The Armour Archive

so i recently decided to upgrade my old first gauntlets for something a little sturdier and something that looks a little better. So here is the first set of gauntlets i made just so i would have my own pair:



And now....drum roll please.........
My new upgraded gauntlets that i made over the past two days:



these are hand cut and stitched, dyed with vinegaroon, and wax hardened. Not trying to toot my own horn but these (I believe) are the best pieces i have made yet. I hope to keep improving and start churning these out on a more regular basis. but for now i am happy just upgrading my own gear.
Think i am going to start on a new set of leg armor or a new pair of bazubands tomorrow.

Nice work. Great shape and that stitching looks like it would take a sawzall to take them apart.

Good job.

Hi Nice shape on them monkeys. And yes the stitching looks tuff, Keep up the good work.

Take care

You have learned much and speedily, Grasshopper.

Get a bunch of buddies and you can be a Locust!

thanks guys! Your encouraging words will help drive me on to bigger and better projects. I am trying to learn and try out as many patterns as i can.

All the stitching is hand stitched. The gaunts are also wax hardened with a 50/50 beeswax, paraffin mixture as suggested by Magnus. They turned out quite nice and are quite solid. Now i just need a fighter practice so i can try these babies out.

thanks again guys.
