I came back to look at this again, and I have to say: This is like a filet mignon of awesome, in awesome sauce, served on a bed of awesome with a side of awesome and a big pint glass of awesome backed up by a keg of awesome in the cellar. All wrapped in bacon. John Jehan de Pelham, ecuyer and serva...

You must have a secret on welding that pipe because I always seem to get pitting in it and then i seem to go on this endless action of filling each pit with weld only to find i've made another pit somewhere. This is why I hate welding on casted black iron fittings. right there is your problem, you ...

I think a lot of people forget that Rough From the Hammer exists. For the price, you really can't beat Cet's simple elbows and knees. They have a great shape, and are made of thicker material than many other armorers use on their basic stuff. Consider Cet as a a great low cost armorer. His stainles...

not just gunsmithing, check into industrial/commercial applications such as hydraulic cylinders specifically the "rod" which are generally plated for wear/corrosion resistance

One of Brugels demons wears an iron cooking pot on his head, if I am not mistaken, so the comcept isn't totally alien. how common was this practice? Demons wearing pots on their heads? Well, I'd say it's more common in Bosch than Brugel (like this detail from The Garden of Earthly Delights , but th...

Enameling can be done with a torch, but expect to ruin several pieces before you get the knack of controlling the flame.

what about a propane forge?

was the second membership renewal held up in the mail? did it have a post mark allowing reasonable time for delivery? if the answer to these questions is yes, then it could be proven in court that their majesties acted in good faith.

Ok, I will bite. What happened to Palespider?
