This tutorial has been a huge help. Do you know where I could get the stamp you used to make the border on this spaulder? I've searched on tandy, but they dont seem to have that shape, and I'm very fond of it.

great work on this, I'm impressed with the amount of detail and experience you have in leather working.

haha why thank you! It's been improved since then. That piece was 3 years ago. I lack terribly to put up current work.

Hey not too shabby! good job. I need to upload the newest ones i've done haha

thanks; i improvised a bit, used an old belt instead of making a strap. I also used Chicago screws instead of rivets; much easier to install and put together. The only way anyone would be able to tell is if they flipped it over. But thank you for the tutorial!

No problem. I will be taking time this winter break between semesters to make more tutorials. Like I said, it's been a while since I put any new work up. that itself is almost 3 years old now haha gotten better since then. plus I have a huge commission for making a full outfit, so you'll see WIP of that and I might make parts of that tutorials.

thaks a lot for this tutorial, Im not exactly thinking about making a spaulder, but I might in the future, I just have one tiny and pretty stupid question... where do I buy leather? can I find it in Michael's? os a hardware store? pleease I need to know > <

The leather you will need is called vegetable tanned leather (the regular skin colored kind), it can be bought or ordered from Tandy Leather [link] The kind I would suggest to use would be 8-9oz.

aren't there any stores u can get leather, I can't buy stuff online. I know it sucks :/

yeah Tandy have actual stores. Look them up, they're all over the US.

It's tutorials like these that take my worry out of trying leather craft. I hope to do something like this soon, thanks for the tutorial....and that is one freaky pinecone. The ones around here don't look like that.

this is AWESOME! i'm gona try to make one of these!

Thank you for having this tutorial, it really took away a lot of my fears with making a spaulder. ='D Oh, but I was wondering if you have any tips with molding leather.
Happy spaulder making!
π: 0 β©: 1
soak it in a sink with HOT water for 15 mins or so. I find it molds easily and dries harder. It also depends on the thickness of the leather, the thinner the more mold-able.
Thanks for the comp, I'm putting more tutorials up soon for other similar projects

Let me tell you, I'm waiting to get a job to buy this. I have your etsy page book marked. I hope it will be available when I'm ready to get it! ( I found your da on that page.)

Oh sweet deal. Well it's not goin anywhere, and I actually have most of that pinecone left over to make another, if it's gone when you're ready, I can make you another. Just let me know.

oh thanks! I really hope your not busy by then. I'm finally getting work so we'll see! Thanks for responding

No problem. I actually just sold the spaulder today, so I will post another sale on etsy for the spaulder and I will wait for your measurements before I make another.
Just let me know ^_^

An awesome piece of artwork, and an awesome tutorial indeed. Might someday use it as a way to start off in the leatherworking business
Thanks! And keep up the good work!

Just one question.
You say 8/9 oz leather, but how thick is it (in mm)?
To order leather, I need to choose between different thickness's...
π: 0 β©: 1
hm, I'd say 3mm, 4 might be a little too thick and a little tougher to work with, but it would deff make good armour. You could always get 4mm and just mod the tutorial and upgrade some of the hardware to make it more heavy duty. If I was making this for battle readiness I would, though this is a functional piece.
Glad you like it, hope it explains enough for you. Feel free to ask any questions.
