Hello. So, I have very little experiance in leather working, and I'd like to make some Belegarth legal armor. I dont plan on using it other than for show, but, I want it to be sturdy enough for using it in the future, if I decide I want to go the route of wearing armor.
Anyways, what would be a couple good first steps towards learning to make leather armor? Like, some good first projects?
I have a big bag of leather scraps (ranging from what it'd take to cover a football, to maybe 5 square foot chunks), all a bit better than half the thickness they aught to be, but, two layers over, they are thick enough by a measurable margin.
Appreciate any advice you'd give this newbie armorer.
