Scorpus,
If you get a chance, could you take those pics i asked about, please?

Garreth

Cool, thanks!

If you do have it, will it fit on a standard scanner, or is it a large format? I'm not sure what size my scanner bed is, but it's BIG.

Garreth

Sweet, thanks!
Next on my list of books to get from ILL and scan is 2500 years of european helmets.

Garreth

Yeah, the face mask cavalry sport helms are pretty damn cool!

Garreth

Thanks Eric! If you need a laptop w/ a wireless card, I have quite a few Apple iBooks running OSX. I could easily hook you up with one.

Garreth

Not sure on the late empire stuff, honestly. I don't know a lot about Roman stuff, that's why I got this book from ILL I scanned any pic that interested me, which was most everything. I left out a few pics from the lorica hamata section, and a few pics of stone carvings of Trajan's column. I also le...

It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but there will be a mild steel roman cavalry helm for sale soon, like this one.

I asked Regulus to clarify what he has for sale. I know he will be selling a mild steel version of the first, roman cavalry helm. as well. It looks very, very nice. I can't wait to get my new stainless hat

Garreth

Thanks

Max, I would never post scans from a book that is still in print. I am just trying to give back to this community. I knew it was a bit of a slippery slope when I posted them. Rohlgrim, There are some small pics of the valsgarde and vendel helms, I will scan them in a bit. They are the same drawings ...

The stainless cav helm is mine. I know Richard has a mild steel prototype to sell as well.

I've got 75 scans from the book by H. Russel Robinson, uploaded here:

Have a look, it's a good book, and it's hard to find.

Garreth

Sean, Glad I could help. If you think of anything else you'd like to see, let me know and I will see what I can find in the book. Those 1:1 scale drawings are amazing, IMO. The scans are 600 dpi, and are quite large. My scanner will do up to 4800 dpi , but I fear it would take all day for one pic an...

Sean Powell wanted to check up the pictures from "The Anglican Helm From Coppergate" and I thought others might as well. I scanned all of the full size pics, and some smaller pics of how the helm is assembled. The large pics are HUGE, and have an amazing amount of detail. There is a ton of...

Murdock,
I was contemplating doing that very thing with the furniture nails. What type of rivets do you use and do you have any problems crushing or deforming the washers?

Eric, For the record, your customer service and communication have been outstanding. I really appreciate the fact that you were willing to make all the custom design changes, and at a ridiculous price, I might add. I will not hesitate to send business your way. If I could only convince my Knight tha...

Garreth

Cad,
Shouldn't you be saving for a new helm?

Garreth

Juan,
We talked about the bauzabands in 16 and 18 gauge months ago. Would you be interested in trying a pair if i sent you some 16 gauge for the elbows?

Garreth

Eric,
Thanks for the update. There is money in your paypal account

Garreth

Odd, I've sent four or five messages this afternoon. I will try again from home.

Garreth

I will add that flux core wire sucks monkey balls.

Garreth

Eric,
I replied to your email a few minutes ago. Go ahead and ship it all together, otherwise I will get murdered on the charges. I'd rather wait a bit longer and save some cash.

Garreth

Eric,
I should have some more Paypal funds on the way to you soon. Any idea on the compleation date? (I realize that adding to my order has probably added to the production time). I can't wait to get the stuff blued and strapped for use. Seriously jonseing over here

Garreth

If you talk really nice to me, I'll let you borrow my gas bottle and a spool of wire so you can test it out. See if you can get the sears model number for me and I will see if I can pull up the specs on it. Should be a 5 diget number, I think. Also, see if they will throw in gloves, helmet, etc. You...

Garreth

O.K., to clarify, my cylinder was brown, and was 75% CO2, 25% Argon, and it cost be @ $20 to exchange. The add says it needs wire and gas, so it doesn't sound like you can test it easily. YMMV

Garreth

Jim, That welder will probably suit your needs for hobbyist welding. As others have said, the bottel alone is worth that much. A quick look shows the gas cylinders run around $80 new, and the cheapest regulator I can find is $30. I would get the model number and check with Sears parts and service fo...

Garreth

Sold to Nikos pending payment

Garreth

Pat,
You can have my extra copy for what I paid for it, $45. I had a hard time finding a copy, after I thought I'd lost mine. It turned up in my mothers garage, so I don't need 2 copies.

Garreth

I added a pic and weighed the cops.

Garreth

I don't think the heat will affect the brass, but if it does, just polish it back up with 0000 steel wool. This also works to get surface rust off of the steel, without affecting the blueing. I just scrub with the steel wool and a bit of wd 40. Hjalmr, I have blued a helm over a turkey fryer propane...
