Small Hobbies

For a while now, a little over two years, I've journeyed into the world of leather work. I have a small collection of weapons. I have decided to make some armor to join in the collection. This is the first of a string of posts that will be centered around some of the work that has been done.

This first picture is one of David priming for some silver paint that will adorn the ornate handle of this rapier that he made. Later pictures will show the scabbard that will be made for it. David has been making swords for a few years now. We both share a similar interest in arms and armor.

This is a picture of one of my first pieces I ever made. This helmet is a testament to my "learn-as-you-go approach." It is very large. I believe it more a learn how to stitch project more than a helmet but I still aim to see what I can do with it. I learned some concepts and then was sent to work. I have improved as I moved along. Mostly learning from what I did but always eager to learn from other sources my progress improves.


More to come. I only had a couple shots downloaded to my computer but you may see some stuff that you like. I had fun creating it.
