| MCB Member  Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: People's Republic of Massachusetts   | 12 Gram Gauntlet...SCA Legal? Well, in preparation for a bigger project, I figured I'd make something simple to cut my teeth...   The intention of this design is to lace it up and only have to unbuckle the strap to slip it off...  I hate 12 grams that fall out when you're running...  They're in there tight, but they're easy enough to get out...

| Classy  Join Date: May 2006 Location: Mississauga, ON | That's actually pretty nice! Good design! My only concern is the inside. I had a summer job working at a steel processing plant where I had to wear leather arm guards. When you're sweating like a pig, that stuff chafes like nothing else.

| Active Member  Join Date: Apr 2006 | I think that looks great man. I'd try and remove some excess material to allow more movement, make it more spidery looking if you will. Looks good though, nice job! -Butch

| MCB Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: People's Republic of Massachusetts | I was thinking that Butch...if fact the project I'm working on is an attempt to whittle down my stock class gear to the bare essentials. That's why I didn't go with the normal strait laced gauntlet design. However, the leather is already a little thin and I think that any more and it would move too much, and it wouldn't be easy to get the 12 grams out.
