I posted this also in the buy/sell/trade board too, I just wanted to also share with those who frequent the armory board:
I am currently in the process of making a series of helms, some for me and my realm. I plan on this week stopping by my local leather supply store and buying the necesary tools and stock to make a beginning product line, helmets. I have 5 designs laid out, incorporating a light, sport feel while at the same time remaining true to the medieval looks and taste. On the plate thus far are: a corinthian spartan, a urik-hai skull face (with permission from warlord V'Hil), an Angmarth style paladin (also with permission from Lord Angmarth), a dark samurai, and a vendel viking helm.
Most of my experience in armor making has been with steel and other various metals, i used to be a full time armorer for the sca, but i have experience in all mediums, leather, chain, even plastics. I dont have any pictures right now, and since all my work has been either sold or donated to swordbrothers,
The prices for these helms will be very inexpensive, vary from 40-60 dollars. I'm not looking to make any real profit on these pieces, just for basic material costs, the experience, and test the field here for a merchant.
