Good advice Mattmaus, thanks for the tip on the cold tongs ill try that. normally I cant get an even twist unless I have a wrench on both ends of the piece, But by cooling the outer part a bit it would even out the twists.

Thank you

Howdy, the tools I use for plastic armor are, Skill saw, Drill, Sawzall, Bench grinder, razor knife, Propane torch, thats all you need. Good luck on your suit , youll do fine if you just jump in and get all over it.

Howdy, You didnt answer my question. Ive seen dog bone rawhide used for many things, You said you tried it and it didnt work, How did you try to soften it?

Thanks

Hi there Sean, I think you can take one of those large dog bones you mentioned and soak in hot water until soft, cut to size and apply. How did you try it?

Hi there Otto, a jigsaw is a nightmare cutting steel, just get a HF throatless shear if you dont have one. Or a Beverly. or a bandsaw or ANYTHING besides a jigsaw. I must admit my B2 dont like stainless though, its tuff stuff. Good luck

Hi Tomi, Wow I like the Phyrgian helm alot, the crossbar looks neat in the eye sockets and the splash of brass dressed it up nice. Nice lines on the helm too. Keep up the good work!

Thank you

Hi there, Id pass on those if I were you. The articulation leathers looks like 2-3 oz upholstery leather, And like Angus said the half cuff is weak. You can get decent ones on ebay all the time for the same price.

Hi there, yes the HF shear will cut 1/8 alum easily, the shears work ok its just you have to weld them together and replace the blade screws with nuts and bolts. I used one for a few years, seemed to be a decent cheap tool after you get done fine tuning it.

Hi GP, Looking great as usual, I still like the sallet the best and the armadillo helm next. The only change I would make to the armadillo helm is to add some detail to the cheek plates. Decorative plates, or even just some rivets, or anything else you can think of. Keep up the great work and thanks...

Hi there. Ive always hung my arm armor off my shoulder armor from my gorget or BP on my personal armor. The leather suspension in the Pauldron seems to let the Rebrace twist with your arm well enough. It makes the arm armor almost weightless in some positions. Not sure if this is period it just made...

Howdy, Im not sure if the English wheel would work but if you start dishing in the center with a small dish and move out toward the edge with progressively bigger dishes its pretty easy. I used steel tire rims from wheel barrow size up to large truck size. Brake drums work good too, they make a boto...
