Glad ya like it Ned

Galileo

Personally, I like the rough look from the scale. I wouldn't have noticed the rivet if it hadn't been pointed out (course, I'm not handling the helm either). I like the flare-out around the eyes. If you want to have some fun, you could make a brass or copper plate to fit inside the castle on the rig...

Galileo

Sounds like you're wearing enough armour to go play rough-and-tumble with all your dogs at once!

Galileo

It's Kings Lance - He doesn't make the stuff, just re-sells what he gets from India.

It does have a nice top.

Reindeer Hide Coats Hmm... where would a reindeer hide a coat? The antlers would make a good coat rack, but still, that's not hiding them. Oh! That's not what you meant? http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/biggrin.gif Sorry, no help f...

Brettun's Leather (also in Maine) carries them for about $20 (IIRC) including shipping. You could always drop in on them and get one on your vacation.

Cool - another guy for southeastern washington on the board.

You can also try emailing Rev. George (a fellow archive member) reverendgeorge@bellsouth.net

Or check his website to see his past works:

Hey Torvald - what email addy are you using for Norman? One he can't check except maybe once a month or so, and the other he can check daily (I think that would be his Kaganate email). You can check his Kaganate site for it, or email me if it isn't there.

You might get better luck if you email him royldragon@yahoo.com OR post on the off topic board, looking for DRAGON (which is how he posts here to the Archive) rather than with their email handle, and on a board that not everyone reads to boot. Just trying to be helpful. G-- (You know, re-reading thi...

Galileo

Did my order go out?

Galileo

Liebaart, from the Chainmaille Board, makes and sells riveted maille tools. See here for pictures of his stuff.

Galileo

Or, you could donate a bit of it to help keep the Archive here running.

Galileo

Beats having to remake certain pieces every so often if the sliding rivet wasn't done properly.

Galileo

Of course, I'm happy with it too

Galileo

Lord Charles of DeCordene Wireworks (Web addy is on the archive links page) sells ring squishers.

Galileo

Roger that.

You could always show off your work here too

Matt, your source is cheaper than my local guy here in town, and he only carries solid copper rivets.

Galileo

Hey Torvald,
Why don't you list the names of those you still need money from - that way everyone else can harra...er... encourage them too

Galileo

Can leather be dished?

Galileo

No help here - but that is a really good picture.

Galileo

No Byzantine belt yet?

(I know - just razzing ya

)

Galileo

I've always heard that a couple of hours in the dryer (no heat) will take care maille rather well. The other thing you could do is pop into The Chainmaille Board and ask there.

We could all mutually ignore the snot-nosed, whiny little spoiled brat too.

Galileo

Were we a bit bored today Corey?

Galileo

Rather than pawn it off, I'd be inclined to melt it down.

Galileo

Define "Does not fit".
Is it too big? Too small? Pinch in an area (like the neck)?

More information is needed to help you.

Actually, according to the time and date the thread was started, Alcy posted the link about a day before the auction ended.
