Hand-Schaub aluminum helmet a go - commitment list

They look great Schaub, thanks for the step by step updates on the entire process. It's like watching the elves building our Christmas gifts on some weird North Pole web cam, lol. Really makes you appreciate the amount of work going into these things.
 
Just thought I would update the group on the helmets.

Today marked the last of the helmets being gated in the wax (and finally my own helmet is gated) Not too much has happened to the shelled pieces. The four helmets from last week are nearly ready to be drilled. Now it is the foundry which is being preasured to start producing metal. I should have metal in the next few weeks. My goal is to have several out the door by the end of then month to those who are ready.

Thanks - let me know if there are any further questions.
 
Excuse me Mr Schaub but I was just wondering if it'd be ok for me to lift a few of these pictures for posting on my home forum (Knights of the Empire) to help me show off to all my British chums what I've got on order?

(also like a little brazen bumpage)

No prob...

and as far as an update - just waiting on the foundry. I knew they would be slow as peanut butter!
 
Will you still be producing these by Feb? I *really* want a no-dent one, But I won't have $550 until Feb. I don't care if I'm the last person on the list, but I won't have the cash until then and I've been told I *don't* want to miss this opprotunity. (y)
 
I spoke with the foundry today to push them along. ALL helmets are through investment. half are ready to pour, another quarter are already burned out and three still need burn out. They can all be poured in a week - but I took that with a grain of salt and expect them within this month. I think my presense there will get them moving faster now.

Ordo... this is the last bunch for a long while.
 
just bumping this back up.

ordo, i can't speak for HS, but i got the impression way back when that this run was sort of a one time deal, given what a pain in the rear they are to make.
