Does anyone know what to call (ie what modern manufacturers/distributors call them) the washers used when attaching leather and steel? Also what are the two piece rivits (one goes inside the other) that are used alot in leather work called? I haven't had to order any in so long and wanted to search ...

Was this the style of gorget you bought?

I'm officially in love with plasma cutters. I just used one for the first time tonight and it is absolutely AWESOME!!!!

My theory - since these are used for auto body shops, many mechanics don't see the need for such a heavy duty shear and don't bid on them, leaving them for the crazy armouring types like us In my experience, being a mechanic, the sheet metal used in the automotive world is much too light to require ...

In order for it to be the disk from farm equipment wouldn't it have a hole in the middle?

When would this order be going in?

Thanks for the input. Originally this helm had a solid face, but I couldn't breathe/fight in it very well because of fighting in an open faced helm(bar grille)for so long and not fighting for almost two years. So I decided to take it off and put on a bar grille. Yep it's a mig. Also I use a 1" dowel...

Also curious if it was still possible to get in on this?

Would you have any idea how many plates it would take (aproximately) for someone who is 6' 3" 315lbs roughly? Rough estimates would be appreciated.

Do you have a pic of the bascinet? How big is it? By the way puttin' dibs on it pending pics and size info.

Bump!!

Was wondering if there was anyone interested in trading armour for auto repair. This would be in the philadelphia area.

Thanks

Used to fight quite regularly with the barony of bahkail, but haven't had the time to finish the armour I was workin' on. So I figured I'd see if anyone was interested in some repair work for some armour work.

I was wondering if anyone was in the philly area and would be interested in trading some automotive repair for armour.

Thanks,

What I'm looking for is basically formulas, or some such thing, for taking the measurments that you get and transfering them into useful dimensions in a pattern.

Does anyone have any helpful advice on how to use measurements to fit armour properly?
