this one could've been a lot better. made a lot of mistakes: I did not use a welt on the handle and it made it to weak to hold the tankard and I used leather way too thin.

It did work though, I used for one whole festival day without any leaks but the wax did crack in the inside. Will try to do a better one for the next festival.

Hi Tony, sorry about the late response. As to any instructions, I pretty much followed the tutorial on mug making that is pinned in the historical reenactment by Angster. the only difference is that I did not have such a big quantity of bee's wax or brewer's pitch to dunk the tankard in so I just coated the inside with several layers.
