Man. I'm super jealous of your armour collection. That's gonna be on my list of next collection to start. I been thinking I might even try my hand at armour making one day to be honest. It seems more along the line of what I enjoy doing as opposed to sword making.

Thanks, Bro. My sh*tty pictures really don't do it all justice. It looks a LOT better in real life! I'm gonna have to get some lessons on a digital camera and how to download pics. Lugging my laptop around to take b.s. pics is getting old.  |

When I'm suited up in my dark armor, it's AC/DC---'Back in Black'.  -----  |

Ha! Thanks! My wife has a digital camera....somewhere. It's just a matter of finding it!  Not real sure how to get pics off the camera and onto my computer though. I've got a geek niece that can walk me through it.

I would like to see the armor stands you’ve constructed someday, if it’s not too much trouble. 👍

I apologize to you and everyone else now for the sore ribs you will all get from laughing so hard. They are literally made of sticks, cardboard tubes, clothes hangers and duct tape.  But they do the job! I may keep 'dumpster diving' at work until I can collect some better looking stuff and build a nice one or two. I think I can make some pretty nice helmet stands though. I can pick up a ton of interesting band-saw scraps in all shapes and sizes. |

$100 worth of good oak ain't a whole lotta wood. |

$100 worth of good oak ain't a whole lotta wood. With the prices people spend on material to DIY, I feel like I would rather just buy premade stuff if I'm gonna spend that much 😂 |

You can spend tons of money, and get mediocre results...or you can scrounge for scraps and get a masterpiece. That's what I look at. At least, if your 'DIY' turns out to be a 'POS', you know who to blame. |
