Isn't Code Warriors' maille darkened due to oxidation as a result of the loss of zinc?

Galileo

Lisa,
Are you saying that Canada practices cannibalism?

Any idea how to pronounce the last name?

At just shy of 6' and weighing in at about 160 pounds - without my armour - I don't think I could fight with you guys. Now fight AGAINST ya....

Galileo

Is that why older vaccuums are made of stainless steel?

Galileo

I like the feel of maille draped over the body - the weight, the sound, etc. I think it's cool!

You know how weird it is to see your name as the author of a thread that you didn't post? Sorry, nothing to add either -- Norman should have a reply for ya sometime tomorrow, as IIRC he posts from work. G-- ------------------ Gabriel Tullis "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God."

Sent ya an email.

I imagine the pendulum would be far more effective use of energy - the force (in psi) would be greater with less expenditure from the crew. The wheeled one with the log attached directly would work if they started from uphill and let the thing roll....

Doesn't bother me any - and I'm sure Sir Andreas appreciates us keeping the thread at the top of the page

Some people use clear fishing line to sew butted maille to a backing. You can also try using the waxed thread for hand sewing leather.

Galileo

I don't recall the possibility of riveting something to tightly together (unless it's articulation). Some helms just ring. To cut down on ringing, you can paint the inside of the helm with rubberized undercoating (see an auto parts store), some sound deadening panels (see auto parts store or a stere...

What kind of cost do these have? I may be in the market for some in the near future.

Galileo

Seems to me stating that it's a Panther Tent in the title pretty much answers your question there Stephen.

From tonight in chat : Basil Garlicoctonus - Basil, the Garlic Killer

Nope - nothing on my end either

Galileo

How about Basil Aoinos?
Name means - "Basil, who drinks no wine"

Or Basil Kaloethes - Basil of Good Character

Mine leaves my hand tomorrow (8/22) to head your way Gundo.

Nickel Electroplating would be better - it doesn't tarnish very well either, and is generally cheaper than silver.

Dmitriy - Gaston came up with this one in chat tonight:

Although, if he had surprised you by grabbing you, many states allow for self defense with whatever happens to be in your hands....

Going Byzantine - Early 14th Century, before the fall of Constantinople. Someone in chat suggested Basil for a name - but I need a second one (last name, if you will...) I like Basil http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif And NO, I will not go by Basil Tarragon http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/t...

Galileo

Land area and the people to populate it are 2 separate things. In my "history of the city" class we covered many European cities from founding to current - and many fluctuated greatly - due to the plague. After the plague hit, the town (city, whatever) covered a large area with fencing, buildings, r...

That's a really nice shield too.

Hey Steve, that is a great looking shield!

"Any Suggestions?" Well, unless you have money to burn - I'd wait the one season while you train and lose weight. That way you aren't having to buy multiple suits of armour to fit as you go down in size. G-- ------------------ Gabriel Tullis "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God." Luke 1:19 ...

Also if you have a price range to work with - we can eliminate or add to the list.

Galileo

Course, I could be waaaaay off base too... http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif As I understand it, the iron is what rusts, and stainless has the iron replaced with Chromium or somesuch. I have been told that to anneal stainless rivets, you need to treat it just like a copper one - heat it up ...

Galileo

Oh, duh - I forgot to add - Stainless Steel is a non-ferrous metal (no iron) so to anneal it, you heat it up, and dump it in oil or water.

Galileo

Sorry, no metalurgist, but if I'm not mistaken (which wouldn't be the first time it I was...) 304 stainless is the softest you can get - the other alloys get stronger and meaner to work with.

Go see the M.A.I.L. site listed at the bottom of Lorenzo's post - they work strictly with maille.

Galileo

'nother email your way Gundo

Galileo

With the request for "Munitions Grade" armour - I'd imagine they are asking for plate.
