the SS barbute auction is ending friday about 4pm pst. the viking/norman is sold.

GuntherofOrkney

personally from my experience i would use 18ga stainless,16ga mild and at least 0.80 alum. that would make these hold up to combat pretty good. i think this is a great idea,i like kits.

GuntherofOrkney

well i made the following kids helmet out of 16ga (0.63) 6061 t6 alum and riveted it together with pretty soft alum rivets. the helmet is very sturday and light. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/GuntherofOrkney/476448680_1668573340_0.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/GuntherofOrkn...
