Splinted greaves: part I


Good day,

I have begun a new project. This pair of splinted greaves is not necessarily completely accurate, but it does look nice, and it's armour, which makes it awesome. Anyway, here are the pictures:

There are six splints, two each of 10", 13", and 14".



I rounded all the corners, and bent up the bottom edges.



Then I started riveting them to the straps.





Unfortunately, I ran out of rivets after the first strap, and it being Memorial Day, the store at which I buy more is closed. Ah well; more work on Wednesday, I suppose.
