In this video, I construct pteruges from leather and bronze. Pteruges are traditionally multilayered linen strips that hang down from a hoplites belt, forming a protective yet highly mobile skirt for hips and thighs.
I decided to make my strips from a heavy strap leather. At the tips of each strip, i constructed bronze "fobs" or decorative end caps. These are decorative but also help weigh down the leather strips and prevent them from curling up. The bronze caps were formed over a simple steel "positive" being clamped to this then lightly hammered to take its shape. After rivetting together, the strips were then hand-stitched to a wide leather belt.
The same process was used to create a gorget, or neckpiece, to which shoulder strips were fastened

"I am Thak and I am stitching my skirt." Word.
Thanks for the videos, enjoy your vacation!
(last chance for lakeside shenanigans before winter comes calling!)
Love the band tshirts. You have great taste. Megadeth Misfits ect
As one of your newer viewers I am seriously enjoying this build and series. Cant wait to see whatever content comes up next. Take care 🤟🏼
Welcome aboard
Never did i think a belt could be so beautiful :)
Incredible work sir
Very cool !
The Argonaughts should have you on retainer!
Cool, thank you !
Great work. I'm always amazed how good your weathered bronze looks after blueing and buffing. I liked the distressed leather process too. Have a great holiday.
How fitting, Thak eats Greek yogurt. 🤙🤙
A great build! Pteryges means ''wings''. While I love the rule of cool in your panoplia, I would like to see you building a super historicaly accurate one.
Idk, seems as historically accurate as you can get to me. Its not like there are full surviving examples for one, and 2 many times warriors personalize there armor anyways.
@@jaredtrainor6860 in fact there are full corridors of surviving armours and helmets and the metal parts of shields if you ever visit the museum in Olympia. There's even a helmet belonging to Miltiades. He dedicated it to Zeus and there is an inscriprion carved on it.
Yeah true, like pterodactyl. I was thinking protrusion.
As usual 10/10 on your videos
Great build as Always thak
very nice
How about you add more that hanging thing between the existing skirt to make it look more 'solid'.
I was using the gun blueing stuff on my wulfric suit.. MAke sure you wash it off quickly! Boy i left it on a while and it was not pleasant to deal with.
WoW the belt looks awesome mate, And I hope every body appreciates how much work goes into making it considering you took it on holidays with you. Cheers . :)
Cool x 100
cool
i been waiting for this
EPIC
thanks
Do perogies next
Amazing 🤟🏼
¿Cuándo va hacer un casco romano?
Lo sigo desde México
depends on the the type...but probably $2000 +
@@ThakIronworks gracias por contestarme tiene videos de muchos cascos pero me gustaría ver cómo hace un casco romano e echo algunas cosas viendo sus videos eres el mejor gracias por compartir lo k hace
Genial
Good work Thak, that seemed tedious to make.
My only concerns are that the gap between each of the pteruges is a bit large which is a liability for protection and the bronze tips dont seem very comfortable when moving around, thankfully i doubt ull be doing any fighting or marching in these : D
Hope it turns out looking good.
Dude even made his own metal water bottle
5th view! Love your stuff Thak!
Just had a thought, will you also get a Greek beard like you see in many statues and paintings?
Not entirely sure if this style of armor was designed around providing ample ventilation of the private parts, or quick, and easy toilet brakes, while on the march. In either case I bet medieval knights were worse off in both regards.
Please it is possible to havé à subitle in French ? Tank you
i was promised a spear . but there was none .. instead he stiched a badass skirt...
i hope dude wears the full kit at the end and reviews how the movement feels like in it
Bad. Ass.
