Title: Fun with leatherwork, Testing Ideas
Post by: Sir Rodney on 2011-07-18, 14:32:08
I’ve recently completed a few minor leather working projects that were used to test some stitching, dying, stamping and tooling ideas floating in my head.  The eventual goal is to build a sheath worthy of my Michael Pikula seax this summer / fall.

The first is an essential item for any war camp; a tooled leather can cozy for the 16 oz. units of liquid rehydration.  ;)

The second is an SCA legal rondel dagger and tooled sheath.  The idea was to have a decent looking backup weapon for fighting polearm that doesn’t scream anachronism from 10 feet.

That's very cool. I recently made a baldric and have another slated to be made. Leather is not as easy to work with as you might think. Not really hard, it's time consuming.

Well if Lord Rodney requires his knighting to be done by “proxy” I would suggest he selects you Sir Wolf as his surrogate, hey with all that weight loss you’ve accomplished I’m sure you will look quite fetching! ;)

It's amazing how you were able to capture my girlish figure so well!  :)

Photoshop really does wonders with a persons measurements (41 years, 6'1", 245 stones lbs.).  ;)

If that armor got any skimpier, I'm thinking a different type of 'equipment' that might come into play. :P
