Well maybe a cool lamp shade or something...

Just say it Hal.. I know that you meant to say.. "Looks like cheap stuff from India", right? *ducks for cover*

I think it would make a sweet codpiece..

Kristoffer

Ugo, I command you to make some japanese armour! That is really a menpo, anyone see that!

Kristoffer

I have a very important point about this thread that I have to get off my chest...

Ugo, you suck.

Double-suck.

I am making a padded jacket to wear under my armour and I have some toughts about the pattern making.. I have a pattern that fits me very well, its pretty snug fit and gives me the mobility I want.. I want to make a padded jacket just like it.. The thing is that I have a feeling that several layers ...

My company is working on just this product at the moment. It will be ready in about 6 months.

Kristoffer

You could also just look up some art from that time period and copy that design.. Something like the greek urns with athletes and stuff on, but roman style..

Kristoffer

Use the pattern from the russian page instead.. I havent tried it but many recommend it..

Kristoffer

Midevil.. Thats what you are when you are not very evil and not just a little evil.. mid evil..

Kristoffer

I think that for the hagaren auto-mairu you should find a talented armourer in your area so you can get custom fitted on site. You want it to be very tight and its hard to get that fit without actually having the person who is going to wear the piece to fit it on during the production.

Kristoffer

Sorry, cant allow you to take that one out on the field. No, not gonna happen. Nope, uh uh, no.

I think you must give it to me so I can keep it safe, a long way from any rattan.

No again.

No way.

If you have holes that are a bit bigger in your anvil (lets say I would have to grind away at least 4 millimeters), would it be possible to fill these holes with a welder and then grind and polish the surface? I would only use the anvil for cold work, no real blacksmithing..

Kristoffer

heh, I have been working on a design for a similar project for about a year now, your idea is not that far from mine.. =) I have also been able to work around the breast deflection issue and have worked out a both period and functional solution to it.. =) Gonna post pictures if I ever get to work on...

Kristoffer

The links are directed to a file on one of your local servers, you need to ge the viritual URL, not the physical..

Kristoffer

I can tell you all the secrets about mead if you tell me how you built it and help me get a air hammer shipped overseas..

Kristoffer

No, that is an adaptation to match the picture I am using as a model for making them. Doesnt look like that on the pictures? On Effs picture, the suneate is about two and a half tateage in height.. It looks like yours are about one and a half.. But the pictures might fool me... The edge between the...

Kristoffer

The knees are huge.. is that an adaptation for SCA combat?

Kristoffer

A lot (most?) butted maille is made out of springsteel..

Kristoffer

That kit is awesome. Do you sell your printed leather? =)

Kristoffer

It shouldnt be a problem.. what os are you using and what program are you trying to print from?

Kristoffer

I first read "Trade lapdance for armour?" and tought "hey! now we're talking!"

Kristoffer

Did you start with entirely straight lames?

Kristoffer

I am looking to buy 6 of paul chen / hanwei practical katana pro swords and I would like to get some help finding a reliable source to buy them.

Any recommendations? I need them shipped to sweden..

Kristoffer

I would go with brass lion heads with rings in the mouths a la roman style for nipples... =)

Kristoffer

Do they ship overseas?

Kristoffer

Ok, where can I get new blades for my B2?

Kristoffer

Oooohh.. Full metal alchemist auto-mail arm.. very cool..

Kristoffer

What about the guy with the red leather miniskirt and the pink schoolgirl socks.. and why are those guys holding up his toga and checking out his ass..?

Kristoffer

I live in Sweden, are there any places besides the company that makes the beverly where I can order new blades?

Whats the homepage adress to the beverly company? =)

Kristoffer

m m Is the top of the shear supposed to stick out like this outside the edge of the top blade? At one time when I tried to adjust the blade spacing the lower blade was caught by the part that sticks out over the top blade.. Is it grinded down too much or is it me that doesnt know how to work this th...

Kristoffer

My guess is flat with rounded edges.. sort of oval..

Kristoffer

Hell, if you are gonna have a room full of models in bikinis wearing them, I can custom make them for you and custom fit them on the scene..

Kristoffer

Well, I havent started to consider to make one yet, I feel that I need a lot of practice with the building process before I make a final attempt at making one..

Kristoffer

I was thinking about trying the car battery etching when making them, that should give pretty good results.. I think..

Making patterns for padded garments

New B2 blades?

Is my B2 blade ok?
