Hal, I'll take one.

Galileo

Payment sent

Galileo

Ok - Pitbull, I will dibs one - I get paid tomorrow and will send a paypal then (assuming they aren't all gone already).

Galileo

There's such a thing as an "extra" tool?

gotta see if there's any extra fundage. if someone wants them, sell em - no dibs at this time.

Galileo

Pictures really help

Galileo

Shoulders do not quite fit right and will be reworked when I do the rest. It's only the breastplate, there is no back plate (yet - also on the list).

Galileo

This almost sounds like a targeted attack. It was targeted - they saw "Rental Car at a hotel" and hit it, since the person probably can't stick around to try and catch up with them. They may see metal and take it to a scrap yard for the salvage money. For me, it just means I won't leave anything in...

Galileo

Got a new breastplate from Kult of Athena (someone else ordered it - I was surprised with it today) Needs a touch of fitting work in the shoulders, but other than that, appears to fit rather well. http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx310/tullisgl/armour002_zpsa5f94b7b.jpg http://i766.photobucket.com...

Arrived today - thank you kindly

Galileo

Torvaldr was selling his old set with integral leather knees a while back. I wonder if they ever sold

He's been posting around here and on facebook.

I have to ask, did you buy this off auction or from the general 4-85 pound listings and deciding on a weight? Since the ones I could see all cost about twice as much (hopefully with shipping included, but not for certain). Or it could just be some sketchy e-bay shenanigans. What are the "up to 85" ...

Galileo

Mine is a "Vitus-approved" titanium cup.

Taking a spare to practice or events is a great idea though - never thought of that.

Galileo

If there's a round left, I'd be interested in one. 67401

Galileo

It's a drop ceiling punch. They run new at Home Depot for about $25 (also on Amazon under a different brand name)

Galileo

Check Mad Matt - he has openings right now and lists them on his website.

Galileo

You may want to check over at http://hirstarts.yuku.com/

I don't know about their policy about selling things, but you might find someone interested.

Galileo

Hal, it sounds like you need to add it to your list.

Galileo

very pretty, and thankfully (for my pocketbook), too small for me

Galileo

I want one.

Galileo

I get mine from Ney Metals
http://www.neymetals.com/

Website appears to be under some maintenance. I got their Britania lead free pewter (very high concentration of tin) last time. Melts and casts nicely.

Don't have a price, since it's been a while since I bought it.

Galileo

Heh - I was looking to have some tablewear cast (fork and spoon), so no food storage.

Galileo

Do you cast in food-safe bronze (aluminum bronze, I believe?)

Galileo

Pics, or link - or both

Galileo

I get my casting alloy from Ney Metals. It's been a while since I bought any, so I have no idea what the pricing is looking like now.

Galileo

Andy, what's the weight on the vice (for shipping estimate)?

Galileo

Sigh. I would *so* love to have that post vice. Have no idea what would be a worthy bid (and if I'd have the cash available anyway).

Galileo

A muscled breast and back plate would look good - if you went leather, you could make it flesh-toned (or paint the steel).

Owen painted his tennis-shoes to look like sandaled bare feet.

This is a Facebook request I squeezed in: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=54544 A 32 ounce ball peen hammer reground and polished as a dishing hammer. And a reground and polished planishing hammer. These were from my wonderous wife, awaiting me under the tree this mornin...

Galileo

My wife got me a couple of Hal's armouring hammers for Christmas.

She sent him messages on Facebook so I wouldn't see them here

Thanks for making them Hal!

I think she wants me to make armour - darn!

G--

Galileo

Or ask Icefalcon - he posts on here too

Galileo

Your English is fine. You want to remove sliding rivets and articulate on leather straps. I don't think strapping with leather to the sliding rivets will do you any good, as the leather will bend before the rivet will slide.
