I have a design for a single right handed guantlet I want to have made...can anyone recomend someone?
(Please recomend someone OTHER than Tony Swatton of Sword & Stone if you can, I just don't have that kind of money)
Thanks in advance for any replies here!

DO you want it in aluminum or steel? Is leather an option?

I know a place that does some really fantastic stuff.

Thanks for the querry Hiro...No, leather is really NOT a way I would go for this. This Gauntlet is going to be a show piece in a Mystical Museum, it must be as authentic as possible.
I have made contact with a fellow who's work is amazing and who has a LOT of enthusiasm for this project...he's even asked about making a trip to my home (he's in Washington State, I'm in Oregon) to visit and discuss the details of the Gauntlet!
More details as I get them.
Thanks all!

Just a quick note here to let those interested know that Ugo has agree'd to take on the Glove Project for me AND has even gone so far as to agree to teach me some metal work!
I'm really jazzed by the prospect of sculpting metal.
A big "Thank-You" to Great_Bizarro for steering me in the right direction!!
More news as it comes in!

You got Ugo in on your project? You're in very good hands then. I've seen some of his armor, and he never fails to impress.
