Re: The Physics of Protection Question

My Aesir helmet with aventail weighs about 13 pounds if memory serves. I use it for SCA combat and it has been the helmet I've worn most. My first helmet was a tank but didn't fit properly. I believe my current helmets mass has come in quite handy on several occasions. Just my 2 cents.

Re: FS Ready to ship Low Profile Leather Bazis

This is a good deal. I have a pair of regular bazubands I bought from Draven years ago and they're still serving me well!

Re: FS stainless round top "aventail ready"

Thank you! To be honest I'm quite surprised it hasn't sold yet. It will be the last one I make at this price point for a while, at least in stainless. I plan on making larger helmets when I get my beverly shear up and running! :D

Re: Fighting after Fifty

44 and having a blast. I authorized at 40 and plan to fight well past 50. I can already tell that I have lost a step since my late 20s, early 30s but I feel good.

Re: FS stainless round top "aventail ready"

Thanks. I got a lot of input lately regarding pricing. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't sold but I'm sure someone will see it and have to have it. I'm going to concentrate on entry level helmets since that seems to be whats in demand.

Re: FS stainless round top "aventail ready"

Thanks, Murnig. I think it's due in part to the size. I do plan on making larger mild steel helmets at a similar price point in the future.

Re: Coppergate project

I have both front panels cleco'd in place and cardboard templates made for the cheeks. I found a pair of small brass or brass plated hinges that will work for the look. Once it's all mocked up I will post pics tonight or tomorrow.

Neesayer, keep your eyes open for similar helmets from me in the future. Bjorn, thanks for the kind words. Sadly this would work best for someone with a 22 or 22.25 inch brow.

Re: Looking for a viking style helm

Three times that for an order in limbo!? That sucks. 400 should get you a decent mild steel hat, I imagine. What size is your melon? Are you looking for an occular style helmet?

Re: FS stainless round top "aventail ready"

Thanks! The idea was to make something that looked smart enough to take the field and when the owner got enough scratch together they could take it to the next level with some chainmail. :D
