Apply adhesive both to the front

side of the cuirass where the

hinge ts and to the hinge, then t

the hinge into place. Hold it there

with pegs while the glue dries.

Leave the cuirass side assembly clamped

until the adhesive is completely dry.

Fit the upper part in

place, engaging the

holes and projections of

both parts. Hold the two

pieces in place while the

glue dries. You may

prefer to use clothes

pegs for this.

Test-t the two cuirass parts

together. Apply some adhesive

to the upper part of the cuirass,

between the holes.

Assembled parts

Tie a knot about 16-17cm from the tip of the cord, then

cut the cord past the knot and apply glue to harden it.

Thread the cord through the hole in the pin. Then thread the cord

through the hole on the

front of the side cuirass. Tie

a knot 13cm from the end of

the pin.

Cut o the

excess cord

Prepare another

length of lace,

and then thread it

through the bottom

hole of the third

column of the sixth

plate. Leave about

5mm at the end of

the lace on the back

side and glue it

into place.

Now pass the

lace through the

adjacent hole in the

bottom row, and cross

over the lace threaded in

Steps 8-9 along the

bottom two rows.

Leave about 5mm at the end of the

lace, tie a knot, cut away any excess

lace, and apply PVA glue to the knot, as

with the previous sixth tasset plates

(Page 9 and 19).

Bring the lace up and pass it down

through the next hole. Repeat this

process all along the third row of the

tasset plate.

Thread the length of

lace into the third hole

down on the front side of

the sixth plate. Pull right

the way through, so the

knot is up against the

hole.

Squash the knot
