Mad Matt lives north of Toronto. Hes a great armourere and a great guy with fair prices. He comes into Toronto once a week (thursdays) and can meet people to drop it off (WEWT NO SHIPPING!). if you're in the SCA some people in your local group might be able to build some things.

Matt is the guy locally for steel armour. In addition, while it's leather and not steel, there also Master Tarkatai near Hamilton. He is an excellent leather worker and has made lots of armour bits for people out at that end of Ontario. There's also Kel out at the military base near Trenton who does quick'n'dirty plastic kits (effective but ugly - sorry Kel).

Must be someone else. I neither live near Trenton nor work in plastic. I work in leather and steel for use with metal weapons. Kinda like this.

You're quite right. I do apologize. I am thinking of someone else with a very similar name. I've seen your leather work and it's spectacular. But there *IS* someone in Trenton who does the plastic... Now I'll have to find out who it is.

Again, sorry for the mix-up.

You're thinking of Kalimakh Mundanely Kal. He's in Borden now which is close to me. I'm changing his plastic ways.

As far as an armoring guild there isn't one. You're probably thinking of the ontario armourers gathering I used to host once a year. Haven't had one in about 3 years though. Most of the people who came drove 12-14 hours to get here from the US.

I do have open invitation to my shop. I'm about an hour and 15 minutes drive north of toronto if you go the speed limit.
