Make hinges and fittings for period wooden chests. That would be cool.

I'd say go with the TOMAR chapel-de-fer, it looks really nice.

changed my mind. i think a repro of the pembridge helm would look real cool. it's simple and i could make some iron rivets as well. does anyone know where the greathelm site has gone. it has a yellow background.
