Making a press tool to make cross bands for scabbards
#8
No problem Leofontenla, I am glad it is helpful ? the bands are around 14-15 mm wide metal thickness 0.63 mm that are in the pictures. I would use this as a guide for cross bands when making them as I have used thicker and thinner plate to do them in. If you use old brass heat first to soften the metal as with age it may crack. Also a picture of the strip I bought to make them with against a unfinished piece.  Wink Also the piece is one sided as the back has a different pattern to the front you wish to show, this you will find on the originals as well.
