I think my phone worked at VARF, barely. What carrier are you on?

Wait, he's selling them?  Sir Edward...I did not know that.  Which ones are you looking to let go?  :)

What? No, no, no. I'm thinking of selling off some of my older stuff... You know, the old SLO type stuff.

It's an inside joke, that someone was going to take all of his Albions while he was over on the left coast. AFAIK, they're not *actually* for sale. ;)

Oh that's right, I forgot...Brian and I offered to house them temporarily during his move...but he never said yea or nay.  lol

Still, Sir Edward, I'm interested to see what you're letting go!

OK, so it's been more than a year since I ordered the extra links from KoA, and they're still back-ordered. I've been waiting on that for tailoring the mail haubergeon, constantly thinking they'll be here any week now. :)

I'm itching to taper those sleeves, and replace the triangular expansions at the base that I added with butt-links.

KoA had sent me the tool back in March 2011, but the links are still back-ordered. I got tired of waiting, and ordered a set of links and a tool from Icefalcon (the tools are different, but I'm not sure to what degree). Anyway, I ordered over $200 of stainless links. They arrived, but the tool is backordered. *sigh*

I've been avoiding unwrapping the GDFB tool from KoA, in case I choose to send it back, but I'm wondering if it'll work OK with the Icefalcon rivets? No idea.

And this is going to be more of an issue soon if I order myself a hauberk for my c.1300 kit as well. Lots more tailoring to do.

It seems like unless the rivet heads match exactly, they get distorted with a "mismatched" tool. I have the Historic Enterprises tool, and it doesn't work with the IceFalcon rings. I've got the IceFalcon tool also. I doubt I'll get around to tailoring my mail anytime within the next month or two, since I'm focusing on the plate for VARF, you're welcome to borrow my IceFalcon tool. Plus it's got semi-cushioned grips. :)

Cool, I might give that a shot.

Yeah, I have some plasti-dip for when I start using my tools. Hopefully that helps.

They use PD for a lot of applications...the clowns on my car forum are using it to black out their rims, trim and other stuff that doesn't require a light source behind it.  Pretty cool too since they can just peel it off if they tire of the look, and its way cheaper than getting that stuff anodized.
