Allan Senefelder:
I hadn't wanted to this but things have flattened out drastically over the last 3 weeks so I've set up a site for the various things I've been offering up for sale to keep things afloat and get the last few owed customers cleared out ( James included ). Selling stuff on a few forums just isn't getting it done. If its of any interest its at http://merctailor.webs.com/ . Items available are listed at a bit more than I had been selling them ( but still below the 5 year old prices I had when I closed )but with the little things like hand made buckles and stuff, making $60 on a pair of spaulders that took 9-10 hours isn't getting me where I need to be on owed stuff. Ed if this is in the wrong place feel free to move it.

Sir James A:
Allan, no problem, I've been saying for a long time that if you have spots to fill, take orders to do it. As you know, my finances have been pinched this year, so I've had to scale back my armor purchases too, unless I sell some other stuff (not armor!).

I posted a link on FB, maybe something will come from it. Also, I think I have almost all the pics of the armor off your old site, if you need them. Feel free to use any pictures of me in your armor too, or to use ones I took of it. And if there's anything you've made I have that you want more pics of, let me know, I'll take them for you.

If there's anybody that wants information on Allan's work, let me know. About 3/4 of my harness that I usually wear is all by him (the ~1525 one, my avatar on here). I have some other pieces he's made, too. I wear the armor, and I've fought in it too, so I can give some hands-on review of it; short version is [/b]I'm not afraid of the armor failing when I'm fighting in it, and it's worth much more than I paid for it[/b].

Allan Senefelder:
James, thanks much. To be clear the stuff in the " Avaliable Pieces " gallery are what's for sale. Items that are already done and ready to go ( unless some sizing is needed ). I will entertain building stuff from the other galleries if it save me the trouble of coming up with something to build to sell but that's as close as i'll get to taking orders and no money exchanges hands until the item is done.

I just realized as I watched things flatten out and the steel i'd been stocking up in August to spend at least a week and a half in September on owed stuff slip away as no money came in that I needed a bigger audience than myarmoury.com and The Armour Archive if I was at least going to get the last 5 owed work folks taken care of which is my principle focus. I didn't really want to go this route, i'd hoped that the forums could keep me going to the last owed stuff was done, but it seems to have run its course and I need a second option.

I just started adding a client gallery James and could do with a pic of you for it.

Sir Edward:
Yes, feel free to post pictures of me in the armor too. Whatever helps. I've pretty much blown my equipment budget this year (taking into account some planning purchases at WMAW next week), unfortunately.

Allan Senefelder:
Ed, can you shoot me pics you've got of you in the various gear, the kit I reworked included if you have them? We ( the Mrs. and I ) had been misering pennies for over a year to get a laptop to replace the ten year old Dell desk top ( it was top of the line at the time ) that was getting slower than molasses  amougst other things. The Mrs. air compressor for her Passche sprayer for he business diedtwo weeks ago and ate that money being replaced. My stepmother (
wife of my dad who died in December ) picked up the tab for my wife for her birthday over Laborday and long story short, some pics went missing in the transfer if data so i'm missing a few " Client " pics for the gallery that I used to have stored.
