Peter Ellis Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Just found these boards and am extremely impressed with the information available and the generous and helpful way in which it is shared. I've already benefited from reading many excellent suggestions, tips, product reviews... Hope to be able to return the service at some point. I'm primarily doing hardened leather armour, inspired by what was being done in much of Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. There are quite a few surviving sculptures, paintings and effigies that display the work of the time. Some of it is amazing. I also do archery supplies, quivers, bracers. And some pouches. Working on bottles and jacks too. I've attached a couple of pics of some of my work. Peter Ellis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
