Nice work. I especially like the Kings Braid pattern for jewelry.

looks pretty good.. I like your idea of using boxchain as hem on the bottom of coifs
your persion looks good, nice and tight.

what gauge and ID arou you using for stuff?

For armour I use 16 guage, 1/4" ID galvanised.. and the jewlery is 18 guage 1/4" ID stainless so far, but I might branch out into finer stuff someday...

it's just fer goofing around I do this really... and it's a great feeling, moving a piece of jewlery in the pub, and coming home with more $$ than I went out with...

;-)

I did take the boxed hem off and finished the coif with a proper mantle, but I have not a pic of that yet... one day hopefully!

I was hopin' someone would like that puppy!

It's 18 guage, 1/4" ID Galvanised... And it just kinda happened... I was goofing around making a "ring" of 4 on 1... and when that was done, I thought I'd try a finger.. then 3 more and a thumb.. then I just sorta One-link-at-a-timed the rest together...

It's a left hand glove cause I'm right handed... gonna be a hell of a chore making the right hand one!! LOL!!!

Have you tried to invert the left hand
glove?

SwordForHire · Post by **SwordForHire** » Sun Jan 21, 2001 9:12 pm

I have... but I made the glove so that the thumb is off centre towards the palm of my hand... A much more natural fit... But it's not reversable at all... well, maybe if I turned it inside out, but I don't even wanna try that!

LOL!!

I'm just gonna have to struggle through some day...
