I know I can make hinges. I have done it and will do it again.
It is not terribly difficult, but at this early stage of my hinge making learning curve, it takes a while per hinge. Longer than I'd like, anyway.
Where can I buy hinges for armour, such as lower canons for arms etc? Looking for two, three and four pointers.

As much as I have looked, I can't find hinges on the website. Do you have a link to a page with the hinges?

Ultimately I think I would need 12 '3 pointers' and 12 '2 pointers', of a size suitable for vambraces. Depending on the cost though, I may just make them instead.
Material could be brass or mild steel, 18g.

Re: X-post - WTB hinges
I could be cionvinced to do some, but it would probably fall into the price mark of where you'd do it yourself. Are you looking for decorative, exposed hinges, or are you going to hide the bulk of the hinge?
