I think the one that rotates is a B-10. Does the female anvil look like the size of a quarter, about 3/8" thick? Also, you mentioned you were punching heavy steel. You probably already know, but for those that don't, be sure to get a larger anvil (female) than the punch. Use the larger for heav...

Thanks fellows, I appreciate the comments. By the way, I did forget to mention that I have some of Torvaldr's elbows we have been using on some of our leather 3/4 arms as well.

We have had many questions on the construction of our gear so I thought I would try to shed some light on our gear. 1. All leather used for our gear is either a vegetable tanned saddle skirting from 12-15 ounce, OR an expensive bridle leather that is 12-14 ounce. We like the bridle leather for it's ...

Hello InsaneIrish, It might have been caught in the computer swap over. I broke down and purchased a new computer and was moving over the older emails to the new, between Windows 7 Office and XP. I will take a look and see if I can find it. Please send again just in case or send me a PM and I will g...

Your armor is ready to ship Foxman. I see that you mentioned a vacation. When would you like me to ship out?

I think I took a set of stainless soup cans in on trade. I think they are attached to some padded chausses, but can be removed easily. What sort of gorget are you looking for? Dog collar style, or what?

Hello, and welcome to the Archive.

What sort of stuff are you looking for, leather or steel? I have bits and pieces of arms and spaulders that could be let go a little cheaper, or we could fix you up with leather and steel. Here is our site: www.vikingleathercrafts.com

Have a good one.

I have a machine that Torvaldr would like to have only it is a bit heavy and largish. It is around 4'x2.5'x2.5' and weighs about 100-125 lbs. If anyone will be coming close to Kingsport, TN or Bristol TN/VA, I could meet them somewhere close to the interstate as you travel north in or around Bristol...

Okay, the size 11's just sold, someone saw the post I guess. The only size 11 I have is a 2 Toggle welted (nailed) sole. I have pulled them off the web. If you want them, send me an email.

We have only one size 11 turnshoe in the house, it is a natural colored pair. Of course you could dye them to whatever you wished, or when you put a protectorant on them, they darken a bit. BUT, beware, the turnshoes are notoriously narrow in the instep. If you have a wide foot, the turnshoes will n...

I have several rolls of wheat pennies, but the shipping will cost about as much as the coins are worth. You should be able to find rolls of wheat cents at any local flea market for around $3-4 per roll of common dates. If you are wanting collector coins, the price goes as high as you would like to p...

You are most welcome Torvaldr. We craftsmen are a close knit family it seems. Although I have never met face to face with many of the members of the archive, just reading and seeing the dealings lets us know what sort of folks we are dealing with. I like trading and dealing with the armorers here, a...

We just wanted to say thank you to all of your who have served or are still serving in our military on this 4th of July. Thank you to all of you for the sacrifices that you have made or are still making. Whether is was lying in a ditch, on or in the hot desert, or just being away from your family an...

In our area, it seems that most anvils go for $1.00 per pound. This of course is one with squared ( not perfect mind you) edges and a hardy hole. You can find some that have a broken hardy hole or a ferrier's anvil with rounded edges for much less. Just depends on what you will be using it for as to...

I think I will take one as well.

Sounds great Ursor, glad you are happy with the shoes. Westland does make a good shoe. Can't seem to raise him though these days. We have a couple hundred pairs left of the various shoes and once these are gone, if we can't get in touch with him, we may have to move to another vendor.

I will call dibs on the Lorica. It will give another suit for the boy scout troop to mess with when we are doing leather merit badges.

MalkomeKarre, We are in Kingsport, about an hour and a half from Knoxville, Shire of Nant-Y-Derwyddon.

Greetings Graf Hans,

What sort of lengths and widths were you looking for in the blanks?

Thanks Isabella. Just give me a shout anytime. But looking at your plaque belts, you sure do dress up a leather belt, they are awesome.

I would have to disagree with the remark about leather rotting. If you keep the leather maintained, it will last for years. It is a skin and has to have the moisture replenished. Take care of the armor and it will take care of you. Now on the other hand, if you sweat in it, toss it in an armor bag i...
