I make medieval armor.
Jace:
Put in the arming points on my gambeson. Might loosen up the spaulders ever so slightly but I'll have to get to pennsic and see how it feels/ask someone a bit more experienced.
Jace:
Guys my helmet is so close to being done and oh my goodness it is sexy as hell. I didn't do most of the work on it but that is because it is an expensive piece and I want it to look nice.
Getting in the shop sunday to make the visor for it and possibly make safety horse videos (don't ask) and depending on time might start my greaves.
Jotunheim:
Am I entirely wrong in saying that it looks like you have trouble raising your arms in that set-up?
Jace:
Well yes and no. I didn't make my gambeson with grand assiete sleeves so it pulls up a little when I raise my arms, but the armor doesnt affect my movement in the shoulder region. On the elbow joint, I can only bend my arm to about a 40° angle because of both the arms in the gambeson being a little tight when bending my arms tight and also because I grew tired of my vambraces sliding down my arm after the ties came loose between the elbow and vambrace I riveted the elbow cop to the vambrace which reduces movement some but not enough for it to affect my fighting.
GarandMarine:
Jace loves getting hammered on the weekend
