Finally back! The last month or so has been pretty hectic, on vacation, wedding showers, work, but I'm finally back on the crafting wagon! This February I applied for a $1,400 grant offered by our local arts council. My grant project proposal is to design and craft full combat grade bronze armor - made of a full length Hauberk and hood weighing 70lbs total. Well, much to my surprise, I was awarded the grant! So far with the grant money I've acquired a pretty neat piece of equipment called The Ringinator which allows me to saw cut all of my own Bright aluminum, bronze, copper, and brass. I can cut harder metal as well, but the time involved isn't as cost effective. Check out these pictures and videos (hosted on my facebook page) of the machine in action!
