What I did have on hand, however, was my my personal paternoster that I made out of jade beads. This is what I offered [and which was graciously ac...

Etching Brass?

I want to bling up my helm and spaulders a bit, so I was thinking of adding some etched brass bands. I've done a search but it's quite fragmented and I'm seeing a multitude of different ways of doing the etching; salt water, muriatic acid, ferric chloride, some type of electrical way. Anyone have an...

There are too many rings in the sides of the face. It needs to be re-strung and tailored to the face. Un-sew it from the leather, and when you sew it back, make sure more of the circumpherence is sewn to the leather, and less are left in the front.

Maille aventail help

I purchased a stainless riveted maille avential from His Grace Icefalcon and while I love the sturdy construction (and great price) of the item, I dislike the way it "hangs" down in front of the helm as opposed to tapering down around the neck area. I've been told that this is because of t...

Thanks. Once I knew where to look... m Tandy is expensive. I only buy from Tandy if I need something urgent enough that I'm unwilling to wait for shipping. There is a Tandy store in town. Lol, exactly the same here as I have one ten minutes from my house and it feeds my instant-gratification demon.
