Greetings Members, Any armouring tools you think I should be getting ready for the spring season? I bought materials, supplies and expendables from my last sales profit and I'm ready to go. The weather has warmed up and I'm getting tired of cabin fever. I finished all my video games and the wife is ...

Looks like something off a ship, or the weight on the crane hook.

Halberds

Looks very nice. I like it.

I twisted my wire (two strands) with the electric drill.

I also used the little hole as you suggested.

I have used the dumb bells also with no problem, they are quite hard.

Halberds

Holey shit! when it rains it pours.
Did you get a big ol' shot of penicillin in the ass?
Take care of yourself and get well soon.

Halberds

My friend is looking for a chefs knife.

Halberds

Well this auction went quite well. I was going to ask $200 for that armouring multi tool anyway. However... Mastadonn already has one of my pipe stakes, so I substituted a medium planishing ball stake for the bonus tool. It works good for helms, spaulders, knees and elbows. We aim to please. Mastado...

Halberds

Thanks for the pics I appreciate patinas.
I think it gives the armour character.

I like to use the Japanese Brown and Magic Black from Sculpt Nouveau.
A little scotch bright and oil can age it quite well.

Best of luck on your quest.

Hal.

Halberds

You are correct. I was at a flea market and was looking at steel balls about 3-3/4" in diameter. They were quite pricy as I recall. The proprietor told me they were civil war cannon balls. I said no their not, as they were oval due to obvious ball mill wear and would never work in a cannon. He insis...

Halberds

I think the hitch balls will work just fine.
You should be good to go with access to a lathe.
My first stake was machined from solid 6" diameter bar stock with a 3.75 radius.

Halberds

SOLD

Mastadonn wins the auction.
I will PM you tomorrow with the details.

I would like to thank all of you for your generous bids and continued support.

This auction is concluded.

Thank you very much.

Hal

Halberds

Going twice....

Halberds

OK, we have Mastadonn's highest bid of 210 + shipping, this auction ends tonight.

Going once.....

Halberds

Yes this pipe stake is also included in this auction.

They both will fit in the large flat rate box.

It was the tool holder that was not included.

Thank you.

Hal

Halberds

Just a reminder... this auction ends this Sunday night.

Thank you all for your design support and bids for this bacon blessed one of a kind.

Hal

Halberds

I know what you mean, one box tools for mailing was left in the back of the SUV.
I thought my wife mailed it and she thought I mailed it.
A royal SNAFU by anyone's count.

No excuse Sir.

Hal

Halberds

Cool tools, my first tools had sch. 40 black iron pipe and flanges for the pedestals. Perhaps your international clients could include their own pipes to cut down on shipping. Then the flanges and mushroom heads would fit in the medium flat rate box. Just a thought. I wonder if your no show client i...

Halberds

Hal

Halberds

Oh that is cooler than hell, thanks for the pic.

Halberds

Hello Members, I have a new tool I developed and need money to buy more materials. This auction is for 7 days and the highest bidder at the close takes it home. The tool holder is not included in this auction. Bids in this thread only please. Void where prohibited by law. Armouring Tool and Pipe Sta...

Halberds

I was thinking a final price of $200.00. I will auction this one off on the classifieds just to see what the market will bring. I will toss in the pipe stake shown to sweeten the deal. Check over on the classifieds for the auction it started at $100.00. http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtop...

Halberds

Oh now I get it.

Halberds

Funny you should mention the triangular dishing form for spangen panels.
I have been asked in the past to make one of those. Perhaps it is time.

Hal

Halberds

Well this prototype is finished... it worked for me. I could do anticlistic shaping, raising, planishing, bouging, edge rolling, creasing and rivets. The last test was the bacon. :wink: http://home.armourarchive.org/members/halberds/BaconTool.jpg Never got around to the bottle opener, as my beer had...

Halberds

Thank you for the wonderful pics, they look fantastic.
My favorite is "This Guy" also.

Jolly well done.

Hal

Halberds

Oh thank you, I for one do not like loose ends.
As you all know... I love it when a plan comes together.

This situation is resolved.

At your service.

Hal

Halberds

I like it too and the visor grill is a neat idea.

Halberds

Thanks for the pics, I like your new Joker suit.
Jolly well done.

And God willing.... I will be that idiot.

I guess that will have to go on the off topics.

Hal

Halberds

Yes, one could cook bacon and eggs in the Texas summer I am sure. However at this time, I am trying to test an anticlistic helm back plate. Bend the back plate to shape over a pipe stake. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/halberds/BentDick1.JPG Use the raising hammer to start the curve. http://h...

Halberds

Oh crap... I have my first how to make a spangen helm on there.
I do not know how to pull content.
Could JT do it and put it here?

Hal

Halberds

Yes riveted mail, jolly well done.
Thanks for the pic.

Halberds

LOL.... a bottle opener you guys slay me.

It has warmed up in Texas and I can get back to work.
