Thanks guys!
Perhaps I will try to get an reasonable accurate lamellar cuirass from Podol first? It would be within my abilities to make a an undergarment (padded) with leather pteruges-flaps in the shoulders and thighs under it. Then I could later buy an long sleeved mailshirt which I can wear under that lamellar cuirass or simply over the tunic. Or simply the lamellar cuirass with the tunic...
It seems that having both a lamellar cuirass and a mailshirt would give me possibilities to vary the gear when different situations arise!

If I play with riveted mail I have to go out into the shed. If I make butted mail I can do it in front of the TV.

I think that maybe could be useful to post some rings making good tutotrials, especially for the rookies and if you don't know the how-to yet.

Hand-coiling up is more accurate? Sure, but that's the power-way to make it quickly by electric drill... A good tutorial :wink:

As above, but for very mini-rings:

Interesting stuff Daniele!
