Sorry forgot to add 9th century rus. I have some fantastic boots and coat what I am really looking to put together is some pants/shirt and a little bling. The bling I can always get at an event.

Damon

I need to spiff up some for court and was hoping someone can point me towards a good garb maker. I am really looking to buy off rack in stock type stuff.

Links etc would be great thanks.

To answer a few PMs No you cannot have my mac daddy bag that is in the background of one of the pictures. My wife had the gear made in 2002 from a pro armor maker while she was in Korea.

Let me add that DVA has never screwed someone. They always deliver what they promise in the timeline they promise it in.

I say take the dive go to his Grace Duke Ice Falcon get some big ole shiny cool kit and be the envy of all the new guys.

Damon

Thanks for the bump.

Damon

Oh yeah I got some PMs about my favor.

That is in fact a license plate on my belt made by my lady.

It says

I got lots of probes on these but no solid commitments so I am going to run these up on auction. The price is the winning auction + $14 in shipping. I am five foot eight with 60" shoulders and a 50" waist and it takes about 164 to make my harness. I do not make tassets. There is easily eno...

Damon

Yep I have had several probes but nothing solid yet. So they are still up for sale.

PM if you want to work out some details.

There is 231 plates all total. The measurements are 3.5 tall and 2 wide. Basically the "Kidney Belt" part of my kit was 4x32 strips for a total of 128 on the belt. The Sternum and upper back were both 3x6 so another 36 there. So my kit with no tassets takes 164. That leaves another 67 plat...

I will count them in the morning. I would guess around 300ish. Check tomorrow I will post an accurate number.

Damon

Yeah I hate those incredible shrinking plates....

I am pretty sure they are cut from the same cloth but get me a measurement on his plates and we can confirm before we toss any money around.

Damon

So here is the deal. These are the plates that I make my chest out of and have been using for many years. Since they are aluminum they do scratch and bend so once a year I have to take them apart and reform them all. The kit they make is super light and great looking. I decided to replace them with ...

Damon

Cool thanks for the advice.

Damon

Any of you blacksmith types make something similar to hoof nippers but made for cutting brass and copper rivets? I usually angle grind off my rivets but sometimes you can damage the leather so I want something that will cut rivets easy. They would look something like this. I would just buy the hoof ...

The helmet Honda won and gave it to my 7 month old. I got the gloves for second place. I am not sure about the rest of the prizes.

Can someone post the pictures of my son with the helmet. Work blocks photobucket.

Damon

I just sent this to the seller.

That is an SCA shield they cost about 10 bucks to make and sell for maybe 40 to 100 dollars depending on the material. Since you have no idea of what you have it is probably stolen goods.

You should probably avoid posting in all caps as well.

10 Sticks showed up Saturday and they look great. Thanks for quick turn around and great price.
