bump for new prices

Llewelyn Gododdin

Nope but I think we are trying to get something together. What size do you need?

Llewelyn Gododdin

Well I can get one ordered up for you and I will have a 6" hangign around for anyone that may need one as I have to have them made in pairs

Llewelyn Gododdin

I use the 8" for rondels the shallow curve gives me a good dish. I also use it for shoulders, breastplates helms ect. I tend to use the 6" for knees and elbows. Didnt you already buy a dish?

Llewelyn Gododdin

Nothing in stock right now can get more dishes usually takes two weeks. I have a cone dish that I have not cast yet ready to go to the foundry but I was waiting to get a positive to match up with it first. What do you need?

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey guys, I know you are all probably sick of my multitude of posts so I will combine everything else I have into this one post. 1. Pole axe, over 5' I made the head out of 1060 and the langets out of mild steel the shaft is ash. I just need to clean it up to really make purdy sold pics here https:/...

Llewelyn Gododdin

The greastword blade is 54.5" over all length the handle is 11.5 the blade is 43" the rapier blade is 48" overall with a 40" blade and an 8" handle I will try to do this in order so I will give lord kalen first dibs and then the blades will go to the next two if he does not want them sound fair? pic...

Llewelyn Gododdin

I will get a measurement in the morning I think ts a 45" blade and a 10" handle. it is flat tang and may take a bit of work to fit to a specific hilt of course. I think the rapier is 43"blade

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey folks I have two brand new alchem sword blades I need to sell in a hurry one is a greatsword blade he other is a new lighter flat tang rapier blade with a threaded tang. I can get lengths and pics tomorrow I would like 80 for the greatsword blade and 70 for the rapier blade Thanks for looking!

Llewelyn Gododdin

I was setting up an almain rivet with this breastplate but I need to raise money fast so here it is. It is made of 16g 304 stainless I made it to fit me and I have a 46" chest and a 38" waist and I am 6'1" Its a bit big in the chest for me so I think it would work for someone with up to a 48" chest ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Price drop to 475!

Llewelyn Gododdin

Nope the extension is about 1" up from the pommel inside the handle. I find that holds up best. I prefer full tang for obvious reasons but when I have to weld onto the tang I make sure I get a good solid connection and its not in a high stress area. I would never put a weld close to the blade as it ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

I usually weld a flat plate matched to the profile of the tang that transitions into a threaded bar or I just peen over the extension. That way you do not rely on just a welded rat tail, rather you have a larger join further up in the handle.

Llewelyn Gododdin

Yup its stuff I made, these were a pain to hammer out and grind

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey Folks Shop needs money, so here is a bastard sword I am building for cut and thrust for sale. I built it from a hanwei practical hand and a half blade, the quillions and pommel are forged steel that I heat blued the handle is cherry that I cut an angular profile into and wrapped in tough black l...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Fresh off the lathe, turned to 1 1/4" with turned kydex rondels and a cherry stained handle. Handle is 7" I think the whole thing is like 21". pics here https://www.flickr.com/photos/40421015@N02/13946635068/

I would like 35 bucks for this guy

Thanks for checking this out!

Llewelyn Gododdin

Sold!

Llewelyn Gododdin

I have built a few perf plate helms for cut and thrust, I have found that dishing the perf plate is much different than dishing a standard sheet of metal. First it does not expand it shrinks the holes do not get bigger they collapse on themselves when I used a standard dish and ball stake. I will tr...

Llewelyn Gododdin

So I got around to finishing these up made from .040 1050 spring steel, blackened munitions finish size lg. These were a prototype so the finish and hole spacing is slightly off but for someone with a 15th century persona these could be a great deal! I would like 150 for the set pics here https://ww...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Those look awesome! I cant wait to see how the others are going to look. I have the stock cut down and have a few done already

Llewelyn Gododdin

Thanks guys!

Llewelyn Gododdin

I hear that bro. I just have been feeling that I as a hobbiest armourer have a harder time satisfying orders then the "pros". By that I dont mean that I make a worse product, more that when an issue arises I do not have the capital on hand in most cases to issue an immediate refund so the customer h...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey Folks, For the last few years I have had fun making custom helms and sword parts for folks but reality has come to kick me in the pants on more then one occasion and I cant afford to keep going like this. So I will no longer be taking any custom orders and very limited commissions. I will still ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

I have worked with spun domes quit a bit and I find that the process of spinning can be tricky to do right and will thin the metal out in places. The other issue you may have depending on the material is that spinning really work hardens the metal so if you are using something like 410 you may have ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Llewelyn Gododdin

Now only 150!

Llewelyn Gododdin

Haha I guess I picked a bad time to sell 'em

Llewelyn Gododdin

The steel is .040 hardened spring steel. Im not sure what gauge maybe 18 or 20 they weigh about a pound each maybe less maybe a tad more my scale isn't that accurate

Llewelyn Gododdin

Llewelyn Gododdin
