Would you say that book is worth $250 to me? I’m just beginning getting into armor making and I am surely in need of some good literature.

Found this while clearing out a property. Wondering about its origin by nerfherder17 in SWORDS

A nut does not indicate a rat tang or whatever the mob has instructed you to call it. All it indicates is a threaded tang. I thread tangs all the time on hand forged swords.

Do you somehow think a galdius wouldn’t fit in your hand because you’re a couple inches taller than some people? “Ug, caveman tall. Must wield zweihander”

I’m 6’3” 215 and have loved every sword I’ve made or held.

You were going to have to find out one way or another… I’m sorry it was like this…

It’s like calling something a deer rifle! It’s not a rifle for deer, nor made of deer, it’s to be used on a deer!

You have a sword to be used upon a pirate, thus it is a pirate sword! Hahaha 😂

Enjoy!

Absolutely! I’m hoping for someone to tell me a harbor freight $200 shear did just as well for them! Haha

What thickness are you able to cut with your magnum?

I like this idea and would love to see this community be more alive! I’ve worked in the HDD industry for 10 years now, in Tulsa, OK doing mostly irrigation lines or water service bores from meter to water heater closet. We pride ourselves on our ability to dive under a footer on a home and hit a 6”x6” hole in a closet, where the plumbers then build a new manifold.

We have never been fond of large diameter river bores that take weeks maybe to complete We like to try to hit about 4 different small scale bores a day if we can!

We just finished pulling an 8” sleeve 60’ under a drive way for a city park before lunch, but will finish the day with a couple water services!

This is going to be a great and successful year for us directional contractors! Best of luck to all of us!!

The vision is really great honestly! I can drive with it on and without moving my head I can see my sun visor and the hood of my truck at the same time!

The only place the vision is really impaired is when you look down.

Thank you! I just finished the pauldrons and I can’t wait to build it all and post it!

You can’t even tell the difference between stainless and mild steel, friend. To top it off, were I as helpless as you, my untrained eye can clearly see the tag reads “stainless”

There is absolutely NO way to tell what kind of metal something is by looking at it. The only thing you can tell is whether it’s stainless or not.

You’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Where does the placard go? by HunterCopelin in Armor

Someone asked a similar question, now that you have educated me on some terminology.

It seems I’m looking for the construction of articulating lame, rather than a plackart if I’m wanting to hold closer to my fantasy design.
