Thanks!

I will see what I can do. But essentially the long straight edge goes down with the rounded curved section up and then centered across your back.

Torvaldr

Thanks for the feedback and review. I would love to see pics of you in your full kit.

Galileo, I am working on getting pics. But I am confused a bit about what kind of pics you want. Most of these are worn under something so getting "in action" pics you are not going to see anything. But here is a video of one of my friends fighting with one of my belts under his mail. m Lo...

I now have one of these in chocolate brown for immediate sale. The belt itself is 29 inches long and 6 inches high. It should work for waist sizes of 34 up to 42 inches.

Torvaldr

Responding to many requests I have added a new kidney belt design to my product list. The low profile kidney belt. Only 6 inches high, about the same coverage as a weight belt, but much more comfortable and protective. Made the same as my standard kidney belt with two layers of cowhide, and 16 gauge...

How about enough to make a scale shirt? Muhahahahahaha!

Thank you everyone And Hjalmir like you I feel like I am providing something of value to the fighters. I have to admit that I get a very distinct thrill when someone writes to me about how well my armor has protected them. I just recently received an email from someone about how my shovel greaves ha...

As many folks know there have been quite a few issues that have come up for me over the last 2 years. Health issues, which are a constant problem, and are not likely to change. Financial issues, which have pretty much been resolved, and are holding pretty good right now. (Knock on wood) As far as th...

I know I promised a production update. It is going to be another couple of days. We have been getting intermittent thunder storms up here and the humidity levels, combined with the amount of work I have been doing, has been wreaking havoc with my joints. Especially my hands. So please be patient a f...

Torvaldr

These gauntlets are sold. But I do have a couple of production slots opening up this week. As you can see quite a few orders have been completed in the last several days. Matthew, please do drop me a line and we'll talk.

Torvaldr

Well, I am having to adjust prices a bit. This is a pre-adjustment warning. Starting July 1st these items will increase. So if you want to #1, get the old price, and #2, be ahead of the Pennsic orders. You have until then to place an order Shovel Greaves $175.00 Quisses $100.00 Bazubands $150.00 Ful...

Torvaldr

The picture is not of the warped pair. But it looks like these are sold. That was fast

Torvaldr

This is a set of slightly defective hardened leather shovel greaves. I am still learning the little quirks and such of my new oven. They are entirely functional, but have little minor warpage issues that I find unacceptable to pass onto my customers in a normal transaction. So if you want a set of m...

I have one of my splinted kidney belts. Made from 2 layers of cow hide with 16 gauge mild steel splints sewn in. It currently does not have a belt attached and I can either attach one or put in belt loops to you can use your own. It is a medium dark brown. My camera is still dead so the picture belo...

Torvaldr

Hi, I am still not really up to make the whole project but I do sell scales in loose batches so you can get as many scales as you need. And I can drill them with as many holes as you need, where you want them. the only other thing I can think of is just making something that in essence is one of my ...

Torvaldr

Greetings. I am planning on being at the War Practice at Coopers Lake Saturday. I will not be merchanting, though is anyone wants to hook up with me, say hello, or place an order I will be running around in my full rig. Actually it will be more like ferociously ambling, but you get the idea. http://...

Torvaldr

I have a kit of dark brown hardened leather lamellar. I can sell you the kit for $250. It is in stock.

Torvaldr

Okay the slots are now filled.

Thanks

Torvaldr

These are from a canceled order. One pair of Large Dark Brown hardened leather full gauntlets. Made from 13 to 15 ounce vegetable tan leather and hardened in my multi stage process so they will not soften in sunlight. My camera is dead so the pictures below are from my photo gallery. Price $150 plus...

Torvaldr

Okay, one more slot has opened up. So if anyone is still interested...

Torvaldr

PMs and emails sent. If all the folks who expressed interest follow through, the que for these new prototypes is now closed.

However if anyone is interested in ordering my normal pattern bazubands they can still contact me.

Thanks!

Torvaldr

Shouldn't make any difference.

Torvaldr

I want to experiment with a slightly modified bazuband. These will have a slightly more streamlined, or low profile elbow. Currently the wings on my elbows come up pretty high past the sides of the elbow. I want to try making a couple with those wings a bit lower. They should still meet SCA regs. So...

Torvaldr

These are a canceled order. They are a set of my hardened leather bazubands, dark brown in color. They are made from 13 to 15 ounce vegetable tan leather and hardened in my multistage process and will not soften in sunlight. They will fit an arm with these measurements with room for padding. Around ...

If someone starts up an auction thread I will definitely contribute. Hjalmr the folks here are great at helping out when there is a need. They got me over a tough spell when I almost had to cash it in. And when I can I like to return the favor. I got no cash to play with but I can certainly donate s...

Torvaldr

Just to make it worse. He is truly ambidextrous. A royal pain in the butt.

Torvaldr

These are from a canceled order and are ready for immediate sale. They are black and will fit someone very tall. If the measurement from the top of your foot to the middle of your knee cap is 17 inches these will fit you. They come with a floating demi knee to cover the top of your knee when you ben...

Bump.

Hi Artus. I currently have a die for making tombstone style hardened leather lamellar and can get dies made for other styles. I also currently have 2 lamellar shirt kits in stock. One in blue and one in dark brown. The kits run $250 and have 300 pre-drilled lames, leather laces, lacing needle, buckl...

Torvaldr

I make hardened leather full gauntlets. They run $150.00 a pair, and in my biased opinion at least, are far superior to plastic.

Looking for Sir Fynn from Aethelmearc
