When making a helm for SCA combat, we all know that you have to accout for padding - ~1/2 in etc....

If you take an exact measurement of the head, front to back, side to side and circumfrence....

If I add 1/2 of padding, what formula can I use to ajust the circumfrence?

Would using the (FtB/cir = FtB+1/X) and (StS/cir=StS+1/Y) then (X+Y)/2 work?

As it was beet to death in a previous thread I won't pour into the math again (but it was fun last time). Please read here:

or take your head circumference add 3" and round up which was the general consensus after many posts and much trig.

happy hammering

Excellent! thanks

BTW, I tested the formula I mentioned and that is about what it produced....

EDIT: NM - I did it a few more times and the added amount sized with the circ... Oh well.... Thanks for the link!
