thats weird i just talked to him earlier this week.
you can shoot him a pm here on the archive as well if you want.

Heath B fraychef

talk to jackie at shamrock armory.

Heath B fraychef

thats a sweet deal. good starter helm.

Heath B fraychef

wilhelm, you'll have to show me next time i see you.
i would like to check it out.

Heath B fraychef

do you have any pics of any you have made?

Heath B fraychef

i dissagree with the low budget = plastic comment. if you take your time and shop around you can put together a good kit for low cost without resorting to plastic. cheap cops are available from stonekeep (very cheap in fact) a sheet of aluminium you can get for 50 bucks and cut out plates for a coat...

Heath B fraychef

no, im already having one made. im having a cup hilt made more to the size of my hand that will cover what i need covered while leaving space for maneuvering the hand without impediment. i dont like the tendancy toward the large back plate so to speak, or the bars or whatever. i know they are there ...

Heath B fraychef

has anybody had a custom basket or cup hilt made?
im having one done which should be finished soon and was wondering if anyone else has gone this route.
i know its a more expensive option but i wanted something a little nicer than the in stock items most people stock.

Heath B fraychef

hell yeah.

Heath B fraychef

you can also strain your pasta and grate fresh parmesan.

Heath B fraychef

ah its the old chickenskugel bascinet.

That's pretty sweet.
Who smithed it, if you don't mind my asking?

jackie at shamrock armory.
and no i dont mind you asking at all

Heath B fraychef

How can you look at that picture and not stroke it?

Heath B fraychef

do these come with that spiffy white belt? because ive seen lots of people wearing those and wondered where i could pick one up?

Here is what inspired it

this helm was one of the big inspirations for me as well.

Heath B fraychef

well ill start things off with my helm.
im sure everybody has seen it by now but i can never resist showing it off.

Heath B fraychef

Here it is, under the chain, nothing too pretty to look at.... man what are you talking about? just because its not polished and shineydoes not mean its not beautiful. i was wondering about how that fit the face and how far under the chin it came. with it hinging like that it makes so much more sen...

Heath B fraychef

you do some fantastic work.

Heath B fraychef

after reading over my last post it seems to me that it could come across as a bit offensive. i meant no disrespect. personally i like them very much, and think you will not have much trouble selling them. btw that lamellar is probably the best i have ever seen. did you make that yourself? you should...

Heath B fraychef

im sure there are peoplke who would be interested. i have a few questions though. how are the heads affixed to the haft. in your pics its pretty unclear how they affix. 2nd why limit yourself to one or 2 particular style of axe head? you have now tempted people with what you "can" do but t...

Heath B fraychef

ive seen it done,
as long as the bevor comes up high enough and the sallet goes low enough that no gaps open up when the head is tilted you would be fine.

Heath B fraychef

Man jackie, you really need to update your website. not to knock any of the work you have on their already because there are some amazing helms there as it is. but because it lookst o me like youve just taken a step up lately with the amazing work you,ve been putting out. i know some of the more spe...

Heath B fraychef

i would be interested.

Heath B fraychef

so any chance of seeing under the chain?

Heath B fraychef

Drachenwald?
DRACHENWALD!!!!!
Great now ill never get to see this thing in person.
seriously amazing jackie. my wife may begin to hate you when i ask her if i can get another helm.

Heath B fraychef

oh man thats bad ass.can we see whats under the chain?

Heath B fraychef

seriously, i had my roommate hit me 4-5 time each time harder than the last. after the last shot i told him to hit me with a blow that would be a legal killing blow. he responded that the first was a good shot and the last was excessivly hard. so like i said befor it takes shots like a tank. ive had...

Heath B fraychef

like a tank.
amazingly solid, i have taken a few on the back point of the brim which is weird getting used to but other than that its the best helm ive ever used.

Heath B fraychef

nope. but its a good design, i wish you much luck in selling them.
i would love to see it when its done.

Heath B fraychef

honestly the price i feel was pretty reasonable. especially for what i ended up with. there was quite a bit that went into the helm and im sure alot of armorers would have charged much more. especially considering i kept adding things or changing the design. but we had several long conversations whe...

Heath B fraychef
