The Armour Archive

I just came across this collection of armouring books, DVDs and downloadable PDF files:

http://talbotsfineaccessories.com/books/metalwork.html

I was wondering if anyone know of them, have purchased them and if so, if they're worth getting for a new armourer.
Alot of it hits the spot for me personally with the time period most of it is from, but I'm wondering if the instructual part of it is worth the price etc.

All of them are well worth the price.

Depending on your experience and tools some work better then others.

Posterboard will save you time and material when resizing to fit unless your talbot sized.
If you find a paticular step difficult some of us can usually help.

I made is version of the wisby gorget then processed to make a few more.
I have the gauntlet pattern but its beyond my ability at this point though reading through the steps and illustrations helps with other projects.

Welcome new member.

I really enjoyed the Milanese mid 15th. century gauntlets booklet.
I would make the pattern smaller though.

Seconded.

And if you have any questions, you can always ask Talbot, here on the Archive.

Who is conveniently Talbot-sized

Already bought one of them just to check it out, can't wait to get started on it ^^

Feel free to email me any questions you might have.

Said the conveniently Talbot-sized one helpfully.
