I've got that set - fairly useless for planishing as they are quite small. The block is good for setting rivet heads into to keep them from getting mushed while piening.

Galileo

Don't get stainless - you will frustrate yourself to no end trying to set them.

For helms (SCA use) - get 3/16" -- 1/8 may not clear marshals.

Galileo

Rivets - McMaster Carr has solid rivets in packs of 100 (usually, depending on rivet material). RJLeahy sells em by the pound or half-pound (again, depending on material). 1/8" diameter solid rivets can be had with roofing nails (galvanized steel or copper). They have a large, flat head, and a 1/8" ...

Probably not as much as the heat from the plasma cutter

Galileo

The helm kit I received was cut by plasma - I have to drill my own holes (which is fine by me). Laser-cut kits have the holes pre-cut -- but that is an entirely different tool set. Personally, I would figured I'd have to drill my own holes. If the centers were marked, that'd be really cool - maybe o...

Galileo

That's fine - I'll take all three sheets.

Probably hollow, but not a bad price.

Galileo

I'll take #4 - both sheets of Sorbothane.

You need to make your album "public" if you want anyone to see what you're selling.

Galileo

Understandable - I haven't seen another pattern (though I haven't searched very hard).

Maybe someone else will chime in

Galileo

Like this one? http://www.armourarchive.org/patterns/g ... t_rainald/

Galileo

The dishing forms are quite nice. I put mine on a chunk of mudflap to deaden the sound a bit (my worktable echos something fierce)

Galileo

Put it in a bag before putting it in the dryer - otherwise you get all sorts of gunk in the machinery.

Galileo

Brettun's Village sells em too, and replacement faces. Shipping is included in the price.

Donate the old one to me (for free) and buy yourself a new one?

Muratic acid will take care of all of it (use in well ventilated area -- preferably outside). Rinse, then dump into the evaporust. keep it oiled.

Galileo

How do the 2 pieces go together?

It's very well done, I like the tree on the metal bits.

Galileo

Check scrapyards too - Alcy got an anvil from one for scrap price.

Galileo

Hal said to take the brow and add 4" for the minimum 1/2" padding.

Galileo

That's a good pattern for the top, but to be SCA legal, you'll need some grill-work for the front along with side and back protection (slats work well, especially since you've already mentioned an aventail to hide it).

Galileo

Wish I could swing the payments, but alas, it is not to be

Galileo

For now, I think I'll try making some Talorgen's chairs. They look somewhat simple yet will look far better than bag chairs.

Galileo

Need FFL for transfer, yes?

Galileo

Tools: circular saw (6" blade), jig saw. Rest are metal forming (armour) and mechanic's tools :) Skills - not a whole heck of a lot that is decorative. Think "framer" not "cabinet maker" Budget - yet to be determined. We're still working on that one Simpler peri-oid would be good enough, I think. I'...

I particularly like the chair in this picture from Sean's Pinterest link above . I need to come up with seating for at least 3 (family of three here) that will fit in the trunk of a compact car :D What time period and nationality? 10th C -- I'm Byzantine, but my wife and daughter prefer the 10th C ...

Galileo

I don't know how you make something so nice so inexpensively.

too bad I don't have the extra fundage right now.

Galileo

When I saw the profile shot, my first thought was it looked like this one

Galileo

There's a couple of folks that sell C-belt kits. Viking leather and Pitbull, I think?

Galileo

Assassin access point.

Galileo

define "affordable" -- you'll get better results in your searches.

Galileo

Whoa - better to find out now than when it's on his head.

Galileo

You may want to put how much you want to sell it for, and where you're located (for shipping or local pick-up purposes).

Galileo

Kaowool - on Amazon

A quick google search will hit ya with a bunch of pottery supply places (typically used to line kilns).

Galileo

Angus, I have used one of those kits - it's for small parts to match up to things. It will not survive on feast gear (heck, it didn't survive on my small parts).

Galileo

Depending on the size of this thing - http://www.harborfreight.com/1-piece-sd ... 60414.html -- the shape might be more useful.
