Were you not also the same person who cordinated the Carlonia Stamping form for SS Lamella plates? If memory serves correctly, you are the man to thank for that.

Cat, With the dished portion on the top, I tend to cut rounded triangles at the top and sew them either together to form the dish, or tie them together somewhat like a suspension liner. I did this with my sugar loaf and it worked fairly well. As far as cutting through your stiches, yep, sure do. I j...

Hello,

Another way is to quilt and stuff a section of cloth. Then after it is all complete, cut the pattern out of it. I tend to do that with my aketons and gambeson's. Yes it adds more waste, but it tends < IMHO > to remove the questimations. Just my 2p.

Hello, Another example used for SCA I've seen has a detachable face and top. The back and sides are one unit with mail attached to it. The face and top are attached via pin and hole on the back and the face is buckled around the back also. Gives the apperance of a coif but is not. Lord Aurther of Bl...

Hello... I'll chime in also... while I don't know you personally either. The SCA does have a broad range of items it does study.. What are the Arts & Sciences? The Arts & Sciences are all the crafts, skills, and technologies practiced during the period and cultures the SCA covers. Arts & Sciences ra...

Hello,

Am seeing if I can get Baron Alcyoness to get in contact with Master Glendor for you.

I almost did the same thing myself with the newcastle type lamella... however the Auk type are very thin and do flex quite a bit. They are nice for the look in themselves.. but I would imagine you'd have to have a HIGH pain tolerance to use them as a stand-alone armour for SCA activitiy

Sarnac, We have a Knight here that uses a curaiss out of them. In his opinion, they realy don't protect worth a crap, but they do look pretty nifty. They are conciderably thinner then the newcastle, but also alot smaller and look more "real". If you do end up using them, I'd realy suggest using some...

Hello,

I seem to recall baby shampoo works fairly well. There is an AA post sometime earlier this year about that.

This place should help you out a little.

You could always weld the lames in position and use the "decorative" cording. Unfortunatly you won't be able to get away from the bar grill on the face. If Adam does it for SCA use, it will definatly look HOT!

Rev. George can you please check your PM's.

Much appreciated

Robert,

That looks like it woulda been a blast to be there. Your kit is definatly comming along nicely. Looks like Mid Summers was a blast also, to bad again I could attend. I still have yet to attend an event over here.

Cheers

sorry... replied in wrong post. My appoligies

Hello,

Depends on how rigid you like it. The looser you weave it, the more flexable it will be, but may not be as protective. YMMV.

Mine is 24"x32"curved. I'm 5'10". I used another person's who was around 6'. YMMV.

I've even tried quenching it to see if that works (like on brass) but still no positive results.~Arty heyya, Remember quenching non-ferrious metals < ie Brass > will soften it.

I will agree talon's gauntlets are very very nice. Work great and have nice protection. I use a camp mat base behind the hand and wear street hockey gloves inside and don't even feel a thing when smacked.

No finger wagging, Gwen. I'm just trying to find a way to stop the chaus droop syndrome. Jehan, squire of Sir Vitus Garders. They work wonders.

Talon Armouries are very good also. Master Glendor has a very quick turnaround and does a very , in my opinion, safe and nice looking gauntlet.

Ronnin,

While I'm not Adam, I can explain. Match the leather with the bottom of the lamellar, mark the holes and punch them out of the leather. Weave the leather along with the lamellar on the bottom holes.

Hope that helps a little.

Cheers

Looks nice. How did you make that mace?

Sixtus

P.S. To thoes looking at buying this, the plates will straiten out with a rubber mallet and a flat surface. I have to do that once in a while on my cuirass, pretty much cosmetic.

If the lacross glove is deemed to have equal protection to a hockey glove, they he would be very legal by SCA.org minimum rules. No vambrace is required < strongly suggested > but not required.
