well, I havent made any armour yet (apart from the bucklers) but I know the techniques , so in theory there is nothing to stop me from doing it (apart from time of course). I have started work on a viking helmet but it is not finished yet. I will probably post about it at some point,
I have been making knifes for many years but always as a hobby, I started in earnest about 3 years ago when we moved to our current house, where I have the space for a smithy, It is still just a hobby, but I have made a few commercial smithing projects too.
