Re: New armourers Please show what you are working on.

I've melted some stuff. The gas is also pretty pricey I did all of my welded armour with Oxy-Aceteline. Back when I was in...

New armourers Please show what you are working on.
As an experienced armourer I'm always curious about what the new folks are making. Please provide pictures if you can or tell us what you are making. I'm helping some new guys make Coppergate helmets.

I'd be interested, but it would be a hell of a commute! we should discuss once COVID is less of an issue, I've been trying to hit Wade's study sessions for a few years, so maybe 2021 will be the year!

Re: Who are active armourers in the N. Illinois and S. Wisconsin?
I would be interested in seeing an armorer/armor workshop in the area. I went to Kenwrec's garage when he was in Woodstock (has since relocated to Florida) and I did some BotN prep with a few guys near Springfield... wow 8 years ago now. Anyway, I'm in Chicago again now. I am not an armorer myself,...
