I will present all the basic techniques of leathercraft. From the tools to the different steps of working with leather, you will learn everything to make your own armour or any kind of accessories. Based on the work in progress pictures of my own armours, you'll see how each technique is used for armour making. I will also have some tools and leather so you can check those techniques in practice.
