ive been pondering exactly this issue.
would even the heat blued chain lose color from chafing?

i feel like a friggin McDavid spokesperson. Last night i got to road test my new shorts. So here i am in a shirt, shorts and elbow pads... love em. I planned on possibly using them without anything else for thigh protection for tourneys, but they made my existing thigh plates fit better i thought a...

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

did we ever get color options on the bear claw shoes?

Heath B fraychef

try allan at the mercenerys tailor.
he does nice work, offers simple shoulder cops, and has done brass for me recently.
his prices are also very fair for the quality you get and his production time is usually pretty quick.

many many years a go i was fighting a young gentleman who i was having social issues with. while fighting i legged him then stepped in and punched his left eye as hard as i could with my basket hilt. it bent his new helm a bit and he took the shot. then promptly complained that "some people&quo...

ive had a blued mild steel helm for about 3 years now and have never had any problems as of yet.
just make sure to do a basic up keep after use and you should be good.

Heath B fraychef

damn sexy set.

Heath B fraychef

WOW!
i seriously wish i had not only the time to do something like that but the skill would be nice as well
thats seriously amazing.
keep the progress pics coming.

the chain is attched to a leather strip which fits very closely to the top of the helm removing that layer and replacing would be very difficult. maybe just below but i dont make chain and cost wise it would be easier to just add to what is already there withought tearing down and re building the wh...

Heath B fraychef

wait until you see the new knees i have coming.

Heath B fraychef

ha! thats funny i was just thinking the same thing. i still have about a dozen plates i cant really see needing more than another dozen. ill measure when i get home from work. maybe tack the ones i have up ther and see how it looks. although i may need to back them with fabric or leather to keep the...

Heath B fraychef

well see now im thinking maybe i should do both. make the dagged cloth underneath and the brass chain. but i think the cloth should contrast a bit more the armor is actually split red on one half and black on the other maybe do the material split opposite, you can see it better here. its not a surco...

Heath B fraychef

really my biggest concern with the rass chain is i usually polish all the brass on m helm before use,
do you think the chain would polish anywhere near the same or would i just have a dull brass ring?

Heath B fraychef

im looking to add a little something to the chainmaille on my helm. my original idea was to add about 3-4 links of brass chain around the base. then i thought maybe some blackleather stitched to the bottom of the chain about1-1 1/2 inches thick. anyone have any other ideas or opinions? im having a h...

if you look at madd matts website you can see pics and they only come in one size.
my camera is currently out of comission.

Heath B fraychef

is anyone interested in a pair of madd matts stainless steel greaves? we have a pair that we bought for a friend as a gift and he simply does not want them. not what he wants for his kit. so ill just offer them up here. they are the same ones as on his web site. i think our friend began to polish on...
