Here are the first layered bazubands and demis gauntlets. I will have some of these available at Pennsic at my table at the Pillaged Village.

Good. I am a little paranoid when it comes to problems with either my product or service. It is rare that the problem is with the product, and I am constantly working on trying to improve on the service.

Thanks

While its a great deal I better pass on the bands and gantlets I have already been disappointed by buying a set of both unseen already this year and I know you need cash so I pass on them. Hope you get what you need to make it to Pennsic! Disappointed in buying from me? I heard nothing about any pr...

Torvaldr

Wait until you guys see the new layered bazubands and demis gauntlets.

Torvaldr

It's not that I object to asking here, it is just that I do not always recieve notices from the AA that I have messages and replies here. And then there are times when I do not check the archive regularly enough. So you need to contact me directly to be sure I get the message. That's all. I just fin...

There is a remote possibility that I may have one lam kit with me at Pennsic. If I am able to make one, what color do you prefer?

Torvaldr

I added some new pictures up above, especially take a look at the new layered greaves.

Torvaldr

You supply the elbows and no problem.

Torvaldr

Well I think if I go this route it will be in a mixed fashion. I have leather elbows certainly, it will just be a matter of finding a good metal armorer who is willing to work on a barter basis for metal elbows. My finances are limited so even at whole sale prices I would not be able to order very m...

Torvaldr

I have the pattern but have not made any others to this point. No one had expressed interest in any. Until now.

Torvaldr

Okay, I had been toying with the idea, and someone else suggested it, adding a set of elbows to my new layered vambraces to make a second style of bazuband. I had thought about it by adding a set of my leather elbows, they suggested I find a supplier for either steel or aluminum elbows. So the quest...

Torvaldr

Magnus, I am going to be experimenting with that on the next couple of sets and will post pictures. The outside piece will also be good for tooling options as well.

Hrolf, Anytime my friend, anytime.

Torvaldr

Nick, they should still be done before I go, but please contact me directly for updates. Nee I am still making them, the time right now would be about 8 weeks since I could not start on it until I get back from Pennsic, but if you want one you should really order before I head out so that you will b...

Around your ankle while wearing your fighting footwear, Around your calf, and from the top of your foot where it meets your shin to the height that you want.

Torvaldr

I have to say I am VERY pleased with the way these turned out. They were an experiment to see if I could start using up all the 10 to 12 ounce scrap I have left over from the hides when I make bazubands and shovel greaves. The 10 to 12 ounce stuff is too think to make bazubands and shovel greaves fr...

Torvaldr

The new types will be layered like these. The best I could give you on time would depend on your measurements. If you fit the sets I am making as inventory for Pennsic I could get them to you right away. If you needed to order them, it would likely be 8 weeks or so since I could not start on them un...

Torvaldr

Just to let's folks know for sure I will be at Pennsic at the Pillaged Village. I will have a fairly decent amount of inventory this year. Maybe even some bazubands and shovel greaves.

I am now making layered vambraces and regular greaves. Here is the first set of layered vambraces. Made from 2 layers of 10 to 12 ounce veg tan leather sewn together. Hardened in my multi-stage process, they are hard as a rock! You could probably wear them as is without strapping, though I recommend...

For those who may not know, aside from being a leather armorer I am also an artistic performer, mainly a storyteller. I have a series of stories, parody/filk songs, and poems called the Viking Home Companion. I have been working to go mainstream with it and have been getting paying gigs now to perfo...

Torvaldr

I tried to get the word out. I contacted the Baron of Sacred Stone and another lady called Gisel I think had thought to try and put together a house show in the area while I was down there, but no one was able to follow through on it. I am more than happy to arrange for house shows just about anywhe...

Torvaldr

I am back and still catching up on emails. I was on the road all last week performing my Viking Home Companion show for the Sons of Norway lodges in Charlotte and Raleigh North Carolina, and then Virginia Beach Virginia.

Torvaldr

Depending on size I have some ready. If you wear a men's medium or large work glove. I have a pair of mediums in natural brown ready to ship and a pair of medium and large that just need to be dyed and hardened.

This is my personal helm. I am retiring from fighting and while it breaks my heart to let this helm go I need the money more than I need the helm. This helm was made by Master Sir Thomas Edmund of Reislip, an armoring Laurel from the West kingdom and a master fabricator welder. The crown is made fro...

Torvaldr

They are made from 2 layers of cowhide with 16 guage mild steel splints sewn into pockets and sealed around the edges. These are made with slots for using your own belt, but I can add a built in buckle and tongue for a additional $10.

Torvaldr
