I bought a bead roller from lowbuck tools out of california specifically for making the brow band on my cav helms, it beads and steps flanges 16 ga with no complaints, and was cheap at around 250.00
I have yet to use it for anything else armour related.

The sallet in question was delivered with no method of securing the visor, the the visor fasteners are a result of the customer, not illusions, although being advertised as an sca helm a method of keeping the visor shut should have been provided. I struck the sallet in question with a single shot th...

If you are going to go through the hastle of ordering from a Czech armoury Id reccomend MJ, excellent quality, some of his 14th cent stuff looks kinda odd but his 15th cent work is nice quality

Actually Sam at Wolfeargents last Fiore seminar there were a few sca knights, i dont recall any Wolfeargent members shitting on them, infact we had a good time together, even ate at the same table. There are a few Wolfeargent members that are active in the sca, Chef has yet to be critical of our inv...

Your plan sounds fine Tim, I do something similar with my current harness and have no complaints, Actually i had one guy keep hitting me low, when i asked what the deal was he said its not his fault since my knees were hidden and as a result targeting was difficult. Im hoping with a few mods ill be ...

Olaf, i remember how you commented that a poster had to be drunk to have made specific claims, it followed my gorget comment. Corbin pointed out that i am pouring gas onto the fire, and hes right, i guess i am, but its because i so know where Bob is comming from, with one diff being i persisted and ...

Lol, Gee Olaf a little on the definsive or what, "You donâ€™t like me and youâ€™ve only been vaguely polite in your snide comments about me (guillotines, for one, come to mind). I have to admit that I really donâ€™t care what your feelings are on this subject" My comment about a particular gorget be...

"extremly offended" gimme a break, and of course you would not hear anyone on this board put down mail and great helms, this place is for armour enthusiasts. As for Bobs experience, well i dont doubt it in the least, ive run into the same thing in many places, i tried to join in the early 80's and w...

Actually my helm has been shown to a marshal from Caid and the crest is an issue, as for Ugos helm being a problem thats not unlikely, I have also heard from a reliable source that the issue also pertains to gallic/itallic ear ridges and the broad rigid tails. Thats a big part of my issue, it is so ...

Will, i need some 15th cent belt hardware as well as purse weights, i have not checked out Jeff and Gwens site in a while so im not sure if they have what i want, but since i have to mail you your helmet when ive finnished it i can likely send you a spoon, ill see if they have what i need.

No Saint its not a shot at Ugo's helm, read the initial post and follow the link, its about more than just any one helm, The helmet being addressed by the poster is one of mine. As the builder of the helm in question you all can imagine where i stand, 1 step forward twards greater authenticity, 2 st...

Im not Chef but ill field a few of the questions.
It is an armet, it splits at the chin, the cheek pieces hinge upward.
It was made by Jeff Hedgcock of historic enterprises.
I believe there are pics of it on Jeffs site

if you e-mailed me im sorry i did not return the mail, im just very very busy and not taking orders right now and the e-mails just seem to pile up.

white mountain armoury

I disagree with the disagreement http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif I have seen some excellent sca plastic armour, but but very little, most of what ive seen was hastily tossed together and would not have looked any better if correct materials were used. As with so many sca armours its a fas...

I do not believe Bascot was trolling at all, he has no need to bait people, he states his oppinions quite clearly for all to hear instead of dropping hints of dislikes waiting for others to fall upon. As for why there are no groups like this in the us, well there are but they are small, and growing,...

While ive not had the pleasure of recieving a combat instruction from Ron, id like to point out that he has offered me quite a few pointers on armouring, ive made many inquiries to armouring laurels and got no responce, Ron on the other hand was happy to share tips and tricks.
