Very nice!!! It is shocking how much structural/shape strength a rolled edge gives.

Mlanteigne

Wow! Beautiful!

Mlanteigne

Thanks Sean!

Who is making these other than forge of svan/age of craft? Does anyone make a kit for these for the DIY'ers out there?

Thanks!

Mlanteigne

Sean, where did you buy the slats from? Was it here in Canada?

Mlanteigne

Ringlord?

Mlanteigne

Klaus I'll sens u a pm with my email addy.

Mlanteigne

They shoukd fit. Length is ok. My thigh is 23" at the bottom of the groin but can probably widen them.

Yeah pics would be awesome!

Mlanteigne

That works for me as there is no rush. Do you know roughly what size your legs are?

Also whst did you modify on them?

Mlanteigne

Hey Folks, Looking for a set of these legs, to compliment my arm harness...if you have a set please let me know if you are willing to part with them for a good price. I have attached a picture of them in the as an upload. Also I am in Canada, so shipping will be killer so the package would be crossi...

Mlanteigne

Hey Kel! You are #2 in line. Just sorting out details now so I'll keep you posted. Thanks!

Mlanteigne

Hey Folks, I am selling my Indian made chain maille shirt. I think it is 9mm, flat rivetted/solid ring. It's 32" from shoulder to bottom, and the sleeves are short (I cut them, but will send the pieces to whoever buys it). I have a 43" chest and a 34" waist and it fit me with room to spare, with a p...

Hey Willy, sending you a pm re: purse

Mlanteigne

How much to ship the girdle purse to Ontario, Canada roughly?

Mlanteigne

What about their mild steel offerings?

Mlanteigne

Thanks Seamus.

Mlanteigne

Thanks!

Mlanteigne

What are people's experiences with them? How is the quality...delivery times etc. etc.

Mlanteigne

Watching this thread with interest.

Mlanteigne

Hey Augusto, in your description of the Bascinet, near the bottom you mispelled "drilled". In reference to the verveille holes. Other than that it looks good.

There are a few spelling and grammar errors on home page too. Want me to pm you with those?

Mlanteigne

If you want a proper made gambeson based on the Charles de Blois one with grand assiette sleeves for optimum movement, contact Aurora Simmons. She is in Canada but that will be to your advantage with the US dollar. She can pad it to your specs too. This is her jewelery website but her email is there...

Mlanteigne

What an incredible thread! Hope your house issues are over so you can get back to armouring!

Mlanteigne

Klaus, yes please send me a pm.

Boris, yeah no combat at all. Be for an archer for reenactment purposes.

Mlanteigne

Looking for a bascinet, plain (I like the rear pointed ones). It's for an archer impression for reenacting so 18-16 gauge is fine. Just the helm with nothing else is good. Anyone have any recommendations? Cheaper the better too. My noggin is about 23".

Mlanteigne

May I also say you should keep it? It's one of those things u would regret down the road and end up replacing. I say clean it up, put it on an armour stand somewhere in your house.

Mlanteigne

Interested.

Mlanteigne

Chest size?

Mlanteigne

Chest size?

Mlanteigne

Definitely interested.

Mlanteigne

Happy New Year!

Mlanteigne

A sadly normal practice for some of them.

Mlanteigne

What size of a hand would these fit? Large?

Mlanteigne

Did you try contacting him via pm here first?

Mlanteigne

Congrats to all!
