Leather, Hot water and maybe wax…

Sounding dodgy enough for you guys yet?

No, it’s not some bizarre Channel 4 Reality show, it’s my attempts to make Leather armour. I’m re-creating a 16th century technique called “Cuir Bouilli” and so far so good. If anyone gets any ideas of things they’ve seen or pictures they might see on the internet, please bung me a link so I can have some practice making stuff. Thanks.

p.s. Chris… those comment things still not working, please turn them on for me.

    I found this picture on the internet.

    And this one.

    This one too. Any help?

    If only the woman in the first picture wasn’t trying to look so serious… Having seen what the rest of the women are wearing on that site, she’s the lucky one!
