He sure does.
But his sword fingers look weird.

Halberds

That's cool, sort of like 19C bayonet frog attachment.

There is nothing wrong with cast iron dishing forms. I have all the cast ductile steel dishes from Ebay. They are designed to be clamped in a big vice. Yes, they take a shit load of clean up to make em shine. And yes, they were half falling out of the boxes when they got here. I gave a metal poundin...

When the big oven is opened the radiation is very evident.
It burns things at a distance.

I used to wear a silver suit with thick green face shields to do that.
The gloves were these big ass thick yellow fire proof things.
I thought I was on the sun.

Y'all be safe out there... now hear.

A long time Member PM'ed me some air power hammer questions. I thought I would share our thoughts. I can not provide turn key pneumatic parts and supplies for your build air hammer. Every design is unique. Sort of like sabatons. (snip) I wish you the best. Be careful not to order too much stuff. I h...

Halberds

Mr. Thompsonhm, These tools are ready for shipment. Corry.jpg I think that's my last big mushroom, they are more trouble than they are worth. Regretfully, the multi sabaton tool had to increased in price also. You got in under the wire. ;-) Best of luck with your metal pounding. Hal PS: Bigfredb I a...

Halberds

Huzzah! I love it when a plan comes together.

Halberds

Uber cool, jolly well done.
Thanks for the vids.

Halberds

Corey, Your sabaton tool and 6" mushroom are started.
I had to finish up Alouk's first.

Alouk, I have your tools ready at this time.
I added the rivet divot and rivet knock out hole to the bouge plate.
The tool holder optional.

I tried Dark Souls but it was too creepy like Dante's Inferno. I also like the open lands like Red Dead Redemption. I am a fan of Dragon Age and eagerly waiting the Inquisition. November the 11th. Perhaps like Skyrim, it can be first person or third person with a push on the thumb button. I prefer 3...

Halberds

Yep... it is a cool helm for sure.
I see some helms on Skyrim I would like to make.

Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the good works.

Diglach Mac Cein wrote:How much would the multi-tool pictured be?

That's really cool.

It does the job of a raising stake, bouge plate, bending stake, edge rolling and planishing.
Works great for smaller work areas.
The next one will have a rivet divot built into the top plate.
175.00 and the tool holder is 70.00.

John S, I do not have a lathe anymore as Charlie crashed my 6" Atlas into the chuck and stripped the feed gear. Now you know why I think apprentices are more trouble than they are worth. :sad: Some tools recently sent to an armourer: SabatonToolandLloypop.jpg I made these sabatons on tools similar t...

Kerberus, I am glad you got your hammers, I always worry about my babies traveling alone. ______________________________________________________________________ Wayne27i, I have your tools ready at this time, see PM for info. I have to admit... These are the best tools for starting out. I substitute...

Halberds

That is a nice Crusader helm.
Best of luck on your sale.

Halberds

I am sorry I can not help, as I have never done that before. But I did sleep in the Holiday Inn last night. :wink: It appears to be a stressed fatigue fracture. Like bending a piece of metal back and forth again and again. I see in the pics, tool marks on the far outside perimeter. Does one work it ...

Halberds

Thanks for the ideas, I will gladly look at your designs.
Several of my tools were designed by members and professionals.

I can fabricate a long reach back up anvil for rivet setting that fits the tool holder.
How long do you think the arm should be?

Hal

Halberds

One can do a lot of metal pounding on an anvil like that.
All it needs is a hardy hole and a ball stake.

Thanks for the pics of the historical anvil.

No payment until they are finished and ready to ship.
Tell me what you need and when you need them.
Paypal is fine but a USPS money order will also work.

Welcome To the archive Osric the Odd,

You insight is appreciated.
We love making things and history here.
Also... we never turn down pics of how it's made.

Hal

Halberds

How about a hammer or tool set for hammering dents out of a helm? We have some newbie helms that can use that... I have made these before to reach down in a helm and remove dents. It works well with a flat piece of steel used as a back up plate. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/halberds/MaceTo...

That is a cool helm, I tried to click and rotate the pic like my video game.
It is awesome and unique.
Best of luck on your sale.

I will swap him a tool holder and planishing ball stake.

Come on guys ya know another helm won't hurt.
And for only $100... which is not only a low price... it's a steal!

Halberds

I do not have any in stock tools. Takes me about a week to fill an order. No payment until they are finished and ready to ship. If you like, I will build you a dishing ball hammer, as shown in the pic below. It works great on spangen panels, spaulders, knees, elbows and helm half's. Hal http://forum...

Halberds

Cool... it has elements of the frog mouth jousting helm.
Thanks for sharing.

It is a sweet pic, thanks for sharing.

That is some dang nice wiggle work.
For something so simple, it produces quite striking results.

Welcome new member.

I really enjoyed the Milanese mid 15th. century gauntlets booklet.
I would make the pattern smaller though.

Hal

Halberds

I agree with Losthelm about the pattern first. I make a poster board face plate off the existing steel face plate. Fold it on the center line and pattern one side. A series of equally spaced lines help to keep everything neat. Center punch the pattern while folded to transfer to the other side then ...
