So, Tadgh needed a helm for Anglo-Saxon Camp reenactments.
Now armor does two very important things:
|
|
Helmet of St. Wencelslaus (died 935); (Prague Cathedral), p. 33 English Weapons & Warfare 449-1660 A.V.B. Norman and Don Pottinger |
p.17, Saxon helmet excavated from a grave at Benty Grange, Derbyshire (Sheffield Museum) |

Photo A - (l-r) "Field expedient" stake mounted vertically; cannon ball stake; deep dishing stump with foot piece; shallow dishing stump with foot piece dogged to anvil. |
Photo B - (f-b) Deep dishing stump and foot board; shallow dishing stump; metal dishing form with hardy fitting. |
Photo C - (f-b) “Portable” post vise; stake, cannon ball etc. |
Photo D - Another view of the "portable" post vise. Hammering down the 1 ½" rebar, single-handed with a twelve pound sledge, was lots of single-handed fun! |
Photo E - Another view, showing the vise and the "L" extension of the "field expedient" stake. |
