You are a lucky man indeed. If people know that it is Jeff that is making it, they are surely asking when is it comming. How is not a question. We all know that.

Look at the end ot the topic for a picture of a hammer handle modified to help with vibration.

I will try it myself.

Hal, what is the harmonic thingy your are talking about?

Pad

PS: Durame, I emailed you about the belt sander.

Padrig

Same here

Is the helm raised?

Very nice indeed.

Padrig

Thanks for the pics. I was looking into that also. Was it expensive if I might ask?

Crows Anvil, posted a wonderful short picture essay a few months back to make some by grinding. I have it on my laptop but don't know if it is hosted somewhere. Tell me and I'll email it to you if you want.

Pad

Padrig

You can find cheap one here I think

You mean the sallet was not finished in the pics above?

That's it, I give up. Who want to buy assorted armouring tools.

When you're good, you're good, whatever the terminology.

Padrig

Wow you really make nice squares with tiny red X's in it.

Pad

Padrig

Yes but is it thick enough for straps, if that is what it is for? I use 6-8 oz myself for straps.

Pad

Padrig

Isn't this a little bit on the thin side for strapping?

Nice. What thickness are they Ash?

I thought to myself "Why would someone want to make maille out of paper?"

I guess I have caught Jeff's disease,;)

Konstantin, I do have the Wencelas helmet pic:

The others are in some books I own but are all reproduction. I started working on one based on the one above.

Thanks for helping.

Ok, I won't hold my breath m'lady but I'll be standing in line when it comes out.

Chef, my assumption is not based on any research. It is only based on what I imagine the result would be. I imagine a solid hit in the chest at the force that I've seen people who joust with shields hit, with a steel tipped lance and I would never have thought that end result would be anything less ...

Any help would be appreciated.

Charlotte, Kass doesn't need it to resist anything. She has more than enough followers who are ready to throw themselves between her and any danger she could face.

Pad

Padrig

Just as stated, I am looking for pictures of nasal (original, not reproduction, the nasal that is, not the pictures;)). I will either copy or use in designing the one for my helm. I found a few but I was curious if you gents could not help me find more.

Thanks

Pad

Padrig

I would think that the speed generated by the horse and whatever weight is generated by the resistance the rider can put on the lance are what creates the force. The horse is simply not in the equation except to generate speed. But of course the end result is still the same. It would go through mail...

Padrig

I started to look at the pictures to figure out how many diamond shaped paterns there were and in between. I think I know how many there are...a lot! Of course now that I think back on it, hauberks with 40K to 50K rings in them were a lot also. Maybe I'm insane. Can't wait to see it finished. Pad

Padrig

Yes, I imagine they would open up a little when you flatten them. I am curious as to how many are needed for the jacket? And it does sound as tedious as maille if not as hard on the hands. But the end product is well worth it.

Cool tips for relieving hammering stress.

Could this do the same job as a 2X72 belt sander?
