Ideval,
The dog collar gorget is a 2 piece. It's hinged at the right side with leather and buckles on the left (at about the shoulder blade area). A pattern for one is in the pattern section... uh... Here's the link - It's Rainald's pattern.

Rev George,
What are the dimensions of that kidney shaped plate?
I vote for that one or the 3 inch B shape.

Stainless 18ga

~500 or more depending on price

I'm looking for the fork only... Historic Enterprises has fork and knife together - and it looks like a cooking fork, not a personal eating utensil. Birka Traders has one that would work - but it's a pain to order from Oz... Mainly I'm looking to see if an(y) Archive member(s) are willing to make an...

Please go here

Thanks

Ok, that was pretty vague for a thread topic... I want to buy a fork shaped similarly to this one: [img]http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~tdawson/Cutlery.jpeg[/img] And the bowl, plate, and flare cup: [img]http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~tdawson/Tableware.jpeg[/img] The ceramics need not be detailed o...

Galileo

Thanks Rev,
I'm already eyeballing that one (see Bronze thread)

I was just curious if anyone had a link to other stuff - especially since I'm looking at over a month for one from Birka (by the time the mail goes there, the thing gets cast, and comes back...)

Perhaps for attaching a chain to the breastplate? (though probably too late of period)

Galileo

Where does a guy find feast utensils? I have plates, but I could use a fork and small dagger.

I thought there was a link floating around here once - thought I'd see if someone had it.

Galileo

Go to a welding supply/fabrication shop for the sheet steel.

Galileo

If the picture works... [img]http://www.birkatraders.com/catalog/images/byzant/byz8.jpg[/img] This image is from Birka Traders, in their products section "Byzantium" Item B8. It's bronze, and about the perfect size to use as part of my feast gear (right area of the world too http://www.armourarchive...

Well Rev,
You should be down to 1 or 2 now

Quoting from the FAQ: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Q. Where do I get rivets? What kind, what size? A: www.rjleahy.com or www.mcmaster.com and there are more...Solid round head or truss head are the most useful for metal-to-me...

Hey Rev, any ss plates left?

Galileo

Is bronze an ok metal to use for feast gear?

(edit)
Suppose I should mention I'm asking about utensils, not bronze plates.

Hey Rai! Lord Charles just completed an update to his site that has a graphical "How to" section in it. In that section, it shows how to do an expansion on a sheet , and how to do an expanding top for a coif . You may want to look at it too. He's also got how to's for various weaves and shows how to...

Cut a section out of the center and rivet a strap over the top of it - make it a Spangen

Norman, that title was purely for my own interest, and had/has no bearing on my interest in Byzantine studies -

Any other titles?

Sarnac did another order using the same die and metal stamping company (IIRC) - so you might try contacting him too.
