Quote: Dan, have you made a sewn thorax? I'd certainly be interested to try one. I have too many other projects on at present to make one myself and, since I now have two linothorakes and a bronze cuirass, no necessity!I've played with a few prototypes but I won't be making a linothorax for myself till Jason finishes his research. I have plenty of other projects to keep busy till then. Jason's comment about glue is valid. The glues the Greeks used are noted as being susceptible to moisture.
