Unconventional !

Barbute is now done!

Visor hinge rivets are 5mm steel rivets capped with 1mm brass. There's also leather suspension system and 4 point chin strap.

I'm happy how this turned out.

Awesome work! Any chance we could get an inside view at that suspension system?

Thanks guys!

I'm back in the shop now, every sunday for 2-3 hours. Next helmet will be a Roman cavalry helmet for sca fighting. I have started making it and I have couple of bands ready.
Need to replace a handle of my Halberds dishing hammer. It gave up after many years of hammering.

Some fantastic work Ghost Pig! I love the deep ridge you put into the central helmet on this new one!

Thanks Andy!

I got the grill done today.

Ghostpig · Post by **Ghostpig** » Sun Nov 22, 2015 2:21 pm

Little update here. I'll add some leather during upcoming week and next sunday is final assembly.

Sevastian · Post by **Sevastian** » Sun Nov 22, 2015 2:30 pm

I love the grill work! It's a beautiful helmet, Tomi. I can't wait to see it complete.

Halberds · Post by **Halberds** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 2:25 am

Hell yes, now that's a good looking helm.
Your take on the grill just sets it off.

Good stuff.

Pitbull Armory · Post by **Pitbull Armory** » Tue Nov 24, 2015 12:31 am

Super nice work Tomi, I love the bar grill. Did you draw it out first? or just start bending stuff?

Have a good week

Good job, congratulations.

Ghostpig · Post by **Ghostpig** » Wed Nov 25, 2015 2:05 pm

Thanks everybody!

Andy, the grill frame was somewhat planned but the rest was freestyle. I first bent a mock up out of a thinner wire and when I was happy, I bent the round bar and welded it on.

white mountain armoury · Thu Nov 26, 2015 9:25 am

Nice job, I have made quite a few of those, yours looks very nice.

Ghostpig · Post by **Ghostpig** » Tue Dec 01, 2015 11:52 am

Thanks, WMA!

Helmet is now done.

Nice looking Intercissa helm.

I am a tough crowd, too.

It is time for a new project!

This time it is not a commission but just for the pleasure of smacking steel and a bit of a challenge to myself. I'll try to do something in the line of this particular helmet:

I will try to include at least some of the fine file work, engraving and gold leaf.

I have started with the top halves. I will need to make an extension piece to the back. I'll take better pics once I have more to show.
