First I drew a line about 0.8-10mm inwards and parallel to the rim of the outer sole to determine the outer line of nails. I marked the spacing with the awl, varying width according to expected strain and abrasion. To judge this I simply looked at my first pair of caligae, which I made over 10 years ago and which I know to have more than 400km on them.
Follwing the markings I first did the outer line of nails.
