Store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=92&zenid=53bf02c15e1aaaa59515b112f9c525b3 They seem to carry Windrose gear, cheaper than Windrose... AND they are using the same pictures http://www.windrosearmoury.com/zc/index.php?main_page=index&cPath...

The cost of a custom pourpoint versus what Pitbull charges for these belts makes this a no brainer.

PatternWeld

Ya know..... I could have bought from Frank's Cane & Rush, almost locally..... but Master Eirik comes so highly praised, I couldn't resist doing business with him.

Now if those matched up to the size & hole pattern of someone else's metal plates.... that'd be spiffy!

I've been wanting to do a 1/2 & 1/2 set of lamellar.

PatternWeld

Thank you! I can't wait to make a couple nice planed swords, a hand & a half sword, a mace haft & a pole hammer.

PatternWeld

Paypal sent... as close to 1.5" as possible on the 3 sticks please.

PatternWeld

Shipping on 3 84" premium sticks to 92307 please?

PatternWeld

Forgive my ignorance.

What is the difference between the shaved and the premium? is it density or just premium is "skin on" ?

What diameter is the "premium" ?

PatternWeld

It bears mentioning that Jamie @ Polarbear forge does have Effingham pattern plates

PatternWeld

+1 for KWT - UlrichvR has access to a diversity of really talented folks and his service is top notch.

PatternWeld

Nothing wrong with plain, especially when the execution and lines are that clean.

Excellent work.

PatternWeld

Edit:

Didn't feel it needed bumped but I have received a quote from an armourer who's skill is spot on and whose price is also exactly at my projected budget.

Thank you for looking

Lil barge cement and some waxed heavy thread... no problem. 5 Minute fix. I just needed to punch new adjustment holes... got lazy... pulled harder than I should have and ripped it loose. The point is... I didn't rip the leather.

PatternWeld

I wear a 10 1/2 EEE, His size 11 14th century boots stretched in to fit me well.

Oddly though I did managed to pull a buckle off one today... separated the glue and the stitching but didn't rip the leather. Its my own fault for not punching a new hole though.

PatternWeld

One of the dumbest armouring injuries I've seen.... guy preps a llame for drilling, has a scrapwood slip supporting it inside a vice. drills his pilot hole at low speed, then changes bits & slips the belts to up the rpm. He misread the chart and set it to 4200 rpm... on a 3 HP floor drill press. He ...

Mid to late 14th century style, proper tulip shape. Send me a PM with a quote. Any replies other than a PM will be flamed, ridiculed and belittled.

No Problem! If I ever resurrect my plans for a 15th Century kit It's going to be this style. Can't wait to see it finished!

PatternWeld

Since no one has responded to this yet....

Hjalmr here on the archive is your guy. Dunno if he does a Bascinet style but he does Norman. They are rough but decently shaped helmets and from all reports just about bombproof.

Looks like you have a damn fine start on some 15th century "Heroic Revival"

Does anyone know if BKS/Kerry Stagmer made good with our fellow archiver, Whonew?

BKS does make good stuff for sure but I've not heard that this got settled.

I.E. you'd be supporting a person who ripped off a fellow archiver.

Just got my order in on the website for some buckles & some of the 14th century 3 buckle boots with lugged soles for Pops.

this thread is the walking, talking personification of the confusion of fantasy dressup games and reality. Really Maeryk? Know what? When push comes to shove, many of us talk about the ideals and standards we admire. After reflection I got to thinking.... Its easy to condemn, villify but what I hav...

I was going to replace the 5 lame knees with soupcan knees my friend and I made and I want to make shynbald (spelling) greaves but I don't know where to start.
