Weirdly still all the same D&D session.
What, this is so cool. As a nerdy urban city kid, I really look up to people who can craft. Such essential skills that mustn’t be forgotten. Pls continue sharing more neat projects with us plebs! :)
Don't let being in a city stop you! Things like leatherwork can be done easily indoors. Other types of building/crafting are made a ton easier with access to makerspaces. Makerspaces give you access to cool/big/potentially expensive equipment. Heck, a lot of libraries even have 3D printers.
As a long time tinkerer, the most important thing is getting started. Choose a small and achievable project and go from there. If you're into leather you could do something like a watch strap (NATO straps are super easy) or a wallet to get started. Make a sketch of what you want to make, put some dimensions on it, and go from there. Being able to visualize what you want to make and then being able to turn that into a plan is its own skill that you can rabbit hole. Or you can use existing designs/patterns and just make stuff.
Yes! In my little city we've got at least one, maybe two, makerspaces and I love the one that I've been to!!
The runes read magicwild alright. Is this a photo in front of a mirror? I think the Ansuz points the wrong way, Wunjo and Laguz are upside down. However that’s actually okay to do with runes. They are found inverted and written in either direction as well.
Is that your character‘s name?
Front facing camera so the effect is the same. And no not the name so much as me taking inspo from the Dnd sublass. I liked the idea of many many small(er) projects coming together for one particular costume. I've got a leather vambrace I've made as well but just dont have a good picture yet
Great work. You should be proud.
Super cool!! 😱🤩✨
edit: FWIW, you must be a very new or a very lucky wild mage to have armor that unscarred. 🤣
Nice work! I'm a fellow leathercrafter but I've not scaled up to anything of that size just yet.
Its just more of the same things you'd be doing with a smaller project. The wax hardening was a new thing for me but wasn't hard at all. The guy I got the pattern from makes great videos
Looks awesome!!
Looks awesome, great work!
I'm curious about the straps — do they connect at the back similar to how it looks from the front? How do you don/doff the spaulders — is there a latch or other adjustment stuff we can't see? How comfortable are the straps?
I ask because I have been considering making something similar, and I'm undecided at how to arrange things (it depends on what I decide to do for other armour pieces). I apologise if it seems like I'm interrogating you, I'm just an enthusiastic nerd
Oh no worries! The two straps going underneath my arms are buckled to another strap connected with a Chicago screw directly to the back of the spaulder. I didn't want to have a gorget or a cuirass as I'm going for more of a lightly armored spellcaster vibe but in a more complete set that's more of what it'd be attached to.
Damn! Those look legit. Great job 🤘
Fuck yeah. Just imagining all the doors I could shoulder-check like a boss. Fuck yeah.
Hell yeah. That's like a level 14 quest reward right there. The first real sign of progression. Helm comes around 20.
Good lord this rules
