Body Measurements

Taking your measurements for your custom-fit snath is simple - just take out your favorite tape measure and provide the following 3 measurements:

1. Overall height (with shoes on).
2. Ground to hip - the head or ball of the femur not your waist. Still not sure how to take this measurement? See this video (~1mb)
3. Elbow to outstretched middle finger (the cubit).

Not sure if you've taken your correct measurements? Read more about fitting a scythe to your body, see workshop 5.
