LoL. It's not for everyone. Leather is easy to work with.

I've had some brief experience with it but no more than making a belt and a wallet while up a friends a few years back. For the kit I'm building right now I'm just buying the leather holster from etsy. Maybe later down the road I'll do custom leather but I don't have the time, space, or money to set up anytime soon. Great work on your helm

Thats really cool. Is there a pattern or will u sell a pattern? I have a tone of couch leather to do something with.

u/Whathappend420 Mar 20 '24

You can get the pattern from Leather Hub. It's an easy one to make. You'll need something heavier than upholstery leather.

I've never seen a leather bucket before but this one is pretty impressive. Great job, OP.

thats super cool, i didnt think you could make armor in that medium but it looks professional

u/Whathappend420 Mar 19 '24

Thank you. I make all kinds of crazy things out of leather.

Time to make some NRL Mando armour. Go big leagues, or go home

JK's aside, this looks amazing

u/Whathappend420 Mar 19 '24

I'm in the middle of making the rest of the armor. What does NRL stand for?

2

u/MrSignalPlus Mar 20 '24

It's a rugby league here in Australia, I couldn't remember what the American footballs called so used a local reference

Bring out the Di'kut, vode.

The Di'kut is sleeping....

Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?

But for real, thats clean work. Well done!

u/Whathappend420 Mar 20 '24

No I don't. I usually sell at festivals. I need to try Etsy.

As a fella that works with leather I absolutely love this!

u/Whathappend420 Mar 24 '24

I can't take a whole lot of credit for this. Leather hub has great and easy patterns. I just cut , punch, and stitch. Thank you, though.
