Oh, yeah didn't really collect my thoughts there, sorry it's 2:30 am.
If you also like working with leather, a lot of the pieces of armor can be made of cured leather. There are avrious forms of scale mail that people have made from leather - horribly tedious, I think there are seven holes per piece and several thousand pieces for chest armor, and then more basic forms such as grieves and leg armor.
Here is the link for the sca marshals handbook. Armor standards start on page 11. I had though that helms had to be minimum 12ga, but that might have just been the local chapters rules, as apparently the official book only requires 16ga.
