100 bucks plus shipping

Wolf

dude man, thats what i was talking about. i wear one. but it doesnt ride like the one pictured. if there were a fold you would see it visibly if the artist was into detail, which he seems to have been. as it is, it rides down/ pulls down in teh front

Wolf

hmmm i dunno about a shirt. funny how it perfectly follows the curve of the arming doublet/standard rim (which ever it may be) I also dont know of many 15th cent shirts with this type collar. most are non collared save for the real high ones

Wolf

10 bucks

Wolf

ya jeffj does run kinda funny. anyone remember his floating down the hillside after sat mornings tac at MTT this year? flaot float float is all i could think of heheh

Wolf

as much as i like williams stuff, i'm looking for museum pieces. now i could say some museums prob have his stuff on display hehehe but i want period period pictures

Wolf

its just that. its called 3 in one . usually found in 4 fl oz. its a multipurpose oil. i use it to clean up my armour

jeffj did a great job on a basinette with boiled linseed oil and his grill. it came out all shiney black and has a red hue to it

Wolf

how many different armouries are online with pictures? what I meanis like the Grimm armoury. it has tons of detailed pictures that are not in most books. are there any more out there? if so can you please post the urls?

Wolf

hal, might i suggest for spaulders 16 guage all the way around for sca. i made flonzy 18 guage lames on a 16 guage bell and the lames got bent to hell during his fighting

Wolf

got that right josh. i wanted to go too. went paintballin today since i couldnt go

Wolf

ya the top is oval. it should also be larger ar the top than at the brow line. i just haddnet gotten to figure out the role yet. forgot to add the 1 inch strip

Wolf

ok i'll ask. how did you get such a nice line for the top. i'm making one as we speak. is the top dished at all? details

where did you get the breathe hole pattern? how did you do it? drill two holes and use a metal jig saw blade?

Wolf

umm i'm sorry but i have never seen a sallet with a pigface or houndskull. now most later period sallets are both longer in teh front and back but do not have a full visor. by 1513 most sallets are jaw lined and phasing out of fashion

Wolf

i think PROPER 15th cent. too many gothicisk or italianisk looking suits that dont look anything like period suits

Wolf

oh stop, i bet you say that to all the girls heheheh

hehehe what can i say, as wolfe's company says it best "your such an armour whore"

Wolf

. I use points through the hosen and then through the arming doublet and THEN through the mail skirt to hold the hosen and mail skirt up with one set of points. It simplifies things.

HA! easy for you to say, you dont tie them up! ;P hehhe

Wolf

cause Paul's falling to the dark side of periodness hehehe (evil grin)

Wolf

i've also hear of tapeing 3 pennys staked onto your anvil and pounding on them

Wolf

i believe most 1450s era greaves had or have mail holes around the bottom for mail sabs

Wolf

cant, sorry

what about helmets with top rims that are on the outside how do you get those to work out>?

Wolf

ok, i'm making a pot helmet. and i can't seem to get the top right. what am i doing wrong? should i: A. trace the outside rim of the helmet, cut it out, dish it and then try to bend the edges over. B. trace the outside rim of the helmet, add an inch all the way around, cut it out and bend the edges ...

Wolf

i object to the objection of the picture being taken down! heheh this is art not porn (playing devils advocate here ehhehe) like the armour, kinda cool. is the wolf photoshoped in or does she have a hybrid? i want one.. wolf not the chick... although she is pretty hot

Wolf

you guys should see jeffj's helm. he used boiled linseed oil on a grill. looks totally freakin cool. its shiney black but when u get close its reddish ehh

Wolf

ok i am currently working on the same type of helmet HOW DO U DO THE TOP? did you trace the cap on steel and add an inch then bend the edges down? or did you dish the top completely with out adding an inch? details please. i've gotten up to this part and failed again and again tring to do the tops t...

Wolf

[ Wolf has the right of it, The current thought is that helmets like this had that cheek hinged to allow a bow to be drawn to the cheek. That is #7, not #2 number 7 is jsut like number 2 in that it can be made to be some what open faced. either or i believe would be archers helmets. number 7 more o...

Wolf

true side of a lance... but not in an open faced helmet. still think it's an archer's helmet of sorts

Wolf

theres already 1 bid

Wolf

now theres a thought, build a full cuisse poleyen and cased greave combo. maybe 15th cent german or malinese. hey you sounded like you wanted a challenge for your spring steel

not that i can buy anything right now though, but its still a challenge

Wolf

Gruber, can u get a pic of the arms upside down, i mean all together like you have them now, just flipped so we can see the other part of the cannons

Wolf

i asked the wife if we had 12k. she said no, she said even if we did... no.

ho hum. love to own a piece

Wolf
