Re: Helm padding recommendations

Thank you! I would love to do the suspended liner as that is what came with the helm, but is long gone at this point. I wish I had it to use as a pattern. The helm is already drilled and setup for it. I'll have to take a look and see if I can find a working pattern that my non artistic hands can rep...

Helm padding recommendations

Greetings, I am trying to put some armor together for my comeback ;-) Anyhow I have a pigface bascinet and I want to pad it nicely. In the past I have always just forced foam into strategic place and made it bend to my will until the helm fit. I checked the pattern page and didn't see any articles t...

Re: Looking for Plastic or nylon sword blanks

Thanks for the info. We had a fighter who brought some from out of kingdom several years ago and I have fought against it, didn't have a problem being hit by it, but he wasn't an overly hard hitter.

Looking for Plastic or nylon sword blanks

I'm looking for a piece of round stock plastic or nylon or similar material to use on the pell. I must not be entering the correct search criteria because I'm not finding anything when I search. Perhaps I have the material incorrect. Do you know of any suppliers for this material? Thanks you, Gawain

Re: Aventail question

Thanks for the suggestions and examples. I have done some chain work before, but wanted to make sure I did a good job on this project. So I was looking for a guide. I'll give the search suggestions a try. Yes the armor is for SCA, I am just getting back into it and having to build a whole new kit. T...

Aventail question

Hello,

I'm looking for a pattern or suggestion for making an aventail.
I just ordered a bascinet it comes with the vervails.

I was looking for suggestions for attaching using a leather band around the helm, patterns for the aventail and any helpful suggestions.

Thanks

Scott
