You could also just buy a ton of clecos as they are not expensive.

PS Still a good tip Thomas

Hal Thanks for the encouragement. I would love to get an OA rig but two things are preventing me. You see my garage is part of the house so the insurance company is touchy about it. It can be done but with lots of trouble and when it is time to pay in case of a fire, well letÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s just say I won...

Padrig

Black Rain, thanks for the tip. And I should know better. Like my grandfather use to say, Ã¢â‚¬Å“I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuffÃ¢â‚¬Â

Padrig

No really...every one? Really? All of them?

Pad

Padrig

I thought it was crap too. I just needed to hear it from someone else.

Thanks for your help.

Guillaume, I will email you.

Well, here I am again. I want to buy a stick welder to make small tools, a little sculpture, etc... The trouble is that I canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t afford anything else than a little 50 amps buzzbox from Lincoln that plugs into 110V. My question is, is it a good idea to do what I want and also to get some practi...

Still saving up for and dreaming of that Grizzly 2x72 and being able to sand a breastplate without resorting to flap wheels on angle grinders and the like. We have the same dreams. Although, with time, I may end-up making mine. A-Bob showed me a picture of his that he made a while ago and it looks ...

Send it to me Hal, and I'll do it for you.

JMc, it is used as to put small to medium radius curves in metal as well as smoothing bumps.

I bought a knockoff of the whitney jr punch from princess auto...A project i am contemplating would have me punching approximately 4000 holes in .02 inch hardened spring steel. So i will need replacement punches.... Thanks in advance. You forgot to write "a whole bunch of" before replacement punche...

Padrig

Carefull though, sometimes, shavings get stuck in the leather and you end up with some nasty circles around the hole. So be gentle.

I see it fine also so it must be that Tom and I are higher beings.

Thanks

A boule ball?

Is it like a Bull Ball?

Padrig

Thanks for doing this. My prayers are with you.

Padrig

Very nice indeed. I was not surprised though. All you do is.

I can't, it in me blood. And even if I wanted to it is impossible with such a muse as you to inspire me.

A good thing too because the crudeness of today's fashion could hardly do justice to M'lady's beauty.

Primary: It has to be 21st century Quebec. You should see the amount of money I have invested trying to get that one right.

Secondary: Any period that gives me a reason to hit steel with another piece of steel but mostly 14th-16th Europe.

Wyrm, I have made them with the edge rolled in and out. But it based on custommer choice not historical facts. If you have questions about construction, feel free to email me. You can see some of our work here:

First thing that comes to mind is "Why am I even trying?"

I am speechless!

This seems to be the best place, according to most here, for the US:

I am also impressed, very nice Bex. Recognition is a nice thing that armourer dont get enough of methinks, from the general populace anyway. Here we know better, hats off m'lady.

I dont know if you will find what you are lookinf for but I have many links for patterns:

3/8 is a good general lenght.

Hal is like Wilson on "Home Improvement". You see him in some pics but never completly. I am guessing he is an incredibly handsome man and dont want to make us look bad.

Pad

Padrig

Very nice! I understand about the glasses but if you ever take a pic without them I would love to see it. I don't know, with the glasses, it is harder to really see the lines. It breaks them up somehow. Maybe it is just me.

Thanks for sharing

Pad

Padrig

Welcome.

I will weep for you tonight my friend, another poor soul now trapped in the AA.

Pad

Padrig

That seems a bit on the low side to me. In 4-1 3/8 id you will need closer to 15000 for short sleeves and a couple thousands more for long sleeves.

Good luck
