Now that I've finally handed it off to you, let me know if you still need any measurements, etc. :)
Allan Senefelder:
Actually being able to see you in person pretty much took care of what I needed to know so we're all set. It will work fine for you when I get done with it. I may " crisp up " the flutes a bit after brining the waist line up to spiff it up a little bit.
Sir Edward:
Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to try it out. :)
Allan Senefelder:
Ed, this is going pretty much as we discussed. I've brought the plackard and breast plate back to thier original attachment location but the only hard point is at the center on a slot rivet, the sides are on leather compression articulation to allow the sides so compression motion. Removing about an inch on the bottom of the plackard, flaring the new flange farther out that the original ( this will allow the first fauld lame to collaps far more than it now does which is part of the length issue ), it should collapse in the same manner as the second lame you and Chuck added on does. I will be crisping up the flutes and may with your permission add a central ridge to each tasset for strength and to add a bit more flare. I'll need to remove a like amount of material from the bottom of the back plate to keep them even. Spread the curvature a bit so its not so snug and this should work alot better for you. I'll be blind riveting the old attachment holes on both the plackard and top part of the breast plate to maintain esthetic and i'm thinking dress up some of the " points " on the plackard with a little file work and edge beveling.
