Make! Your OWN leather armor! In the Kitchen!

Courtesy of David Friedman, economist, SCA recreationist, and author, a recipe for making authentic cuirbouilli armor, which he describes as "the perfect armor", and not because he likes those pictures of Lidda in D&D 3rd.

Courbouilli using a simple beeswax process

A more authentic cuirbouilli recipe, that provides better protection.


I'm just providing these links as a public service,  in the off chance that [personal profile] racerxmachinaor any of her friends tires of the more restful costuming elements of knitting and sewing, and decides to try crafting something exciting in the kitchen.

OK:
a. you know I prefer designing armor to sewing
b. the Kyoshi warrior costume has vambraces

We are going to need a bigger kitchen and a casual attitude about our security deposit.

OK, the cuirboulli jock-cup is a bit much. Were I him, I'd trust more modern nad-defense technology.
