Re: WTS - Lonely Mountain Corinthian $225
I always loved Joe Piela's work. The Lonely Mountain Forge website was one of the first nice ones I can remember, and I would spend lots of time admiring the projects there. I hope this sells for what you're asking! It's too big for my head, alas.

Re: FS: Some interesting loaner-type body armor.
I didn't mention its historical implications, Harry. I'd also dare to call the Tlingit armor you posted "odd" for the same reason - it's just a weird sort of armor. But thank you for the interesting article.

Re: FS: Rather Crazy Heater Shield $500!
By the way, this really needs to go so that I can start paying off my student loans more rapidly. I want to thank Congress from the bottom of my heart for doubling the interest on my $30,000 debt. They have done me and society at large a great favor.

Re: LH quality Turk/Arab/Egyptian c. 1180?
If you're after armament and arming clothing information, pick up Volume II of Nicolle's "Arms & Armour of the Crusading Era" and also some of the Osprey titles like "Saracen Faris AD 1050-1250" and "Saladin and the Saracens." Pretty much any book by Nicolle on this period is going to be the best st...

This is some body armor that my pal picked up in a storage locker sale. He knew I was interested in armor and after I saw the stuff I offered to sell it for him here on the Archive.

Re: Building a 12th C strong box
It turned out lovely, Harry! Ditto C. Gadda's sentiment regarding the research. I have two half completed boxes that aren't wholly traditional in their construction, but once they're out of the way I hope to move on to greater things. This thread will certainly be useful!

Sorry, but that's BS. I can't imagine who among the staff at the Met would have written that, but there is no evidence to suggest that these helmets had visors. Dozens of examples of this style of helmet from both Crete and the mainland have been discovered and there have never been any visors, nor ...

Hey Kilkenny, Yes, it is of course laced since I pre-fabricated the holes. It's not stitched! I should have been far more clear about that. I'm not sure how it could be considered a poor job, though. Those holes are each 1/4" apart, and there are over a thousand of them... It was terribly fine work,...
