I just finished my new tourney full legs. made of 0.100 thick 6061 t6 aluminum. I added a bunch of flutes on the thighs so they will hold up super well in combat. I will be using them this weekend at great western war. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff194/GuntherofOrkney/leg14.jpg[/img] [im...

new pics

GuntherofOrkney

the brass was etched by my friend neal at north hammer armory. The stainless isnt blackened its just dark in my shop when i took the pics. I am not happy with how deep the elbows are either but with having the lames its gonna work out good. the vambraces seem beefy but they are actually kinda slende...

I just made a set of shoulders and arms for a local fighter and friend and they turned out very good. the arms are 18ga but heavily formed for added strength and i hope they hold since the owner is pretty new. the rest is 16ga stainless,lots of rolled edges and some flutes,i dont want them to just g...

i dont know how much spun tops are but pre dished helmet halfs are not that expensive and worth the money compared to actually dishing your own. It is not that hard to make a functional helmet that wont get you killed but to make a nice helmet that isnt lopsided starts to get hard. I make a good amo...

GuntherofOrkney

i will stop by and check out your booth again,good to have you out here.

GuntherofOrkney

what about putting the the curved bar after the arrow then the straight bar?

One thing i dont understand is why is the arrow flat on top,shouldnt it be a cone?

GuntherofOrkney

velcro? sew a narrow strip to the headband and then glue the other side to the helmet. no holes and if done right will hold great and you wont see it.

GuntherofOrkney

as I said last time you posted this I can make what you need.

GuntherofOrkney

i perfer to roll my edges before i form my parts. I roll them over about 10 to 20% less then full and the forming mostly finishes the rest. I am working on some arms this week and will get pics out soon and all the rolls were done before forming.

GuntherofOrkney

I have a pair of flared edge(soupcan)knees with a flute down the center. its got 4 holes for mounting to a thigh and a single buckle strap on it. I was planning on using it for myself but decided to go with different legs. I am asking $100 for these knees. [img]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff1...

GuntherofOrkney

depends what type you want. steel wire are the cheapest but heavy. aluminum are spiffy looking and light and then theres the plastic baldar cup hilts which are the lightest. Icefalcon has them all. http://store.fastcommerce.com/render.cz?method=category&categoryId=ff80808117344aab011752db5ac2016...

GuntherofOrkney

its like aluminum,its light and protective and looks great for a while but you got to clean it up alot to keep it lookin good.

GuntherofOrkney

12ga stainless steel is $45
12ga mild steel is $30
back,middle or front points add $20
Crested tops add $40
welded and ground down for specific size add $50

i use to buy from rough from the hammer and its great quality stuff. I know sell helmet halfs since my powered hammer is runnin

GuntherofOrkney

I dont mean to cheapen peoples victories on the field by saying there was issues with calibration. The victors are most of the time the cleanest fighters of the day. There have been and will be issues with people not taking shots and i dont believe it cheapens the honorable victors i think it actual...

Widow Montoya- I thought that this crown was actually a cleaner fought crown then alot of the others I have seen. To me you just dont seem to understand and are overly sensitive and i will leave it at that. We are just too different of people and i can see nomatter what i say your gonna find fault i...

GuntherofOrkney

Widow Montoya- dont you think you might be alittle overly sensitive about what i said? I have been fighting for 14years and won many tournaments and know when a shot looks ok but might not be good or when a shot is definately good.(which its hard to tell except on a very few.) People have always and...

GuntherofOrkney

It was a fun day even though i didnt get to fight i got to coach and wear my almost finished calafian champions tabard. There were lots of issues with many fighters but i do understand you should hit a guy hard but a solid and clean blow should never be discounted.

GuntherofOrkney

well my shop has a big very good air compressor so its totally an option for me.

GuntherofOrkney

i got an order comming due soon thats a breastplate and backplate with faulds and tassets so i will see how it goes myself hehe.

GuntherofOrkney

nice job man. what i would have done different is to not dish the lames,just curve them on a bender bar unless the armor your recreating has dished lames. also it seems to me that breastplates seemed to sit definately above the waste/hip bone so you needed more faulds. Overall great work,i need to g...
