George they are forbidden because they are thin, 16 ga helms are rare.
They are hard because they are case hardened.
Even if they were allowed they do not look like their medieval counterparts

I have a roman ridge in stock but its a light infantry helm not the heavy cav helm. The cheeks are a little long on this helm and ive been thinking about changing them them. Its listed on my site but is priced higher than he wants to spend, but we might be able to negotiate on this particular helm. ...

The term soup can is used alot around here, bit i think its being applied to the wrong cop shape, yours look nice, very nice, others have posted similar cops and called them soup cans. This is the cop i feel deserves the title coup can http://www.hammeredsteel.com/gaa/armour/periodpics/1200s/13thckn...

I would definatly see about getting a diff helmet, as others have said it is way to short. Im not here to plug my work with this pic, i just thought it would serve as a good visual as to a decent fit, as you can see it would be a great deal more difficult to slide a weapon under this helm.

Stump, there was a post here a while ago and it featured an image of a dog armour for a russel terrier, Ii had a sort of napoleanic cuirassier look to it, i believe it is a moder reconstruction and im not sure what its based on. Chef de Chambre can tell you about it. Thats all i recall from hte thre...

I will be building 2 briggs eventually, accurate enough in appearance for use in Wolfeargent. I will be using 1050 for the plates and will tin them as well. But first i will build my arm harness which will be quite similar the childs arms posted here and built by Wade. Once complete ill start on my ...

white mountain armoury

Ill give it some thought Vitus, but im not sure about covering pieces that were not traditionally covered like spaudlers and the like.
I do have a friend who make excellent aluminum armour but his shapes may not be as accurate as i think might require.

Looks good Gundo, what welding method are you using on the morion. By the way i realy envy you being close to Tom and Wade, ive found it can be a challenge learning some of the more complex techniques unassisted, it makes me appriciate the archive. Thankfully my involvement with Wolfeargent makes ha...

white mountain armoury

I agree having an o/a for welding and heating is a wonderful thing, hot metal moves much easier, The learning curve for i mig is much smaller though. As for brands Hobart purchased Miller, youll get good quality from both. My brothers miller 250 is probably 20 years old and has yet to need anything ...

you could make a camaille attatched to a leather strap, rivit this strap inside the helmet.
http://www.thegreenman.net/wma/ghelmmaille.jpg
this helm has caused some heated debate as to the authenticity of the maille, many claiming it was likely added after possibly when the helm was painted.

i think breaths arranged in a more linear fashion as opposed to a "starburst" pattern would look fine. I arrange my breaths on graph paper first, then i punch the breaths in the paper and lay it over the visor and fill in the dots with a marker, if everything looks fine i make the holes, try diff pa...

white mountain armoury

Part of the answer is in how often do you plan on welding , and what you plan on welding, if you plan on making the occasional helmet, maybe fixing an exhaust system and other occasional fixes a smaller welder is fine, if you plan on using it alot like having it be a part of how you earn a living th...

white mountain armoury

If you post em to the internet kiss em goodbye. Ultimatly if you want to make a living as an armourer you need to learn to pattern your self. One of the reasons i dont post my patterns is not because i dont want someone earning money from my work, its that i dont want someone to see a helemt and ass...

realy cool stuff.

He did recieve a shot like that, it does not bother him in the least, you can see on his arm just below the tatoo where he took one.
Wolf is a very large rugged guy and seems just as happy being hit on bare skin as being hit on his armour.
His upper arms are the same size as Mutts upper legs.

Excellent, ive archived all the pics, hope you dont mind.

here is a link to a good friend of mine, i spent 8 years as a slip trail artist in a very large salt glaze production pottery, met alot of cool people. My friend Jeff here is one of the more talented potters that ive met, look for the medieval pottery link
