Split down the middle length ways. Cut the resulting pieces to , say, 1 inch lengths (depending on size of pipe), flatten slightly, drill fixing holes and smooth the edges etc, a little shaping - you've got great copper scales for armour. Worked for me - no pics unfortunately.

Bevor guage (SCA)

What guage steel should be used for a bevor in SCA combat - 16 or thicker? Or is 18 allowable. Can't seem to find this, but am assuming it has to be 16 or thicker.

Thoughts on this sallet?

Looks pretty good to me. Not sure about the highly visible weld inside.
Anyone recognize this? Know the armourer/seller?

Most amusing dance was on my apprenticeship. One of the mechanical appos (grease monkey) about 17, decided it would be cool to burn the leather off of his boots, as had others, exposing the steel toecap.
