Ah. Silly me.
The pictures are larger than they appear on the site. If you type http://www.geocities.com/blade777usa/maille1.jpg or http://www.geocities.com/blade777usa/maille2.jpg into your browser location bar, you'll get the full-sized picture.

Garridan

Looks cool from here, but if we save it and enlarge it, it'll just look the same, only large and grainy. (unlike in the movies where they can get a clear picture of a person's face by enlarging a pixel)

Krag, where do you get those spheres, how much for, and are there more?
If you answered yes to all of those questions, reread the first two. If you'd be willing to sell me a few, I'd love you forever... (in the brotherly sense)

Yes, Jareth, but then you would be an ass, and any customer that you treated like this (in the small-time armourer business model) would tell everybody they know how you treated them, and if word got to the Archive (because it would spread to all kingdoms, and all groups), your business would probab...

I'm also going to have to heartily recommend Andy Ward... great guy, wonderful gaunts.
He's a bit busy of late, though... it may take a while to get him.

Edric, I'm gonna have to agree with Pathfinder... I don't think its our monitors; its your picture.

kicakss helm, Kegger... what gauge is the perforated steel?

Garridan

Lackey, PoD, Lackey. Can't have you spelling your title wrong... or, shall we call you LoD?

CBA, I, at least, will find the info useful.

Garridan

I can answer that... the auctions don't run on the same server that the Archive runs on. The server that the auction runs on is in a different time zone, thus a different time displayed.

Garridan

stupid newbie question here... what's the difference between an armet and a close helm?

Garridan

I actually *like* how those look... the only thing I can say is dish your lames... very nice fluting.

ever think of making a new username to post on his board?

congrats... I think I took around 30 hours... who can blame her, tho? Its WARM in there...
hmmm... for a daughter, I'd have to suggest 6ga titanium. No, she won't be able to move. She can't get hurt, tho, either, and that's whats important.

Garridan

Look at the punch (bit) you're using. After trying to punch a bunch of holes in some 16ga stainless, the edges of my punch are curved, not sharp 90Â° angles. You can try and sharpen those edges yourself, or buy some real whitney punches and dies. --tom [This message has been edited by Garridan (edit...

pictures!!!

Garridan

From what I can tell, that's painted, or blackened then the blackening polished off for the white parts.

I've seen Illusion's stuff in person, and a lot of pics... very good quality, and I've yet to hear anybody say otherwise.

CBA, many photo developing places will give you a CD with the images on it... if you can't upload them, email them to me.

a buck a pound is a fair price for an anvil... i'd have to say no.

You could always try Ketchup-packet armour. Make a vest of pockets with the pockets completely sealed but for a small hole that, when the wearer is punched, ketchup sprays out onto the attackers face, rendering them blind and unconscious. You can also use mustard to make them smell bad, too, or stin...

Garridan

Wire wheels gouge the hell out of the metal, which makes it very difficult to take the gouges out, and makes water traps for water to get into, and rust your metal. Use sandpaper.

I can get a 4x4 of 14ga that's been left out in the rain for $12 (they call these perfect squares sorted by size and gauge scrap, and leave it out in the rain). Nobody in this frikkin town carries cold-rolled, or stainless, so if I want either of those, I pay through the nose. (like, I can get no th...
