Really love the theory explanations, Graham: just like standing in the workshop with a hammer in my hand, learning how you do things. Brilliant, thank you!
@@GreenleafWorkshop Graham, this series of videos is wonderful. Watching this as you explain the theory in detail is what I've been looking for. Also, please don't forget to go back (after this series) and teach us how to measure ourselves or a client to make patterns for the basic shapes of different armour components.
Thank you. I do wonder how different well made would look if it was made for the exaggerated muscles of bodybuilders. They would probably really try to show off their shape and size. Maybe even bring back the muscle cuirass.
There are some drawings of 'heroic' harness, that while not fully muscled are a little more shaped around the human form than most standard armours. A lot of the earliest Greek armours followed the contours of the muscles and look great, although often they appear a bit stunted because you can't simply make a cuirass the same length of the person or bending becomes awkward.

Cheers mate, that's the aim. I may start to do a few more like this and teach like I do at West Dean, if it hits the spot :)
Greenleaf Workshop heck yes it does! And I’ll happily buy you a digital coffee for the pleasure of your company

Tips and tricks + explaining the shapes... Can't ask for more!
Glad it's useful, hopefully the rest will be of use.
