the problem is that aluminum isnt as hard as steel so the bars would have to be thicker then the usual so it would be a very bulky lookin hilt. i have seen one before,it didnt look that good. also after welding it you will have to have it retempered or the bars will be super soft.

GuntherofOrkney

GuntherofOrkney

GuntherofOrkney

well the wight is stupid light,not sure but everyone that feels them are amazed on how light they are. Light doesnt mean weak in this case,these have gotten hit hard and there isnt a single dent and i will polish out any small scratches from the 4 or so times i used them. With the leg straight from ...

if you blue or blacken the helmet then your gonna blend into all the other fighters. ADD brass to the helmet or just leave it shiny.

GuntherofOrkney

Evander-i have never sold brands gear for him,i didnt get into armoring until after he quit,I couldnt bring myself to compete with the guy who showed me how to armor. Everyone else-thanks for the praise but i am no longer taking orders. As of right now my back log is long and i need to cut it down. ...

GuntherofOrkney

the flutes stick out about 1/4" and are 1/2' wide,i would say if your careful it shouldnt be that hard.

GuntherofOrkney

I am no longer taking orders,i am too far behind. The heater shield is not strapped and it would be edged like normal,its just a normal shield but with flutes on it.

GuntherofOrkney

bump for new lower price,this isnt much above materials cost for these items.

GuntherofOrkney

i need a really shallow dish,like about the dish of a breastplate.

GuntherofOrkney

This helmet isnt spoken for yet so the dibs is yours. I am talking to owen about another helmet design for him,since i am friends with him.

GuntherofOrkney

it might fit you,we pretty much have the same size melons. I am 23.5inches. its made out of 14ga stainless and the dome is made out of 4 plates so there is a weld down the middle also. The push button has only come open on me twice and thats from the perfect shot. I can easily add a second onto the ...

GuntherofOrkney

GuntherofOrkney

GuntherofOrkney

i can make what you need,what size and shape and how assembled do you mean,rdy for combat?

GuntherofOrkney

i have been fighting with greaves for most of the 14yrs i have been fighting and i have experienced the same thing you are. to fix this i just added a strip of thick leather at the bottom just like your talking about doin,it works great!

GuntherofOrkney

i bet you could shop around and have them made for super cheap and sell the heck out of these,i know if the price was right me and like 10 of my friends would buy them.

GuntherofOrkney

Owen yes they are. When i worked for brand we stopped doin them because they add alot of work to add them. I decided to go ahead and add them onto my greaves now and they are a pain but i think with the tools i got its not that hard to do but with aluminum i got to becareful to not crack it when i f...
