Greetings. Been a really F'ed up year or so but I am back to making armor. I am still trying to get the kinks out and catch up on a few back orders, but I hope to be all free and clear soon. I am also out of stainless steel and it will probably take me a awhile to get up the cash to buy another sheet. So until then, I am going to make mild steel stock helmets and non-helmet items (gorgets, gauntlets, etc). As soon as I get $300 for stainless -I'll get back on this list. From now on I will only take one commission at a time. It took 20 years to happen, but taking so many orders and payment up front finally caught up to me and it was a disaster! I learned my lesson. I looked up my last update and it seems that my current status is:
1) John Welch (14g SS Russian Helmet) - 0% Fiinished.
2) Rex Meyer (14g SS Kettlehelm) - 0% Fiinished.
3) Jim Nesbitt (14g SS Skullcap) - 0% finished.
Everyone elses order was finished and shipped months ago during my scramble to remain above water...
If your not on the list and should be -please contact me.

Re: Hjalmarhiem Armoury -back from the dead!
Any chance of you getting 12g stainless (or mild I suppose)? I ordered an ACL helmet in 12 mild and when it eventually gets destroyed, I'd thought about pulling the visor off it and moving it to a new helm. Just a thought.

Re: Hjalmarhiem Armoury -back from the dead!
how much would a sheet of 12ga stainless cost you? I believe that some of the ACL guys and my self would be intrested in buying helmets in that guage. I would really like a kettle helm in the 12ga stainless. Let me know and I will see if I can get some guys to buy helmets. Also unlike SCA fighting ACL helmets need replacing every once and a while. Steady work, 
Edward

Or for that matter, 4130 is quit cheap and welds easily with a good stick welder and the right rods (or TIG, I think) and then just let the buyers worry about heat treating. Of course they wouldn't need replacing as often.

I will ask tomorrow. my last sheet of 14g was a tad over $300 (4 x 10).
