Historically, there is no archeological research that indicates that smart phones or their apps existed during the Middle Ages.

Re: rus helm with face
A slight furrow of the brow, a little squaring of the bottom lip and some teeth would give you the more "sinister" look you are talking about but I like this as it is. I like that these sculptures have a life of their own and you are simply releasing them from the steel. Your skills in this style a...

I'm a squire. I have no rank based on my Baldric. I didn't look for a belt or a social ranking. I found the SCA and my knight and I were quick to be friends.

Re: facing and edging an aluminum shield with rawhide?
For the Edging, use car door trim. Works great.
For the Face, you can make a cover that also goes over the edging with your device on it. Will make you look very spiff!!

Don't want to let these go, but need money to pay for bills as the holidays approach. A pair of lightly used black leather tall boots. They say size 14 but are actually more like an 11 1/2 - 12.

Re: Tool Choice
Thanks for the help. Some of the things I am looking to make are - Plates for a Coat of Plates - A Bascinet and Visor(s) - Gauntlets So I would expect that I will be working in 14-16 gauge (mostly). I have a good Jigsaw already, but wanted something that would be easier for metalwork (if it exists).
