Well first I have to find a fabric (leather), then I have to layer it twice, glue it. THen I need the snapping parts, I have to make holes with knives, and then stick them in. Then it is just a matter of putting holes, and putting screws through the holes, and then screwing the spikes in. As for the chains, you just stiick the chain on the screw before you twist the spike in. It's easy. I plan on going to my local shop and picking up some big spikes and putting them on every second spike.
