Well, here are the last pics of finishing the Sets: All sets are riveted together. The fingerflates have not yet been pre-rusted as the other plates, so they still look plain grey. I then use two tiny drops of superglue to temporarily fix the leatherstraps to the gauntlets. This helps keeping...

Quick update: All pairs are assembled and sewed! :D Only some weathering left to do. I will send pm's about the final payments.

The last 3 Pairs. Assembly starts tomorrow. I'm sorry for the delays so far.

Hey everyone, sorry, I guess I already got myself some reputation of not being that regular in posting updates :-( It's not intentional and I'm sorry that you guys suffer from it. Here's an impression of how I sewed the fingerplates... there is nothing better than workin in the right atmosphere...

hi, yes, I'm sorry. There is so much going on right now (good things ;-) ) On behalf of the gauntlets: I have prepared all parts to be assembled (all plates, leather strips and already sewed all fingerplates onto strips as well) I'm hardly at home at my PC, and I usually edit the pictures...

Hey everybody! Just a quick note: I've been busy on the Gaunts for the last weeks (on and off) and have all yet manufactured parts trimmed, drilled, sanded, bubbles filled, sanded again, and basecoat-rust painted. They are basically ready to assemble. :-) I'll have to be in my workshop the next...

hey, no, I'm still there/here. Starting my business is a lot of work and running around getting information, so I didn't get to in my shop a lot. I finished the new housing for my beltsander and also filmed it, but didn't get to cutting the video yet. Here's a little peak: I know, this is not...

Hi Guys! I have been absent from my workshop for a while (not completely voluntarily..) Last weekend was actually the first after a month without getting there. So I continued to work on the gauntlets :-) Did cut all parts for 3 pairs on the bandsaw and also drilled many, many holes in a...

Hi there! ..yes, I'm still here. There were a lot of things keeping me from having considerable amounts of free time, like work, family (I became an uncle :-) ), taxes (yay!), sickness, .. But I didn't completely neglect this project: When I tried to work in my -still very small- shop...

Hi there! I did more work 2 weeks ago, but had to work overtime quite a bit, so I didn't get to my PC to post update pictures (I ususally reframe/rescale the pics for better web-use). The iron powder ran out one day after my last post (I finished one set of parts extra to the 2 pairs for which...

Hi, I didn't get much done after sending the pair out to TomVDJ, because of Comic Con Germany, my girlfriends birthday and other stuff, but this week I got back to laminating the rest of parts. It started quite frustrating on Wednesday, when nothing seemed to work. The resin cured to fast, so I...

Indeed it is! :-) Here are some more progress pictures: Sewing leather straps to gauntlets: I fix them in place with two DROPS (!!) of superglue. The way the alignment is more easy to check and you can just cut the straps to the correct length before sewing them at the tip and on each side of...

The one pair is assembled and video recorded. Now I need to sew all the leather straps with fingerplates to the leather gloves. here's a snapshot from the video, because I forgot to take pictures also :rolleyes

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I'm in the middle of assembling, which takes a bit longer because I'm recording all steps on video to make a nice video for the 2 "kit-guys" and everybody else who likes to see how gauntlets like these are assembled. Of cause - because..why not... - I...

So I wanted to get TomVDJ's pair ready before FedCon to do the sewing, but although I even went one day later than planned, wasn't able to. When I noticed that I was starting to hurry, I stopped. This would be exactly what you wouldn't want. Now that the Con is over I did the sewing of the...
