Novice Leather Armorer

Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone!

My name is Matthew from Michigan and I'm doing a crash course on armor leatherworking.  I'm just getting started and have most of my tools.  I simply lack the experience, which should make this interesting.

My project is a near complete armor pattern set from Prince Armor Academy, the Imperial Knight.  I have the patterns and am currently mocking up the armor to make sure that it will actually fit.  I need to have the armor finished by June for a larp event at the end of that month.  While it feels like I have plenty of time now, it'll go by quick.  So much so that I'm looking at options to have the leather cut on a laser cutter for me.  Please let me know if you know of any options in the mid-Michigan area.

I'll be on here asking for help on a variety of topics from tooling to putting a metallic touch to the armor.

Have you looked at Dark Horse Workshop (website and YouTube videos) for patterns and how-to instruction?

Yes I have.   I like their patterns, but I need something other than a Viking style.  Plus I already bought patterns from Prince Armor Academy.
