These ones are stainless with aluminum splints. My internet is down for about a week but will try and get online after the weekend with weight and answers to the other stuff.

Mad Matt

Bumping this up. One set left. They'll get turned into wisby fingermittens tomorrow.

Sometime next week provided I get the scan of your hand that I need.

Mad Matt

No enclosed thumbtip is not required.

Really need to make some cash. I've got 2 pairs of partially finished gauntlets that can be finished within a week. Here are the choices. Fingered $650 Finger mittens $550 Enclosed thumbtip add $100 Can be either wisby or hourglass at this point. Also I have some undyed leather so wisbys have color ...

I'm working in 410. I'm not really taking orders at the moment though till I clear some of the ones I've got.

Mad Matt

And if you're a manly man like me you can stack all 10 horizontal plates of a kussnasch coat of plates and bend them all at once so that not only do they nest top to bottom they also nest front to back.

Mad Matt

What's your navel measurement. I took a quick measure when I did that. If you give me yours I can check it better. I've also dropped a bunch of waist since the breastplate was made so it may actually go a few inches bigger.

Mad Matt

Use something like what halberds posted. Stack the lames for one spaulder and bend them all at the same time in a stack. FASTER then a slip roll and they nest perfectly instead of all being the same. And on top of that your spaulder cop isn't going to exactly fit the lames that come out of a slip ro...

Mad Matt

I'm about 35" at the navel (narrowest part of the breastplate) the width from side to side on the breastplate is 11.5"

It is meant to squish you in a bit at the waist. It should fit if you're a little bigger but not a lot.

Mad Matt

The word you are looking for is ARMS and not hands.

Mad Matt

If you're close to my size we can go over all specific measurements to ensure that it will fit and function properly if you have a serious interest and ability to make the purchase. And of course before any commitment to buy takes place.

Mad Matt

Will add a note that while preference is a sale paid in full now I am willing to take payment in installments. Would not ship until full payment has been made though. This is a big ticket item and not everyone has that kinda cash lying around.

Mad Matt

They curl around and point back towards the arm but don't roll into a ball. Seems like most only bend around that far. Going to add a little bit more curve on the pattern for the lames on the part that sits underneath so I can get a little more bend on the spring stainless version. Probably going to...

The spring stainless suit is costing $7k but I wouldn't do it for that little again. The pics are of the mild steel prototype just put up pics of the gauntlets. the suit in the pictures is currently for sale need to get gloves in the gauntlets and will get pics with the cod piece and everything no h...

Mad Matt

Working on the spring stainless version now which is moving along nicely.

Mad Matt

Yep they're a pain in the ass. But not so bad once they make sense.

Need to finish this suit in spring stainless before I take new orders but it's not going to be forever.

I'm probably willing to take payment in installments,.

Hold on while I look up my x-wifes address.

Mad Matt

Lol. No but if you came to my house and pointed a shotgun at me you'd probably get a pair.

If it's road worthy earlier than 75 american muscle you might tempt me.

The sabatons are silly because they're big and clunky. The pic on the site I think they got photoshopped smaller so I have to get some new pics of them before selling em to anyone.

The demigauntlets fit my hands xl workglove.

Mad Matt

Yeah it was pretty tricky finding room to make them slide. I have to repattern the wrist area lames anyway they don't wrap around the thumb enough so now when i rebuild them I don't have to do slots. Which is great because I don't like doing them.

Mad Matt

Thanks once again Wade. Guess I made it harder than it should be.

Mad Matt

Anyone have something that shows or can just kind of explain how much they should bend at the wrist in a side to side direction? I can't really see any slots in the articulations but it sort of feels like there should be motion in that direction. I've put in slots and have some range in there but no...

Water is the best coolant. Cobalt bits are much better than titanium but they're more brittle too. Learn to sharpen bits or get a drill doctor to do it. Don't buy cheap bits. Slow speed and decent pressure most of the way through. Then just as you're starting to break through the other side high spe...
