Halberds

Well here it is 2021 already. I did finish up a tool kit in time for Christmas 2020. 2 flat rate boxes of Hal's intermediate armouring tools for a client. I am proud to have done this, with health issues I can not make tools as fast as I used to. Codytools 004.JPG A- Offset ball stake B-Tool holder ...

Halberds

Thanks for all the cool pics. Looking good.

Heat bluing is my favorite. Make sure the metal is clean and free from any oils or finger prints. I use a weed burner. Apply flame evenly over piece, stop just before the desired color. as it heats up a little. Do not touch the new blue as finger prints will discolor. When cooled down rub 3-in-1 oil...

Halberds

You are off to a good start RowanAmethyst, thanks for the pics.
I think my first piece was a pair of spaulders too.
Pay attention to Scott, he was my mentor also.

I have a tank bottom I do not use any more.
My doughnut made it obsolete.

I think for the Valsgrade the dishing form would be best for all the fiddly little Y pieces.
Ebay used to have cast iron dishing forms you clamp in your vice.

Halberds

Now that is a good story, thanks.

Halberds

Thanks for the video.

Dr. Talbot's booklet has all the patterns and how it's made instructions. I highly recommend it.

I'll get your prices posted.
Happy New Year.

I always have worries about my babies traveling by themselves. I am glad he got there safe and sound. I hope it is something you can create with. I was thinking... the flatter top would be good for bouge and the rounder sides for raising, rolling and shaping. Thanks all of you for looking. Look for ...

Critch I just bought an 80 cubic foot bottle of 25/75 for my MIG, it is about 35" tall for $200.00. It weighs 56 pounds and is still a struggle for an old timing man, to load in the car. I use the small 20 cubit foot bottle for my oxygen/ acetylene welding about 12" tall. The 8 cubic foot bottle is ...

What about something like this with fender washers?

The large washers would help stabilize the wood attachment.

Hal

Now that it has been running a while what can you tell us?

I guess it is never too late.
Bout like me, wearing small reading glasses while using my right angle grinder.
270 dollars later... and another rusted spark ground out of my eye.
I also wish I started wearing my respirator 30 years ago.

Hal

Halberds

It looks like it works very nice.

If ya need more weight on the head, lead castings of various sizes in the box tubing, and a thru bolt would allow interchangeably.

Thanks for the video.

With a name like "Accdntprone" may I offer my advice to be extra careful of your body parts.
