Well it's been nearly a year since I first got into leather working. This is my most recent project, a leather cuirass with a matching oversized belt.

From the album: DJole -- Completed Work
This is a shell guard for my rapier, protecting the back of the hand better. -
This is cuir boulli, molded in a shallow cup shape. The shell is gold acrylic, and that's Angelus Light Blue for the background. I hardly ever lace things, but it's a great idea here-- the lacing not only holds it on, but it also protects the highest wearing point where other swords will actually make the most contact. This is the raw piece, just after cutting the design in with my swivel knife.

Looking for information for how to dye or paint veg tan leather white in a way that would be resilient enough for daily wear as a belt. Thanks! -
Hello all, I'm looking for some guidance here. I'm planning on making my first set of turnshoes and I'm having trouble finding what leather thickness to use. The more technical texts (Shoes and Pattens, Anglo-Scandinavian Leatherworking in York), talk about types of leather but not thicknesses. Tutorials online contradict each other - some say to use 5/6oz leather, at least one says that anything thicker than 4 oz will always split when you turn them. Given that the leather species used for uppers in medieval contexts was often calf, sheep, or goat, it seems like the leather would be quite thin - maybe2- 3 oz. But how on earth could you do a butt stitch or tunnel stitch on such thin leather(like for heel stiffeners and closing seams). So, for those of you in the know - what thickness have you used for uppers? Has anyone had any luck doing closing seams on really tin leather?

This is a leather helm crest based on my Coat of Arms in the SCA. It was made with materials that would have been used during the Middle Ages along with the same techniques. To learn more about how it was made you can read the PDF I posted here... http://www.leatherbybarry.com/SCA/SkullHelmCrest.pdf This helm is currently not completed. I will post more pictures and update the PDF when it is finished.© Barry hicks

Hey everyone. It's been a while. Over the last couple of years I've been studying how to make leather helm crests. I uploaded a couple of photos of the two I have been working on recently. Here's a link to the gallery. I also put up a link to the documentation as to how they are made. I also have a blue hoer I need to upload as well, which I will do hopefully over the next day or so. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?app=gallery&album=2314 It's a very different kind of approach to leather because the leather is the base of the finished piece. Here's a peak at one of them...
