Made some voiders

(1/5) > >>

Sir Patrick:
My kit needed some maile, but as I can't afford rivetted at the moment (and won't waste funds on butted) I made my own.  Rings are butted 16 gauge fencing wire ($6 at Home Depot) that I coiled on a mandrel. Inner diameter is 9mm. Construction is butted. Didn't want to go to the trouble of going a full shirt (this will hopefully be a short-term placeholder) so I settled on voiders. Still need to whip stitch them to my gambeson. Took me a week's worth of evenings to put together while watching TV. Here's a quick pic.

Sir Rodney:
Very well done!  8)

Ian:
Really nice job!  That's patience right there.  Something I'm often short on :)

Sir Brian:
Awesome! Gets me thinking of how much weight you don't have to carry around with those beauties! :)

Sir James A:
Excellent! When you whip stitch it down, let me know if you can raise your arms. I couldn't get my arms above shoulder level and got really frustrated. :(
