Hi there. thanks for the reviews and the good words. Im sorry to say I have had to raise the price of the belts 10 dollars since I started assembling the buckles and straps by hand, damn leather is not getting any cheaper either. Anyway Im sorry for the price hike but I personally guarantee you will...

Howdy Koops. Take your lames and dish them in the same dish your knee and elbow cops were dished in. When you assemble the joints you will be amazed at how much nicer the joint will work, it alows you to use shorter rivets also because the lames stay tight to the cop through the whole range of motio...

Hail Good Baron, I do it like Chris does, welding rod about 8 inches long witha hook on each end. One end hooks to the gaunt strap, innner cuff, or metacarpal, and the other end hooks to the vambrace, or Breastplate opening, or elbow strap. If you hook to the bp it holds the arm bent at a nice posit...

Hi Pedro, Nice looking helm here. Yes as was said, dish the trim first but at this point I would take a rubber dead blow or a rawhide hammer and mash the fleur de lis down to the helm over a large ball or pipe stake. If this dont work just add more rivets to it to suck it up. Keep up the good work. ...

Hi there, Thanks for the plug Swete, Yes those plastic mittens I make have very little mobility in the hand area, The wrist moves around fine but I built them for holding a weapon and thats it. They open just barely enough to get the weapon in your hand, and the almost solid thumb seemed like a good...

Hi there Hal, Good to see more tools. I like this idea for armoring out of the shop, and to just mount that extra stake somewhere in your shop at a moments notice. Thanks for the pic and keep up the good work.

Hi there, Nice patterning job for sure, Only suggestion I have is to make the lames on the shoulders progressively shorter instead of 3 long ones and 2 short ones. Keep up the good work and post more pics when you get time.

Hi there, I do It like Hal does. Heat on when im in the shop, I keep everything dripping with wd40 at all times. It would cost way too much to keep heat on in there at all times.

Hi there Cisco, I once had a pipe bender set up with a steel bowl and a domed ram that would go into it. Id heat up the cops , center it in the setup and push the plastic into the bowl, leave it there till it cools. It gave me an ok cop but I was never happy with them. Thats when I started doing met...

Hi there, This was a fun order to build recently. The customer didnt want a full Roman arm but just vambraces, So I made these from aluminum plates mounted to 3 leather straps with brass rivets. They are bendable and flex when you bend your arms. As I wore them I wanted to make them suspended like l...
