After some quick math and thinking that I have been charging for my time I was shocked. I've been basically making minimum wage. The volume of stuff I'm making is increasing so that will change eventually but for the time being I enjoy making stuff. Bespoke items with lots of pretty will always cost...

Sevastian

To the top!

I will take it if the sale falls through. Great loaner gear for the Barony.

Sevastian

It's beautiful, Jan. What size head would this best fit?

Sevastian

Passed this on. Aesir is tops. That is all.

Sevastian

My hammers just gave me a bad look. Wow!

Sevastian

A friend painted mine. Not sure how accurate it may be.

Sevastian

I worded that wrong. I meant to say take the field for the first time looking sharp. Most kits are built over time. Those are some very impressive kits, indeed.

I think the salient point of SCA heavy combat has been missed by the O.P. It is a sporterized version of armored combat. I started out in SCA heavy rapier and now participate in both armored and rapier combat. I once helped a Don make an introduction video for grappling as a historical study. Grappl...

Money sent!

Sevastian

Either would work but it's not always easy to determine size.

My search fu is weak. I am looking for a helmet to convert for SCA heavy rapier and possibly cut and thrust. It would need to be big enough for a 23-24 inch head with minimal padding-I think it's still only 1/4" closed cell foam or equivalent? I have perf plate and can cut and weld if need be. Any h...

Come this fall I may have room for a small workbench. It'd have to be modular and multi purpose though since space is limited. Even I don't go all Sevastian and bend metal on the steps when it's 20 below.

Sevastian

Master Lewelyn, I may be hitting you up for a form. I'm using a breastplate form followed by a fairly deep one for helm halves. I really think I need an "in between" dish. Sorry for the thread hijack.

Sevastian

Even used this is cheap for a Knotwolf

Hope you don't mind me posting a pic. It's too pretty not to.

Sevastian

Your Grace, might you have any welded stainless 9mm long aventails in stock? I need one to finish a commission for a friend.

Sevastian

I've been (carefully ) using the gap between the treads on my front steps for this. I really need a shop space.

Sevastian

Not to discourage but I'd wait til after she tries it a few times in loaner gear before you think about new a helmet.

Sevastian

CLANG hooked me up!

Sevastian

That is a smokin' deal!

Sevastian

Basic measurements would be browline circumference. Long or short neck. Distance of pupil to chin. Ear to ear width and nose to back of head.

Sevastian

Nice.

Sevastian

Weekend bump!

Sevastian

Pitbull armoury sells patterns for such.

Sevastian

What size is your head. What is the maximum you're willing to spend? Where are you located?

Sevastian

Not yet.

Sevastian

I'll check SBS Monday for giggles but it looks like Mark is gonna hook me up.

Sevastian

We'll see. I needed some other stuff from him anyway. I'm told SBS has solid brass kickplates but I shudder to think how much they'd want for them.

Sevastian

It looks like the Russian double headed eagle. I like it!

White wine vinegar for a couple hours in the sun and some love with a scrubby. The hot roll scale just wiped off. Some hot water in the sink then paper towel dryed followed immediately by the cold blue. Interior got primer followed by flat black.

Sevastian

Yeah. Cold.

Sevastian

I am pickling a mild helmet top to remove scale. I plan on applying gun blue immediately. How should I rinse the metal after it's pickled to prevent flash rust? Water and immediately dry?

Sevastian

What might shipping be to zip 99507?
