Techniques of Medieval Armor Reproduction by Brian Price


Originaly posted by Moonshadow.

This book has more than earned the title of the "Armourer's Bible". Each page is a visual buffet of worthwhile projects, accurate historical information, and relevant tips and tricks that pertain to our craft. If ever I need inspiration for a new project (or even a new twist on an old project), I always turn to ToMAR first.

Inside is a complete list of projects that will produce an authentic 14th century suit of armour. I've used the patterns and techniques myself and they are very helpful. It saved me a lot of time and wasted material.

The book is worth very penny. Once you have it in your hand, you'll see that it is an excellent investment for both the beginning armourer as well as the more seasoned professional. You'll not regret this purchase.
