i messed up the sizing. the wrist size cant be accurate considering my wrist is bigger then that. they fit me snug and i have a 7.5 inch wrist and a 13inch at the thickest part of my forearm. i am 11.5 from wrist to elbow and these sit perfect for length on me.

I made a set of aluminum arms for myself and need to sell them. They are made of 0.100 6061 t6 aluminum. they are dished cannons with a flute down the center and a leather upper,also with flared edge elbows. these weigh nothing and are really protective.(i have never used them.) I am lookin to get $...

i have a b1 b2 and b3 beverly shear and i wanna get a good band saw for cutting out patterns. the band sand doesnt tweek the metal like a shear does.

I have alot of experience with aluminum armor an no coloring system works well,it tends to scratch off easy. my advice is find a color method you like thats easy and cheap to touch up. leather dye is a good option and you can do colors with it for cheap.

I have an aluminum heater shield my budy gave me to sell. I added the 3 flutes on it for increased rigidity,helps a little shield stop a blow better. Its made from 0.100 thick 6061 t6 aluminum and is 19" wide by 28.5" long. has a good curve to it also. I am asking $70.00 plus shipping. htt...

I need money for materials and shipping costs badly. I have some leather vegi tanned leather and aluminum splints for the vambraces and i also have the aluminum for a set or 2 of elbows. Splinted alum vambraces with a simple fanless aluminum elbows $120. add $20 for polishing. add $20 for a fan(circ...

because when you pad the cheeks right you get locked into the helmet and it provides a more solid padding system then a chin strap,safest type of helmet i have ever fought in.

I made this one a while back and have 3 more new ones finishing up soon. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/GuntherofOrkney/mongol01.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/GuntherofOrkney/mongol03.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/GuntherofOrkney/mongol04.jpg

very nicely done matt. do you use the cheap leather rivets for easy of use or because they are really cheap? I use soft aluminum brazier head rivets from RJ leahy. http://www.rjleahy.com/ these are very strong for most applications but not for articulation. they are really easy to set also.

I would say this set is medium sized. I am lookin to get $80 plus shipping and they dont appear to be used more th...

i personally wear goaly hockey gloves and are plenty of protection. i have seen people make clamshells to fit over them also. I have seen a person sew chainmail on top of hockey gloves also,looked cool.

Are you lookin for more protection or a different look?
