OKAY.... the real world has been kicking my ass and we took a second trip to Guatemala to visit our son over Memorial Day Weekend. I have not done anything with this armor since posting this thread back in February and it's time for it to go 'cause we're hoping our adoption will be over soon and we...

Not much help on the weight.... what gauge and type of stainless? G I use 304 stainless for pretty much everything. The fingers are 18 ga. and the hand part is either 18 or 16 ga. I have used both depending on what the customer wanted. I don't remember which these were though. Been a while since I ...

I'm considering these, but am wondering about if they spread your fingers much. My hands have a bit of arthritis in them and after any amount of time with the fingers splayed tend to scream at me. I'm wondering how far apart these put your fingers. They do have metal between every finger, so there ...

I do not have a scale, but I use them for great weapons, they do not seem that heavy. Insane Irish said his were heavier.

I would like a clear winner, no teams or sides, and the simpler, the better.
Any ideas?

These do not fit my persona They are amazing finger gaunts. Every finger grounds out, the thumb is enclosed. It is safe and accepted in any kingdom that I know of. I have been fighting great sword with them but now I need to tighten my kit up a bit. The glove inside is a Mens Large . I will run thes...

I ordered a sword from someone in Canada, it showed up from UPS. About a week later, UPS contacted me and told me I owed them x$s for broker shipping. I told them I did not contract work from them/ nor did I ever talk to anyone at UPS so I owed them nothing. They told me they would let it go "t...

Oh boy,....... This sucks. I hate it when crap like this happens,.. again... Gavin (the person who's helm is in question) pm'd me and I finally got a hold of Waldryk. Hopefully Gavin's helm will be mailed to him by the 1st of this coming week. I do not know what has taken Firedrake steel this long, ...

I think that letting armor go with a balance due is not wise...... However, letting someone know their piece is done, then they pay, and you ship is how the world of merchandise works. It is a simple equation.......you see product you like, you hand me money, I Hand you product. When people stray fr...

WOW!! Dont stop bidding on my account I'm surprised it got up this here this fast. Usually it happens at the end. I know since the Moore Bros quit making them, no one has filled their market share. They were definately top notch gauntlet makers. Thanks all for the bids! Sean of the Chipendales

These do not fit my persona, and I cannot justify taking the fingers off for spares, so..... I am selling these As you can see by my pics, my hands are a little over 8" long and 5" at the thumb knuckle wide. They are brand new and show no signs of rust, or of being used. The gloves are in ...

Ok, I do not think people should be penalized for multiple entries. I think all votes on any of their artwork is a vote for the winner. SO, With that in mind, I vote for Hanlin. #21 I like his Professional look that would go SCA or mundane. I also like his mindset about "letting it all hang out...

:D Wow.... these keep getting better and better!! Just a note, we will be doing the voting thread on the 18th of March, after Gulf wars ( I didnt realize three weeks put us still at Gulf wars! LOL!) I think they will start a new "voting thread tomorrow or after. Sean of the Chipendales
