[TheForge] Opening up an SCA metalworkers List...

Sun Nov 17 14:41:00 2002

Ye gods, you've got an imagination. Raised from the top plate--I suppose 
you could do it, but I didn't.

The vertical elements, and the two back plates are riveted in place. The 
rivet holes were beveled, rivets hammered down, then filed flush. You 
can see a couple of the rivets if you look carefully (more carefully 
than I hammered). Look especially on the back boss toward the bottom 
before the swelling on the end.

Lots of file work in finishing, increased by my relatively low 
experience at the time.
