I gotta find out who has my old one and see if they want to sell it back to me...

You can always just order a new one

Clangs vervelles are excellent, amazingly uniform for each one being hand made.
I like that they are fairly "stubby" as I think they will be less inclined to shear off.
And of course maille from Knuut simply rocks.

Friedrich's post has made me get off my rear end and give Adam some more good feedback. I first approached him a year ago about making a bascinet like Friedrich's. At the time I had jumped to the conclusion very quickly not having put thought into it. Adam dealt with my never ending stream of quest...

A breastplate from Cet will already have a decent finish as his process does not mar the surface much.
If you are not after a super smooth mirror surface you could 220 it then go to sisal with emery paste.
You should roll your edges and these areas will require more than 220.

Last year I paid my ransom with silver coin and a Priory Action Figure.
One obviously a serious ransom, and one to be fun, both to the same individual.

Excellent !!!

My gauntlets are mild, they do not deform at all. Articulations with no gaps hold up well as the top piece is supported by the piece beneath. Many SCA gauntlets get beat up fast because at some point through the range of motion there is a gap between the pieces, if the gauntlet is struck where there...

I paid 125.00 for the book when it was first released.
You can find the hard cover for 175.00 and up.
Amazon lists one at roughly 175.00 and the other at about 220.00
Insure your books people.

Arms and Armour in the Medieval Teutonic Order's State in Preussia - Andrzej Nowakowski

I have exhausted my search abilities, any help would be appreciated

Thanks, great images

Yes, a small sharp piece will stick out of the rivet head I don't use a rivet set, Schreiber does. Either way a small curved piece of steel like a tiny fingernail clipping will curve off the rivet head after peening, the result is very sharp but very hard to see. I don't think Schreiber or I can des...

Buy a roll the desired width.
I bought a roll of 1050 roughly 1.5 inches wide that way when I build my 15th cent brig I am mostly just cutting to length and drilling holes

white mountain armoury

I will send them a note.
I buy from them for the same reason, I can have my order sometimes in less than 24 hrs

Surprised that cav helm is still around

white mountain armoury

I agree.

The top image is of a harness made by Chris Gillman of Global Effects. He posts here on occasion. I believe it was in the movie "Haunted House" along with other armours he constructed. The second image is likely inspired by Italian "Heroic" armours made by Philippo Negroli and hi...

white mountain armoury

For me it is the rivet head, any deformation of the head causes a small and hard to see "curl" of material that is very sharp. You would not want to brush your hand over the surface to feelk for it as you will get cut. It does not happen all the time, but enough where you can get pretty cu...

I wish everyone looked so good.

white mountain armoury

Yes, I cut myself constantly on stainless rivets from McMaster
I use 1/8th in round head from them, a curl of material forms on the head when peening.
I have to go over each head when done checking for it so I don't have an injured customer.

white mountain armoury

I never made the center plates, A customer had a bunch of them made up and I purchased some.
I don't know if I have any left, although I hand cut them for folks before.

Make sure you use linen, even my cop is linen, that will help a lot wit the heat.
Still hot is hot

Do you by chance remember where you saw that? Yes, Kalle, we're going to need you to go take pictures, ASAP! Munz that's a great kit, bravo! Does anyone know the relevance of the tunic being short in the front and long in the back? I see it relatively frequently but never thought to ask the logical...

The mock up looks good.
Keep in mind if you plan on having an aventail you will need to have a little extra width so the visor will shut properly.
My helms were inspired by a variety of helmets in the "Romance of Alexander"

I feel stupid, don't know why I'm confessing this, but . . . When I first started reading this I thought the reference was to a style of body armour that was used in ancient Greece (such as what the Spartans probably were wearing at Thermopylae). No, no . . . that's a LINOTHORAX! D'Oh! (slaps self ...

Man, that blackened Sugarloaf is awesome! Exactly my size. Exactly what I want. And way out of my price range at the moment. If I am reading things correctly, this is a standard item, correct? If you don't happen to have one like it in stock when I am ready to buy (probably a couple of months - bon...
