WTB gadlings

Post by Klaus the Red »

I am doing final assembly on a pair of hourglass gauntlets and would like to accessorize them with gadlings. The finger leathers were formerly riveted to the insides of the knuckles on the metacarpal, but I moved them to a rocker plate so I need to fill up the leftover rivet holes with something, and that something might as well be decorative. If anyone can point me to an online source that has pieces in stock that would fit the bill, awesome. Barring that, this is a commission opportunity. I want something simple such as a four-sided pyramid, either cast in bronze or hot forged in steel- even ground down from big domed rivets would do. The head should be no wider than 3/8" across and 1/4" high, and the shank should be no thicker than 1/8".

Bonus points if you can get it done for me before Christmas!

I seem to have found my solution: hobnails!

I actually secured some from a local friend who had more than he planned to use, but thanks!

Les, I have some of those if you want to play with a couple dozen. They make great decorative rivets. Unfortunately they were something like $25 @lb when I got them 'cuz the $CAD wasn't flying high back then.
