[Bryn-gwlad] Armorers, metalworkers

[caladin]

I've got a perfectly good slitting shear, that I never ever use any more,
Incase you don't know what a slitting shear is, it's alot like a beverly 
shear,
except it's best at cutting stright lines and gentle curves, not to hot 
on the really tight intricate
curves. It also does a bang up job of cutting plastic or leather (really)

Alas, It just sits there. Gathering dust and making sad plaintive eyes 
at me, from lack of use

It's also got this really nifty built in round stock cutter for making 
bar visors and baskethilts.

all that kind of stuff

I've got a b1 beverly shear, and I do any bar work on the forge, so I 
never use it any more..
I paid $125 for it at pennsic many years ago.

If you want it, send me an offfer, start with "I'll come to your house 
and pick it up" and
work up from there, if you really want it (mead, cookies... whatver :) )

Be very clear you CAN do armor with this, but it is NOT a throatless 
shear like a beverly,
sharp turns are done by nipping it off a bite at a time and going back 
with a grinder to smooth the curve.
interior curves are somewhat of a pain.

 I will give it to the person who I think will use it most, not the best 
offer, I dont' want it to just go into your
garage and gather dust, it can do that here just fine. But if you'll use 
it, then come get it.

The only condition I put upon it is to pass it on to someone worthy in 
the sca when you are done with it.
eventualy if you keep doign metal work you will save up and get a 
throatless shear, especially a beverly.

Thanks,

Caladin

P.S> There is a slight chance my brother will want it, if so he gets dibs.
