Harma Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Hi all, I'm Harma and just signed up today after googling some stuff. Several years ago I picked up leatherworking as a hobby after meeting my (now) fiancee, who taught me the basics and we have been happily working away afterwards, combining projects and trying new stuff. Most of this is self-taught with the exception of one leathercrafting course taken by my bf which got the whole thing started. My main interest lies with armour and making functional stuff, not to stop a sword, but functional in the sense of being able to run around in it as I'm an addict to LRP. Next to armour there are all sorts of other projects like bags, mobile phone cases and some clothing. Notes of interest might be wax-hardening leather, working with metal bits and also doing glow in the dark stuff. Below I'm going to try and implement some pictures of stuff made in the past, these are projects for my own use as well as custom orders. I'm hoping to learn and share here in the future. Best regards, Harma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harma Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks for the warm welcome. I can always use hints and tips as there is probably loads of stuff out there I haven't heard of or do not know how to do and it is always great to see your work improving afterwards (like the discovery of how to create neatly rounded edges). I LRP in various systems across the Netherlands and the UK, mostly medieval and/or fantasy-based (like VA, CP, LoD), but also some modern-day and varying horror themes set in various centuries.
