New!
I have recently added spring steel and spring stainless steel plates to the material selection.  These alloys will take a lot of abuse without deforming.  Currently, the bulk rate pricing does not apply to these materials.  I will not flute the spring materials.


 Fluting:
Another method to increase the durability of plates, is to flute them.  Currently, fluting is offered on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum.  The spring steels don't need fluting.  The styles that are fluting right now are 8b, 8c (not pictured in the drawing, but the bottom and top pairs of holes are horizontal), 20, 21, and 22b.
 
Fluting adds $0.05 per plate.  

 

Greetings all!  This page is to provide information on the lamellar plates I am selling.  They are for fighting in the SCA, as well as other organizations.

Cost:
Aluminum (0.063) - $.55
Stainless Steel (20g) - $.55
Mild Steel (20g) - $.50

Now available!
1075 spring tempered steel (0.031) - $.80
301 full hard stainless steel (0.031) - $.95

I do accept credit cards for payments, but not through paypal.

Shipping anywhere in the US is $11 via USPS flat rate box with delivery confirmation.

All orders over 1000 plates will get bulk pricing. It will be $.05 off per plate. So 0.063 thick aluminum plates that are normally $.55 apiece will be $.50 when 1000 or more are ordered.  This applies to all materials.  Styles can be combined, so if you'd like 500 of two different styles, but the material is the same, then the bulk rate applies.

Bulk plates will not be zip tied in packages of 50 like I have been doing. I'll still be using the flat rate boxes for shipping. 

I have no problems shipping internationally.  Using the USPS flat rate boxes, the cost to Canada and Mexico is $23.00 per box, and to all other countries for $37.00.  There is a 20 pound maximum for international shipments, so shipments heavier will be broken down into the appropriate number of boxes.  It is more cost effective this way rather than one large box.

I can only make it to the post office on Fridays.  When the order is placed, I'll advise on when I'll be shipping the plates.

Variations on these plates will run the same price as long as nothing is radically changed. 

These are the plates that I currently have drawn and modeled.  If you'd like changes or have a specific design not listed, just email me a picture/sketch and I'll process it. 

If you need an estimate of the number of plates needed, please include the amount of square feet that you're trying to cover.
