Query about tool pricing, looking for input
Got one of the tech's up here @ my work to layout a stake plate for me in a cad program. It has 25 holes, 5 each of 1/2" square, 3/4" square, 1" square, 1.25" square, and .5" radius circle. There's a machine shop here that can make one for me out of 1/4" plate for $125 + $25 setup fee. I can also ge...

Would look nice, but don't do it. As someone who's just completed a $40 experiment, the skins is waaaaaay to necessary for usable polearms. I made a pair of matched polearms that I'd shaved down to octagonal profiles, and they lost almost all of their oomph. Looked amazingly good, but no hitting pow...

A couple of comments. Duke Logan. You actually showed your philosophy well in the video. I remember 7 hits to the leg armour first, each one of increasing force. Then the hits to the hip (unarmoured) and then the head I think. It was obvious you were trying to get him to call the shot, not break him...

PoD, Karl's Got the key. What I did on mine was wire-wrapped the hilt just below the cross guard, essentially making the effective diameter of the handle bigger than the hole in the crossguard. I use epoxy, friction, or other glues to keep it from rotating, but friction mostly. As for the pommel, di...

You basically end up paying around $5 a square foot. Sounds like a lot, until you realize that the metal for a pair of gaunts only uses $15 of metal.

I did some empirical tests with 1018 mild steel, and to me, it did seem like it was a bit harder aftern hardening. Not to the extent of the 4130 or the 1050+ types, where you could basically cut the thickness in half for the same strength. I'd estimate you could drop one gauge of thickness safely wi...

Although not as much as I used to, I fight polearm a lot still. My rules: #1) Butt-spike. Real polearms had them, and there is a reason. When Joe Shieldman blocks your first thrust and tries to rush in, he gets to meet Mr. Butt Spike. Look at the period Manuals. They got used a lot. #2) Proper power...

Well, I fought in them this Sunday, and they worked fantastically. I am uber happy with their fit, protection, and performance. I still have some tweaking to do, but I think when I'm finished I'll not be able to tell the difference between this and a bare hand. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile...
