Straps & Buckles

<< < (2/2)

Sir Matthew:
I learned the hard way to check to make sure you are attaching your buckle the right way when I made my first baldric. I attached the buckle with the bent end the wrong way and had to remove and reattach it. Luckily it the leather was folded over and stitched instead of riveted.

Oops, I completely forgot to mention but I do have a beveler (skiver). I got it from Amazon along with the strap cutter. Thanks for mentioning that!

Bring the leather, we'll get it done. :)

Yes, sir!  I'll clear out a Saturday sometime in March, let's do it.

Joshua Santana:
Excellent indeed!  ;D

Sir William:
Well, I blew right past that didn't I?  I'll bring it with me so you can see it...I'm not going to do full plate anymore...maybe bracers and elbows, knees and greaves but mostly maille.  At least that's what I tell myself nowadays.

A shame really...they're well built well fitted pieces, I tried'm on last night just for the hell of it.  The legs, anyway.

Sir Patrick:
Great post!
