You are very welcome for the watch! Ive been having fun browsing your gallery and favorites, and I may yet have to borrow a few as favorites of my own. As for my armor, I'm in the fifth year of that project now However, I do not work on it nearly as much as I should; many other projects come and go without me giving a thought to my armor. Also, it has proved to be one giant experiment in how to make a semi rigid and very heavy suit of maile fit, contour, and still allow freedom of movement (especially the sleeves, which are on the 3rd redesign). However I think I should be finished at last by the end of this year, at which point I will start all over with better material (I'm thinking titanium) better methods and a predetermined design, which I lacked the first go around. Feel free to visit my shop at [link] if you would like to see a few of the newer items I've made and haven't yet posted to deviant art. Thanks again for your interest and I hope to see more of your art soon!

So I must say your Hexlace necklace is incredible. Hands down favorite! I definitely vote that you make more medieval-looking neckpieces. 5 years on the armor!!! Wow, i admire your dedication. I'm taking a metals class at college right now and it is very interesting, I'm attempting to make a torc-inspired neckpiece for my first project. I never realized how long it takes to construct something properly out of metal!

Hey thanks, I really appreciate the feedback. Honestly, I shudder to think of what it would cost for a suit made of these hexes, even with steel. The individual hexes take about an hour and a half to make, and there are only a handfull composing the necklace. If I had to guess I'd say a full suit, without sleeves, would probobly take nearly a year or more of steady work to complete, so I'd estimate a cost of somewhere between $15,000 to $20,000. I doubt anyone is going to commission one anytime soon. Once again thanks for the comment and I hope to hear from you again.
