it is a good per plate deal, but they are small, not sure how many it would take to make a torso piece but if it takes twice as much as polar bears plates it comes out to being about the same, and you could get alum and save the weight

tim_Belcher

my chest is 50 inches before gambeson

tim_Belcher

not mine and they are kinda small but cheap. not sure if it balances out to be worth it given the size

another that is too small by about 8 inches without a gambeson

tim_Belcher

i have a 17.5 inch neck and i have a large, its somewhat big on me, i would go medium

tim_Belcher

i won't be in the market for bosses for a bit, but when i do your on my list

tim_Belcher

very nice work, welcome back to the archive

tim_Belcher

not sure of your budget but i am very happy with accdntprone's work

tim_Belcher

i have one of his spangens. it was a fast job as someone wanted a helm within 24 hrs. its a little rougher than this one but all in all i could not be more happy with it. (i have yet to be hit in it so i can not attest to its durability, although by all accounts it should be a tank) the only thing i...

tim_Belcher

you gonna stick a pig with the pigsticker

if you do dibs on the bacon

tim_Belcher

accdntprone is back in the helm business i think(could be mistaken) and he does some nice hats as well for little money. once hjalmr gets back up and running his hats are about as rock bottom as they come while not belonging in a post apocalyptic movie. 2nd hand on here i have seen helms go for as l...

rattan arrived yesterday, quick shipping good product

tim_Belcher

fair enough, let me get my thoughts together

tim_Belcher

what would you charge to do a custom inlay
something similar to that but with specific runes,
(can you give me a price if i provided the hardware and if you provided the hardware both)

tim_Belcher

small to medium fighter, definately leaves me out, will pimp this to a few people i know

tim_Belcher

with only a 2 inch dish do you guys think this would be usable at all?

tim_Belcher

thats for a round blade no?
(the extra 20 for a sword to go with the hardware?

tim_Belcher

i have neither the shop space nor the tools for that(i live in a tiny apartment on base and have no real tools to work with. i was hoping to find strips or sheets of brass i could butcher with snips, possibly a beverly sheer and a dremel

tim_Belcher

Thanks for the info

tim_Belcher

mac and such, the armorer is me, i am looking for not necessarily large sheets, just something to make lamellar out of so 2 inch by 4 inch is my largest dimension. i understand that not much is made(ie anything) to a historically accurate spec. i want something that will 1 look good 2 not bend if i ...

tim_Belcher

with that being said can anyone suggest a place that sells either strips(preferred) or sheets of more appropriate bronze at a somewhat decent price(not scales looking for a do it yourself project)

tim_Belcher

only reason i am getting rid of it is i have no where to store it, and am moving to an even smaller place

tim_Belcher

and sent

tim_Belcher

avoid ashcrap baker like the plague, if its a finished piece on ebay your playing roulette (their earlier pieces are decent from what i have heard but their later work went downhill fast)

tim_Belcher

no worries, if you have the thicker stuff just give me the two(if thats ok with you on the sale) and whats your paypal so i can pay you
60 total correct?

if you want to invoice me my email is vladimere_Tepes@yahoo.com

tim_Belcher

is that per stick or for all 4, if its for all 4 and you have near that i will take it, if its per i will have to drop my order down to one

tim_Belcher

http://www.kilianhardware.com/sprinbronwea1.html
think that would work?
or does it look too thin
i am still tryin to find a gauge on it

tim_Belcher

do you have anything approx 2.5 inches thick, and if so what would 4 48 inch sticks be(with shipping to 71459)

tim_Belcher

corset brig, i am way way to fat for that

tim_Belcher

my futhark is a bit rusty, what do the runes mean, and how was the inlay done?

tim_Belcher

last bump in this threads life

tim_Belcher

beautiful. if its still unsold when work actually decides to pay me what i am worth i may have to look you up

tim_Belcher

how you doin accdntprone? getting better i hope

tim_Belcher

bump this, priced to go, 500 plus shipping or trade for a riveted shirt(at least short sleeved)

tim_Belcher

still, a year is a great time for a stick to last
