I make hardened leather lam plates that can come in red, green, blue, black, natural brown, and dark brown. They are made from 8 to 9 ounce veg tan leather, and hardened in my wax mix that has a melting point of 180 degrees. So these will not get soft in sunlight. In fact I have several customers wh...

Sir Guy, I haven't made any but I can easily enough. By the by your demis are coming post haste! I have a pattern in mind for one, but just haven't done it yet. Sin Fergus, the black one is spoke for now, but the black and green, and brown ones are still available. If you really want black I can mak...

Torvaldr

No sorry. These are the same ones I had on the table and are the medium/large. I can certainly make you a set though.

Torvaldr

The only way I could do $50 a pair is if I had gotten the leather for free, or donate all my labor. So if she can do that, she must have a good leather source.

I have very sad news to impart. On the battle field on Saturday at the Estrella War Odin decided that a warrior deserved a seat in the Hall of Valhalla. A newer member of the War unit and Household Starcoffin died from a heart attack. He collapsed at near the end of the final resurrection battle of ...

email sent to Vitus. I will post some pictures of the newest design later today. It is not a lot different than my original set, but the thumb has been dished a bit for more comfort and function, and the cuff has been rounded.

Torvaldr

There is a gentleman in Wilmington who would like a chance to see my gauntlets in person and I wondered if anyone lived ner enought o him with a set willing to work out a meeting?

Please contact me by pm if you can help out.

Thank you.

Most of the weapon smiths I know charge about $50.00 per inch for a pattern welded blade. So if your seax's blade is 4 inches it would run about $200.00

Torvaldr

Well I will be there, but I don't know how much stock I will have on hand. What are you looking for?

I still have one set of natural brown and a single black cop all in medium size.

Hello, I have a suggestion for your wife's cane. How about a hame ball? I have a rather heavy one on mine, but they have different styles, sizes and shapes. I have a pear shaped one I would be willing to part with. Here is a link to a page with several different styles. The one I have is on the bott...

Lianor, I have a black splinted kidney belt size 38 to 48 inches $65.00, a medium black elbow cop $20.00, an arming belt size 38 to 44 inches $50.00, and that is about it. I have not had a lot of time to make stock. Not even for Estrella. I may end up only having one of everything I make there and t...

Hi. here is how you attach them. Put on your fighting boots and knee pads and then the greaves. Put your foot up on a chair and slide the demi knee into place, round side down, towards the knee until it meets the inside of the shovel knee. Mark on the inside of the knee directly across from where th...

Torvaldr

Yes, I got it. Thanks. Your demis are done it is just a matter of finishing the tooling on the vambraces.

I wish that was always an option. But when I have this much unpaid and the option is get kicked out of house, lights turn off, heat is cut, or ship armor... And I never said I used customer B's payment to ship customer A's armor. I use the final payment from Customer A to ship Customer A's gear, exc...

Torvaldr

I have a deadline. As mentioned above it is 30 days once you are notified that the item is finished. I try to take into account that someone may have run into financial troubles. Like I have. So I try not to be too hard nosed about it. What hurts is the way it affects other customers. Deposits are u...

Torvaldr

What I am waiting on is final payments. I do take deposits, and they are non-refundable once work on the item begins. Once the item is done, I notify them and wait. And in this instance, wait, and wait, and wait... The problem is with this much not paid, it is forcing other customers to wait, and wa...

Torvaldr

Yes you are in there, and one of the people at the top of the list. Just waiting for some more leather.

Torvaldr

That is why I always wait to personal checks to clear before I do anything. I mainly use paypal, or request money orders. I have an $800.00 check bounce once. I got paid eventually, but decided to never go through that again.

Torvaldr

One pair bazubands
One pair shovel greaves
One scale coat
2 mantle gorgets
2 kidney belts

These are some of them

Torvaldr

Actually I have been hoping you would contact me. When the archive crashed I lost contact with you. Your gaunts are sitting right here ready to ship. I need your address. I just hope I have enough on hand to add them to the orders going out. Please send me your address again.

Thanks

Torvaldr

In response to one question so far. I have not put the completed, but unpaid, order up for sale yet because I have a policy of holding a completed order for 30 days before I consider it abandoned. So the clock is running for some of them. As I said one of the customers has been in touch, but the res...

Torvaldr

For the bazubands? Yup.

Torvaldr

Those are the floating cops. I will send you instructions for attaching them. I thought I already had, but with things the way they are right now I might have forgotten.

Torvaldr

As of now I am dead in the water. I have more than $1200.00 in customer payments past due. $400 that was to be paid last week, and now $800.00 that was to be paid this week. Only one of those customers has even responded to me. I know I have been a bit sketchy in keeping in touch with folks, that is...

Torvaldr

email, not pm, sent. or you can email me at skaldtorvaldr@yahoo.com I have 2 kidney belts in stock that might work.
