Sorry about that---I just wanted to save you from making a costly mistake. The only documentable evidence of riveted lamellar is at the Wisby grave site...and that was just lamellae riveted to a cloth backing like brigandine. Along side this in the burial pit was a suit of traditionally laced lamell...

WARNING: DO NOT RIVET LAMELLAR TOGETHER. YOU WILL LOSE THE FLEXIBILITY, AND HAVE A LARGE, FLAT PLATE---THEREBY MAKING THE ARMOUR USELESS. I cannot stress this enough. It will not wrap properly around your body. It will not flex. It will be useless, until you drill the rivet...

Clay: This is what I'd do (in fact, plan to do) with my own harness. Keep in mind that much depends on the era of the Crusades you mean to portray. ⋅ A long-sleeved hauberk with an attached coif and ventail. It should be full enough for a substantially padded aketon. It should also have a ...

De La Haye:

I recommend contacting JT (the administrator of the Armour Archive) to get a home@ArmourArchive.org webpage. I can forward the JPEGs of your work, so you can have a proper site to display your work, and to add new items.

Templar Bob/De Tyre

To all: Several months ago, I had been asked by Mr. Norwalt to scan some photos he'd taken...samples of his work at the forge. I scanned them into my computer and converted them into JPEG format. These photos can now be viewed: [img]http://home.armourarchive.org/members/de_tyre/DeLaHaye/photo01.jpg[...

To all: Back in July, I commissioned to build an aluminum lamellar klibanion for a friend of Conrad the Mad's. Had the lamellae lying about the house, and intended to get the suit built and to him right after Pennsic. Well, the world went to hell immediately following Pennsic (e. g., my father's dea...

Hal: My honour horn is lined with a food-safe polymer. And (having tested it on my favorite Weisbier, Paulaner Hefe-Weissen) it doesn't affect the taste one bit.

Irish:

A helm worn by a Russian is very little different from one worn by a person doing a Byzantine persona impression. Likely, you have a conical nasal-style helmet. But, as they say, â€œthe devil is in the detailsâ€
