Is the helm still available?

Gùnthaar

If they send it back, PM me.......

PM sent this morning

Gùnthaar

Did this helm sell?

Gùnthaar

Sir,
How much for an unpolished full finger gauntlet kit?

Gùnthaar

You stated sell or trade, what are you interested in trading for?

Gùnthaar

Are there any Pics or video's of the event?

Stick with straight argon. Don't use hardenable rod on anything armor related, even when joining hardenable metals. Welding together a 400 series stainless helm? Use mild stainless rod. Using 1045 carbon steel or higher? Use a mild steel rod. Same goes for the steel alloys like 4140. A hard weld is...

I have to agree with Chris, I have used them while welding for my job and I stopped after a short time, I have even tried the $800 Speedglass hoods and wasn't really impressed. I use a Fibremetal Hood with a flip lens, I cut the hood down and add leather in places to lighten the hood and get it into...

Practice, Practice, Practice, oh and did I mention Practice? I have been welding professionally in the petro-chemical industry for the better part of 20 years, and I am currently a Certified Welding Inspector. Auto Darkening Lenses are great but not necessary. Large gas lenses are also fantastic, bu...

I have "goals", I am SCA and getting on the field safely is priority, I have leather scale chest and shoulders that will be eventually replaced by klibanion, an older bascinet helm that will be replaced with a Ocular type helm, possibly with a scale aventail. most of the rest of the kit is hidden, a...

Again thank you Sir! I cannot express how monumentally helpful you have been.

Gùnthaar

Thank You Sir! I am going round. Additional question, Jomsviking, fact or fiction and would some have enlisted in the Varangian Guard?

Gùnthaar

OK I do have a Shield Question, can I do a center grip Oval for the 1055-1080 period or center grip round/ kite only?

I like them because they already have a light paddi...

Gùnthaar

OK, no Problem, just let me know when you are ready to sell.

Gùnthaar

I am interested in a tavern model. Are there any left?

Gùnthaar

Thin metal, like steel banding -- on account of the overlaps of the scales doubling everything up. Also that it would be on a flexible substrate which would yield under blows and escape the scales being bent up that way. Just trying like heck to use up a bunch of scaley bits? What's on your hips AT...

Gùnthaar

Thanks again for all of your input, does anyone have any idea of a gauge of steel or banding material would work for an aventail?

Gùnthaar

Nice, Thank you! I wonder though if a Viking or Rus would have worn one? Specifically, Varagian Guardsman circa late 1100s-1200s?

Gùnthaar

Has anyone seen or preferably have pics of a Lamellar Aventail?

Gùnthaar

I finally fixed the helm................I sold it............I did let the guy know what it does and he said he would work on it. Thanks for all the advice.

Gùnthaar

Wow, that is a great looking helm. I wonder if that was a standard issue helm or if it came from a particular area of the world?

Gùnthaar

Would these types of helm's work for a Varangian Guard persona? I really like the way they look.

Gùnthaar

Also, how long of a screw do you use to mount to pommel?

Gùnthaar

and these are aluminum, am I correct? They are beautiful!

Gùnthaar

Isabella, "Galvanized" means that they are coated in Zinc to prevent rusting. This becomes a problem if you heat "Galvanized" steel or weld it. Basically, zinc has a much lower melting point than steel. When you heat it, it vaporizes, you breathe it in and it coats the inside of your lungs making y...

I will open up my body more! Lord knows there is enough there to hit!

Thanks so much for the tips! I will try the cord and see how it goes!

It's Welded.

IT'S THE BAR GRILL! I had tried everything else and I accidentally figured it out after Sunday's practice. I tried to deaden it with duct tape but it essentially makes a full face when the ringing stops. If I could post pics, I would, cause it looked funny! So other than buying a new helm or replaci...
