I'm nearly finished a new gauntlet. (pics to come soon) It is a purchased demi-gauntlet, but I added the finger lames.

I've been doing some hot work metal pounding, and I'm getting some nice shapes for the finger lames.

you're working the fingers hot? What gauge are you using? I've made a finger gauntlet, albeit measured incorrectly for my hand, and the lames would shoot everywhere when I was dishing them. I had somebody in the shop to help me find them.

So far, I've worked all of the finger lames cold. They require little bending (relatively speaking). I opted to bend the finger tips a bit, so that took more work than expected, but everything else was fast.

First, I used tablespoons (my absolute favorite item), and cut off the handles. I would place the spoon on my finger and determine how long it needed to be. I cut it to length as required. (Allow a tiny bit extra, just in case.)

Place the spoon in your vise and slowly crank it closed. Squish it a teeny more than you would like it, as it springs back open a little bit. Any fine-tuning/bending can be done with a set of pliers.

Recheck for fit on your finger. Trim with heavy snips as required. File/grind edges smooth.

Punch holes as required to rivet to a leather strip beneath. The rivets seem to work best when placed toward the edges on the underlapped lame. For the lame-edge ontop, place the rivet a little bit furthur away. (You can see how it's done on the gauntlet.)

Once you make a couple 'practice' full-fingers, you will get the hang of it. It is not as hard as it looks. Proper sizing is the key to a good fit, though. (At least with this style of lames.) If you use floating knuckle riders, then the lame lengths would be more forgiving.

Tablespoons are at Walmart. 6 for $1 is hard to beat! You will need 3 spoons per finger, and possibly 4, if you have a long finger. (If you use 4 spoons, then 2 spoons get rivetted together for the longest finger lame.)

have fun!

Thanks for the advice, Sir Victor. I am anxious to see these gauntlets up close.

Here's some pictures of the ugly gauntlet. I found some hinges in the yard, attatched to a post rotting out of the ground. The hinge matches the heavily corroded "finish" of the rest of my armor. Everythingl else was made by me from 18AWG mild steel.
I kinda riveted the turning pin to close the door too stoutly, so I have to twist it closed with pliers. It should be comfortable with a little more tweaking, now that it doesn't try tro come off of my wrist anymore.

Well done, Jesse!
At this rate, you will be nicely armored.
So, when are you gonna make the other one? :)
