Hey Doug, I dont know if you remember me(I went to an AppleSeed event in IL and met you there about 10 years ago) but I'd be interested in you're Friday night hammer inn. I've been interested in armoring for awhile but sadly haven't given it enough time that it deserves😔. So being around experienced...

Ironic

Ironic

When would a b3 be needed in armouring when you already have a b2?

Ironic

I have a sugarloaf made by him that I want to sell of trade, but it's not springsteel.
Let me know if your interrested.

You tempt me sir. I'm looking for this style of helm and knotwolf makes the best IMO. But alas it's 3/4" small and not quite what I'm wanting. Also sounds like you should maybe keep it.

Ironic

AL, how does this bicorn compare to the one I already bought from you. Another more detailed picture of the horn would be nice if you could.

Ironic

Oh how I would like to witness one of theses in action.
This has got to be one of the coolest tools.

Ironic

What size head does it fit? And is that mild steel or SS?

Ironic

Hey AL I'll take it. If it hasn't already been taken

Ironic

I'll take all three!

Ironic

I'll take both hammer and stake.

Ironic

I'll take the remaining raising hammer.

Ironic

I'll take 'em if Ithinkiamreal isn't.

Ironic

I call second possible dibs also wanting to know the size.

Here are some of my measurements. (Hand span from thumb to pinky=8") (Width, strait across Palm =3.5")(Lenght from middle finger to bottom of wrist= 7.25")

From these measurements compared to yours would they fit?

Cool. About which part of Sterling you from? In town or outside in "country"?
I'm only a little bit south/west of Sterling about 30 minutes.

Ironic

Dibs on the guantlets if they fit my hands.

@Torvaldr
How may I determine if these will fit my hands?

Ironic

Interesting, thanks.

Yes sir!

What are you looking at doing?

We'll I'm sure I'll use it for many different things, but originally I'm wanting one to deburr
smaller steel pieces, in this case hand cut washers.

Ironic

Who knows when 'Thor's hammer' first began appearing? I'm curious.

Ironic

Hey guys, I'm looking for a tumbler to use for deburring smaller metal pieces. I'm asking here for any of you who have experiance with such a machine or know about them.
I'd probably want one that could hold at least the average size pieces of lamellar.

Ironic

I hope you stand back up and come out of this experience more determined to keep moving on.
May you farewell.

Ironic

Man the Ukrainians make some of the nicest helmets from what I can see, but seeing things like this make me scared to buy anything more from them :| . I did buy one helm from a Ukrainian (Tengushin) here from the archive and thankfully it all went pretty smooth for me. Good luck on getting your helm...

Ironic

I got curious and went looking.... Guinness Book of Records[edit] The Guinness Book of World Records (1985 edition) lists his feat of lifting 6,270 pounds (2844.02 kg) in a back lift as "the greatest weight ever raised by a human being". http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Paul_Ander...

I can keep it going to monday, but all that's left are some pretty small sized gorgets.

In that case, I'd be interested in one of your 14" brown gorgets.

Ironic

Aw darn I didn't realize this sale ended the 6th.
