Post by Friedrich von Bayern »

Greetings,

I posted a review of Stefhan's hilt and pommel earlier and said that after I did some moulding I would post pictures. Well here they are.

The hilt, all I did there was knock some weld splatter off with a file and paint it. The pommel, I sanded it down to bare metal and applied some J B Weld and ground it with a small sanding drum on a Drimel tool to make the concave shape, sanded it and painted the whole thing black. I then taped off the concave part and painted the whole thing brass color.

I could not have been any more pleased with Stefhans service, communication, craftsmanship and attitude. I look forward to doing more business with him in the future.

Friedrich,
Nice job! I like what you did with the JB weld. I have been working on pommels that are close to what you ended up with......Insane Irish has one of the proto types.....mabey he can post that when he puts it on a stick? They are a bit more work......and as I dont have has much time for the next few months we will see were I get with them.... the proto types do look good though.....Check out the photo.
Thanks for posting the review!
Stefhan

Does anyone have ideas on SCA legal strap? I have always used 550 cord in the past. This time I want to do something better.

Stefan beat me to it. I JUST put it on a stick last night and am actually going to post pics soon. Look for them.

Super sweet, Stefan is the man!
