wow thats nice. did you hot work it or cold work it.

GuntherofOrkney

i will get some today.

GuntherofOrkney

i just did a quick link for that supplier,didnt look too closely at what it was hehe.

GuntherofOrkney

from my armpit to wrist is 22inches and the gambeson goes 3inches farther.

GuntherofOrkney

its 14ga stainless steel with just alittle overlapping on the sides and the weld down the middle. Very sturdy helmet. I actually only used it a few times and couldnt get it padded to the way i like my helmets to fit. It doesnt have any dents and no big scratches,just handling scratches. I will excep...

GuntherofOrkney

I am still trying to sell or trade this helmet

GuntherofOrkney

its the gambeson with no padding added,it feels very sturdy. the arms are longer then mine,they go to my knuckles which would be good for you uther but i could leasure it for you.

GuntherofOrkney

Well i just received my black XXL westland gambeson from the trimaris order. It fit me great everywhere but my arms. Its alittle tight on my forearms and biceps but I do have rather large arms. I got 18inch biceps and 15inch forearms and a 53inch chest but it fits fine in the chest. I would like wha...

GuntherofOrkney

well it doesnt seem like a great price to me but http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=18478&step=4&showunits=inches&id=1292&top_cat=1 i had that linked. I am also looking for a cheap supplier of 410 stainless sheet.

GuntherofOrkney

those are nice gambesons. can they come without the neck?

GuntherofOrkney

this is still available

GuntherofOrkney

This is still up for sale and I am considering trades. I am looking for chainmail or other SCA related non armor items.

GuntherofOrkney

you can attach to spaulders to the shoulder strap of a breastplate,attach to the side of a gorget or mount to a gambeson/arming jacket.

GuntherofOrkney

still up for sale.

GuntherofOrkney

GuntherofOrkney

GuntherofOrkney

thanks and it pisses me off that i am selling it. the visibility is great and its very maneuverable but i just have no neck!!!

GuntherofOrkney

I am selling or trading my personal SS visored sugarloaf its just too small for me. It has a leather drape with red bottom edging,I am 23.5inches for my head. So any head size just barely smaller or at least a longer neck would fit this helmet. I have had the visor pop open on me a couple times from...

GuntherofOrkney

WOOHOO!!!!!!!! Wait now i actually got to find some time to build my own armor,dam why do i have so many customers hehe.

GuntherofOrkney

yes thats a very nice lookin helmet. tempted to buy it myself,add a grill to it and spiff it up some and sell it for $600 hehe.

GuntherofOrkney

thanks,when i get some spare cash i will order a tube of satin glo and see if its alot better then the generic type.

Question about applying it. do you melt the satin glo in a container then apply it hot to the wheels or just apply it like buffing compound then let it dry completely??

GuntherofOrkney

I am hearing about this stuff but i got a generic type of it and it was hard to use and wasted alot of it to get it to work for a very short time. I mainly work in stainless steel and aluminum and I am trying to find better ways to polish stuff. I currently use 2x72inch scotch brite belts on my belt...

GuntherofOrkney

This shield is very cool,i think i am gonna have to work on something cool for myself,maybe a phoenix(my personal device)on my 14th century shoulders.

GuntherofOrkney

i take payments all the time from paypal and never have heard of an Echeck. I will look out for them and check my paypal account now. Could it be your type of paypal account is different so you can receive them?

GuntherofOrkney

i personally wear leather vambrace that isnt super thick,like 6 to 7oz. but its double layered and i got mousepad glued to the inside which offers great protection and its pretty light.

GuntherofOrkney

get it powder coated. otherwise paint it with whatever is cheapest i think because its gonna come off and you will have to touch it up alot. get a paint that you can match it with some paint brush paint for touch ups. If you could powder coating it the best solution and aluminum takes powder coating...

GuntherofOrkney

what can you make in trade,I like doin trades. Anything for use in the sca is good,let me know whats possible.

GuntherofOrkney

thanks for the update,crossing my fingers to getting mine in 2 weeks for a tourney.

GuntherofOrkney

the price is fine if the quality is there. If its very nice then you can charge more if not then charge less.

GuntherofOrkney

I really like that design.

GuntherofOrkney

take a peice of wood and sand a bowl into it,burn it with a torch after its formed just to char the outer layer,then take your lightly rounded hammer head and pound on in for a bit. This will harden the wood a good amount so when dishing metal in it you will have alot less deformation. Thats also go...

GuntherofOrkney

top cap looks nice,i would guess with a craftsman like yourself it was worth the effort.

GuntherofOrkney

I didnt buy them,they are my friend but when I got into his shop they werent a perfect finish,i sanded out a very small lump in the bottom middle of the big one and have yet to sand any of them smooth. For the dishes I only use the 2 big ones,the smallest one is just too deep and could use about a h...
