Are you looking for mild or stainless greaves? I may be willing to trade some 18 ga, mild greaves (front only not cased) for them.

Rather than it being a stupid question I think it is more a matter of Waaaghboss answering sufficiently enough http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif Sasuke ------------------ www.oaksarmoury.com How could they fire me?!?

Yes, I do the forming first then work the crease over a blunt chisel from the outside. That is how I did this set: [img]http://home.armourarchive.org/members/sasuke/Fris/g1.jpg[/img] Sorry for the bad picture. Sasuke ------------------ www.oaksarmoury.com How could they fire me?!?

I have seen that exact hammer at a tool store. I was impressed with the weight but I still question its usefulness for dishing much beyond what is shown in the picture. I would think a rawhide mallet would give better results all around. Plus for the price I could get a nice raising hammer. Sasuke -...

Evil_Merlin email me about those elbows.

Must have been something in the air. I had a horrible time on Sat. with a project. I got so frustrated and angry that I let loose a profanity so loud my wife heard it in the house and came out to the shop to check that I hadn't chopped my arm off or something. I am much better now http://www.armoura...

Sasuke

That is what I did. I bought the HF shear, made one mod. I then took the armor I made by using it to save up for a B2. I never would have been able to afford it otherwise. Probably never would have bought a B2 if I wasn't working with stainless so much actually. Sasuke ------------------ www.oaksarm...

You could still get it. Then later trade it for armor.

I myself am often willing to take things in trade.

I for one would love to see some of these done.

Do you always keep your son tethered to the doorknob or only when he has armor on?

Seriously, a B-2 as everyone else has said. For everything else go to every farm/business auction you can. Any rural garage sales especially estate sales. You would be amazed at the great deals you can get. But you need to keep your eyes open and do the legwork. When you are first starting the tools...

Sasuke

Have any pictures yet? Have you met with any of the Nordskogen armoring crowd yet? They could help you with the project. They meet monday evenings I think. Darivs and I were talking about having another Armor-In. Probably after Pennsic. I also enjoy having visitors at my shop so if you are ever down...

I second the brass rivet idea.

I honestly couldn't say one way or the other whether they would fit you Waaghboss. It was a couple years and many projects ago. My memory just isn't that good http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif But if things are just a bit off (like the cuisses were too small) I would be willing to replace p...

Sasuke

I had an email from him today. I think he is still trying to figure out how much to ask for the kit. Be patient. He probably has a ton of emails to sort through. Personally, I don't think he should let it go for a penny less than $10,000 http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif j/k And if anyone i...

I don't mind you linking to the site at all. Here are the sabs and spaulders from the kit:

I have a crappy pattern here:

Uses a fauld instead of the square plate skirt.

Yeah, I like to keep all of the emails too. But I made up folders on my email client. The only emails that remain in my inbox are unresolved (in one way or another) issues. If I already have their name on my waiting list then the email is transferred to the projects folder. I also have all sent mess...

Sasuke

How many do you need and what size? I have freakishly long rivets (mild and stainless) as well as some long copper roofing nails. I could send you some. Another option is to use bolts and nuts. I ground the heads of the bolts to make them more decorative. The bolts were just long enough to go about ...

I have a notebook. I write name and email address of the customer. Then the item(s) they ordered. I then have 4 columns. The first is the date I recieved their measurements, second is when the project was completed, third is when package is shipped and fourth is when the customer actually got the pa...

Sasuke

Do the drill trick myself. I drill shallow holes at the edge then deeper as I get to the middle of the dish. I then knockout what remains with a wood chisel. I mash whatever is left with my heaviest hammer. The whole process can't take more than an hour if that. Sasuke ------------------ www.oaksarm...

When I was teaching I did something fairly similar. I went to a local print shop and got a bunch of their scrap posterboard (printed on one side blank on the other). I traced a greathelm pattern on each sheet and had the kids cut them out and staple them together. I also had a visored sallet pattern...

I am far from being able to state historical references and such but I believe they would be from the transitional period. So my guess would be splint arms and legs. There are others who can be much more precise than I. Plus these were patterned off of pictures from various other people's reproducti...
