Sinric,

I called to purchase it first thing this morning and it was already gone. Sucks to be me.

Darn it.

I guess I will start my search for Mantova and/or Churburg.

Kyle, Kits may be an easy way to go. Master Geoffrey sells dirt cheap CoP kits that only need leather and rivetting together. I am not sure if anyone else offers these, but you could look around. Get a batch of them. Have a little gathering and hammer away on jiffy/tube/speed rivets. As for tools fo...

I think Mad Matt was making them. You might want to ask him.

I have a few heaters and coffins (with or without shield boss) for sale and would be willing to ship USPS to Canada. We have these stamped out by a short run facaility nearby. They are 5052 12ga. All measurements are exact. Let me know if you are interested. Pics of the coffins and other details can...

Pheylin Quinn

Thanks for the replies, so far.

The form is for patterning the multi-plated helms.

Pheylin Quinn

Checking the archive at work.....

Shame on you, Steve!!!

Pheylin Quinn

The kits are easily up-sized. All you do is have him add plate to the sides. That is not a problem. Give him your measurements and there should not be a problem.

Pheylin Quinn

Master Geoffrey makes them in a variety of sizes. IIRC, they are quite nice. I do not know if he has any in stock, though.

You are looking for 14th century, right? Three syllables: Bascinet! A Bascinet is the best choice. It has a wonderful glancing surface and looks sweet with a CoP. ------------------ Pheylin Quinn Hammered Steel by Pheylin Shire of Ravenslake, Midrealm [This message has been edited by Pheylin Quinn (...

I am planning on making a couple of different kabuto styles in the near future. In order to pattern these out, it would be best to have a form to work from. Now my question is, since I am a mental midget when it comes to the use of wood, how best would I go about this task? There are a couple of woo...

Pheylin Quinn

IIRC:

A period method of padding and protecting the kness and elbows was to wrap them with cloth.

Perhaps this would pass as "kneepads" and "elbowpads".

Yes, I think I am free. I will send you a message later in the week.

I thought I replied to your message. Maybe not.

Gauntlet Guy and Galon are two different people.

Gauntlet Guy is NOT Galon, IIRC.

These are still available:

Pheylin Quinn

Master Geoffrey is trying to drum up an order for light weps modified morions and burgeonets using perferated statinless much like Kevin has used.

If I remember correctly, they were cheap, nice and durable. Geoff can be reached @ gaa@hammeredsteel.com

Pheylin Quinn

If you are using it for armouring, I would suggest a DFS 100, made by Delta. It is a bit cheaper, just as surface hard (or a bit harder) than the Peddinghaus. While I swear by Peddinghaus hammers, I would tend to shy away from their anvils do to the cost. If you want to talk anvil tech, I highly sug...

You might want to check with Ironmonger. He sells some good stakes for a lesser price than most.

Hmm, either you have a really small melon or that is one large bascinet!

Pheylin Quinn

I was discussing a similar topic with some folks up in Northshield this weekend. I would think that great helm (or manny other styles) for that matter could be made large anough to fit the child for many years simply by changing the padding, yet fit and function just fine. Thus making such an invest...

I may be convinced to sel my GAA CoP kit done up with reinforced shoulders (for hanging spaulders) and purple suede.

I will try to get pics up tomorrow if interested.

Pheylin Quinn

Kevin,

See... you can't even start a serious thread. Everything you touch turn to silly.

Pheylin Quinn

Roll over a pipe using a weighted rubber mallet, it works better. Also, iron monger's dishing forms are very nice and cheaper.

There are much better options than this for allot less.

IMHO.

Pheylin Quinn

A similar style can be found on:

P. 80 of Arms and Armour - Cleveland Museum of Art (ISBN - 0810963760). Described as being from Augsburg or Hungary, C. 1580.

P. 272 of Museo Poldi Pezzoli - Armeria 1. Nice examples of different styles. They refer to the pieces as being from Milan, c. 1580.

Pheylin Quinn

It is referred to as Anime. I am not too sure of the timeframes off the top of my head, mid-15th century Italian sounds correct.

If nobody else responds, I will look up references and details for you when I get home.

For simple dished and welded ones you might want to check with Ivar or Ron Simmons.

Pheylin Quinn

Excellent book and necessary, however:

I have seen it go regularly on Ebay for about 12 bucks.

Pheylin Quinn

Someone actually thinks it is worth 31.00. Scary.
