Calling all Elves! I’m going to make a belt pouch for a friend who sadly had to deliver her stillborn son. He was laid to rest two months back and her husband said that she’s thinking of dressing as an Elven Huntress for the Renfest. Since PJ didn’t have many pouches in the movies I find mysel...

Well done!

I’ll second the use of a lap board. If you want something to give you nice spacing for cheap get a metal fork from a thrift store flatten it and file the prongs. It’s what I use and I love it and it looks really nice.

I haven't gotten to making a new sword hanger yet but I did manage to give this sword a new handle and I must say that it feels so much better in the hand. Thank you for that suggestion.

Well done!

Very cool

Leatherwork is fun and I use the sharpened fork it works well.

I've received my first leatherwork commission and I have a question on vambraces. More to the point how thick of leather to use? His renfest garb is more lord than ranger would a sturdy but more flexible leather work good or a more stiff leather? Any help would be nice. Thank you

Very cool

A great source for tinder in the wild at least is inner tree bark. Once it's dry it takes a spark nicely I try to make sure I have a stash of it in my fire kit

Good idea. I know I have a few of those books myself

Wow that looks really cool.

Well done!

Thanks for the help and great info. Now to start sewing once I have some house projects done.
