Yeah, at that temp, you're causing the water to boil. Definitely not what you want to happen. well, that might explain it. I had to set the old oven to 250, and have been trying from there! I am retarded. You don't want it really above 190, and not below 160. Like Dan said, 180 is spot on. Yeah, the...

Because that's what the shipping calculator on the site quotes for price.

It wasn't a Wisby. I should have used a Wisby 7. Only 2 horizontal plates on that. This is a later style, with a bunch or horizontal plates, and vertical plates around the sides. It's the kind that Mad Matt was making. I got no complaints with what I got. The plates were shaped and drilled. The fail...

Thanks for the replies everyone! Initially I was going to make leather loaner. It's my medium, I have a good idea of what I'm doing, and I've made some fairly spiff stuff.

Hey, everyone. Been a looong time. It's good to be back. I was making loaner armour for my Shire. First try beat me. Badly.

Is the pommel peened on visibly, or is there no visible peening? I can't recall the smith's name if it's the one I think you mean (I'm thinking Peter). It makes the warranty invalid, as they are only covered for the life of the smith. One of my swords is a Highland Steele. Love it. Christopher

It'd look pretty sweet as a Hussar rig. That would also mean you get to add leopard skin. Maybe not what you meant by furs and leather, but it'd look sweet. also means bazubands are correct for your portrayal.

And a well done Polish hussar is just a killer look.
