I'm interested in a couple at each size. Thanks.

I need a source for cast steel rock crusher balls. I have a couple of tools I want to make and have heard these are good tough steel.

Any one have a good source for 3" - 4" steel balls? I'd prefer cast steel in a medium to high carbon range. I'm making a set of specialty tooling and only need a few.

Does any one have contact info for Hrothgar. Met him at the SCA 20yr. in Texas. Thanks.

EyvandR the crests look great.

Thanks for the good review on the Roman helm guys. I'll have a website up soon, but in the meantime you can contact me at tehuguenin@yahoo.com

I'm currently taking orders, but will keep the backlog under 6 months.

Wow Jeff, great looking 15th cent. harness. Who made it.

Yes, 304 stainless is weldable. With TIG I use 308 or 316 rod and argon gas. With MIG you'll get better results with 75/25 (CO2/argon) mixed gas. A tip with MIGing stainless, you have to move faster than welding mild steel. There's also more distortion with stainless; use lots of tacks before the fi...

I agree with Dan; a properly fitted Churburg works really well. I've made several in various sizes and the protection is great.

Halberds,
