I don't, but you can buy it on amazon, sometimes they have a good deal on it. Got mine for around $50, usually $80ish.

When you think about it. Iceland doesn't have a whole lot. An average bucket of KFC costs roughtly $45 USD. This island/country IMPORTS almost all of its nessesities, yep, you guessed it, steel is one of them. Plus they may not have great skill or great room to put hammer to metal.

I'll chime in also. I've had my helm rotate downwards cutting my nose before < not pretty >. I wear a sugarloaf myself. I have a 2 strap setup. One goes from the ear, under my jaw to the other ear. The other strap goes from the back of the jaw, over the front of my jaw and back onto the other side. ...

Sixtus_Goetz

Hello,

A chin strap also has to protect from the helm comming "up" and exposing the face and neck. That is why one of the tests is to lift slightly on the helm to see the face or neck are exposed.

Ceawlin,

Seen that helm you made for Ld Richard. Looks pretty good. May have to make it back down to germany sometime before I leave back to the U.S.

Hello,

Speaking of shields, about a month or 2 ago, someone wrote on how to make a decent oval pattern. Would someone like to either re-post it, point me to it, or contact me off-list at depths_of_mind@btinternet.com

Much appreciated.

I've become partial to this one. Even though it is mostly for SCA armourers. Shrug, works for me.

Earl Giles,

While I have plans on it. I will be returning from the U.S. on the 31st, so it realy all depends on how I feel after a trip from London-L.A.-Michigan-L.A.-London in 2 weeks. Have tentative plans though.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a sheet of shoe crepe. I can't seme to find anyplace willing to sell 1 sheet. Looking for enough for 3-4 pairs of shoes < 2 for shoes on hand and enough for at least 1 replacement sole each >. U.S. companies prefered, U.K. companies will be ok also. Saranac Goetz

Sixtus_Goetz

Might be a little off since not truly authentic, but none the less. Recieved Revival Clothing's turn-shoe styled shoes today. Very nice looking, and fairly comfortable < inserts a DEFINATE recomendation >. Time it took from order to reciept was about 2 months. They ran out of stock due to Pennsic < ...
