Awesomesauce!

I'd bid on this in a hot second.... if he took Paypal

PatternWeld

Already offered him a ride.... I'll pass right by his area on the way... Only concern is wether or not he's a minor. If so I must have parental permission and meet his parents/guardians. We need to make sure that Chris is ok with minors at the shop as well because there's a strong chance his insuran...

I recieved the hauberk. Its as nice a butted hauberk as I've seen in a long time. Now to loose 20 more lbs so I can wear a gambeson or arming jacket under it....

Thank you for the trade

PatternWeld

Recieved the lames & splints... Very fast shipping and excellent quality on all of them!

Thank you again

PatternWeld

Since more than one person has enquired about the gorget.... I will make new ones in your choice of natural, blue, red or black, all sewn construction, case stiffened but not full hard, in your sizes for $65 + shipping. PM sent re: bow

PatternWeld

Recieved the gorget, it'll make a new fighter very happy.

I also recieved a whole unused sheet of twist ties in the box! better than a pen!

PatternWeld

I recieved them, they are spectacular! I found an extra set of stainless cuisses that were stored at a freinds house and forgotten earlier today.... going to be a big part of the 15th century kit.

Thank you

PatternWeld

Randy W,

I"m 5'9" 215 50" chest modern size 40 waist with a 30" inseam. Will these fit me?

PatternWeld

This sale is pure torture to me.

If only those pebbled ones were a size 11 or even a 10 1/2 and not size 10...... I'll be patient and wait for the hobnailed ones to become availible.

PatternWeld

Jan please.

PatternWeld

medieval marketplace turned out to be miserable for sales for everyone. Many Merchants didn't even make a single sale. Even then it was fun and I got to meet new folks and have fun playing medieval. A welded helmet bowl and the sword fittings were all I sold. Had tons and tons of folks "oooh an...

PatternWeld

Good thing I decided to check the archive prior to the event tomorrow.... Brucer no PM came through. I'll be back on later tonight... I'm having a fight with a globose and a buffer.....

PatternWeld

Nice..... 2 things come immediately to mind. First is a potential safety thing.... add a upside down "U" to the top of the hammer so when the leafspring eventually fails, it doesn't flip forward and scoop your brains like a 2 minute egg. Second, think about moving the whole motor assembly ...

PatternWeld

Thanks for all the looks & the few PMs.

I just finished packing it all into the car. I'll post whats left when I come back Monday.

PatternWeld

Dafydd, Thank you for the thought but please don't hold it. Your post selling your Kirby blade said you needed money, not just needed money for a new kit. if someone offers you what you can live with taking on the cuirass before I sort this out, take it. I was hoping a fast win-win-win purchase/trad...

PatternWeld

You have no reason to feel a failure. Your customer expected hand made at cookie cutter prices and had no concept of the difference. Learn to recognize them and direct them elsewhere quickly. Cause like, any yahoo with an arc welder can make quality tools like you, right? They wanted a helmet not a ...

Lordnugg,

I appreciate your offer and since it is now evening on the day before I leave...

I'm going to do this. Instead of just a trade I will take $ offers.

By PM please as I don't have time to run it like an auction. other items to be added soon.

PatternWeld

You missed my point. I wasn't calling the machine made stuff banal.... I was calling the folks who can't tell or appreciate the difference banal. It wasn't Hal's fault that the customer walked away. You folks are correct, it's a very very small market segment and not one that you can make a living f...

PatternWeld

Halberds, Take heart. It took you 60 hours because you did just about everything by hand. There are people who appreciate the difference and are willing to pay for it.... its just a narrower market. When I scrape in a fuller by hand, it looks different than when I use a die on the press. It also tak...

PatternWeld

You didn't post the best pictures here.... the detail pics are art, engineering & attention to detail....

Love the fang shaped pins on keepers.....

I thought this looked oddly... familliar?

Is that one of yours?

160 + views and one reply.... since Friday comes quick (thats when I leave for Medieval Marketplace).... Here's something to sweeten the trade.... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/brig/GEDC0327.jpg A new unused original Rathbone Axehead, purchased from Mandrake years ago. Tha...

PatternWeld

WTC makes a very nice CoP (Coat of Plates) but no thank you. I'm looking for the Cuirass, that Dafydd has for sale, or something similar in quality. Late 15th/ early 16th century in design is a must. If I can't trade for it, I'll be selling this Brig at Medieval Marketplace this weekend for enough c...

PatternWeld

Ok 70 views and no bites.... so here is something to sweeten the trade. A hand sewn, hot water cased (not fully hardened), spannish collar gorget. 7-9 oz leather, hand sewn, hand dyed, block form cased, will be finished to your neck size (16-20") with allowance for 1/4" of padding. Will be...

PatternWeld

Oh almost forgot... if you don't feel its a good trade or are on the fence over it, I have a few things I would consider sweetening the deal with.

PatternWeld

Wulfgar that was my bid lol

PatternWeld

I recently hammered a deal on this Brig for my late 15th Century kit. It doesn't fit me. 48" chest over pourpoint MAX 42-44"" for medieval, not modern waist size. Its never been fought in, has a couple minor scuffs. High grade and thickness leather shell, shoulder reenforcement, heavy...

PatternWeld

It might bear mention... if you use a very small diameter drill and drill the ends of the cracks to prevent running....
There is a very low temp HARD solder called TIX that will permanently fill the cracks and polish up seamlessly.

$25

PatternWeld

An etched splint stainless corset?!? The Steampunk & Fetish crowd are going to have spasms.....

Very well done on the fantasy stuff, I just hope to never see it on the list field.

PatternWeld

Or go to the dollar store and buy a HDPE cutting board.....

Essentially what you are doing is making a sharpened, beefed up, cookie cutter.
