Baron Alcyoneus

It is for sewing leather.

Baron Alcyoneus

It isn't in that book, but I found it on the AAF. Check here, on p4.

User Album: Carl Koppeschaar - Livrustkammaren

It isn't exactly the same, but it might be a picture of the opposite side. Check PMs.

It IS next to the gold pinked doublet in your collection link.

Baron Alcyoneus

I have this book:

I'll look at it as soon as I can.

Baron Alcyoneus

I have several of those saddle maker's clamps, they're pretty cool.

Baron Alcyoneus

It is in his Stockholm album, that might help. I think I've seen it, I'll try to remember to look in some books when I'm home.

If you have to pick just one or two, then get the funny T shaped ones

Yes, the two touching the top wall of the box are the best.

Baron Alcyoneus

I'm hoping someone will have more info, that is all I could find out about it.

Baron Alcyoneus

A relic from the Holy Catacombs of Pancratius.

It can take extra hands, but a good way to keep something cool while grinding is to use an air nozzle on it during the process.

This isn't fantasy armor: Its period correct 15th century "psuedo correct SCAdianism" on Roman/Greek antiquity armor. Basically, styling armor with peturges, brass maille, brigandines to simulate musculata and lots of animal/human motifs. This is also my shameless goal. I want to be an reenactor, r...

Musee d'Armee. Spend extra time on anything painted black.

Baron Alcyoneus

You might find some solid 1" fiberglass rods at truck stops, or supply places.

Or, buy 8' here:

Very good!

Look in your yellow pages under tool grinding/sharpening..

HRC50?

Baron Alcyoneus

This is what I did with my elbows.

While it isn't the primary scope of this video, he says that for a company to become a success (big business, not small shop) there need to be 3 people with special skills. One to make the good or service, one to market it, and one to take care of the books. On the scale of a small armory it isn't r...

You'd think his nail would be smashed from starting those rivets.

There are medieval hats that look like this.

Arab Boy, I don't have a direct link to him.

I think that they have some rawhide bases from Henry VIII's reign.

Baron Alcyoneus

Good work!

Baron Alcyoneus

Cool!

Baron Alcyoneus

Thanks for the information. I thought it might have been a pitcher of some sort, but I wasn't sure. Baron Alcyoneus, I hadn't considered the glass beaker being a lamp, but in the closer view it looks like the white part might be a cloth cap tied on. During the medieval period, did candle based ligh...

Baron Alcyoneus

I think that the item on the mantle is an oil lamp. The white cap on the top might be the ceramic wick holder. You'll notice that while the chandelier and candle holder above the mantle have spikes for candles, none of them have candles in them.

Baron Alcyoneus

I cant remember if this listed names, and it might have just been family names, but there were 130k? listings between the 3 books.

Email the Met, maybe they'll tell you.

Baron Alcyoneus

I'd call them Romanesque rather than Gothic. The Met's online catalog is pretty worthless for searching. "Medieval ivory angel" gets me crap like a painting from 1756, among 9418 other results.

Don't mock my Uncle Edward!

I wouldn't cut anything of, you still need to keep it in place, so washers and nuts on it. Bushings are available at hardware stores like Ace.

Baron Alcyoneus

Get a replacement Grade 8 bolt, that should be an easy fix.

Baron Alcyoneus

Yes, sometimes things pop up in the historical record, like this, that are authentic and blow your mind.

Baron Alcyoneus

Maybe you needed two of them.

Baron Alcyoneus

Only as an antique.

You might look at some of the Durer prints if you want justification, but you're still mixing current fashion, and antiques.
