Making an Aspis - Ring Method (Visual Aids)
#93
Thank you Dan

Now I have the rest of the work to do on it, but I am very pleased so far. It helps at times to have a Father who trained as a cabinet maker and is willing to advise and help along the way.
The nice thing as well I weighed it and so far it comes in at 9 lbs. Now I have leather, linen and brass/bronze to go on it but so far it is rather light and strong. The wood is still 3/4" think. I could thin it down more, but I don't think it needs it.
More on production as I go along.
