Varukh

I'm pretty much a fan of every fighting video with Magnus in it. The way he flows with the fight is quite fun to watch.

Varukh

Wow! Sir, Hjalmr told me of that helmet, and i always wondered what it looked like. Pretty cool Helm.

Varukh

Hey Hjalmr check out my FB page and look at my helmet. it doesn't have an ocular on it and is Rus.

Varukh

payment sent for rubber thrusting tip.

Varukh

I'll try to send payment for a thrusting tip when I get off work.

Varukh

Contemplating the sale of a kidney so I can purchase this.

. Can't believe it hasn't been bought yet.

Varukh

PMd about a thrusting tip.

Varukh

Hjalmr for bombproof helms that are very budget friendly, and great for a first helm.

Varukh

Huzzah!

Varukh

I'm glad to see there is someone out there other than me that loves to celebrate the small victories. The path to great success is achieved through small victories...in my opinion.

congrats and best of luck on your future victories.

Varukh

oh...sorry...the hockey girdle is large 34"-36"

Varukh

Hjalmr all the way.

Varukh

kidney belt is already sold fellas. The hockey gear and weapons are still up for grabs though.

those are very well done and look pretty nice. kudos!

Varukh

used a stitching awl and just saddle stitched it straight through the side of the sole. Pushed the awl in at an angle so that the bottom stitch is on the bottom of the shoe. Made sure that the leather covered all of the sole so that none of the white on the converse sole is showing. Just a heads up ...

Varukh

maybe slightly off topic but what tools do you absolutely have to have to make those gaunts? I have wanted to make a pair for a while but i have absolutely no idea what to start with.

Varukh

just curious...how long is master knuts short aventail and long aventail?

Ivan this quote is fantastic.

and awesome chin strap pattern. next time i strap a helm i will definitely use that pattern.

Varukh

that is one of my dream helmets...but i can't afford it:(
absolutely beautiful helmet. best of luck on your sale.

Varukh

I think I message you on facebook if you dont have it I will try to remeasure and send it to you when I get home. Im out of town if you have my number I would like to see a pictue of the prototype if you can text it to me.

Varukh

Well I had to give mine to a noob when I got my other helm. That and I think mine was too small for him.
You ever get a min to work on those knee cops and cup hilts give me a buzz and I'll get you another pair of those gaunts busted out. You want them black like the last pair?

Varukh

It takes very minimal cleanup to get his helms looking nice. A little elbow grease goes a long way when you are on a cheap budget.

Varukh

WHAT! Lee ordered another helmet! With all the helmets he is ordering from you, you will be able to retire in a year or two.

Varukh

check with Hjalmr here on the AA. He can probably bust one of those out for a low cost.

Varukh

beginner mail making mistake. first bit of mail i made. didn't research how to do it, just started doing it and ended up with that hang. Oh well, part of the learning process.

"clap, clap, clap, clap" I'm drooling over my keyboard.

Varukh

kinda goes with footwork but, fighting in a straight line...ie not moving side to side at all.

also fighting with your elbow sticking out instead of back where your opponent can't whack it.

Varukh

Thank you!

Varukh
