Help finding a picture
At one point in time there was some excellent pictures of the sliding rivets On the churburg segmented breastplate, but I can't seem to find them anymore. The ones that connect the center plate with the next two.

Re: padding for a crown
Fantastic! I take it the bands you typically see on reproductions are just a modern way of doing it?

Did the padding on the inside of a Crown have a specific name? And how was it made/attached?

How many of you get people to sign Liability waivers before they come learn in your shops to learn? If you don't mind sharing what they say that would be great.

rotary tool attachment
Anybody know if there is a dremil or jewelers motor attachment that can accept 1/4 shaft. I've noticed the airtool rotary files would work nice for some of the projects I do, but I really don't want to spend that much for a compressor.

Re: dishing/raising preforated steel
Thanks for the advice I'm my goal is basically fencing helmets made out of perforated stainless. Kinda like that guys masks but the face in one solid piece. It's been a project I've been mulling around in my head for a while.

Re: Kydex wisby gauntlet kit
I've actually been “working” on developing a kydex wisby gauntlet for a while now. I've got the mold for the knuckles/ back of the hand and have done a couple of test runs on the fingers. I didn't think people were that interested in them.

Re: Smith needed for pollaxe spikes
Just a suggestion but why don't you tap the head that way the spikes are like bolts. Then you don't have to fuss with making sure the all thread is the right length and the spike nuts are taped enough. If you do it that way the bolt will penetrate into the wood. Just a thought.

question about contact wheels
While this is mainly for knife grinding I thought it could also be Applied for smaller wheels more suitable for armour. So I've heard of people using mfd board to make 10" contact wheels. To me laminated plywood with a pice of leather glued to the contact surface seams a little less deadly. What doe...
