I have a couple helms in stock and ready to go. If you send me the measurement around your entire head at forhead level -I'll send you what I have that should fit you with padding.

Otherwise I have a 12 weeks wait at the moment.

Re: Looking for brass!

cheapest way I've found to get brass sheet is to buy a brass door kickplate. They're usually about 36" x 10" give or take. You do have to be careful though... often it is only brass plated aluminum or steel. You have to examine the package closely. The right ones will say "solid bras...

I geuss I should just say: I've tried the obvious places like ebay, local steel shops, hardware stores, scrap/junk yards, etc. It would appear that I am destined to buy the brass online from an actual supplier.

I used to collect sheets from scrap yards constantly of brass and copper.. best place IMO to get good brass super cheap.

Looking for brass!

Anyone out there know where I can get some thin brass sheets? I don't need it to be very thick or very big. 18g or so and I only need a couple square feet at most.

Some think nasal sized brass would be cool too.

Travis. Can you resend me those measurements? I finished your helmet, but your measurements don't seem to add up -especially the 9" front to back. The helmet I made is 9 1/4" front to back so it will be too small if your measurements are correct. Just want to make sure we get this right......

I agree with Jeff J. You shouldn't go through the SCA just because the person is a laurel in the SCA. Although 99% of my customers are SCA fighters, I do not consider myself an SCA armourer. My business practices have nothing to do with the SCA other then the fact that most of my customers participa...
