I would like to add a drape to the back at least, a full drape if I can’t think of something for the face, but I’m having difficulty picturing the anticlastic shape of the slats that would be needed... I’m also planning to knock the point off the cheeks, as I would like to edge them in some leather ...

I reread that and understood a bit better. I found tempus’ FB page, are there other vendors doing the laser cut grill stuff? I’m coming up empty searching the AA.

Sigurd Fjalarson

I do like the brass idea, are you suggesting covering the whole lower faceplate? Wouldn’t I need to drill breath holes in it? I was planning to use fabric on the skull portion, I wanna do a small maille drape on the back portion as well. The face is my least liked feature. I will have to try looking...

Hey guys, my wife bought me a zweihammer style Vendel kit to help get me back into fighting. There’s a lot of these out there, so I kinda want to make mine stand out a little. Problem is I’m not very creative. So my question is If it were you making the helm, what things would you do to it? Edit to ...

Hey konstantin my search-fu is failing on the gamboised cloth part... Would you be able to point a guy in the right direction? I'm thinking a mix of hardened leather and cloth will be most effective. Though I will probably try the laminated canvas for hidden graves as well!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Wow, thanks! So water hardening is such that glue hardening isn't really recommended? I assumed there was some difference... Thanks for the other info though, cloth definitely will be incorporated. I already have some thick and some relatively thin leather hence expense not being at the top of the l...

Sigurd Fjalarson

So as an apartment dweller I can't work metal. But what I've worked with before and can work at home is leather! I found Sir Vitus' glue hardening tutorial and thought given my persona is migration era scandinavian and its all mainly hidden this would be perfect. What I wanted to do was throw some q...

Sigurd Fjalarson

Would anyone be able to point me towards decent patterns for tunics, especially the crossover style, and pants that can be adapted for fighting patterns. My search is failing me and I'm not locating much usable patterns for migration era Scandinavians clothing.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Maille sale pending. Plackart still available! Also gonna add some yardage of linen and will in the morning.

Sigurd Fjalarson

No problem, just let me know!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Complete understand Klaus! I can split it up if I need to. I'd have to try to figure out the pricing side though, which is rather wonky when you have the aforementioned kult and icefalcon to compare to...

Sigurd Fjalarson

Up again.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Bump...

Sigurd Fjalarson

Back up!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Price reduced!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Hopeful bump!

Sigurd Fjalarson

The guy who started building it for himself before it came to me was 6'2" and a bout 260 or so. I can snap some pics with my tape on it, but its just the start of the hauberk, so essentially its a large square with a circle in the middle, and the start of a sleeve.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Bumpage.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Once more to the top!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Monday bump. Transition in to a new job so would really like to offload these, so make me an offer and let me know if ya need more specific pictures!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Once again to the top...

Sigurd Fjalarson

Bump with some pics!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Back to the top. Been trying to get these pics off my phone to be any good.

Here's my post with 9mm rings for sale. Both riveted and solid, also have riveting pliers!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Absolutely! I will snap some one when I get off work and return home, so about midnight here on the west coast.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Back to the top!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Bump!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Once more to the top! Make me an offer on stuff, and let me know if you need pics of specific items!

Sigurd Fjalarson

Back to the top. Had planned to just sell things as a lot but I guess things could be separated if needed.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Bump back up. Will add more pics today since i have the day off.

Sigurd Fjalarson

Heres a pic of the plackart:

Sigurd Fjalarson

So looking at prices I'm thinking about $250 for the maile stuff, and $150 on the plackard. I'm open to entertaining offers obviously, so let me hear 'em. Also let me know what pictures you'd like to see.

Randy

Sigurd Fjalarson

No need to hammer. Just line up the rivet in the ring, line that up with the notch in the pliers and give it a good squeeze! And let me snap a photo of the plackart. Gotta dig out my tailors tape.

Sigurd Fjalarson

It's 9mm ID. And coming up with a reasonable price point is part of the challenge at the moment.

Sigurd Fjalarson

So I've got some wedge riveted maille supplies that I'm just not going to use. Lack of time and all that. I have about 10 pounds of riveted rings, 10 pounds or so of solid rings, the yoke and start of a sleeve to a hauberk for a bigger dude and a standard that just needs some repair work. Setting pl...
