Hey whonew, just saw this. Question, do you predrill all the rivet holes, and do you supply some sort of directions for those of us who are, shall we say, a bit stoopid?

And for anyone, since these do not ground out, to make them legal, do you simply need to pad the individual fingers?

Posted: **Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:14 pm**

All holes are predrilled.Knuckle bucklers are included to make them SCA "legal" or you can pad the fingers as per you local marshal requirements. I will give all instruction material needed and always available for email assisstance. Hope that helps. cheers

Definitely. Hopefully I can get my shite straight, as once I pay my other bills, I wanna order a pair. Blued metal on some nice gloves, those would be perfect for my late or early period stuff.

And I asked because I would prefer not to use finger buklers unless absolutely (read: anal marshal won't let me fight) necessary.

Re: padding fingers, I just wear a padded glove under the gauntlet. Simple and no disassemble required.

How much would you charge for just the finger pieces? (with the two thumb pieces)

"Blued metal on some nice gloves, those would be perfect for my late or early period stuff."
I can also put the kit together so all you do is sew [for a fee lol]

Posted: **Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:13 pm**

Oh that's pretty. 2 questions, what'd you blue with? Is it durable? And...how much?

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:38 am**

these were done with "gun blue" . an extra $25

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:51 pm**

Do you sell just the fingers and thumbs? I wear demi-gauntlets while jousting for better grip on the reins but would love to have some covering on my fingers (just in case of an errant lance tip . . . ).

See my review above for comments on a completed pair of gauntlets.

You WILL NOT be disappointed with these kits!

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2009 1:30 pm**

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:14 pm**

Posted: **Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:57 am**

4 pairs shipped . I plan to keep 5 or 6 sets in stock. Price will be adjusted after this sale[shipping and bucklerls will be extra. Hopefully we will see pics when finished'\. This is how kit ships cheers Les

sooo....Whonew, did you decide on a price for just the finger and thumb tip and long plates and knuckle gadlings as a kit? I'm going to build up a set of Zweihammer gauntlets and leave off some plates to use as a demi, and your finger plates are some of the best I have seen, and would work well for this project.

Posted: **Mon Nov 23, 2009 6:01 pm**

so how much for just the fingers blued and attached to leather?

Posted: **Thu Nov 26, 2009 11:44 pm**
