Occasionally I get requests for patterns...
So, I've decided to make hard-copies available.
Card-Stock Patterns are $10 (in an 8.5x11 manila envelope)
You can cut them out and trace them onto the metal very easily.
I also center punch the rivet holes right through the pattern.
The gauntlet patterns adapt to either men's medium or large gloves, but can
be easily resized on a reducing/enlarging copy machine.
Size depends mostly on the gloves and how you space the plates when you attach them.

Email me below if you are interested in patterns, or you can just send
the $10 via PayPal to my email address, thor276@cableone.net
Make sure to include the pattern number when you fill in your address.
Patterns usually go out the very next day.

FLUTED GERMAN GOTHIC ARMS. I'm working on a set of arms to show off
what the Fluting Press is capable of, and this is my first project with it.
The elbows haven't been polished yet, and the strapping still needs to be done.

STYLE #5. This pair of Lord-of-the-Rings Ring Wraith gauntlets
have been modified for sparring SCA-style, and are
also based on the gauntlets from the first movie.

STYLE #4. I constructed a pair of Lord-of-the-Rings Ring Wraith
gauntlets from photographs from the movie guides...
These ones are very close to the ones worn in the movie,
but are not designed for actual fighting. I think they
look much meaner, though.

STYLE #3. This pair are mainly Italian styled, but a german cuff can change the
look entirely. Both Italian and German Gothic cuffs are included in the patterns.

STYLE #2. This pair were made for William the Wild in my local Barony.

STYLE #1. This is my first pair of gauntlets. Not my best work, but
definitely better than most of my first attempts.

I've designed and built an Armor Fluting Press so that I can attempt
some of the more exotic armor styles you see in books on armor.

Pictures of my shop and tooling are on this page... My Shop & Tooling
including examples of simple custom bending jigs for making Gauntlets.

I'll add more to this page as I get pictures taken.
