The Kienbusch collection is wonderful I need to get down to Philly to check it out. as it is now I have only experienced it through reading Claude Blair hehe.

Im based out of Connecticut and I agree the more swords I can get my hands on the better. I would really like to examine more damaged hilts I tend to get the most out of that.

Llewelyn Gododdin

One great reference is the rapier and the smallsword by a.v. Norman. Other then that first hand is the best way to learn and my education gives me access to some great collections. Although its one thing to see rapiers and another to make them so I think there is allot to be said for just trying to ...

Andrea Ferrara, I can definitely do some custom work pm me with details. Thanks for the feedback everyone! I am using a hanwei blade in there right now, I want to use blades that are not so noodle-ey but as a heavy fighter I find my shots are stiff at times. Im poking around to get some blades manuf...

Im just getting into marketing my rapier work and could use some opinions about pricing. I usually price my work as low as I possibly can, relying on streamlining my own process to make it worth it for me. Lately however I am finding it harder and harder to make that work so here is my question I us...

Llewelyn Gododdin

I think the best is .090 6061. the trick is to be patient and attentive to it. When you work it plan on wrecking the first one of whatever you make and the second one should be serviceable. I just got through making some gothic couters out of it and they are bomb proof. That being said I agree with ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

steel or brass? I have a few

Llewelyn Gododdin

Looks awesome! cant wait to see my fencing jacket!

Llewelyn Gododdin

I can do that pm me with the details and we can talk time frame and price. I have been trying to get away from welded quillions these days but I can make them in just about any style or form. My schooling has brought me up close to some excellent historical swords and I have been interested in makin...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Thanks! I have been making hilts for a little bit. the hardest part is hand cutting quatrefoils I need to finish my cad files and get them laser cut.

Llewelyn Gododdin

Its one of the wide hanwei blades

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hi folks,
Here is a quillion I made for my rapier but it is a little to small for my hand. Im open to trades for other rapier gear or I can sell this for 50 bucks (Pommel and blade not included)

It has been well over a year of trying to get my fencing jacket back and it seems at this point it is not coming. I have always had good dealings with Lydia in the past and I know she ran into some trouble a while ago but this is definitely to long to wait. So here is my rating Communication 1/5 I h...

Llewelyn Gododdin

When it rains it pours, I got my mac out of the shop and now my ford focus died this morning. So anticipating a huge repair bill I am getting rid of some more items at crazy low prices! I may also get rid of some higher end items later on but I would hate to have to sell my new armour so lets try th...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey folks, I have a few things fs in the last ditch attempt to fix my computer. here we go... 1. 2" aluminum wheel pommel for a rattan sword 15 dollars. I just made this one and have enough aluminum for maybe two more 2. some used leather vambs 20 bucks 3. a spit and riveted small chain camaille for...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Ya, sorry guys my mac is in the shop and I am having trouble with images at the moment. I will post as soon as I get my computer out of the shop, that being said may I interest anyone in an arm? maybe a leg? hehe

Llewelyn Gododdin

Llewelyn Gododdin

Thanks!

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey guys, In a further attempt to get my computer out of the shop I am selling a pair of rough from the hammer aluminum low profile elbow cops that I added a rondel to. There is a diagram on the site that gives size specs and pics. I think they sell new for 25 bucks these are in great shape and have...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Llewelyn Gododdin

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey folks, I am updating my armour to a more period kit so I would like sell these poleyns. They are made from 60/61 t6 .090 thickness, I would say they are a size large. I would like 65 dollars for them if the buyer wants I can throw in the cuisses for an extra 25 they are in pretty good condition ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

I have a unit of the new empire knights plus all of the plastic bits mostly still on the sprue. I could let them go for 20 if you want them

Llewelyn Gododdin

I drill a 3/16th hole in the tip and then dish the "horn" side slowly working to the rivet line, that way I am working everything slowly and at the same time. Its the same technique I use to get this roll o a gorget http://www.flickr.com/photos/40421015@N ... hotostream

Llewelyn Gododdin

sure I will post a file tomorrow for anyone who wants it. it is riveted on the inside line. On the pair I am making for myself I will have a larger flare and a few flutes

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey folks, I have been working on my gothic couter pattern for a while and I am finally satisfied (almost). This piece was a little small for me, it would probably work but I want it perfect. Anyway, it is made of .090 60/61 so it is a tank and I would say it is a size medium to large. because I am ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

He everyone I have a few dishes for sale that are factory seconds, they will still hold up to some use but have minor issues. one 6" for 25 dollars plus shipping This one had some air bubbles in the cast Im not sure how deep they go but it seems solid one 8" for 40 dollars this one has an ...

Llewelyn Gododdin

Hey everyone, I am finally picking up the dishing forms tomorrow morning, I am truely sorry this has taken that long but I did not take into account how backed up the foundry is around this time. I will ship right after I get them and no later then friday after I ship I will send you your tracking n...

Llewelyn Gododdin

The foundry seems to be having an issue, I guess three didnt come out so they are recasting. Im hoping to have them on tuesday but it depends if they can get them in. Im sorry this is taking so long guys.

Llewelyn Gododdin

I have been playing with this one I made m It is riveted together and then I used brazing rod to reenforce the bends, so far so good... I have been waiting for this one to have seen a year of actual use to make sure it will hold before I sell them but if anyone wants the pattern to try it send me a ...
