I Want to Make Real Armor
I've been wanting to make a suit of armor for myself and wondered if anyone has done any armor making on the board.
Moved from TK's Thread...
You guys are talking about kydex for easy molding, how easy are we talking? Zeraph talked about using it instead of leather for SCA heavy fighting armor, is it a good viable replacement for leather in armor making? I've been looking for a source of vegetable-tanned leather and have been coming up dry. I've got a suit of (personal) armor swimming around in my head that I want to make. I wanted to make it out of leather and scrap metal, but i'm down for any type of leather material if it can hold up to similar abuse. Where are do you get it and what kind of tools are needed to work with it?
