So now I wonder what article I should tackle next: I have photos for planishing / raising stake construction, as well as a number of others in various stages of (in)completion.
Here’s the list of articles that are on my “to do” list. Given that these take me more than 2 full working days to assemble and write up (including a fair amount of wordpress hacking to modify layouts) this is a lot more work than I was originally anticipating when I made up the list – hopefully it will get easier as I get used to this platform!
The article list:
- Making a sinking hammer (Complete / old HTML format)
- Making hinges (Complete / old HTML format)
- Decorating hinges (Complete / old HTML format)
- Spring pin construction (Complete)
- Raising stake construction (Feb 8, 2013)
- Buckle construction / Decoration (Photos taken)
- Modifying a vice for hinge construction and rivet manufacture (some photos taken)
- Sliding Rivets (Photos taken)
- Setting Rivets: articulating and non-articulating
- Making Rivet Sets (and Rivets)
- Making Jewelers Rivets
- Basic Sinking (Helm Half)
- Basic Planishing (Helm Half)
- Basic Raising (Armet or a polyn)
- Weld clean-up
- Basic surface Clean-up
- Basic Polishing
- Metal surfacing techniques (Chasing, stamping, roping)
- Basic Edge Rolling (Gauntlet)
- Advanced Edge Rolling (Wire Re enforcement)
- Basic Articulation Theory (Floating articulations, compression articulations, expansion articulations,
- Basic Articulation (Compression Articulation)
- Visor Articulation (Helmet)
- Articulating a half-gauntlet (demi-Gauntlet)
- Basic Piercework (Lines and Curves – Edging your list shield)
- Advanced Piercework (Turns tighter than 90 degrees, parallel lines – Celtic Knotwork)
- 3-Dimensional Piercework (Making a Tir Righ Cloak pin)
- Brass Edging
I’m sure I can come up with a couple of dozen more articles, particularly if I include projects (gauntlets, knees, helm(s) pauldrons…) but I thought that it was worth asking what folks want to see next – drop a comment and I may re-prioritize based on feedback.
