Here's a green woolen hood I just finished. It's machine sewn from 100% wool that's been prewashed and shrunk. The liripipe is pieced. All interior seams have been finished. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/garb%20pics/Hoods/Green%20wool%20hood%201%20resize.jpg http://home.armourarchiv...

Drop me a line when you have another in the 32oz range please... especially if it has a flat bottom so I can set it on a table without it rolling over.

Danke,
Sean

I'll start assembling one today (pre-cut blanks are awesome that way!).

Yours, then. You can PayPal me at m_kreitzer@yahoo.com, or I can email you an invoice that'll let you use a credit/debit card. Thanks!

Thorgrimr

still have the 20 oz available. C'mon, folks- Mikey needs to pay the electric bill!

These are documented in the 14th through 17th centuries.

It's yours. You can PayPal me or I can send you an invoice that will let you use a credit or debit card. Thanks!

Here are a couple costrels I just finished. They are hand sewn with linen thread from vegetable tanned leather and sealed on the inside with a mixture of pine pitch and wax, and sealed outside with wax. The stopper is carved from cherry and sealed with wax. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thor...

Thorgrimr

You're probably right. Hmmmm...

Thorgrimr

Yours if you want 'em.

Thorgrimr

Ahhh, if I only had more of this fabric- or a couple more people wanted hats of the same color so I could order some wool...

Thorgrimr

Here are a couple hats I made recently- a four panel and a six panel Viking style hat. The fabric is a suiting weight 70% wool 30% man-made (not sure what). I made 'em for my 24 inch melon, but they're a little bit...snug. They're machine sewn. They'll ship immediately. http://home.armourarchive.org...

Thorgrimr

Any bid at all? this thing has to go...

Here's a dress I made for my future ex-wife. She's never worn it, and (for obvious reasons) she never WILL. I think it's one of the McCall's patterns (don't remember which one) and would make a great starter dress or loaner garb. Three caveats, though- first, I think it's a poly-cotton blend fabric,...

Thorgrimr

I've always loved your stuff. I use it alot n the pouches I make/sell. Great stuff as always!

Thorgrimr

Looks good! I tried using wood forms to form my side pieces, but found that (for me) it works better to form the body, then use the dried, fairly stiff body to form the sides. Wooden forms didn't give me consistent results.

Thorgrimr

DAMN! I saw this too late- I'd have won this one.

Thorgrimr

And I normally won't either- I just needed some cash!

Thorgrimr

I would rinse it out with copious amounts of water immediately after use.

Thorgrimr

I wouldn't put anything hot in it, but it should do ok for beer and the like.

Thorgrimr

Sure is- PM sent.

Bottel sold pending funds.

However, I've decided to offer the same style bottel at the same price to the first two others to commission one today only- $35 plus shipping. Just respond to this thread and send me a PM.

Thanks!

Thorgrimr

Sebastian K PM'd me first- I'll put you second on the list.

Or, you could commission one... I'll even give you the same price on it.

Thorgrimr

How 'Bout $35 plus shipping- today only!

Thorgrimr

Here's a 36 oz bottel for sale. Sealed inside with pitch and outside with wax, with a cherry stopper. $45 plus shipping.

I gladly take PayPal at:
m_kreitzer@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Thorgrimr

Sorry- I'm not looking for any of that right now.

Thorgrimr

No gpu here- I've got a 16" direct impingement upper with a chromed barell from M&A parts.

Here's my AR build thread, if you haven't seen it:

If I can free up the cash before the sale ends I'll get this:
http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-Bolt-Carrier-Group-MPI-Auto-M16-p/bcm%20bolt%20carrier%20group%20auto%20mp.htm

Otherwise I'll get a LMT carrier and bolt.

Thorgrimr

No prob- I figured that's what it was. I ain't offended or nothin'. Getting the stuff isn't a problem- I just like to horsetrade a bit- it's fun! This rifle isn't really for work (unless I have to shoot someone and it's all I have in reach- but that's what my Glock 23 is for). I don't use a firearm ...

Thorgrimr

I know where to get stuff- I'm just seeing if anyone has some stuff they aren't using collecting dust- like I do

That way we both win.

Thorgrimr

I could possibly be persuaded to do some other leatherwork...

Thorgrimr

Bueller?

Thorgrimr

I need some parts for my AR build- and I KNOW some of you have parts sitting around in a box, all lonely and collecting dust! I need: Magazines Rear iron sight (for a flat top) Charging handle I have in the works: two 24 oz costrels ($45 each) six 40 oz costrels ($55 each) Any interest?

Thorgrimr

Thanks! I hope it serves you long and well.

The bottel needs sealed (hopefully over the next day or so) and I plan to ship by Monday.

Thorgrimr

Both costrels have shipped. The bottel is cut, glued, and edged. I plan to make the holes, sew, and shape it this weekend.

Thorgrimr

They're 24 oz costrels like the one in the first post in this thread:
