I've got a message into Dave over at Rough from the Hammer, hopefully he gets back to me, he's fairly busy.
Hadn't thought about Mel. Good call, brother!!

Greetings Cousins,

I'm looking for advice/direction/recommendations for an armoury for a pair of Couters/Soupcan knees and elbows.

Thank you for your considerations.

Steve S,

I looked at the pattern archive, however both examples look to be mid 14th century models. I actually need Dargen, which Ersnt was good enough to post!
Thank you gentles!

Hmmm, I wonder what the dimensions might be on those plates? Any ideas, lads?

jamesedgarson

Hello Gentles! Happy New Year, albeit a little late. I have had requests to try my hand at pre-14th century Great Helms. Essentially, what I'm looking for is patterns for the good old, flat-top, barrel with the re-enforced cross guard. WISH I had pics to describe what I mean?! ..but if you search 'C...

jamesedgarson

Agreed, Losthelm. Looks to be old kit from one of the groups, SCA/Adrian Empire etc. ACL is too new for this stuff, but maybe a HEMA fighter? I'm thinking the seller really has no idea what the value of the pieces are and is just tossing the number out there. It would be interesting to have a hands ...

Greetings Cousins, What is the protocol in America for selling goods acquired through fraudulent means? In Canada it's essentially the same as selling stolen goods. Is it the same in the States? Very sad to read this post. Truly hope it's a simple mistake, however, in my experience these are never s...

Thanks so much, Big Fred. Much appreciated. I've got their knees, elbows, gorgets one helm and demi's done, plus half a cuirass. Still have a helm to make, two baskethilts, two shields, a cuirass and a half cuirass, and spaulders. And we'll have two new fighters on the field! I LOVE IT!!!!! James Ed...

Greetings Cousins! I know a while back, someone had posted a pic of a DIY plastic cuphilt, does anyone have a pattern or pic of the design? As I recall, it was the thicker white barrel plastic. I'm putting together a couple of kits for new folks and I'd rather not buy a cuphilt if I don't have to, s...

Greetings Gentles, I am on quest to find a cheap bascinet to fit a 23.5 inch head. It can be old, it can be rusted, it can be something you have laying around in the back of your closet that you thought was a chamber pot and very well might have used it as such. :) I do not care. As long as it is sa...

Bar Grill, but may have one from a local chap.

Seasons Greetings,

I'm looking for a grill for a conical top helm. Please contact for dimensions and discussion.

Thank you.

Speaking of a 14th century Scot. :) http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-38242781 I'm hoping the link works. If it doesn't, the article pertains to the digital reconstruction of Robert the Bruce's visage (or as near as may be hoped). All representations of the Bruce have come from artists imagination...

Greetings all you wonderful armour folk!!! This summer I picked up a conical helm top from Rough from the Hammer. I'm looking to bang out a norman-esque helm (something like a norman helm but more a generic 11th - 12th century hat). It doesn't need to be perfect, it's just for me. :) However, I woul...

jamesedgarson

That's a great looking helm!

...as far as making 'starter helms'...*sigh* I have seen some truly gifted armourers lose their minds trying to pander to individuals who want Ugo Serrano hat on a Freon can budget. It's a laudable endeavor, and I wish you luck.

jamesedgarson

You're looking for Sir Haroun. His hidden plastic leg armour is famous across the SCA. I'm not certain that he makes them or any other armour en mass. As I recall he does it one piece at a time for friends and household members. I'm sure if you do some digging under the name Sir Haroun, you'll find ...

jamesedgarson

I can't agree more; come to practice, put the time in and EARN the free stuff. As the saying goes 'nothing in life is free'. And in the SCA there really is such a thing as sweat equality; make an effort to try, and someone will help you. There isn't a group in the Knowne World that doesn't have some...

Greetings Gentles, I have a pair of absolutely gorgeous stainless knees in soup can style. These are made for the mighty in the game, measuring 15 1/2 inches across the front and 6 1/2 inches tall. These regularly sell for $100 USD plus shipping but these I am willing to let go for $75 USD plus ship...

Greetings Gentles, I have a nifty 14g mild Great Helm that would be an awesome addition to any groups starter kit or as a new entry level helm for someone who's just getting the bug! It fits my 23 1/2 head with room for comfort, it is padded and ready to ship. $100 USD plus shipping. I'm always open...

Greetings Gentles, I have a lovely bascinet for sale; all 14g mild steel, grill with excellent neck protections, fits my 23 1/2 head perfectly, it's padded with holes drilled for a drape. This beauty can be yours for $150 USD plus shipping. I'm always open to reasonable offers! James Edgarson http:/...

I may be interested in the sabatons depending on the price/shipping and amount of work I'd need to complete them.

jamesedgarson

I wonder if they also differentiate between a pike and a long spear by the functionality of pike 'teams', by this I mean the hook and stab teams; one man uses his pike to stab while another uses the hook on the backside of some pikes to pull the opponents weapons aside, much akin to how SCA spearmen...

jamesedgarson

Greetings Kind Gentles, Looking for interest/advice/comments on Greathelms, does anyone think there might be a demand for a low cost, very simple Greathelm? Something in 14g cold rolled. Basic design, for SCA combat. And if there is, what is the fair market value for said helm? Please voice any inte...

jamesedgarson

Vladimir,

Excellent job! Well done indeed, sir!!

jamesedgarson

Ya, how much for the reinforced mail standard, Klaus? Is shipping included?

jamesedgarson

Just want to put a plug in here for Dougal. I picked a pair of his padded Chausses last month, they got here quick, they are very well made, just enough padding for armoured combat that you feel the blows and are extremely simple to use. I am a very happy customer.

Hang in there, Matt. You have a solid reputation and the fact that you are back and trying speaks volumes towards your character. Your health is the single most important thing. Go slow, just explain things to folks, they'll understand. You are doing the right thing.

Yours in service,
James Edgarson

"Also, check to see if it is truely small all around or if it is narrow side to side because the halves weren't dished enough. I've seen plenty of helms like shark-fins. If you push the side out (maybe with a bottle jack) it will come in front to back and be more of the proper shape" Thanks Sean Pow...
