Helm in progress
Well, we're working on a chapel de fer for a prize for the most honorable fighter in our last tournament. We're taking pictures as the helm goes together so that we'll have a record and that the next one will go faster... Any, pictures can be seen here http://cchipman.homeip.net/images/Chapel%20de%2...

Both of the above two posts are wrong, at will give you answers up to 3 gauges off. Use the inch measurements provided by the http://www.shoptools.com/sheetmetal.htm page, and multiply by 25.4. That will get you the correct millimeter to gauge. The "gauge is equal to one over the gauge number" crap ...

Couple of peices of advice. #1) Symmetry. Make sure that after cutting out and dressing your peices that they are symmetrical. It is vitally important or the helm will be an absolute bear. If you can't get them symmetrical, then recut new peices. Trust me on this. #2) Get lots of either bolts and nu...

Matt, I'd tactfully suggest that the money issue in your house is a bit out of control. If you are the wage earner and she the homemaker, budgets for stuff should be established. If she can't be trusted to keep to a budget, you should open a checking account that only you have access to, and put the...

Short-short-version: "If they are breathing hard, then you are getting a real fight". When training, a lot of the people I teach kill me. Its the point.

Watching Tape
Well, my best friend got a recorder and we were finally able to watch some tapes of fighter practice. As always my first thought was "Gee I'm fat". However, after that it was all good. High points: 1) I apparently have about a 1' vertical leap in armour. This is cool. 2) My shots have a good snap on...
