Re: Want to buy cheap helms for SCA in Thailand

My pleasure. I admire your group's passion and want to contribute. Mind you the helmets in question would be very basic but safe SCA legal hats. Do you need any other armor or accessories?

The Swedes also wore such helmets though I believe they pre dated the golden age of viking. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Vendel_era_helmet_(942).jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendel_Period&h=1098&w=719&tbnid=W27Kk16aSkmELM:&zoom=...

I am getting geared up to make some 14 gauge mild helmets in the near future. I will look into making one or two for your group.

Re: Pointed tip riveted on ME helm help

It looks to me that the topper on my Aesir helmet was made by cutting out a pacman shape, forming it into a cone and welding it together. Ground smooth to finish.

Re: Thin helm padding

A linen liner can be made, even with "man sewing". Windrose and several others sell closed cell foam if that's the route you want to go.

Re: Want to buy cheap helms for SCA in Thailand

Yet one more reason to try and visit Thailand one day. There is a lot of info here on making helmets and armor. Halberds is the man to talk to about tools.

I figure between the dishing form, the two sizes of hammer and the dishing donut I can comfortably make mild helmet halves in up to 12 gauge and spangens in 14 gauge stainless. I will experimen...
