what is the measurmentr across the knuckles on the demin gauntlets?

Tarquin Bjornsson

i would do it in a heartbeat provided i don't need to get a hunting license, and i would have to drive down from canada to do it

Tarquin Bjornsson

i use one all the time at work. the beauty of thesis that they heat a surprisingly large surface area and farily quickly.

we use it at work for sweat fitting gears, replacment bearing journals and other stuff of the like.

Thanks

i had my helm done, simply because i can get most anythign powdercoated for free. It is real durable, yes 2 colours is possible but you need to mask it off copper tape (high temp resistance)

Tarquin Bjornsson

Knight's realm my problem is they are not doing it in this manner

Tarquin Bjornsson

hey Pad, how is the lathe running (i run a lathe for a living)

Tarquin Bjornsson

So your vision of what the game should be is more valid than mine? I didn't say that, however duke Alaric summed up my opinion quite well. i said until it is done in a period manner IE a FEW archers being snipers rather than all of them, and the MAJORITY of the archers (the ones that ARN'T snipers)...

Does anybody have an email adress for him, or if you see this can you please drop me a line Khavi is trying to get in touch with you.

Jester, i agree, many blows that look good may not be, but on the other hand, how many blows that look good and are good are counted as bad? (way too confusing for a moment there) all i say is that there are many situatons where peerage comes into question on the field, i have heard many stories of...

Tarquin Bjornsson

i would be interested if they were done in aluminum Titainium bronze or spring or stainless.

Also what is the possibility of getting additional holes on them to enable lacing together in the lamellar style IE no backing whatsoever.

Tarquin Bjornsson

i have that edging on my centre boss, it is excellant stuff.

A friend of mine bought a roll of it at war, i just got some form him.

Tarquin Bjornsson

Here is a bearing journal I welded today, the picture isnt great, but you can notice the coined texture. also note the width of the beads, they're actually twice taht width but overlap eachother by a half.

Tarquin Bjornsson

that is an aluminum MIG weld, the "coins" are too pointer to be a Tig welda good mig wled will ahve the same effect with the oxidization

Tarquin Bjornsson

i will try to post pics of my welding tommorow, i have what i refer to as a "Machinist" weld, no bigger than it has to be and is smooth as glass (as it is meant to be either cut or ground down). A good weld should be of a consistant width from point A to Point B, be fairly smoot but still have some ...

Tarquin Bjornsson

you don't need a threading attachment, just set your feed rate cut the pass, then pull the tool back real quick. then turn lathe of WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE FEED, run the lathe in reverse till you reach the other side of the thread, bring the tool back in and reverse the lathe. continue till done

Tarquin Bjornsson

if i knew what he twist was i might make an offer

Tarquin Bjornsson

i want the gaunlets, please email or PM me with pics

Tarquin Bjornsson

Tarquin Bjornsson

Well the hard part is done, now all i need to do is get the money together to get some leather so i can do the leatherwork properly.

sorry bout the shitty pics

It fits quite well rather form fitting i plan on adding some leatherwork to the bottom and redoing the straps (perhaps pteurges)
