Alejandro, thanks for the compliments.

Sadly I don't sell them anymore. The weight varies as some ar AL for stage fighting some mild and some SS for bigger steel blades. A regular mild steel one for rapier was around 2-2.5 lbs.

Mike, I am not sure what you mean. The tree stump?

I used two end caps for the mushroom like stakes. You can find them with all the other plumbing fittings. I bought those in a "RÃƒÂ©no-DÃƒÂ©pÃƒÂ´t".

You can find some bucklers I did here: m All did in two parts and riveted together. Most are in 16 ga mild for the boss and 18ga for the rim. Some are SS. I have never had a custommer come back to me with any kind of failure. Email me if you want, I'll be happy to answer any specific questions you h...

Padrig

Mike feel free to use it. If you could email me a link to your article that I could put on my links page I would appreciate it. I used 1,25" for the bigger ones, 1" for the other and 0,75" for the smallest I think. For the galvanisation I am hoping that grinding is not as bad as heating the stuff up...

Yes your room is ready, I just need to get the cat to pee on the bed so you'll feel right at home.

You chose your aprentices well I would say.

Thanks for the tips.

The nasal will not have any shaping done to it except to match the helm of course. It is 1/8" thick. Maybe a little engraving though.

Pad

Padrig

Please stop teasing me Hal. I was halfway done cleaning the guestroom before I realized you were teasing.

Of course if you are serious, just say the word and I'll be more than happy to "persuade" the neighbor to leave.

Padrig

Thanks Artemis, and dont worry, lots of hammering left to do. I have to make the master proud.

Her is a the nasal. I am not sure it will sta that shape though, we'll see.

Mike, here is a better look. It is used as a rivet set. I will buy a couple more plugs to shape for the different rivet size I use.

Probably not, it is from a Spangen Master in Texas named Ron.

Thanks guys for the compliments Cailean, I am only teasing, I know Padraig is more common. I just wanted to be different. Don't we all. Actually my folks are from Britannia and Padrig was in use there. Angus, you are right as far as the purpose is concerned. It is just that the nasal I am working on...

Padrig

Yes, it will be sandwiched, with single rivet. I like the look more than the two rows of rivets. On a side note, the Mig will be to weld the headband.

Now why does everybody call's me Padraig...It's Padrig!!!

Stakes made like Hal's with plumber supplies. Cheap, about 20$ for the lot and a little grinding.

Not much I admit but I am almost done working on tools. Although I still need a few more stakes to finish this one as well as a Mig.

Thanks a lot Hugo, great feedback: Buttons are a bit fussy. You really have to wait for them to load up or they don't "click". I have no knowledge of webstuff at all, so I don't know how to say why it happens. Nice features, but tweak it a bit. I'll take ease of use over looks anyday. Well I am dont...

OooHHH I smell a caption contest.

Very nice by the way.

Padrig

Of course you are not nuts m'lady. You are perfectly sane, as we all are.

Ok, not a good example.

But if you are a nut then I would love to be a squirl.

Pad

Padrig

I am not sure I like the shape of the last lame, but that's just me. The rest is very nice, and for a first project on top of that, well done.

I dont understand M'lady.

Maeryck, how do I envy you.

I tried to convince her to take an aquebus, but it would have required too many hands. I would have more than happy to lend the use of my hands. [img]http://home.armourarchive.org/members/winter/MTT04/3stooges.jpg[/img] Jeff "This is awful, how do I spit it out without them noticing?" Pad

Thanks for your input Hal. I will probably try and make one like Patrick Thaden has. He was nice enough to send me a pic of it and I immediatly fell in love. With the sander not Patrick of course.
