I’ve got a new video coming! I talk about the results of my recent attempt at painting leather armor! The video is out a week early for all my patrons over on Patreon! If you like my work, consider supporting me there for early access to videos and your name in the credits on tutorials!

Third go with the rondels and cuir bouilli. I want to try some decoration with these. I'll have to look into medieval paint...

Cuir bouillie. Hardened leather has been used for ages for armor, tools, and other purposes. Its been amazing learning more about it and working it out over the years.

Doing new tests with leather armor. With what I learned making this rondel I expect I could make a good buckler as well.

Vambrace. Still perfecting the cuir bouillie technique with hide glue. Very happy with these!

As my last several posts probably signal, I've been trying to go about exploring hide glue infusion as a method of Cuir Bouilli. A lot of what I've read and seen makes me think that this method has a lot of promise when it comes to the veracity of this as a technique used historically...

Did more experimentation with leather hardening.
