660 Years Ago Today….My New Kit

So I am going to start working on my new kit. I decided on 660 years ago today which makes it November 23, 1349. I am posting this so I can keep a link to the guy I would like to make my helmet.

Armouring

To make my own 14th century armour or to buy it. There are many pros and cons of each, instant gratification being the biggest pro of buying it. But I think over the long run I should make it piece by piece. This would teach me a marketable skill as well as giving me a nice set of period-ish armour at a very low cost.

There are a lot of things to consider like a clean garage and tools that I need to make this happen, but I think this would be the best bet.
