Re: Ironmonger Armory review, My T-slot barbute is here!

Oh. I'd like to add that I really like his measurement system over common circumference measurement, as I have kind of a long head front to back and helms that should fit by circumference don't fit on me. and ones that do tend to have side play. you can see a video of his measuremens here http://www...

Re: Jousting toys

looking at the original picture posted the base, horse, wheels, knight, and reins are all separate pieces, cast and then riveted (for lack of a better word). the legs of the nights have "nails" and the reins do too, also there is a definite line below the hooves. I also see 2 loops for stings below ...

looking for pricing for a moddified T-slot barbuta

Hi I was looking to get a quote on getting a helm made. I was looking for a T-slot barbuta with slightly wider openings for eyes and mouth. I know unfortunately this means running a grille, but it opens my vision and makes my breathing easier. I initially drew a rough picture of what I was looking f...
