constructing and mounting a porpax

[Kineas]

As promised--Lorica's aspis. Or, our shops second production model. And the third is getting the linen layers even now...

First, a good photo of the clenching stage:

Spikes in:

and the spikes bent for clenching

here's the next stage--

So I've driven the spikes and started clenching them, and now I'm rippling the spike into it's new hole with a cold chisel and some tapping.

Lorica, happy that I haven't wrecked her porpax!
