Hi Hal, I have been using the little lead/tin alloy block for rivetting for a while now. I've found it too soft of steel rivets but great for brass and copper. Its starting to get chewed up, what do you recomment doing when it is completely munched? I guess I could met it back down but I'm not sure ...

Wulfgar

This is my new kit minus my new upper leg harness which I didn't get to finish. I am on the right.

Wulfgar

USD $20

Wulfgar

Very nice helm.

I'd take out the rivets on the faceplate and on the side of the cheek guard and make up a matching piece of blackened steel that sits in there. You could tap a thread on the rivets and put a bolt on the back so it could still be completely removable.

Wulfgar

HEy Kit, have ou got any plans for rivetted chain? I need to get an aventail for my onion top.

Wulfgar

I like the look of the stuff you are getting made up Kit. Would this stuff be sufficient for SCA combat as well? if so I would say that there would be a couple of guys down in Tas that may get some stuff off you.

Wulfgar

Tried to post pics the other day, obviously didn't work, will try again shortly.

Wulfgar

Sir Vitus, the shipping to Aus for 2 scabbards and a rondel dagger was US$32

Cheers.

Wulfgar

Hi,

Yes I will be there. If everything goes well I should be in the new 14th century German rig too.

Wulfgar

Her Erikr if you are going to buy this book let me know and we can share shipping.

Wulfgar

Thats not so good. From what I have seen he does excellent work.

Wulfgar

Ok, will check what the shipping was and get back to you, hopefully tomorrow.

Cheers.

Wulfgar

Hello,

nice helm. Could you please supply a size and how much you are looking for.

Wulfgar

I can't speak to those. Best bet is to try and get in contact with Warren and discuss whats happening, he seemed like a reasonable bloke over the phone.

Wulfgar

Thats a very sexy hat your grace. See you at crown, are you marshalling by chance?

Wulfgar

Hi again, yes Friday the pieces arrived and they are fantastic. Aus post had them held up for a week, which was a bit average as I have gotten stuff from the US faster. They do appear to be spring steel. Warren did right by me and even though there was some communications issues everything turned ou...

Wulfgar

Well here is the addition of the new helm, turn shoes and a few other small things to the kit.

Still have the body, leg and arm defence to redo but should be finished soon.

I'm on the right (Sorry for the crappy pic, its off a news website).

Wulfgar

Really nice stuff Matt. These look really schmick.

One mod you might like to think about is having some bars on the bargrill form a U shape so people can easily attach their maille to the face so that it gives the look around the face that the effigies have.

Wulfgar

Hal, I have a hardwood stump for dishing, a 3Lb dishing hammer (although i'll probably end up using something lighter and a ball stake. How much for a planishing hammer, a raising hammer and a basic t-stake? Inc uninsured international shipping to .au? What other tools would you suggest? I've got a...

Wulfgar

Hey Matt are working on a set of Wisby's with bridging fingers? Do you still need some one to order a set so you can test drive them?

Wulfgar

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully they arrive today and are all correct.

Wulfgar

Hi Sir Vitus, I got the two dagger scabbards and the rondel dagger that you sent me. The scabbards look fantastic and have lots of people in my barony wanting one (Hopefully some of it turns in to order for you). I'm currently playing with the dagger and getting the thrusting tip and length just rig...

Wulfgar

Other than a spark test is there any way to tell the difference between mild steel and spring? and is there an easy way to check if what I get is this zinc annealed steel? I've gotten all nervous now and just want to check I am getting what I have asked for. Warren hasn't given me any reason to doub...

Wulfgar

Does that mean that you have found a large box and shipped my kettle? waiting eagerly

Wulfgar

Got a registered post number today so hopefully these will turn up early next week and we can finalise everything.

Wulfgar

Warren called me today, he said that he should be sending my stuff tomorrow and will send me a tracking number.

He seemed genuine and I'm willing to take him at his word at this point. I'll keep you posted when the items turn up.

I have emailed you Warren's number at his request.

Cheers, I'll keep an eye out for it. I sent him an e-mail today with my number.

Please pass on that I am not here to bag Warren out I'm just after a bit of communication. I'm getting more than a little worried.

Wulfgar

Don't get me wrong I'm certainly not on a witch hunt for the man I just want to know what the go is. I've e-mailed him a few times without success, so I thought I would try this avenue. Last I heard He was going to have my stuff finished 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard anything from him. I'm a prett...

Wulfgar

Warren is meant to be making me spring steel shynbalds and spaulders.

I'm a bit worried if you can't get anything out of him and your in the same group and live raltively close to him.

Dissapointing considering that he seems to be doing some nice work for Andrew

Wulfgar

Hi Kit, Unfortunately I had paid my cash several weeks before you posted about your bad dealings. Having seen that the situation was rectified I thought that your situation may have been unusual unfortunately it would appear that I was wrong. I put $250 down with him which was meant to be half the p...

Wulfgar

Warren could you please let me know the status of my order. I have not recieved a reply to my last 2 e-mails. Not sure if they are getting through.

Thanks

Wulfgar

ONe of the guys here uses them. the thumbs have started to stress crack. all the washers on the lames have popped off and the lames themselves are almost popping. He constantly gets his finger tips smashed in them and has poor wrist movement. If you are going to be using these to fightin in regularl...
