According to the USPS, the helmet will be in my hands on Thursday and shipped next Wednesday with FedEx Great Rates.

Aaron

Ok 28 plates that are 2 by 9 and a breast and back for a 40 waist>? Did you want the breast and back unassembled also>? 3 by 11 would be better. And ship unassembled please! The update above is what we already discussed successfully by PM, but I want the Fans of Pitbull to remain happy and informed...

Aaron

The helmet is on its way to me in Silicon Valley by USPS. Then I send it FEDEX to Cody.

Aaron

Yep!

Breast and back with 28 small rectangles for tassets. No pauldrons.

I will PayPal you ASAP!

How much do I owe you including shipping?

Yeah! I know!

I saw what Pitbull was doing and it's faster, less expensive, better looking, lighter and less labor intensive than what I was planning.

Aaron

Ironbadger cut out vambraces, elbows and shins for me! And he sent them to me! They are beautiful and flat.....soon I will see if I can crudely shape steel again!

Aaron

Friendly bump!

Aaron

I have landed in Idaho Falls and in November I plan on fighting using a spear in the SCA. PM me your PayPal address or physical address and I will send the money you need for a okegawa do front and back.

Aaron

Oh, that is beautiful!

Aaron

Ice Falcon has some nice kydex gauntlets he can ship immediately.

Aaron

Oh my that is sexy!

Aaron

AHA! John has a SOLUTION! I canceled the FedEx shipment from John to Cody. John will mail the helm to my parent's house in California and THEN I will walk the helmet to one of the many, many, many FedEx locations in the Silicon Valley and ship it Great Rates from THERE! That'll save us some money. C...

Aaron

$425 minus $350 for shipping is....well, it's almost something Jane from Firefly could comment on.

I'm heading out for a long walk to think for a bit. Ouch this hurt but it's for a good cause. I'm like Eek the Cat....

Aaron

OK, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that I have set it up to ship the helm on FedEx. John will ship the helm in the morning. The bad news is that because of obscure reasons....yes I was on the phone with FedEx....as we filled out forms....I'm NEVER doing this again.....the cost jum...

Aaron

I would like to know too for both personal and professional reasons.

Aaron

We are set up to ship on Wednesday, 28SEP16 .

Aaron

The bid to FedEx Great Rates is in. Thank you for requesting a FedEx Great Rates (http://www.fedex.com/us/greatrates/index.html) quote. Your request was received on 09/21/2016 05:11 AM.

Aaron

I'm almost done securing the shipping. But I will need both John and Cody's phone numbers to finish the shipping paperwork. The helm will leave John's place on 23SEP16 and arrive in Cody's hands on 30SEP16 as it stands right now.

Aaron

Good!

Now I need to arrange shipment.

Aaron

Good work!

Now I need to contact FedEx.

How much does the box with the helm weigh? I will need the dimensions of the box too.

Aaron

Thinking ahead is good! I like thinking!

Aaron

We are ready to ship? That is great. The plan is that I use my FedEx account to take care of the money end and send you the paperwork, PDF and other documents. Then I send you the rest of the money to pay for your time working on this. Do you have a boxed weight? I close out my PO Box in 11 days so ...

Aaron

Progress with two P's!!!!!

Aaron

I will write you an email with the details on the lames. But they are really just flat, unshaped rectangles. They are so simple that it is confusing to an armourer who knows no part of the human anatomy is really flat. 40 inch around my waist at my belly button when I inflate as much air as possible...

Aaron

Any new progress pictures?

This donated money is sitting at PayPal waiting, and you know how I get when I have an obligation that I can't finish immediately. Any good news?

Aaron

When I inhale all the way, my pecs and I can't fit that suit as it is right now. :( I have a 45 inch chest. Can you make a front and back like that for a 45 inch chest, and just cut out 28 lames that are 2 inches by 9 inches so I can put the skirt on the armour myself? That way I can do the shop mon...

Aaron

Bought the padded mantles and legs. They will be used. Good looking too!

Aaron

Friendly bump!

Aaron

If what you show there fits a "standard" person, it will fit me. I'm very generic. You could sell exactly what you have in the picture and I'll buy it! I'd like a back too please, and lames that I could attach or you attach. Either or!

Good work!

Aaron

Howdy Pitbull, That's PERFECTLY what I was looking for! Thanks! Can you make the back in the same style please? And add some hanging lames (like Japanese armour....) for me? How much money do you want, when do you want the money, and can you ship the armour before November please? Oh, and grind down...

Aaron

Or vice versa!

Aaron

Good Morning, Columb the fellow Lochacian living near (at least the same continent) Cody donated $50! Yes, I've "closed" the donations but I'm also not turning anybody away who has a burning desire to help. I appreciate the help! THANK YOU COLUMB THE LOCHACIAN!!! :twisted: Currently our finances for...

Aaron

Good Morning!

We have ANOTHER donation of $50 from Columb, who is a fellow Lochacian who wants this kid to get his helmet!

I'll update the stats soon!
