Leather Lamellar, Elbow, Gauntlet, and Basket Hilt

This pattern gets first billing here for good reason. It is by far the best primer for leather projects I`ve ever seen. Part of a greater work, this chapter entitled The Perfect Armor, has all the information needed to cut, lace and harden leather. After reading this be sure to go see Cariadoc`s Miscellanyin its entirety.
