Beutiful helmet!

Aaron

Paladin,

I think I have everything set up. My shop is portable, so my place or yours or somewhere else for this project?

I can drive down to Rockville and pick you up if you like!

Aaron

Chatted with him recently. He is working on three fencing helms for me.

Aaron

Hi Wade and John,

That was fun! I learned a lot about armouring in that short visit. Nick got tired of walking around on his crutches, but we enjoyed the event.

-Aaron

Aaron

yeah, I see them falling prey to combat archers about 1 second after "lay on". Means they need a little speaker that yells "light!" when hit The Atlantian version of the Drone Marshal (DM) will be an armed Predator drone. Always agree with the DM, or you can see your character sheets lose some cons...

Aaron

That's sort of what Winterfell said!

Aaron

So if the Tuchux are kept away from Pennsic, will it be a Banned of Brothers?

Wow that's a sweet helm.

The surcoat (is that the right word) looks great too! Who made it?

-Aaron

Aaron

My three year old daughter walked in and was advising me how to put the helm together. I need to videotape this and put it on youtube.

-Aaron

Aaron

Wear a hidden GoPro and document?

Aaron

My wife must think the helms are sexy too! She put the helm parts in the bedroom.

Aaron

Hi,

My wife said that two big, heavy boxes arrived today in the mail.

Soon it will be time to start hammering! YEAH!!!!!!!

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

I think I've secure permission to go to this with my son.

Aaron

It's also the joy of making something. And it's the joy of cheating because Hal has already done the hard stuff, but you can still say, "I made this!"

Aaron

Hal let me know that the kit is on the way! Happy armouring dance! And now we will see pictures and video of putting these helms together, and if I can do this ANYBODY can do this! I bought three helms because three times is the charm, and I expect to mess up two of them before I have a helm that wo...

Aaron

I'll ask my better half tonight if we can go. It's $10 each, which is cheap around here!

I might be able to visit, with my better half and kids.

Here is an interesting analysis of crusader arms and armour.

Aaron

It looks like there will be plenty of crusaders on the field soon! And if you don't know our name, just call us all Carlos!

The quench does not have to be cold. Something like bath water will still do the job, and there is much less chance of cracking.

Mac

But do NOT do quench in your wife's bathwater. She won't like it!

Aaron

I think Pennsic would go completely sober and chaste before the Tuchux would leave. The Tuchux are a perk of going to Pennsic. I liked every Tuchux I met.

Aaron

Hi Hal,

I love taking videos and pictures. I'll use my GoPro and my daughter can use the videocamera as Paladin and I work.

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

Hi,

I'm really looking forward to building these helms.

Does someone have documentation on armour and weapons that would go with Carlos' helm?

Aaron

Hi Hal,

I ordered three and they are all going to the same address. Please PM me your mailing address and the total cost (including shipping) and I will have a money order out to you on Monday!

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

OK, now you are just teasing us. I'm SO looking forward to this! Armouring is so fun!

Aaron

That was an amazing exit. May the Lord and his angels cheer Shaitan's arrival. He left this world in style. May he be greeted in Heaven and admired.

Aaron

Hi Paladin,

I was just thinking that could be a good DIY option for the ACL groups. I was not asking to change this order.

Late 12th or early 13th.

That sounds very possible to me.

-Aaron

Aaron

I think Hal likes holding off on payment until right before shipping.

Spring stainless would greatly increase the price, and the effort needed to make helm, however the durability would be astounding.

Aaron

Now, what sort of armour and clothing would go with the Carlos the Crusader helmet?

And...will you end up cutting out the Carlos the Crusader parts in spring stainless for those ACL members who want a helmet that is thick (14 ga overlaped is 7 ga) and protective with a full face?

Aaron

To the question:

Any intrest in my "Carlos the Crusader" helm kit?

I think the answer is:

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron

I think you are prone to pricing low, and that may be no accident. You are an artist, and you tend to like to suffer for art. I remember you built a helmet for me just for picking you up at the airport, feeding you and letting you sleep on the floor when I lived in Lakewood, Washington.

But it could be hand grenade! Don't pull the pin!

Aaron

Exactly!

While it is fun to hold the final product, I think that the reason armourers hire their insanely great skills out for fry-cook wages is that there is an addiction to creating things. The journey is so much fun!

I look forward to your visit!

With thanks,

-Aaron

Aaron

Paladin, Armouring is an addiction. I have not armoured for almost two years. I NEED to armour. I've searched for SOMETHING to make. Even though I have no time to fight right now, I've searched for patterns to make SOMETHING but it always seemed like a waste to make armour that would never be worn. ...
