What Forkbeard has been up to.

[Forkbeard]

Those 2 aren't done yet, but you get the idea.






Giggity.

"Hey, Fork, what ya doin' over there?"

"Being awesome at stuff."

"Oh, okay."

[Kansas]

All I can thing when I see the eagle mask is "I'm an eagle big pimpin' in America."

All your stuff is pretty awesome.

[varadin]

fork your work is awesome, but you really need to take a corner of your place and make a nicely lit place with a good camera. Make those pictures look as awesome as the leather and youll see even more people wetting themselves.

[Forkbeard]

I have a little booth and try to take a few good pics of all of them.

Just curious, do you sell your work outside of our community, like on Ebay or etsy or (I dunno any other site that sells hand made stuff)?

I think the orc helm just edges out the torso armor w/ the wolf on it.......only just barely though.

Absolutely pimp gear.

[Juggernaut]

Forkbeard has been up to some other things too. My helm and Castle Greaves are **** badass and fit great. THANKS FOR QUALITY GEAR!!!

[Forkbeard]

Thanks bro, you look bad *.

See the whole story.

Dude, I swear I will knock the **** out of some people while wearing this. Also I swear to mock every archer that hits me in the helm.

[Forkbeard]

[Derian]

That bear helm is pretty **** rad.

[Tiberius Claudius]

Saw Cheesehearticus' black murmillo helm w/ the giant horsetail crest at Fool's Raid today.

**** bad * like no other.

[Forkbeard]

Thanks man, there are 3 of those out there, now, all different but still murmillos.
One of the guys is talking about some other model of gladiator helm for one of his dudes. Very exciting. Thats what I WANT to make. Historically accurate(at least PLAUSIBLE) helms. Done in leather, of course.

And the Valkyrie helmet for my ladyfriend is beast as well.

[Forkbeard]

And of course, I've been makin stuff for myself.

[Forkbeard]

Dig it, *.
I need green paint.

[Derian]

I dig the bronze-y finish on that. What did you use?

[Forkbeard]

ecoflo gold. and green and brown streakys.

Word.

How does the gladiator arm sleeve fare with mobility?

[Forkbeard]

Awesome. It's strapped with 2 vertical straps riveted to each lame and has 2 upper arm straps holding it down, an elbow pad swen into it and all but the last forearm lame is a full circle.
Works great. The only motion I can't make is licking my elbow. And it tastes aweful, anyway.

I am intrigued by the wolf armor, it looks quite similar to something I want made.

[Forkbeard]

I'll make you one.
FB

[Steele]

That's very generous of you, though my armor is already being made by a friend of mine. I may, however, need a helmet by the time Chaos Wars comes around. If you're willing, I can let you know when I need it.

[Tiberius Claudius]

By "make one" I'm pretty sure he means "sell one".

[Forkbeard]

If you want a helm from me by Chaos War, you need to pay now. I only have 3 or 4 time slots for making things to be done by Chaos. If you don't pay before June 15th, you're probly not going to get it in time.
Thanks

Dang FB, you're awesome. I love the bear

[Severian]

I saw you wearing that gladiator armor at Rag, looks amazing. I have been considering making a pair for myself, don't think I can match your craftsmanship though.

[Tiberius Claudius]

How much would you charge for a leather mempo murder mask without gorget? I'd want good sized air holes for mouth and nose, and I'd like to be able to put on one of those bushy mustaches.

Something with this kind of detail would be awesome, but is it even possible in leather?

A more simplistic look with less shaping wouldn't be a bad thing.
