greeting from seattle

[eric m]

hey guys, i guess ill get started with the introduction:

im from the seattle area

I mostly do cold work like armor

here's a sample of my work



i dont have a pic of it after i polished the helmet

[Denise Minard]

Very nice. Where do you live? Are you in Seattle. I'm smack in the middle, on Capitol Hill. I live in a tiny apartment, made even tinier given that half of it is devoted to a pottery studio. Do you do a lot of armor work? Involved with SCA or any of those folks?

[eric m]

im in white center

mostly my armor is sized for 1 person, me and i havent gotten into sca yet. last year i finished an entire suit which weighs in at 40 lbs and is made of 16 ga mild steel. mostly i find it fun trying to reverse engineer the armor using modern tools

[Brad Roland]

That's pretty cool work Eric, my girlfriends nephew does that kind of work, though he lives in Sacramento, CA, but that helm is a good start on work. So is this entire suit made out of the same stuff? or did you make some different items? Also, can you post pictures of the suit, I'd really enjoy being able to see it all.

[eric m]

its basically complete besides the arms

[Daryl]

It's just a flesh wound

Sorry Eric I had to be the first with that one. Very nice work!

[Brad Roland]

nice work! But I must concur with Daryl ... it's just a flesh wound! ... haha ... but honestly that looks nice.

Will you complete the arms, gauntlets and ... greaves? or are they already complete?
