Making an Aspis - Ring Method (Visual Aids)

[Chris B]

I am starting a new aspis tonight using the ring method. Let me start this thread by giving all credit to Matthew Amt for this construction method. Through various threads people have asked questions on how to construct one and I have been asked repeatedly how I did mine so I will document my process with lots of pictures and a few short videos over the next few days to help anyone to make one for themselves.

First: Read Matthew's method and become very familiar with it because I use it except a few minor modifications in methods.

I will start tonight and slowly add pictures and descriptions of steps over the next 10-14 days to completion including how I paint the designs. Feel free to add ideas if you want!
