Pricing of a visor

Nothing firm just yet but I'm interested in a second visor for my helm. What I am thinking about is a plate face visor instead of a houndskull. What can folks do and how much ?? AND turnaround time just a guess is fine.

I asked this question a while ago and nobody replied. I think you'll probably have to ask individual armourers.

Doesnt Platearmor do these, could of swore I saw a helm from them, that wasnt a bar grill, but was plate cut out in whatever form.

The person I am remebering had their helm with the face plate with like horses or whatever cut out from it.

Is that what your thinking of?

Myself, I was looking for a hounskull for a bascinet I have.

If you send me a picture of what you might want I will gladly see what I could do for you on a visor.
I am currently finishing a Klapvisored bascinet up for stock that I can show you for an example.

Thanks

Are you talking about doing one of the rounded face type visors, often found with the top center mount ? "Plate face" doesn't really say much to me.. or are you asking for a Face visor to go on a bascinet ?

Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand the request

One similiar to this on Matt's thread. I guess I should have said klapvisor.

I have the bascinet, I just want to adjust it so it can be interchangeable to use in tournies. The bargrill would still be a mainstay for Melee work..

Did you e-mail me about this already? You'll probably find a lot of armourers don't want to work on stuff other people have made. That's why I don't want to do it.

If you want a new helmet I can do an interchangable Klap and bargill shaped like a Klap.

No I didn't Matt. I decided just last night about looking into this. Part of my problem as you stated is that I'm not looking for an entire helm just the visor. The helm I have fits just too damn well for my tastes and I don't want to part with it for several reasons. I realize alot of folks won't want to do just the visor as a stand alone project, but I gotta try..

If you would send me your email and I will send you a picture of a the way that I do Klapvisored visor's, I would send you a picture through AA but I can not get it to work.

If you like what you see we can talk about making just the visor, I am not afaid of working on another persons work good or bad :twisted:

Thanks

Edited due to a foot in my mouth.

Mad Matt · Post by **Mad Matt** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 7:12 pm

I told you you'd be further ahead financially due to the fact that you'd have to ship me the helm, pay the taxes and border inspection fee that is charged when things come to canada from the US and then I'd have to take off the original grill and by the time that was all done you'd be better off getting a new helm.

That's all true not a bunch of crap.

Lets say your helmet is worth $150 (probably more then that though)
$25 ships me the helmet.
$5 border handling fee.
$19.50 in taxes when it arrives.
$25-50 in labour to remove the old bargrill.

Total roughly $75-100
Even if you sold your helmet for $50 less then you paid for it you're still further ahead. The helmet part of the Klapvisored helmet is only $150. So it'd cost you $50 more and you've got a bargrill bascinet you can probably get $200 for.

Doesn't sound like I fed you a bunch of crap now does it?

I hadn't made the decision that I wouldn't work on other people's helms at the time I sent you the e-mail.

Just to be clear I have no problem with you linking to my site as a reference for what you want. My post may not have made that clear.

No worries from me on it Matt. I just grabbed that thread cause it had pretty much what I had been thinking about. Your post was actually the "Spur" to get me thinking on it.
I understand your unwillingness to take on a project like this and agree, the customs, shippings and what not would be more hassle than I want to deal with.
BUT come spring myself or a buddy of mine will be ordering your coat of plates kit. Leaving Canada is cheaper than sending there.

Mad Matt · Post by **Mad Matt** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 10:00 am

Hey Leaving Canada costs nothing but the shipping cost as long as canada post is used.

Bjorn I've actually had 3 people e-mail me looking for a visor for their helmet wasn't sure if Angusm0628 was one of them because I didn't go check.

I wasn't trying to up sell you I was trying to save you money.

A lot of policies have changed in the last 4 days. Not sure if they're updated on my site. My site is going through a large update.

I'm not trying to get into a pissing match I'm just defending my actions which you claim were unscrupulous. I have that right.

I sincerely hope you find someone to do your visor and the transaction works out great for you. If you really liked the look of my visor feel free to use it as a reference for the armourer you choose.

I've actually sent business to other people because I felt they would do a better job for a better price on some of the things people have asked for. Having a happy customer is more important to me then making a sale. There are many people on here who can attest to that.

Anyway apologies for the thread hijack but I'm sure you can understand my need to defend myself. Good luck to both of you in getting what you want and if there's anything I can do to help let me know.

I thought that was very admirable :wink:

Mad Matt · Post by **Mad Matt** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 10:52 pm

Some of my posts may seem out of place now as they were in response to Bjorn's posts.

Leaving them up because I don't like to take back things I've said and because some of the info may be usefull.

Sorry for any confusion.
