Fun with shield cages

I've got an order for some shield cages and basket hilts and here is the first one in the group.  I was channeling my inner road warrior I think.   For those of you who are unfamiliar with a shield cage it is to protect your hand while fighting with sticks SCA style.

Took a break from black smithing to build some new armor

This is what you can do with several hundred plastic plates and some paracord.

I'll Be At The Spring Craft Fair in Cloquet,MN Tomorrow Saturday 04/11/15 It's at the Armory

You got to have hooks if you're a blacksmith.

These are my most popular size.
