Let me see if I can put this into words. If you are talking about mitten gauntlets, here is what I do: 1. Sew a tab of leather to each, either your middle and ring fingers or index and pinky fingers. Either way, this will leave two fingers free for gripping/controlling the weapon. 2. Sew a tab of le...

You can find more information regarding the Strong helm here: http://talbotsfineaccessories.com/helmet/helmet.html It is owned by Master Talbot (Doug Strong). A well known maker of pretty much everything. Most notably casting, armour and shoes. He can be reached via DougStrong@aol.com. Surely, he ca...

Chicago 1999 "Moo"-ving along, a Chicago businessman vacationing at the time in Zurich, had the notion to bring this "art-concept" overseas to the "Windy City".

THis is probably a cow from the "Cows on Parade" or whatever teh city of Chicago called their summer long display of cows dressed up funny. There was a globe-painted cow, a night-sky painted cow, a cow with F-14 wings and tail, real wierd stuff by local artisans. They were all over the sidewalks of ...

Rattan is DISPOSABLE.

Authenticity is NOT!

Darius Architectus had an webpage showing how he made his without welding. Not sure what the URL as, tho. Or the specific suit that they were from.

I use Scotchbrite on an expander wheel. Works great.

CALL Tommy @ www.buffnstuff.com. He can get them in quantity. That is who I get mine from.

I want an Aston-Martin Vanquish. Problem is, everytime I sh!t in one hand and want in the other.... well, you can guess which one fills up first. Actually, I have no idea where to look for welded Ti. I do know that Master Talbot (Doug Strong) recently learned how to weld Ti. Doubt he would be intere...

WOW, you must be wanting to cut battleship plate.

Let me think on it and I might sell mine. Give me a few days.

Chuck,

If there is anything I can do for you, give me a holler. I am a little far south, but you can use my shop if you need to.

Pheylin Quinn

The bench is put together very well. Built in a similar fashion to mine. I, unfortunately, did not think of the height issue for different stakes when I built mine, so I wrench most of them down in my leg-vise. Cad's design for liners in the stakes holes is just about perfect, also. Provides a very ...

Man, pink blankets, snips, breast plates for sale, lost hammers.

Someone was into the good stuff.

I will have to make it a point to attend next year!

Pheylin Quinn

E-mail sent.

As for bulk helms, you might want to try Bokalo:

Not the nicest around, but cheap and sturdy. Keep in mind that the average price for a helm is around $350.00.

I have a pair of mittens in a half-way state. I will try to remember to post pics of them for you.

If there is only surface rust and the finish is a smooth dull finish, you will most likely only need to buff with a couple of different rouges.

For dress use, 24ga should be fine.

For SCA or combat use, 20ga would be the ideal.

Pheylin Quinn

I must be missing something. I did not see any 16ga SS!!

Pheylin Quinn

All the above, plus: IMHO- A wire feed welder should not be purchased unless it has the capability of being upgraded to gas at some point. You will most likely need this. I suggest looking at Lincoln/Hobart or Miller. Miller being the better/more expensive. Lincoln/Hobart makes a nice MIG for a dece...

Nice.

The spaulders appear to......wide and flat.

Thank you for the input. This is the first non-European armou attempt for me. The number of plates were specified by the customer and I agreed as it would be easier to do. Time is a factor, as he wants the light weaps for a Japanese event in June and the heavy one for Pennsic. I can, most likely, do...

I do not normally post my own work, but I figured what the heck. Kabutos are not a common topic. These are surprisingly easy to build, if you do not mind setting lots of rivets. For all those that care: New kabuto is in progress. Both a light and heavy weapons versions will be completed: http://www....
