Yes. Made my own. You saw the result at Boar's Head (if you remember. You had a lot going that day)

Not on hand - at work right now. Practice is tonight, so I will dig it up tomorrow after work.

The pattern is designed to raise the elbow to the desired depth.

I've used this pattern in the past, it turns out a pretty decent set of elbows, im thinking of turning out a pair for myself to wear under my long sleves

I just realized the one I listed is the exact same pattern...I like Krag's website, very nice.

BTW Murdoch, Those were the first project I made, and the y are easy and turn out pretty quick. I have seen your work, they should be great when you are done!

yeah I'm making a set in spring right now. I just hot dished them in my deepest dish, and then boughed them-left them a little rough from the hammer, crease them, and flanged the edges-very easy to do.

Thanks Lienhart Fischer, that's nice to know I'm planning on making some today. Hope I got the skills to pull it off.

Well

Been messing with it

It's a bit too shallow imo and the edges need work and it's off center on the crease and i need to put the center crese in.

BUttttt here ya go

Not done and it's "ok ish" for a slapped out proto type

More pics as i get more done to it

That one is still too shallow

It got kinda lumpy and i had to reall planish it to get it back smooth

i'm gonna futz with the pattern a little and see if i can get it deeper.

The 2nd one came out more like i wanted em to be.

figure i'll do 2 more sets and be ok enough at em that someone would want em.
