i have space in my commisions slot (permanently empty

). anyone want shields. come in various sizes and thicknesses(sp?). e-mail me for quotes and specifics. i also offer rough from the hammer bucklers. 18g 12" diameter.

Thomas H

i think it could be salvaged with some welding. that would eliminate the need for kaowool. the blower seems ok. just requires some elbow grease to remove all that rust.

Thomas H

i make shields. are they going to be used for combat. i live in the uk. that was my only concern. i could probably make a decorative helmet out of thin steel nothing too heavy. send me an e-mail and i'll see what i can do.

Thomas H

this is where i step in. what i do is cut the tip of the hron off until the hollow piece is just visible. then i take a drill and drill gradually larger holes. the larger the hole the more space your lips hav to vibrate and the deeper the sound. i use a number 7 drill bit that priduces a perfect siz...

Thomas H

Even if it is from east asia. what is it doing under a church in sacramento. Not some kind of forgery someone put there when the church was erected was it as a novelty.

Thomas H

I recently had my bow string snap and hade to make a new one on the spot. I tell you now that if you want a thick one it will be one hell of a long job. it took me about 3/4 of an hour to make one about a 1/4" thick. looking good as well. Any chance i can have a look at the insides. i've only made o...

I was thinking of gettig rid of belts altogether and using a rod attached to the motor then linked directly to the head arm. the head arm(weight on one end and rod on other) would pivot near the rod and the head would be able to swing on the other end if left to dangle.with me so far .The head would...

Thomas H

I am building myself a side draft hood for my forge. i wanted to know if it has to be right next to the fire or can it be raised about a foot over the fire.

Thomas H

Thomas H

who says you have to turn it. carve it out of a log.

Thomas H

Unfortunately typing things wrong on purpose doesn't work as an excuse.

Thomas H

sorry. i meant to say cast iron.

Thomas H

yeah Summits is right. once you have these your hammer collection will just grow on every project.

Thomas H

A large ball pien hammer is what i used to use. it works perfectly but there is so so much planishing to do. i then switched to a lump hammer wtih half a gae finial on either end. it's perfect for starting raising courses on large helms.

Thomas H

when it gets

ed it gets knocked to the top of the list.

Thomas H

I am about halfway through raising a corinthian helmet. it's hard to doo with the constant annealing though. what i did was to cut out an 18" diameter disk and form it to the top half of the helm. this portion contains the brow that sits just above the eyes. i am then going to cut out a skirt to wel...

Thomas H
