Members hivemind Posted December 13, 2009 Author Members Report Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) I can do this for you: I don't have a pattern for the rerebrace (upper arm) or cuisse (upper leg) because they're easy and I just eyeballed them, and I don't have a pattern for the knee cop because I just extended the elbow cop pattern an inch in every dimension and made the pie cutout 2 inches wide. The only other odd, non-obvious thing I did was when I was attaching the four lames and the cop together (the five pieces that make up an elbow or a knee) I added a #10 galvanized washer between the two pieces of leather, and then another below the copper burr, then didn't ram the burr down all the way before I peened it over. This left the leather more able to articulate the way is should. Once they break it, thy flop around just like steel would at the articulations. Edited December 13, 2009 by hivemind Quote
