I am an armourer and craftsman in general working in many materials. Send me a message if you have a project in mind to discuss details and prices.

I specialise in tailoring mail but I am also working a lot with plate armour in hardened and tempered C45.

Very light 15th century voiders for the armpits and inside of the elbow in welded mail with flat solid rings!
The request for these voiders were for them to be as lightweight as possible while still protective. I made them in 7mm rings from 1mm wire and 0,6×2mm solids, but added a reinforced section of 1,5mm wire and 1×2mm solids in front of the shoulder where thrusts can land really hard. Each armpit voider weighs just 760g, which is really light for the surface they cover, and each elbow voider weighs 170g.
Mail with solid rings seems to have stopped being made around 1400, but it is hard to know exactly when and why, but older mail was freaquently cut up to be re- used in different forms and can be found in cut down larger garments and also incorporated pieces with newer mail, and 14th/early 15th century rings can sometimes be found in 16th century garments. So using solid rings with your late 15th century armour is not wrong, it just represents a more economic choice common in the time period.

During the late winter to the end of june I have been working on a hauberk for myself in my handmade welded and solid rings for the 13th century joust in Nyborg! Here is a few pictures!
The ring size is 8mm with a wire thickness of 1,6 at tge torso, 1,5 kn the skirt and middle of the arms and 1,4mm on the lower arms and hand. The whole hauberk weighs 15kg.
There was an issue with the improvised collar I wore under the coif, so the fold on the neck is not supposed to be there. I will take more pictures when I have fixed that issue!

Aventail for an Italian armet in handmade 4,5mm welded rings!
There are several fantastic plate armourers doing amazing work, but those armours are often complemented with mail not matching the quality of the plate. With mail looking and acting the part it will enhance the plate and everything will work as it should.
This aventail is made from 4,5mm rings with 1,2mm wire. It creates a dense flowing type of mail in a perfect balance of mobility and protection!

If you also want to take your mail to the next level, send me a message to discuss your project!

15th century mail collar in handmade 6 an 7mm welded steel and brass rings!
The standing collar is made from 6mm rings in 1,8mm wire making it very dense and protective. A row of small handmade solid rings keeps the top of the collar together.
The mantle is made from 7mm rings with 1,4mm wire and is a smooth and flexible weave draping over the shoulders. The long overlap makes it more comfortable, provides double a layer of mail in the back of the neck, which is often more exposed and prevents any gaps from opening.

Currently set up for a ca 40cm neck but can fit a 39-43cm neck and modifications are possible if necessary.

1400€ excl vat
Sen me a message if you are interested in this or have ideas for a custom project!

Early 17th century cuirassier armour! Hammer finish with linseed blackening and buff leather.

The curassier armour now has a helmet! This close helmet does not belong to the original armour the rest is based on, but one housed at Skokloster castle in Sweden. I intend to at some point make the one thet belongs to the armour, which is more open faced with a bar visor. This more protective verdion would allow for at least some harnischfechten, even though the vision slits are quite large.

Mail collar for a 15th century soldier!
This mail collar is made for a representation of a 15th century soldier. It is made with slightly larger rings than a knight/man at arms would wear, but offer similar protection. The heavy standing collar is made from 7mm rings with 2mm wire and the mantle is made from 8mm rings with 1,5mm wire. The fittings are simple with just a small amount of decoration and there is no brass borders.
It is made from handmade all welded rings with a row of handmade solid rings at the top.
Despite its simplistic design it is very strong and the rings are smooth and comfortable on the inside, the standing collar is dense enough to offer some blunt force protection, but it is loose enough to have good mobility.

This collar is already sold, but if you are interested in a similar collar or any other custom project you can send me a message!

Some progress on the 17th century cuirassier armour! Now only the helmet and gauntlets remain!
I found making the arm articulation trickier than I thought it would be because it has no intermideate articulation lames, which makes the joint work smoothly without gaps. Now it had very little margins to work decently and some gaps was unavoidable, even on the original. Also the pauldrons has very few pieces, which made it pretty nice and sculptural to work with, but it is more difficult to get a wide range of mobility. I guess this design is good and quick for someone very used to making it and knows exactly how to make it work with so few part, but for me, the next ones will be based on examples with more pieces!

A small test piece of 14th century style germanic mail with flat solids and half flat/rounded welded rings with the typical watershed overlap.
I am very happy that I am now able to make convincing looking rings of this type!
