ok. so good news today. I got the grill off and got a lucky break. My Grandpa did some scrounging around and found a hand full of steel rivets lurking in some dark corner of his shop. Had the old holes welded up and ground flat and got the new holes drilled. Sometime tomorrow i will get it all reas...

It appears that the TOMAR is still available.

Might be interested depending on what it is.

Can you get/post some more info on it? (brand, model, processor, hard drive, picture, what software comes with it, does it have the original OEM discs, etc.)

bigfredb

Thanks for the info.

Won't be in town over the weekend. Fortunately, headed home tonite (Thursday).

Since he lives in California, RJLeahy would be a much better choice than Mcmaster carr. The shipping for a box of rivets, cross country from Cali to ohio was like, $17 Not necessarily true. McMaster Carr has a store in Santa Fe Springs, CA (Orange County, CA?) that may be within a reasonable day tr...

Is there a store to buy leather (like tandy) near herndon/reston virginia?

I'm visiting on business and would like to pick up some small bits to work on.

I'd doubt that he's too busy to answer emails. He completed an awesome pair of Cuisses for me in the matter of 3 days after Ciad Crown List (2 weeks ago). If you are having trouble with the website I'll let him know and ask if I can forward on his email address to you. Yep, he's checking his emails...

Don't you worry. Club Seal will be rockin'

Sir Gareth just checked the email messaging from the website to ensure that it is working. Give it a try again.

If it doesn't work, PM me and I have his email address.

bigfredb

Baron Gareth probably is working on a big gambeson order (due in couple of weeks) and some post pennsic orders.

I don't think he is checking his email until he finishes the big order.

Looking for anything in particular, PM me and I will pass it along to him.

PW, Let it go!

PW, its all about respect.

Im looking at the #13 . . .

Does anybody have a pattern for a Churberg breastplate (and all of the other plates) like the ones from Icefalcon or truhearth?

If not, can someone describe how to develop a pattern that will look correct (what and where to measure)?

bigfredb

Still looking for stuff?

bigfredb

Magnus & Bigfred, I will politely disagree. 2 examples. Truehearth - $100 16 ga. MS with rolled edges and metal hinges Clang - $125 16 ga. MS Metal hinges and spring pin closure Bokalo? $72.50 each for aluminum, leather hinge vs $80.00 each for full 3/4 stainless arms... *Politeness off* scroll...

I've been doing a lot of research but many of the folks who make these seem to be very busy on long cues... I can't just buy off the shelf because I have thick and short arms. 10 1/2" from Elbow to wrist, 7 3/4 " around the wrist and 13" around the largest forearm diameter. I don't r...

So is it best to dye it blue or red first, then try to dye it black from there?

Awesome!

bigfredb

Buy black fabric. You're going to get frustrated and messy trying to dye white cloth black, and it will run when you wash it. Though since you are in Caid, if you really really want to try dying it black talk to Bjo. (Griffin dye works) If anyone can show you how, it's her. But unless you're seriou...

bigfredb

Not sure of the exact content of the fabric. It is a light uphostery fabric, most likely cotton.

bigfredb

I went to the fabric district in Los Angeles and found some really cool fabric (in white) for $1.99/yd. I bought all that was left. I want to make a party color cotehardie (white and black). I test dyed a piece of the fabric with RIT dye and it turned out purple. I tried using a higher concentration...

Still available. Bit too small for me, bummer.
