Arms based on Churburg original

[thorkil]

Hello.
Les bras (? I don't know if this word is correct...) basés sur des bras de Churburg (Milan, 1385, Scalini CH S10)

Chaque morceau est main et forgée chaude, spring steel (?I don't know the word in French...).

Décoration Fluer-De-lys en laiton dans le modèle de l'armure de Charles VI. Quelques modifications ont été apportées, en raison du souhait de client (comme le bras supérieur prolongé et la décoration additionnelle). La forme des bras ont été faites pour adapter des mesures de client, ainsi elles sont un peu différent que l'original.

Voici les photos des bras prêts et quelques photos prises pendant forgement (?). Le premier est photo du original (de : M. Scalini - Armoury of Castle Churburg 1).

Plus de photos sur notre site: http://www.thorkil.ovh.org/churburg_arms.htm

Tous les commentaires sont bien recherchés.
Gracjana et Thorkil (Greg).

P.S. Sorry for my horrible French... Oh, and if those photos are too big, please let me know. Gracjana

Cabaret a dit : price ????? ...... 12 000 euros ....... ouaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

Cabaret a dit : m'en faudrait une paire pour les meules ....

He says needs that for battle.

[thorkil]

Thank you all for compliments.

Cabaret a dit : price ????? ...... 12 000 euros ....... ouaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

Ils ne sont pas aussi chers, mais si vous voulez payer eux un tel prix, puits…. Aucun problème.
Hmm.. They are not so expensive, but if you want to pay for them such a price, well.... No problem.

m'en faudrait une paire pour les meules ....

Hmm.. I don't understand this phrase. In literal translation it means that you would like to have a pair of arms like this for grinding some grain??? Could you explain me what this phrase means?

Wonderfull work , and very close to the original model.
Great Job.

Thanks Réchignac, but we would want them to be closer to original. The customer has muscular arms, but quite short and he really wanted extended upper arm.
Now Greg (Thorkil) is making Churburg legs and they also will be a bit different than original, because original legs were made for very slim guy.

Regards,
Gracjana.

Thanks, Kunz. My French isn't good and I don't know informal speech at all. But I am learning always when I am asking.

Cabaret a dit : fouatch de fouatch, on peut peut plus faire de l'humour ......

Your joke - my joke.

Mais sérieusement, ce prix que tu as écrit est grande exagération. Pour 12000 euros tu pourras avoir 3 paires de bras de nous. Mais si tu penses ils valent ceci, en raison de la quantité de travail, c'est gentil de tois. Merci.

Yes it's a wonderful work!I appreciate a lot the shape of the vambrace and couter, but I have a particular attention to the unsanded arms..I like too much to see the shape rough from the forge, It shows very clearly the work on it...:-)

[medievalmarc]

:-) To sand is "poncer" in french, I wasn't talking about ths use of sand properly..
I completly agree with you, I finish by hand always too... ;-)

[thorkil]

Cabaret, Marcos - thank you very much for appreciation.

Mais Marcos - Greg (Thorkil) n'emploie pas le sable pour le polissage ! Il fait le polissage à la main. Jamais tout sable ! Après avoir vu des certains casques et armures finir avec le sable, nous pensons qu'employant le sable pour polir fait la surface des regards d'armure un peu comme des armures d'un plastique. Le polissage de main le fait semble authentique, à notre avis.

But Marcos - Greg doesn't use sand for polishing! He makes polishing by hand. Never sand! Having seen some helmets and armours finish with sand, we think using sand for polishing makes surface of armour looks a bit like a plastique. Hand polishing makes it looks authentic.

Medievalmarc a dit : :-) To sand is "poncer" in french, I wasn't talking about ths use of sand properly..

Aaah... I see! In English it is safer to use - "polishing".

I completly agree with you, I finish by hand always too... ;-)

Great! Another thing you and Greg have in common!

Cheers,
Gracjana.
