Hoplon ancient method of construction
#4
Agree with Spyros here.

A bronzesmith in Monastirakli-Athens told us the it is easier to make a metal round disk and "bowl-shape it".
The difficult part is to find a carpender willing to treat the wooden planks with steam and fit them in the metal "bowl".

I went and ask and prices were really murderous.

Kind regards
