Buckler Question From Merctailor -- myArmoury.com

Allan Senefelder · Industry Professional

I screwed the pooche and found a buckler commisions in the outstanding stack and given that I used up all the handles and blanks thinking I was done with them will have to make up another handle and body up. The barstock for the handles I still have some of as I bought out a local hardware store that closed a few years ago of thier 1/2 inch stock. I've been trying to buy new materials as little as possible for the stuff i've been selling off made from left over parts as I want to keep the cash going to outstanding commisions ( three out this week including Tom R.'s 13/14th century rebracers with rondels ). A metal sculptor buddy of mine who lets me use his welder for helmets dropped off a small piece of 16 gauge scrap to me from scrounging at the yard yesterday ( something that i'd forgotten about and will be indulging in. As the closer it gets to Christmas/New Years the less chance I see of landing a job till after the holidays ) which he can't use ( he's an Albert Paley prodigy so works in 3/16 and 1/4 inch plate stock for enourmous sculptures ). My question is, is there any interest in a couple of 11 inch steel bucklers, actually to be honest I can only get the one I need and two more, max out of the piece of scrap. If there is then i'll go to the trouble to make the two extra handles this weekend and post them for sale when done, if not I don't want to take time away for outstanding work.

They would be identicle to the last ones sold off in this thread http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=24764

If I can pay after my Holiday CC beating I'd take one. Would the price be the same as in the linked thread?

Hi Mike, i'm sorry but the cash from selling stuff off is paying peoples shipping, buying supplies to keep working on oustanding commisions and paying bills, this is kind off a first come first serve to keep that all running. If I make 'em they'll go up next week and who ever picks 'em up gets 'em. If I haven't landed a job after the holidays and I can turn up some really cheap 16 gauge scrap at the yard I may do some more but with a little luck i'll have landed another job by then.
