Well, I do have a few non-helm things that I make. All except the basket hilt and shield baskets are half off ending today.

The basket hilts and shield baskets, I just can't do that with due to material costs.

I checked, 25 inches long... single horn, approx 140 pounds.

It appears that my anvil is likely a Hay-Budden anvil... which makes it's manufacture between 1890 and 1920 give or take.

Anyone know if these were good anvils?

Well, the response to this sale has been quite brisk.

I'm closing it out as of Sunday (except for the few I've agreed to take a late order from)

I want to stop the sale before I'm buried under too many orders to fill.

Thanks!

Crispin, stainless elbows, yes... $30 during the sale.
knees... no, I don't really do knees.
I've been directing folks to Stonekeep for good, inexpensive knees.

Adamo, yes I can do stainless, but there'd be an additional $50 fee for materials and labor... total cost for a stainless eyeslot barrel would be $100

Toshido, I'm sorry, I don't do maille. (well, I did a little butted maille years ago, but I was never to good or quick with it)
