Ahhah! OK I'll 99% go for rivets. They are authentic and that's what we want eh! I won't touch it with dirty hands, sweaty etc, and I don't mind it going dull. If it needs a clean I'll just have to be careful! Plus I'll oil it with olive oil or some meat fat. I'm sure the Romans used either those for all their equipment to prevent rust, why not the brass 
Thanks, I'll try and get working on it now :-)
So my friend Brian, may I have your opinion about cross hangers? I have .016 th brass sheet. I think I'll make simple flat, or single grove cross hangers. Of course embossing adds to strength, but it's some work doing those ultra groovy lines
, I think most cross hangers would have been rather simplistic :!: anyway to add to strength, would it be OK to fold the brass over to thicken it? Carefully of course...
Demetrius...that's interesting and will likely be the first method I'll try!
Thank yall for the time :lol:
