Pitbull Armory

Howdy Mattmaus, Yes really :0) The @#%@#@ thing wanted to turn in to a taco shape most of the time instead of a dish shape. I finally had to do the roll around the edge to freeze it up, then finish the shaping. It was amazing how much the brass border strengthened the whole thing also. Turned out ok...

Hi Steve, A sawhorse works great for a mount on these, just lag screw the shear to one, stable and moveable. I made one out of a large beam cuttoff I had shown below, but a normal sized horse works great also.

Hi guys, When I started armoring I didnt want any plastic shmastic hammers, I wanted STEEL. I didnt think they would shape 16g but I bought a few and they sat around for about 5 years. I recently discovered the value of plastic hammers, especially when Im doing a breastplate or any large compound cu...

Howdy, werent globose bps made all the way to the end of armor in the 17th cent? I didnt think they ever stopped making them. With such a great shape why would they?

Thank you

Howdy Sean, I bet you could rig up a hair dryer to any forge and make it work for almost free. That should give your arm a break.

Hi there, Thank you Baron. I was told there was an example with the Pisonia altar piece but nothing comes up when I search for it. What were the later bps similar to globoses called? and do you have a pic of one with tassets or can you tell me where to search? Thank you for your time. Take care Pitb...

Hi there, I agree with Schreiber. The next set of Mittens I build for SCA use will have a solid thumb designed on them. I tried to build the set above like historical ones (except for the flare on the cuff instead of a roll) Thumbs bend backwards too easily so the thumb armor should not. Thank you P...

Hi there, the lady im building it for is wearing it in a music video so I wanted it to look like clothing, not boobies. Thank you for the idea of brazing a stud on the back.

Pitbull Armory

Hi there, This is my first try at brass trim on armor. Is there anyway to attatch the brass to the aluminum without rivets? One rivet in the center makes it look like a nipple and not a sun, rivets around the edge make it look like boob too. What should I use? Glue, Epoxy? I notced theres alot of fi...
