Thanks; Frederich Von Teufe, for the essay. It is helping me working with all my new calculations for all the new armour I have been patterning out. I also feel that the younger armourers should all go by it before getting started and watch out for the people. For I and alot of you have seen this ha...

Don't forget the home front. (good, and bad) If your family don't suport you, (bad) If you have a wife who is a good book keeper (good) If you find that they like going to events but won't help get ready for them (bab) When you have a good run and your wife goes out and spends the money (bad) What I...

Randal Scott You refuseing final payment, is the base line. I had changed credit card companies, and they required the V-code (also known as the the security code) so as I explained numerus times to you that I couldn't run your card without it, and you woudn't give it to me, nor send me a check, mon...

Willing Pell Do you remember what resist you used on the stainless? I use a rubermaid pan (with lid) and set it out in the sunlight so the sun keep the Ferric chloride warm and it still takes hours to get a good etch. I would slosh about every 1/2 hour to rotate the Ferric chloride and make sure my ...

OK Ugo I gues the Mandy wasn't good enough to drag you out here to Ky. So what are some of your interest, so I might intice you from the west coast at least for a little while. How long have I known you?, 12 to 13 years and you havn't made it out to my shop in all that time. (you know I'm now trying...

LOL the old super shene story. I have done leather for a long time and I quit useing the super shene for a couple reason. 1. when it gets hot it gets sticky and can stick leather together. 2. cracks. I use wax on the back ( I melt it in with a heat gun or blow dryer ) and Kiwi polish on the front (a...

I have been doing both for 14 pluss years and the only way most people can tell is if their is some rust or they would look at the back for the paint that I always do to reg. steel. What I use is the quick finish emery buff of 120 grit. I let dry and take out the harder scratches and then go over ag...

Randal Scott Once agian you just cant wait to try slaming my name again. You could have called me or you could have written me, No you just want to try to kick someone as much as you can. To inform the people that dosn't know what is truely going on, Randal refused the correct information to finish ...

You have to iron it on the metal. You will mess up a couple of sheets at first, but I will save you a little (warm up the metal first) But not too hot.

Goodluck

Well! Ugo, You have been taking so much time to get out here, and some 6ft 4in farm boy has nabed her up, at this time. You will just have to come and show her who is worthy of her favor. A man of art and skill in the arts, or some farm boy with a shovel of cow ($#!*). Well, Lady Ronin, just an aver...

I like your progress and it looks good. I wonder if it will work with stainless steel. I'm still using acid, and I would love a less corosive way. I gues I will have to try this method. As for the design of the gauntlets give me a call and I should be able to help you out with the articulation. If y...

Looks like you did a fair good job so far. You got the shape down. I myself use 2 straps on each thumb side by side with about almost a straps width between them. It is always hard to tell about your movement range by the photos, but if you need help, give me a call or an PM.

Gregory J. Liebau; 18 months? Mandy is 25 almost 26, and Ugo has his eyes on her to. I'll stay out of this one. meaddrinker; I did have a photo of her but my computer caught a virus and I lost it. Sorry. As for the fittings I form fitted it and had several fittings to make sure all was well. AB Hammer

AB Hammer

They are designed to be worn over a simple knee cop leather, steel, ect. this is to give the vision of historics and allows the freedom of a single cop underneath.

If you have any more questions please give me a call.

You will find most have a 23 1/2 to 24 inch head to be tha average, the seconed groop will be the 23 to 23 1/2 inch groop. Women tend to be from 22 to 23 and there are still alot of bigboys who have 24 1/4 and better. The biggest I ever built a helm for was a person with a 27 inch head and we could ...

AB Hammer

I do several helm in just 2 halves and they can hurt you in 13ga. stainless, so be carefull. I have sometimes hurt myself forming one out, then I would stop that project and do something lighter for awile and come back to it later. But I'm starting to get old (15 to 20 years older that alot here) I ...
