In my neverending quest to find ways to diy good larp gear on the cheap, I have discovered that it takes all of 5 minutes and a planishing stake (or ball hitch) to turn a thrift store quiche tin into a decent shield boss. $2 for 3 bosses. We'll see how mounting them goes.

Managed to rough out a few buckler blanks this weekend. Still need to finish planishing them, and then make sure they're actually circles! It was nice to practice my dishing skills. Officially one step closer to being able to consistently produce HEMA/SCA/Larp gear! #larp #SCA #HEMA #Bicolline

Sewed a skjoldehamn hood by a hand following this tutorial: www.google.com/amp/s/handcr... Worked amazingly, and now I am learning hand embroidery to spruce it up for larp!

As I hone my metalworking, leatherworking, and sewing skills, I have found myself waffling between working on my own larp kit, or making gifts for people I met/only see at larp. If I can dish a few bucklers over the weekend, I'll feel better #larp #larping #blacksmithing #bicolline #amtgard
