Manicae Pattern?
#1
I am going to move forward with a manicae construction project soon. I have a few patterns that I was able to Google, but these patterns leave too many details to the imagination.

Could someone please point me to a good pattern?

Thanks,
Marcus

Here's one, a basic pattern

Also check Armamentaria, they offer a really awesome looking piece, outside of buying one,
at least the pictures can be used as an idea of what it out to look like

...Reminds me I ought to make one myself sometime. Keep meaning to but never get around to it *eye roll*

Marcus: you should make one from cardboard first, then you can make your own pattern. There are several ones according to finds, so it wouldn't be a harmful thing to practice on yourself, with your own needs.
