I'll take 200.00 each + actual shipping.

The slat back welded top helm is 9-1/2 front to back and 7" side to side.

Hal

Halberds

That one is 9" front to back and 8" side to side.
It was an old left over from when I was developing helm kits.
I added the butted maile for grins.

I still have this one on the shelf.

Halberds

I have this old thing I could take the drape off and scrub the rust.

Is it of any help?

Hal

Halberds

Thank you Gaston de Clermont. That means a lot to me, coming from an artisan such as yourself. We will not know the tools worth until Pit Bull gives it a test run. I rarely make tools with out using them myself. However, this tool is a coin toss. I offered a money back if he ain’t happy, and he can ...

Halberds

This is why I like this forum.

Halberds

What a wonderful helm, thanks for all the progress pics and sharing with us.

Hal

Halberds

Huzzah, best of luck on your quest.
The clients will give better reviews if one stays in touch.

Hal

(PS: Off topic)
Does anyone else read his post in a russian accent?

Halberds

I like it… It looks very well made and functional.
You are right, with the red undergarment it would be sexy.

Best of luck on your quest.

Hal

Halberds

Thank you Corey.

Feed back is appreciated, whether it is good bad or ugly.
I strive to improve and offer useful tools to our trade.

Hal

Halberds

You sure make nice gaunts.

Thanks for sharing.

Kerr,

Your tools shipped out today.
Let me know if they arrive safe and sound.
I always worry about my babies when they have to travel so far away from home by themselves.

Hal

Halberds

PM's sent to Stallari and Sean Powell.

Who would of thought... much intrest in Pit Bull's design.

Hal

Halberds

LOL it does look like a Hershey's kiss.

How big around is it?

Hal

Halberds

I used clean dry sandblast sand.

Halberds

The sand trick works for me.
I plasma torch a hole, fill then weld it shut.

Be sure to vibrate a good long time as the sand will settle.
Do not weld the hole until the sand stops settling.

It works great for pipe cap stakes to take the ring out.

Halberds! how much for one with a longer and maybe offset stake bar? How much of an offset and how tall each leg? _________________________________________________________________________ You know Cap'n it is sort of like art work, the lines flow and it has a certain design element. Speaking of art...

Halberds

It is 12:14 Texas time and the auction goes to Kerr for $225.00USD.
I shall PM you with the details.

Thank you all for your support.

Hal

Halberds

I have to agree if it is free.

It's just that mass is beneficial.

Halberds

Thank you for your bids. I think the booklet is only $5.00. I ruined mine by cutting the pattern out. :wink: Shipping: 18 pounds 8 ounces International Services Flat Rate Box to Canada Priority Mail® International Medium Flat Rate Box Maximum weight 20 pounds. 6 - 10 business days $40.95 USA: Priori...

Halberds

That is the old stand by planishing stake.
May I suggest you use solid bar stock instead of box tubing for the shank.
Thanks for the pic.

Hal

Halberds

Of course elbows.

I made it from industrial metal components with welding and grinding.

Hal

Halberds

Pit Bull asked me to build an acorn stake. He gave me carte blanche on the design, materials and methods of construction. I was not sure which end of the acorn to build so I made the bottom pointed part. We shall see if he approves or not. Here it is shown with my standard 1” tool holder: PitBullAco...

Halberds

Thank you for your bid.
You should get this tool set at a bargain.

Do you have Talbots Milanese Gauntlet booklet?

Auction ends Mon Mar 18 at 12:00 midnight Texas time.

Halberds

This is the new chisel tool I will include in this tool kit auction. It is made from an old jackhammer bit and 1" square bar stock to fit the tool holder. This tool is used after the tombstone stake starts the roll. Place the started roll over this chisel stake and hammer it past 90° It is best to d...

Halberds

Thank you for your bids.

I will build and add a chisel stake to the kit.
It is used after the tombstone starts the cuff roll.

Hal

Halberds

Thanks for the great links Tom.
That pointed raising elbow stake was cool, gives one ideas, Yes?
Looks like I will have to make a chisel stake to go with the gaunt tools, to help close the roll.

Did you grind on behemoth, and did it arrive safe?

Hal

Halberds

Very cool.
Are your thumbs and fingers cramping?
Thanks for the sneak peek.

We would like a pic of your tools sometime.

Halberds

That is the trouble with calling dibs.
It puts off others.
I think the first one with the payment takes it home.

Halberds

Works for me and I do not use chrome.

Cool hammer, thanks for the vid.

Hal

Halberds

I sent some tools to Oz and it took over 3 months by air.
Must of been by hot air baloon, the long way around.

Meanwhile… The Tuchux barbarian slithers away in the dark of night. The King is furious over his pregnant unwed daughters condition. The distracted king is plotted against by enemies of the realm. The kingdom is falling into a state of disarray. A sad state of affairs… dark times indeed my friends. ...

Halberds

You did a fine job, it looks just like the one on our pattern archive.

These Patterns are free to all with the understanding that credit should be given to the owners.

I think a tip of the hat is due.

Hal

Halberds

Yes the back piece was made in two pieces welded. My wife sewed the leather trim. :wink: I used the small Roper punch for the holes in the metal. A sharp awl was used to punch the holes in the leather. Here is another way to do the back: http://home.armourarchive.org/members/halberds/RSCA5.jpg This ...

Halberds

You got more tools than the law will allow.

Thanks for the pics.

Can you tell us about the jenny?
