Then again...

If I was going to go for a custom job I would be pestering this absolutely magnificent armorer!  ;)

Yes, he did, but he's a member of this forum (and AA) and he's been churning out stuff on the sly...if you get a chance to get any of his wares, TAKE IT.  I wish he was still in business...I have a gorget, spaulders and greaves setup from him; would've liked to have gotten cuisses and knees, his upper rebrace and elbow cops with a BP to round it all out.

I have been building and selling to stuff to cover the bills and costs of getting outstanding commisions done http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/search.php?mode=results  ( most of the entries on the first page ) for several months once I gave up looking for a new job ( the crap condition of my car makes it next to impossible to seek a new job currently anyway ). I do not take commisions of any sort selling/taking money only for finished goods as my focus is on getting outstanding commisions finished not getting back into the business. I do not and will not build for sale anything which is still owed, that would be definitively not right. It takes a fair amount of sold material to keep this going and I have been trying to remember to cross post stuff I put up here, so if you keep an eye open theres a fair chance to pick up something. As I have to build stuff every week it is possible to arrange to have something that is not owed build ( payment only after completion ) so I don't have to figure out what to build to sell, but again this is limited to what is not owed outstanding commissions, and materials avaliable.

Don't get my hopes up Allan...please don't!!!  lol

Although I doubt anyone would be happier to see you back in the biz, I know what you're doing and I think it honorable.

If I ever win the lottery or inherit a huge sum of money, I'll be giving you a call Allan. I have a wish list long enough to keep you gainfully employed making armor for a very long time. I would still definitely love to get my hands on an Almain Collar (hint, hint). Can't find anyone else making them  :-[

Ah, well, so it goes. It doesn't hurt to drop a hint or ask, I suppose. Maybe I just need to buy more (or a) lottery tickets  ;)
