Hi,

The measurements were swapped, thank you and I have added a side shot. Also, the helm is SCA legal, thought the eyeslot is only 5/8" to meet the AJA reqirements. The helm is all 14GA mild except the top cap is 13GA. But it is all mild steel.

Hi, This is a saltshaker I made a few years back and I am looking to sell it to fix the water pump in my van. I am asking $250 plus the shipping. It is SCA legal, 14GA sides, with a 13 GA dished top. The measurements are: Side to side: 7.5" Front to back: 9.25" Circumference (outside) at e...

Hi, This helm was originally made for the Tudor's, and was to be used specifically for the Hollywood premier celebration 3 years ago. The producer came back wanting a version that had no top cap band, just the top welded to the sides, the stunt crew did not like how the lance tips caught as they sli...

Hi, I blew out my water pump on the van yesterday coming back from an event in El Centro, luckily I was only a mile away from home. But I need to get this fixed ASAP, and I don't want to raid my shipping escrow to do so. This first helm is a Pembridge great helm made to AJA specs, was a little too b...

Starting in an hour of 2 I will start posting the items here by catagory, 3 batches at ...

Sorry, Dorian, I never saw this post on Monday. I've been working very stange hours (I've been in the shop since last nite at 12:30) and sorry to say everything is going slowly, but it is getting done, I'll hook up with you and Tim later today. Now that I have an awesome shop and no time restriction...

ARMOURER ERIC

I've been working some really crazy hours to get my whole que done, and sometimes it seems like I'm not getting anywhere. However, your gauntlets are done, and I'll get with you to wrap up everything probably tomorrow.

Also, it loks like the rearbrace of the arm is getting under the bottom of the lowest spaulder lame and pushing up it, you can mitigate this by crossing the bottom spaulder straps withtthe rearbrcae strap when buckling yourself up.

ARMOURER ERIC

The arms and spaulders look like a set that I make, but I am not sure. I do make my internal leathers a little rigid, but of the corect thickness/materail. I would just manually flex the lames at home in front of the TV. The spaulders in the fist pic you posted look like the cop is not dished enough.

ARMOURER ERIC

Your Grace,

Small chance I may be at the Yuma event merchanting this weekend, will you be there?

ARMOURER ERIC

Hi, Even though the new shop is nowhere close to set up, I will be resuming work about 3PM this afternoon, clients just can't wait, and they have been waiting so I'm not complaining. Essentially, I did know and had planned for a move starting next Monday and expected to have many more orders complet...

ARMOURER ERIC

Hi, Just PM'd you, I'll make a post later today about what's up, I just had to make a big forced move of the shop due to a landlord foreclosure and the new owners tossing me out 2 weeks earlier than we previously agreed, but I do have a new bigger shop and should actually be able to resume working t...

And measurement across the knee cop - inside straight line.

Sadly I don't remember.

Not sure what you mean. At the widest point of the cop it's 7 1/2 inches.

The knees look like mine, and from a small construction detail, I would guess about 2002-03 era.

If you can come up with some better pictures, I'll explore doing it.

Eric

ARMOURER ERIC

Could you give us some guidance as to your location and general head size and what was lacking in the sizing of your previous helms.

ARMOURER ERIC

Guys I really need to sell something here.

ARMOURER ERIC

I'm actually coming off of 5 months where I made minimum, I am kinda bummed, this month was to be my last $400 car payment, and I may not make it now, even missed a bill for the first time since January. I have other selling forums that usually pick up the slack but not now. On ebay the big thing no...

ARMOURER ERIC

Well this has been something of a non starter so barring some interest, we'll probably bring this to an end tommorow. Things seem to have become dangerously slow for about 2 weeks, when I can put an item on ebay at half price as a test, let everyone know, and it's get virtually no visits. We got pr...

ARMOURER ERIC

I have not really sold anything in about 2 weeks, and need some $$ to get throught the next weeks, I have a few new items on ebay in an auction format at a low price point for the year. I have arms, legs, spaulders, and gauntlets. If you have any interest, please checkj it out.

Thanks

ARMOURER ERIC

Hi,

THis is the time of month that I tend to be broke, so I get to do the usual plug for stuff I sell on ebay, really looking for about $200 by later today, so if you see anything you like, go for it.

Be very mindful of counter top height, tailor it to your body if possible.
