That helmet screams "Give me a lil TLC and get me into the hands of a fighter who will love it!"

Can you take paypal?

and in stainless, no less.... seriously clean work. can't wait to see it on other pieces.

Hrmmmm gothic on the cheap? what happened to pictures?

PatternWeld

Gunther, Nicely done but for sure consider replacing the rheostat idea with a clutch assembly. Spring loaded guide rollers with a Polyurethane or filled nylon wheel work a LOT better than self lubricating slide guides that wear out. Now even though this picture shows metal roller guides, it may spar...

Nice.... but I'd just take the 1050 strip.. sandwhich it with L6 & nickle foil or 15N20, heat it up and make it go SQUISH

Torvaldr,

Know what my solution to those kind of panic moments is?

Light up a big fatty. Relax cause you'll always find it in plain sight or the last place you look.

PatternWeld

Hal take your grinding, as evenly as possible, to about 90% of finish making sure to keep the steel cool the whole time. If you can't touch it with your bare hands, its too hot. If it turns colors, its too hot. Heat it up to a glowing orange red, then edge quench it untill the back of the spine is o...

I have to admit, I've coveted a good brig for a while...as in years. So it was a bit of a punch in the yarbles....

But I know it's going to make someone very happy. 48" chest over pourpoint is MAX for sure and 42-44"" is right on... for medieval, not modern waist size.

PatternWeld

Recieved it today... it's gorgeous to say the least.

It also doesn't quite fit on my mutant frame.... so it will be going with me to Medieval Marketplace

PatternWeld

Guys, if I but had the time..... Voiders may be an idea because I can simply switch them to the 15th century kit w/o much fuss... but cost is still a factor. With one I get a full tunic for the same price range as voiders OR a skirt of the other

PatternWeld

Reminds me more of an Anima armour...

Pictures of your work? Website?

PatternWeld

Weren't the ones with lung plates considered more 15th century and the one pictured closer to 16th? Just curious but either way I'd volunteer to alpha test, use a leather outer and nails instead of rivets depending on hole diameters. Tabbed is not an issue to me because I have access to a belt grind...

When are you getting more of the SCA legal rubber hammer heads in stock?

I am so sorry to hear this. I fell in love with that helmet and it tipped the balence in going ahead and ordering a Custom helm from Jackie.

If this is still around after medieval marketplace I will see about getting it back from you. Yes even though it doesn't fit me.

Thanks for the replies and info.... I notice that the site lists the xl size shirt with only 18" sleeve openings.... has anyone found issue with the sleeves being tight in the upper arm or restricting movement? Believe me, I'd love flat ring..... but this isn't going to break the bank and a Knu...

This one is likely too big, it'll fit a 24" comfy

http://www.ringmesh.com/default.asp Has anyone actually, held/seen/used their welded stainless maille? Ever do business with them? I want something durable and super light to complete the impression for Pas ect.. so I don't need it as primary defense. Just want to make sure it isn't going to tear u...

If for some strange reason dibs fall through on the arms leggs and spaulders I'd like them as a set. Disregard if not availible as a set.... a long shot at this point but nice to have a matching set for medieval marketplace.

PatternWeld

Is there something other than size that makes this a "Ladies" helmet? Cause I'd wear it. Nice work.

PatternWeld

Bump to keep this fresh. Freedom isn't free.

PatternWeld

Recieved the Globose today. Cian cleaned it & oiled it for shipping, what he didn't mention was that it also has a spiffy stop rib attached and nice buckles too.

I forgot who he said made it but it's very nice work. Thank you Cian

PatternWeld

Bump because no one has responded.... So it appears to be back to you Ka0z

Sean if you text me pics I will upload them to photobucket and post them here for you

I'm no expert but this is roughly parallel with Sutton Hoo. It bears mentioning that underneath the decoration the construction methods used are pretty solidly copied Roman. So borrowing from Roman sources though 100 years out of date may not be bad advice. Now we know that the Scandinavians had tra...

While I was gone to the forge, the shield blank was delivered. Just opened it.... If it's not 7075 aluminum I'd be very surprised. Its bombproof ... no wonder you almost broke your shear on it. I wanna know what it took to get the curve in it, because its smooth. Drilled the entire circumference wit...

I must compliment Metalmasher. When an issue with shipping that was partially my fault cropped up, he was lightning fast to offer to offset the cost. I must decline his kind offer but I want others to know I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. Trade or buy from this Gentle with confiden...

Please allow me to express my thanks for resurrecting this resource. The 1411 impression is almost *DEAD* on what I've been trying to do for my own kit. It gives me confidence that though the pieces that are going into the kit are from varied sources it should work as a documentable whole. I acquire...
