Should RomanArmy.com have an Equipment Section?

[richsc]

Instead of an Equipment Section, how about 'Best Practices' in construction. I was trying to think out hinges for my balteus, and was thinking a good visual demonstration would be so helpful. For something like this, perhaps we can leave helmets & swords out, but I would think that everything else would be worthwhile:<br>
<br>
Just a tools section would be great!<br>
<br>
Pilum: selection of wood, shaping and grain, finding the shaft, tips on sawing, what to use for the nails, how to peen;<br>
<br>
belt: selecting leather, finding brass plates, shaping, making holes, finding rivets, peening, etc;<br>
<br>
caligae; leather types, shaping, punching holes, types of thread, shaping of heels, experience with weak spots,<br>
<br>
And a depiction of good examples from reenactors with closeup photos, perhaps comparisons of several types that are good, so the reenactor won't get hyper about one technique. <p>Richard<br>
