Many larger knife suppliers also cryogenically ... whatever their blades. Texas Knifemaker's Supply used to accept blades for cryogenic treatment from customers - I don't think they do anymore (it's not on the website) but they offer cryogenically treated blades for sale. More on topic - will loose ...

Also interested in the cost for a pair.

D - why not?

Is the square cross-section of the ring cause it to "bite" the clothing more than a round cross-section? Are the two maille shirts the same ring size?

Just curious.

Hal, what do you use that stake for?

Galileo

Closed for about a year.... That'll give me time to save up for that project we discussed a little while back

Galileo

Nice - not a bad price at all.

I'll keep that in mind when I'm ready to get a pair

Galileo

Price? They're pretty.

Galileo

Do you have to spin the hotdog or just throw the whole thing on the grill as he stands?

Galileo

Great News!

I bought a Gorget from Otto (via eBay) around 6 years ago (maybe longer, I don't remember exactly) and paid via paypal.

It arrived promptly and functions beautifully - and looks exactly like the pictures.

I find set two more appealing, though I can't identify why.

Good luck with the sale.

From: m "1 inch rounded ( approx. .950 dia.) $ 35.00 per linear inch" The same website sells small slabs (2.35 inches wide or wider and 4.5 inches long) to make a knife handle (or gun grip) for up to $275. Inlay bits they sell for $0.88 a gram . That tusk is likely to be very expensive. G--

Not all strength is from being hard. Sometimes being just soft enough to flex but not so soft that it won't hold a shape is a fine art.

Horn Lamellar (first pic) and Horn scales?

Very Slick!

He is extremely busy with his PhD studies, but may still take commissions. I'll poke him on Facebook and tell him you're inquiring.

How do you take the quilting and batting into effect when measuring and cutting the outer and inner shells?

I'm not a tailor by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd probably tackle something like this just for giggles.

I may be out-of-bounds, but I believe these are the gaunts for sale in this thread.

Sean, correct me if I'm wrong.

In any event, they're way too small for me.

Darkprophet,

Dauyd's post was aimed at Ka0z, not you.

That said, How's Lyonsmarche doing these days? I left that area 7 years ago. Last time I met up with the group, Morgaina was letting us use her potter's wheels for a medieval pit firing.

Ka0z,
What is "MS" legs?

Galileo

Very nice!

Sadly, very much not my time period.

and I'm broke.

Galileo

Darn you Hal!

You post the stuff I want when I don't have money!

I guess I'll spam your Facebook page

For this kit, all one would need is a dishing form of some kind.

Be sure to give us the name to seek on iTunes...

Galileo

I've never bought from these guys, but http://www.closedcellfoams.com/

seems to have a fair selection of different stuff.

Edit - specifically Minicel looks particularly interesting.

Galileo

Jehan,

Would you consider making a Byzantine coin, similar to #4 shown here?

Personally, I'd prefer silver, but pewter or copper would be cool too.

Galileo

Most of us are better than heckling a person trying to seriously sell something useful here.

Those spun tops would make nifty, appropriate Roman helms.

Brettuns Village has good stuff too, fairly cheap (shipping typically included).

Be sure to check his sale pages, you can get some really inexpensive stuff when his barn is overflowing (often).

I'm on the upper end of your sizing - size 13 gunboats (read that as: Wide and Flat), the colors are good.

Looks good - similar to the stuff Bruce Hirst offers molds for.

Good luck with the sale!
