I have both surforms also. Stanley makes different blades for all the holders: m If I were doing flat sides, I would use a plane and saw. A hand saw is a pretty cheap investment.

I made my air riveter from the $9 air hammer from HF:
http://www.harborfreight.com/media/cata ... 8d27136e95
I cut the "pointy" off the one shaft and made a depression by drilling and polishing, it needed retempered also. But, it works better than hand riveting and for $9 it was a cheap experiment.

I just searched over on Roman army talk...and found this:

It says it has a high carbon steel blade....
http://www.reliks.com/merchant.ihtml?pid=1280
Perhaps Matt Amt or someone on the RAT board could recommend a European manufacturer...?

If you can't spend the cash now, save up. It will be worth it.
I am sure if you contact his Grace, he can make one for you.

Getting a few rivets in brass I would try this guy:

he has the sizes in smaller quantities
That is; if nobody on here has three or four to send you.

Do they really hardcoat the ENTIRE excavator bucket? I thought they just hardcoated the teeth? Sean They do the sides and bottom pretty frequently. The teeth they replace when they get too rounded to rip up the ground. I kind of like what Mattmaus did with the gussets and was saying about Kasenit. ...

Sean, That certainly makes sense. I was looking at the cost factor. I have a friend who hard faces excavator buckets and he asked me why we did not do that to our helmets.

Here is a question I have had for a while...
