you see pictures of her work, which produce filigrees in steel, and your
first though is, "So, what's her armor like?"

This is not the Dream. This is what I do on weekends to have
some fun.
The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.

It's certainly pretty, but is it actually *blacksmithing*? It looks
like all her work is done with a cutting torch.

to be 14gage or so if it was a close faced helm. I guess it is a
question of when a close faced helm with lots of holes becomes a grill.

I'm pretty sure no-one is wearing a visor 1 1/4 inches thick!
Misplaced decimal perhaps?

bars in the visor, because something so filigreed cannot count anymore
as structurally sound and so (in my understanding) should be compared to
the grill bars and not to the sheet metal. But it looks I confused the
3/16th inch (5 mm) thickness of the bars with the 1 1/4 inch (now 1
inch) maximal opening between bars. My bad, but the comment stands, 5 mm
thick steel would be hard to filigree...

With a water-jet cutter, it wouldn't be all that difficult ... .

I'd love to see this become a general topic: you know you've been in
the SCA too long when.....you see salad bowls the thrift shop, and
wonder if you should attach them to your armor to make it look
better....

Any time you see a commercial for those Bowflex exercise machines, you
start thinking about buying one to make siege weapons out of it.

singing Wagner?
