This week-end's project? Buckler and a set of knees?

[taltosh]

So I've decided to work in the shop this week-end since the temp. is going to be in the mid 30's I won't have to crank the space heater up to max. I've decided to try my hand at a buckler and I guess I'll also work on a set of matching knees for my elbows

these will eventually be offered on my now in progress website, made of 18ga mild for either live-steel, LARP, boffer, or even SCA if I ever decide to work with 16ga in the future. Same with the Buckler, 18ga mild and I'm gonna try my hand at a roped edge. I've had good results with my last rolled edges so I figure roped is the next step in the progression.

I'll try to post pictures of the results.

Cheers

Chris

Happy hammering,

Hal

crusader elbows actually, I'll be making the knees this weekedn, they're already cut out, I just need to form them. I'll take some pics of the elbows now tha they're pointed and strapped.

Ya know if you switch over to 13ga you don't even need a heater.
