Members daveydude Posted April 23, 2012 Members Report Posted April 23, 2012 Here's a spaulder & harness I knocked up last week. Pretty pleased with it, seems quite comfortable to wear but I'll be fighting with it this weekend so I shall see if the template needs any adjustments! Quote
AndyL1 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) That is incredibly nice! Love the simple details, nothing too fancy. Color is great too. What oz weight is the leather by the way? Cheers, Andy Edited April 23, 2012 by AndyL1 Quote

I'm not actually sure what weight that leather is, it's about 3mm thick though. Your bags are spectacular - I gave you a 'like' on Facebook Quote

I'd love to make myself something similar to this one day. I just picked up some 8-9oz that may do the trick (at least for costuming purposes.) Thanks for the complements and the "like"! -Andy Edited April 25, 2012 by AndyL1 Quote
Members tenabrae Posted April 26, 2012 Members Report Posted April 26, 2012 I've done some metal-weapon fighting grade armour out of 5.5mm sole leather and it's crazy solid. Usually I use 3.4mm for my costume grade armour which is great unhardened and also hardens up nicely with hot water techniques. Quote
Members toker Posted August 21, 2012 Members Report Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Excellent work! I also liked what I saw on your Facebook page. Lately all I have done is a little tooling, but this is inspiring me to get back into everything a little heavier. I found a site on Ebay that sells some really awesome medieval style hardware for Belts, Bags, LARP, and Historical applications. They sell out as fast as they post the stuff!

Members Aghrivaine Posted November 25, 2012 Members Report Posted November 25, 2012 Hi Andy, I just checked out your Blackthorn page - beautiful stuff. I too am in scenic Los Angeles, can you recommend any suppliers in the area? I make stuff for larp and re-enactors. In fact, I run a LARP in the area, if you're ever interested in actually playing!
