Today I
started very, very early. Since I had to get up and travel far to
restock my supply of EVA foam. And to pick up some materials and some
small straps. I had to wake myself up super early and head for the
store to restock my food supplies anyhow. Which entails a very long
journey of several hours by commute. Unlike Biltema, which is a store
chain. Jula had a full stock. Naturally I had to get at least two
packs to strap onto my backpack. They are not meant to be carried and
are in fact quite unrevealdy. I also squired some battles of latex
sealant, that can be used in cracks and crevices. It also has a habit
of betting everywhere. Luckily the terrible weather let up somewhat.
It’s still windy as heck and we’ve had rain almost every day.
I
actually achieved a lot this day. After a lot of tinkering and a
messy prototype. I did manage to produce a proper greave. Not only is
there the long piece in-front. There is also the short piece attached
to the upper calves. As seen on the pictures, the inside have been
covered with fabric, a strap and several blue hoops.
The
fabric helps holding it all together and prevent some chafing. It
will also prevent the pieces from moving on their own accord. Because
physics! On one side I attached the blue strap pieces as a hinge.
That way I can open and close the greave. While keeping the gap
mostly closed. The blue hoops are meant to keep the strap with the
buckle in place. It’s a rather simple one. Hold down the leaver and
push the strap through. Tightening it will still cause some
complications though. Somewhat rectified by keeping the buckle in
place with glue. Only good things will come from this.
It will
look real nice when it is done!
