Robert Valentine of Valentine Armories, guest on Rick's Restorations

Short bit he had in the show:



He is also back taking commissions again. I have a VHS cassette that he produced back in the 90s (which doesn't feel 15 years ago!) of an early "how to make armor", which was mostly just video of him working.

What?!  I didn’t see any loggers, fisherman, truck drivers, mountain men, fancy cars or “Vikings” in that segment…   ;)
