:?: Ok, do you know of an on-line source of those? If you could send me a few of the steel bristles I would be very grateful. I'll send you a PM.
By the way, the new caligae, pair number 5, are looking good. I'm using 3mm thick leather for the upper, a 6mm bend for the out-sole, and 2mm for the insole. I cut the back curved rather than notched, as shown in the original pattern, and whip stitched together the lower back. That combined with the thicker leather I think should solve the stretching problem that I had with the previous pair. The Le Prevo hobnails look good.
Interesting site. Unfortunately, Bablefish hic-uped on it, but the picture appears self-explanatory. Let's see if I got this right, take a piece if wire, fold it in half with a loop at one end, and solder? I might try that.
