Heres a helm I made for a kid in Michigan.
He saw the one I had made with a red leather drape and wanted one with a stainless drape. This was a classic case of me saying " Good god I'm not making that again in stainless" and forgetting how much of a pain the embossing and fluting was. Especially in the crook where the flute goes in between the embossing, and then praying that the embossing lines up on both halves.
If this helm is seen out at practice it deserves a good wack.

Also I did this after hours, after I was done hammering away on the 12 helms of christmas.

I think it came out just fine, Those top flutes can be tough.

I bet you have been busy, and this is the last work day left for you.

Merry Christmas.

No I get to work tomorrow, which is my choice. My wife has to work so I figured ehh. I can maybe finish up another side commission.

That's a very handsome hat.
Only recently have I noticed how nice the helms coming out of Windrose Armory are, and I sorta want one...

Sorry about your customer lost his job. I am in the same boat...luckily I traded a nice sword and sheath and belt to Halberds for mine. A Lot of us out her that thought we would never loose our jobs are in the same fix. Great quality like this...you will sell it quick on the classifieds on the archive. Gulf Wars is only a few months away...
