Well, as I have had some unexpected equestrian bills this month (carried over into next month) I suppose going over my limit of "cheap" will not be much of an option. I don't have any place to use either yet, but I doubt PQ would have a problem with me loaning the shop a welder! As for the drill pre...

WaaaghBoss

Thanks Chris!

I may have to check this out- I wonder how much the welder and drill press will go for.

Email sent about a nametag for my horse's stall.
Thanks!

I like carpet armour. Circa 1993, orange shag is the best.
Seriously, I like the 16th century stuff. More so the peascod breastplate and the Greenwich armours. It just looks so cool, with all the etching and black oxide with the gilded edges. Sweet.

WaaaghBoss

I wonder if the lack of morions has anything to do with the abundance and cost of the fairly nice Indian ones floating about. I got two of them for $60 (total, including shipping). I like the look of a morion with my doublet and gorget. Fancy shmancy 16th century Ren-Faire type outfit. I've only see...

You really do need to be more specific, as there are two extremes and everything in the middle- Extreme #1: Take out a second mortgage, pay Mac $45,000 or more for a one of a kind custom made museum quality harness with exchange pieces. Extreme #2: Hang out on the classifieds, watch E-Bay like a haw...

Ingrid,
I believe the ACE by my place has them- I'll check for you, if you want.

Hows the new place? Get my email?

Hows John? I haven't talked to either of you in a while...

PS> Trail riding has been so awesome. You need to come down to the barn one of these days!

Gypsy,
I am interested in the finger gaunts- pics to address in profile as well as what size they are.
Thanks!

I may be interested. Pics? How much?

You guyz is nuts. I give up. Found it online for $35 shipping included, just bought it.

OK,
I'll bite, as I play Bretonnians. What kind of armour are you looking for?
I have some SS spaulders right now, but make something else depending on what you need.

Very nice looking helm. What would shipping charges be to the USA? Not that I have $450 to spare right now, but expecting that tax refund check any day now.

~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Hey Nikki!
Is that for my shirt? Just curious.

Like I said, I'm in no big hurry, don't need it until June. Can't wait for the rest of my goodies, should come today or so!
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Link not working.
How much are you asking for the helm?
Thanks!
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Man Chris, I won't be able to make it either. I'll be in Orlando that weekend. Drinkin mai-tai's and doing nothing important.

WaaaghBoss

I don't think so! Sasuke is making me an eye patch with an embossed skull, now I think it would be cool to wear that on the outside on this helm!

WaaaghBoss

I'm bidding on it. I must have that helm.

~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Hal,
Well if you ever decide to make one for sale, let me be the first to have dibs! I really want a skull faced helm. Someday I hope to have the skill to make one myself, but for now I'll have to use my dead presidents to get one!
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Hey Hal,
How much to make me a skull face for a helm like that?
~K

WaaaghBoss

Oh, but Pheylin I have about 100 other things I need to do in your shop. Working on leather is one of those "I can do at home" sorts of things.
What time on Saturday? I'm free until about 4PM.

WaaaghBoss

Chris,
I tried the pattern on her yesterday, needs a little adjustement (eye openings a little narrow, nose just a touch long). Should be pretty cool, I have some heavy leather to make it out of. I will be water hardening it and sealing with bees wax.

If anyone actaully buys it, I guess I will have to sell my "elven" gorget. It's shiny (SS). It's rare and valuable indeed! Everyone who knows anything about arms & armor... blah blah blah.
~Kevin

WaaaghBoss

Thanks Jeff! I've never actually seen it spelled, only heard it.

WaaaghBoss

Chris, I made my chanfron pattern last night out of some card stock- thanks for the info on that! I'll be trying it on her tonight. I will then be adjusting it and making it in leather, steel to come some day in the near future! BTW- the long horse blanket looking thing on destriers is called a comp...

WaaaghBoss

Thanks for the info everyone! I'll keep looking on abebooks and see what kind of deals I can find. Keep looking on Ebay too. Sigeric, Yeah, still planning on it. I've been riding 4 days a week and just got my own horse in December. Unless plans change though I will be understudy and a squire (no ope...

OH YEAH, I AM SO THERE!!! Has to be before June (Ren Faire season). I'll bring my AR-15 and we'll have a good ol' time!~!!

Title pretty much sums it up. There are about 1/2 dozen I want to get, so I would like to find the cheapest place. Did a little internet searching and prices pretty much are the same. Amazon is actually higher than a lot of places. Anyone know the "best" place to get them?

Bronze Greek Helm on E-Bay

Best place (cheapest!) for Osprey books?
