Are there any in the list that aren't from the History Channel?

Build it and they will come. Mac Mac is right. Quick update on my project. I did not get much don on my last trip to China but I will have another chance next month. I have sourced my 6mm flat rings and have resized MAC's pattern for my neck and smaller 6mm rings. Still need airline sized riveting ...

Take a look at Jiri Klepac's Gauntlet Thread unfortunately the links are broken. You can still cut and paste them into your browser though. Even worse the video Jiri posted of him engraving the gauntlets apparently in no longer there. :cry: I had thought I had saved it but apparently not. :oops: Tom

Look at these AA Threads:

Etching (Engraving)
Etching vs Engraving
Champlevé Enameling video demo from V&A

Of particular interest is the video from the last thread & MAC comments in all 3 threads.

Are you worried about noise or is it that you can't hang a pell from the ceiling?

If it is the latter then take a look at this google for wavemaster.
Several people here on rthe AA endorse this style of free standing bag for pell work, especially the long ones that allow leg shots.

You guys need to get some good photos taken at some of the practices and have one of those Lulu Press Calendars made. I bought one of the COT calendars from Ursus' Lulu page here. They are great and well worth the cost. I think he sells his pretty much at zero profit, if you guys added $3 to $5 to ...

I think the four extra rows would be excellent. In the mean time, don't they sell the different sections of padding? Wouldn't it be relatively cheap to add the sections of four to current models of the leg? Sir Omarad posted the photo below of the individual pads for shirts (prices were from a few ...

Well that will teach me to double check the time settings on my AA account.

Apparently my time is set an hour ahead.

My kiln has no digital controller. When the pyrometer says that the kiln is 1550F or so, I open the lid and put the armor in. When the pyrometer says that the kiln has come back to about 1525F, I look in the peep hole and see if the armor is the same color as the kiln walls. If it is, I snatch out ...
