I'm not that familiar with this pattern, what source did you use?

well, it looks pretty good to me so far.
i was thinking of doing something similar for the maille and plates harness i've been working on, so i'm deffinetly interested in progress pics.
a couple questions though.
1 how do the lames at the back and sides of the metacarple plate sit in relation to your hands, do they come back to the wrist or past it?
also, will these be the same as the finished one you posted earlier?

some pictures i'd like to see are an internal shot, before atatching to the glove showing the general shape/layout of the leather underneath, and some pics of actually ataching it to the glove.

I tried to improve on a pair from "merconary tailor" [I think]. These are not the same as an earlier posting. The lames stop at the wrist Thanx
