I just purchased 2k scales from the Ring Lord
I am going to attempt to make a scale skirt, kind of like what Eomer has in RTOTK.
Now, TRL shows the scales hooked together by chain links. but I dont want that kind of weight. So I was going to attmept to lace them to leather or canvas.
I was thinking a patter like this...
. (. .) .
the () represent the hole on the scale.
up through the left, down through the center, back up through the center, down through the right.
Do you think that would work? Or how would you go about lacing scales with one hole?

Lace it vertically. Instead of holding it together left to right, hold it on by simply lacing the top down.
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.

If you are using canvas, just get a decently big needle. No hole punching needed.
