“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

If you want to have a closer look into this company, there are some videos out on the net.
Austrian TV-Station servus.tv produced a video about this blacksmith-shop as part of their series “fast vergessen” (meaning “nearly forgotten”).
You can still watch it online: http://www.servustv.com/de/Medien/Fast-vergessen9
Thank you for this undertaking and for keeping us informed, and now, also, to Martin_B for the additional detail!
That’s the first blacksmith I’ve ever seen who didn’t have a beard.
If you look closely at the bottom pictures of the man in the blue sweater, that man does have a short beard.
This armor project is certainly great fun.
Scrolling down the post, at first glance I thought they were putting Zed Heads stickers on the breastplate which gave me a grin. I still aim to get one for my wildfire hardhat.
Trust they are using high impact resistant steel alloy. Better than nothing!
I hope Dominic doesn’t put some weight: they have to send the armour to Stark industries for the tailoring job (drum roll… )
This is a great initiative and the lucky Guardsman will be resplendent in this engraved armour.
I am interested in how the engraving process is carried out and using what tools.
It looks like they attach a paper stencil and then follow the lines of that?
How is the engraving “finished” in terms of smoothing it out etc?
