Group purchase of shields from Allan / Merc's Tailor?
Allan Senefelder:
Well my sheet metal guys car sh** the bed yesterday and given that my car isn't street legal either, it made my sheet delivery late so I swapped yesterdays plan for this weekends evenings and got all of them, fabriced, strapped, leathered and they are now drying. Should be ready to start rawhiding, Sunday- Monday.
Sir James A:
Great job, Allan. Thanks for the update. Let me know if the big image for my lions statant didn't make it to your email. The legs made it here yesterday; I love them! The buckles match the "WMA" arms I got from you, and they fit beautifully over the greaves you made too. Awesome, as always! :)
Allan Senefelder:
James, the email showed up no problem.
Allan Senefelder:
Well, rawhiding has to wait to start till tonight. I put the first shields worth in the pot yesterday, and it was still a bit stiff last night. The hide they send me was some of the most uniformly thickest they've sent me, nearly all of 6.oz thickness, so its looks like a little more soaking is necessary. The edges of the shields should be pretty damned close to bombproof with this stuff.
Sir Edward:
Excellent, I guess we just got really lucky. But don't worry, I don't plan to deflect grenades with mine. :)
