Well, the time had come to stop browsing the internet and asking dumb questions on RAT. I made my scutum press at the weekend and thought you might like to see the progress:
First I made the patterns for the plywood parts of the scutum press. This follows pretty closely the Leg XX press and patterns. A radius of 13" to mark out the curve of the shield, with a depth of 9.5" to the chord. The chord length works out at about 26" and the outer face is about 30" or so. The pattern is cut from 2mm MDF with a Stanley knife.
