I am here and posting an update. I apologize for the lack of communication -been a bad month! I am trying to get all my current orders done as quick as possible so I can help as many people as I can before I have to close up for good. Only time will tell... Anyway, stay tuned for an update.. (^_^)

Hjalmr, how does one go about ordering? Are all the helms that don't have NIS on them in stock? What are your standard measurements? NIS = Not In Stock. I have 4 helmets in stock so if you send me a head measurement (around the entire head at forhead level) I will send you a link to what I have (if...

Yes, I have a few helmets in stock.

hjalmr

Sad to hear. But glad to hear that you will still be making armour. Curious though, how much will your shield bosses be? Those will probably remain the same price, as will a few other non-helmet items like cops and gorgets. Only helmets will be effected (i think). The good news is I will be making ...

Well you should love it more then because I plan to start experimenting with things I never have the time to play with -brass work, etching, blackening, etc...

Its kinda like semi-retirement where I can have some fun....

I found out today that I will no longer be able to get the scrap metal from the people who supply me -meaning I will have to go out and buy steel at the normal price. This will cut into the cost and force me to raise my prices. If I have to raise my prices, I might as well make better helmets. Thus ...

hjalmr

I still have my stainless steel ones and I'll let them go for a mere $100 + shipping.

hjalmr

I am here if you need me.

Shoot me a PM letting me know what type of helmet you are looking for and maybe I can help you out now.

Heres a quick Labor Day update. I didn't get much done last week due to many mundane reasons. I hope to get more done this week. James Moore (Sugarloaf helmet and 3-Piece Cops) â€“Shipped!

Plus, even if you were my size, you're you know, a Duke. With all the skill that title entails. You avoid fights with Dukes? Hell, those are the fun ones. Oh hell yes! I would LOVE to fight you dukelogan. Although size and skill does have the advantage -in my opinion the "smarter" fighter...

I sell full gauntlets for $80 + shipping, but you will have to attach them to gloves -which may be too hard for someone who couldn't kill a pillow with a hammer. Lol. As for the shield, I can sell you a 24" wooden strapped shield for $25 + shipping (which will probably be $15-$20) if you must b...

hjalmr

Wow!

Everyone is always asking me for SS gauntlets and when I finally have a pair -no one is interested.

O.o

hjalmr

Really? Thats good to know. I think the statement on using a heater was from one of the newbie fighter articles I read but not 100% sure. Glad I didnt just go get one now. With all that being said do you have one or both? Just browseing around it seems like you are the man for reasonable gear. Betw...

hjalmr

Shield is more or less the same thing. Just want something I can pull out of the box and get to work. I have been told that the classic heater is the easiest to get a feel for starting out but really have no idea. Wow, really? I wonder where you heard that from? I know people who have been using a ...

I have a pair of 16g STAINLESS STEEL full gauntlets for sale. They are a size medium and should fit an average sized person (hands) between 5'7" and 6' 1" or so. I am asking $100 for these: m m They have a wire brush finish and I noticed I missed a few spots when I took the picture so I ha...

Hey, why didn't you make it a wankel like in the pic?

O.o

I have been reading this thread and I got an idea that I just tested out. I have a mild helm that I just purchased and due to the discussion I was curious. I sat mine out at about 20 feet and shot it with my Glock 17 9mm pistol. It now has a small dent, but absolutly no penetration what so ever. I ...

I don't know if it will add to what I have already stated, but said helms(2 of them) that i bought both for newbies, and thier gorgets, I have wailed on with a 6 foot greatsword, 7 foot glaive, 29" falchion, and a mace i am 5'8" and 300 lbs i can cave a helm no problem can't even dent the...

hjalmr

I hear you RenJunkie.

I have actually asked my customers to let me know how my stuff holds up and if they have any recommendations regarding design. Now I get a decent amount or feedback, but usually a couple weeks after they recieve the armour -I rarely get any long term feedback.

(^_^)

hjalmr

We communicated via PM, not email or I would have it. I don't think the helmet was supposed to be stainless although it was supposed to be 14ga. It miced at 16ga. The guy who bought it from you contacted you and told you about it denting. You told him that there was nothing wrong with the helmet wh...

hjalmr

Might believe you if it wasn't me who contacted you. Doubt I still have the PMs but this is about the same attitude I got from you at the time. There was no chance that you made a mistake even though he had to wait extra time for his helmet since you had mailed it to someone else and they had to se...

hjalmr

I am very seriously considering having Hjalmr make me a hat. Me and him have been discussing the style, and everything's been great thus far. I've seen nothing but positive reviews about what people received from him, and the experience in dealing with him. I have no worries about any of this. My r...

hjalmr

I directed a new guy to him. The helmet he got was pretty substandard. There was some confusion in shipping because through a fluke, someone with the same last name ordered at the same time. Hjalmr got pretty argumentative about it being made of different material than he claimed. Unless he found a...

Glad the armor finally arrived (can't believe it took that long over such a short distance) and that you are happy with it. I hope your friend likes it and may it serve him well for many years to come.

I recieved a payment from Daniel Glassburn for demi-gauntlets (I believe), but there way no address with the payment. If you know Daniel Glassburn (or happen to be Daniel Glassburn) please have him contact me so I can get an address to ship his item to.
