Proof positive that the customer is not always right. Sometimes they are downright wrong......in the head.

Janos,

I find it very interesting that your helm has the strange ability to mimic many different facial expressions!

What better way to reach the broadest possible audience? An acquaintance of mine is a classic auto broker (we're talking the REAL THING! Numbers matching, rare beauties.) He had only the northern section of Illinois and a select loyal customers scattered around the globe to sell to. Ebay popped up a...

I suggest that we all get to gether and beat Kevin with a MCA tied to a silly stick if he ever posts something like this again!

He has other things he could be doing, like making armour!

Thank you, Wade!

I have a catalogue, in German, of Peddinghaus' ENTIRE line.

I was unaware that they made a line of bodyworking tools. Had I known that, my days in the automotive industry would have been that much sweeter!

Nah-nah. Had my eyes closed.

Um, interesting.

He does look a bit Neanderthal-ish, doesn't he?

What, 1.25"ID is not period?!

Pheylin Quinn

Talbot, I am looking at an ENLARGED and cleaned up line drawing of the helm you were working on last night. (If this is the project you are referring to.) I only see one area that would require anything other than a B2 to cut and that is in the browband/occulars. Even that COULD be done with a B1 an...

Ulfar,

It was good talking to you! Thanks for calling.

I will update this post and e-mail you as soon as the plates arrive at my door!

Pheylin Quinn

No way in HELL you will get me in one of those things.

Besides, I look better in green!

OK, I finally got my lazy butt up and posted pics:

Thank you,

I use Peddinghaus hammers, primarily. I like that shape and feel of them. They can, however, be on the light side. You can see a pic of the peddinghaus hammers, that I find useful, here: http://www.hammeredsteel.com/images/Pb010003.jpg If you keep up with these hammers (polish them and ONLY use for ...

Ulfar,

Master Geoffrey and I will have plates in shortly.

Heavy duty beer cans. Or lamellar, maybe.

Pheylin Quinn

Oh, it can't be that bad. Maybe some nice Berber or green shag.......

Pheylin Quinn

Um, well......

I have absolutely nuthing positive to say, so I am not gonna say it.

Pheylin Quinn

Rivetted or butted maille? If the titanium is of the right makeup and worked proerly I would assume that rivetted would really hold up well, I would imagine.

Pheylin Quinn

I have decided that three Beverlys are more than one armourer should have. B3 (does not have original handle, using galvanized pipe perfect working order, smooth as silk)- $475.00 + S/H I will post pics later.

If there isn't enough interest for you to do an order, or you don't want to deal with the wait or hassle of a bulk order, keep in mind that we sell the Birka-style plates in bulk. Prices can be found here: http://www.hammeredsteel.com/gaa/armour/gaa/lammelar.htm At present we are only doing 20ga SS....

Bargrill looks to be WAY too close to the face.

Are you guys planning on doing anything from the 14th century in the near future?

Pheylin Quinn

There is an SCA fighter with a Roman/Greek persona with a bronze finished helm. It is plated steel.

IIRC, SCA rules only allow steel for helms.

Pheylin Quinn

This one look slike it would handle the rigors of armouring pretty well:

Yep, that would do you good.

Pheylin Quinn

Steve,

Next time you see Gwydion or Geoffrey, tell them that I said to give you a big wet sloppy kiss for me!

You are definitely the MAN!

Thank you for making more accurate maille available to the masses.

You are turning into the Ron Simmons of maille!

IIRC - vinegar.

$196.00 is ridiculous for a three legged stand. I have mine mounted to one end of my bench. They work great that way. http://www.hammeredsteel.com/images/Pb010006.jpg Any stable four-legged surface will work. Footnote: The whole pattern for all the Beverlys is the same. Makes swapping them out easy....

Pheylin Quinn

It could be stainless. I know that 302 stainless is not magnetic.
