What you been doing over Christmas??

[Neuraleanus]

I have been rebuilding totally the top end of a lorica, I have renewed everything except the two outer shoulder plates..

Have you had any problems with nerves below your underarm getting pinched while wearing your segmentata? While carrying my scutum my left hand eventually becomes numb. I've never been able to fix this. I even went to the trouble of fabricating a new torso section from scratch.

For other activities, I'm spending the holidays making a pair of caligae for a friend. Presently the right boot is ready for hobnails and I'm about to start stitching together the left. I'll have pictures to share when they're done.
