Hi! I am Lord Otto Garlicsbane
(A.K.A. Scott Vastbinder). If I directed
you here for my armor books, just look to
the left. At the current time, I only
have one available, in Word Perfect
format. Due to technical difficulties
converting them to MS Word, the others
are not available quite yet. But they
will be soon! This rather
simple webpage is dedicated to helping
folks interested in making armor. It will
be of more use to beginners than to
experienced armorors. I, personally, am a
self-taught armorer and armor merchant
(since about 1984) and that is the source
of the knowledge and patterns in the
above armor books. Some of the patterns
are so old, I wouldn't know who to credit
for them, most of the patterns I made
myself. Please note this is NOT an armor
selling page; just informational in
nature. The armor books are free; please
take one. For futher help in armoring,
just email me or follow my link to the Armor Archive (an excellent
site).
For any
interested in buying armor, I work in the
Southern Michigan area and sell only at
events; usually the St. Valentine's Day
Massacre in Andelcrag (February) and
sometimes a summer event or two.
The
free armor books on this page are
step-by-step illustrated instructional
guides (complete with patterns) on how to
make many types of armor. Book 1 is about
40 pages long, Book 2 is about 30 pages
long. There are also sections on some
basic armoring functions such as dishing,
planishing, peining rivets, etc. I hope
you find them useful.
