Zweihammer Updates Feburary 2012

Greetings Zweihammer Website Visitors Please Read!!

We want to thank all our customers over the years, since our beginning in 2004. We enjoy helping people get into good kit. However, the cost to produce and stock the kits with our current vendor has become unreasonable. We will continue to look into alternatives.

Until Zweihammer Armoury sources a lower cost option to produce our kits, We will not be re stocking once sold out.

Please do not send payment without a confirmation email from us. Apparently the Virtuemart section of the website will still accept orders on out-of-stock items with a zero quantity.

We appreciate all your support, thank you!

Welcome to Zweihammer!

Zweihammer Armoury specializes in providing do-it-yourself armor kits for SCA and Western Martial Arts practitioners.

Our master armourer, Erick Davidson, designs these kits to be easy to assemble with the most basic tools (a hammer, a mallet, an anvil, a vise...), while maintaining a great appearance and providing good protection.

 

Hot Raising an Umbo

applying olive oil finish I took the opportunity a couple of weekends ago to do a raised umbo to adorn the center of a Viking round, one of three shields I am making to offer the victor in our upcoming twentieth Annual White Shield tourney. In addition to the round, we are providing a Norman kite as well as a Maximilian buckler. The victor will get first choice and the other two will be auctioned off. Anywho, I want these prizes to be worthy of the victor who more often than not goes on to win the next West Crowne a couple weeks later. The shields are meant to be as correct as I can make them, so I took the time to raise the umbo first, I love to raise and each time I take the time it makes me want to do more. Time permitting, I wish to raise my first helm this summer.

I neglected to record the first steps, as it didn’t occur to me as I was having too much fun. I grabbed my camera after I had already finished two courses.
