Crafting a Leather Gorget
Crafting a medieval leather gorget from start to finish. I sell both the pattern and the item itself on my Etsy shop. You can get your own from my shop: https://foxesandravens.com/collections/fantasy-themed/products/custom-tooled-leather-gorget You can also get the pattern if you want to try making it yourself here: https://foxesandravens.com/collections/digital-patterns/products/leather-gorget-pattern Part One: Cutting and Punching 0:15 Part Two: Wet Shaping 3:18 Part Three: Tooling 4:20 Part Four: Dyeing 6:16 Part Five: Assembling 8:00 Part Six: Presentation 8:34 This piece is great for LARPs, or Medieval and Renaissance Fairs. I cannot speak to the efficacy of such a piece for live steel combat, as it wasn't designed with that in mind, but adjustments could easily be made. Most of the music is from Out of My Own Light by @LouiseBichan, a Scottish traditional violinist/fiddler. You can find the album on bandcamp at https://louisebichan.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-my-own-light Her other channel is @fiddlecam, where she posts videos of her playing lovely traditional tunes in front of beautiful landscapes all over the world. The final song is from Jean-François Bélanger, a Quebecois musician playing and composing Scandinavian inspired tunes on nyckelharpa. His channel is @JeanFrançoisBélanger Find him on iTunes here: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jean-françois-bélanger/616475223 #leathercrafting #withme
