My Greaves Project

[Magnus]

Hey Martin, you can email me the pics if you want and I can post them for you. Send me your email via pm.

Matt would you believe that despite me reducing the sizes to enable the pics to fit they still wouldnt load, its a shame because i had to chop so much off the originals the overall effect has been lost so i will have to take more pics, when i have done i'll send them to u. cheers bud

sounds impressive.........should have heard the anglo saxon whilst i was doing it lol

One greave fully complete now. Lined with brown felt, and I used brass strips with loops to tie the leather thong to.

Nice job Magnus - they look like they will be pretty comfortable to wear with the lining.

[Magnus]

Yeah, they're not bad...I had to play around with bending them so they were a bit more snug, but I'm happy.

First Of all I'd like to say great job, you should be very proud.
Are you using a course felt lining or something softer?

[Magnus]

It's a medium courseness I suppose. Not the tightes felt weave I've seen, but it does the job.

Didn't fancy a bit of the old sheep skin? Where did you find the felt?
