Finally received my riveting tool
Sir James A:
When I had the canopy bed, I put my quarter staff through the arms of the hauberk / haubergeon and let it hang from the top of the canopy to work from; as you do, so I can sit and watch TV at the same time. If it works, it works!
Sir Brian:
I hang mine from a pole like that when I want to apply a liberal coat of gun oil on it which is what I'll do after I'm finished and ready to put it back in the sack. :)
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I just spread mine out on a folding table in front of the TV. I used a 4-foot table from Office Depot.
I find that after hunching over it for any length of time, I tend to walk away with back-pain in the lower back. I hate that. I think it's worse than any beating my hands take from the pliers. :) Oh how we suffer for our art, no? :)
So you're working on sleeves right now?
Sir Brian:
I finished one and I have all but 4" of the other one left to do. Working with riveted maille is a bit more tedious but still not that bad. :)
Sir Edward:
Excellent. Yeah, it's only slightly worse. Mostly it's just a lot more time consuming.
