Very cool indeed. Have you thought about putting wheels on it? Having wheels on your trebuchet make a considerable improvement in the overall distance you can achieve. Our trebuchet can be found at http://geocities.com/podpix/weapons2.html . It was a real blast making this thing and testing it out. ...

Galileo, I think what you are referring to is my thread about taking the burrs off the maille by using a tumbler (or something like that http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif ) If I'm not mistaken, someone said that if you tumble the chainmaille in that mixture that it will strip the galvanizat...

What would this cost?
What would a hauberk for a medium sized person (mid length sleeves, mid thigh length shirt) using 3/8" 16ga stainless steel links in a king's maille pattern cost? Pure insanity, right? My roommate has delusions of making one and is looking to buy the wire sometime soon. I think he's nuts. So, what w...

Using a Train to Make Riveted Maille
This is just another crazy/illegal/stupid idea I came up with this morning. So, I'm driving to work today and as I pass a train station, it suddenly dawns on me - why not use a train to flatten the links for riveted maille? I mean, people do it with pennies all the time and they get nice and flat. H...

No, your prices aren't too high - mine are far lower than what the pieces are actually worth. Why? Mainly because we haven't established a reputation yet, and some people seem more at ease ordering from someone with average-high prices when they know they're going to get a good product.

It's going kinda slow right now, but I put some rings up on the AA auction and on eBay, so maybe that will stir some things up. We're about to start a vest made of 5/16" 14ga links.

Just make sure it's dry before you shove it in a bag or other storage container. It will still rust, but it's not going to instantly rust out and rot your leather.

Sure, I'd like to make $80-100 on every coif that I sell. I'd like to be able to get a money order for $400 for a hauberk, but at this point I just can't. For me, having lower prices than I know I am worth is a sacrifice that will hopefully lead to good reviews and more customers. My long-term goal ...
