ARMOURER ERIC

I've been slowly performing a long overdue detail clean of the shop and I'm auctioning off items that have been just lying around for awhile. First here is my first attempt at brass trimmed armour, a set of 1390's style, Black Prince mild steel legs. They are about 9 years old and have seen no use. ...

Hi,

I can easily cover you on the arms legs and spaulders for a reasonable cost. Plus I ship similar orders to Europe all the time. If you are familiar with eBid, the items are listed there for you to purchase.

It was annoying, I cut my order intake intentionally around 1 December, and then could not get to the shop for about 2 weeks because of the snowstorms. I found out today that the business in the adjacent unit still does not have their DSL line fixed from when a big tree fell and took out the lines. E

Tonight I finished the last overdue mild steel stock order. All that is left in that category are 2 legs due in 2 weeks and an arm/leg spaulder combo going to the UK, due in late February. That means that I only have 5-1 day slots filled in my 5 slot daily schedule over the next 6 weeks Next will be...

For years I've been getting my Formax satin-glo from Jackson LEA in Los Angeles, and authorized Formax distributor, I would get it by the case mostly for the shipping savings, and a case would last me about 8 months, or about 60K in completed product. Well when I went to reorder about a month ago, I...

For years I wasted my money at IMS a large SoCal chain that for most of tye last 5 years charged 92 cents a pound for CR mild steel, then went to 1.10 in June and has not dropped back, but before they did that to me I found a small establishment in ElCajon that in late April was 75 cents for a bette...

Until recently, I liked to brag about the fact that I was the first ever armor business to sell new product on ebay way back in 2000, for years, I never needed to even go out and merchant at events and since 2002, ebay became 60-70% of my income, and at many points a year ago, I was approaching 6 fi...

Hi

I got your message, I think it was accurate. I hope I can go to the shop tomorrow, the weather was clear today, but there was still 30" of snow on the ground at the shop this morning and
I did not want to attempt it, but I will go after I get off work tomorrow at noon.
