DAVID01

I've never handled one, but in SS it's under $200 and they look great.

I might get one as a loaner.

I didn't see anything but action figures at the above addy

Thanks for the heads up, your a nice guy. I hope once I start making a little cash on my new hobby, I can start doing business with you.

DAVID01

Sir Gaston,
When are artists like you going to video tape yourselves doing things like this, so we can actually watch and learn? Hell i'm sure there are a lot of us who would pay for it.

Oh, well...

(not just talking about this topic)

I don't guess I understand how anyone scared him off Gregory. I read all his posts and it seems everone was very nice to him.

DAVID01

Their not as pretty but sure look like the same pattern.

Hmm hard question,Timex last quite some time and I see more of them around

I don't think this would be a good comparison, but I do know that Jiri does some fine looking Armour.

DAVID01

polarbearforge,

Thank you for this information, these are perfect. I think maybe I "will" try to make a tong if it works out then I can make them as I need them.

DAVID01

Halberds, how could you have not stated the size/dimensions right from the start? And bidders, what made you bid without knowing if it would fit you? <laughing and shaking head> That being said, it's a fine looking helmet. I always enjoy seeing the wonderful stuff you come up with, Hal. I think the...

DAVID01

Actually I thought about taking a large pair of pliers and welding long sticks of 1/4" tubing over the handles. As far as making my own tools I guess I should at least try it, I have saved plenty pics to go from.

DAVID01

Losthelm, I am just getting started in this so I don't know how to make them yet. Once I get a few maybe I can figure out how its done. I am just gonna start simple and try my hand at R/R spike knives. I plan to try a couple of Sax or langsax (sp) Useing some old leaf springs from an old 40 modle tr...

DAVID01

Who has blacksmith tongs just laying around they'd sell cheap? Anyone have extras they don't use? anyone have any they'd like to just get out of the way? Need tools, could use a tong for holding R/R spike.

Thanks,David

DAVID01

Nice looking helm Guill.... You sure have your spangens down nice. Best of luck on the sale..... I can hardly give my spangens away with $89.00 knock offs in all the catalogs. Hal Like me though Hal, they'll not be happy with the wasted money. Especially when waste money don't come along often. The...

DAVID01

Are these worth buying for a beginer? sorry I ment to ask if the others were worth buying for starter tools. I gotta get as cheap as possable. Didn't take in that they were so far away.

Thanks, that's what I suspected.

Hal, I just popped in for a min. and saw this thread back up. It took me back to the shield Kyle made. Hey how bout shield kits like that one,with a tutorial? Just a thought. I'd love to have one like that with my own design on the front. Later, David

I had decided not to post here too often if at all but after viewing these costumes, I wanted to just quickly say. Awsome! I think this is what it's all about.

DAVID01

Just thought these pics would be interesting to some.
