Have you made armour yourself?

Armour actually looks EASY to make, but it's really rather hard to make.

I don't know about his prices, but I am willing to bet they are very reasonable.

Howdy, ( BDHA = Beat Dead Horse Again. I think this subject needs to get revisited now and then... ) What should armourers charge for armour? Frankly EVERYONE'S rates are really, really low. That doesn't mean I like a good price break...but I fear it is not a living wage. What would a living wage be...

Yes they were made from strips of steel.

The shear the autoshop had only cut in a linear fashion. They are perfectly straight.

In ten years or so when I redo the suit (I have to armour my kids first) I'll cureve the lames.

Good call!
