@@Princearmory I've came up with a nice and consistent protocol to harden leather, better for shape retention, water protection, durability and it actually turns your leather armor into actual armor (most of the time people are wearing armor is at LARP events and the only thing you got to worry about in LARPs are the impact of the swords and having a nice hard shell to protect you makes a lot of a difference) hit me up, I'm willing to talk to you about it. Been making armor out of hardened leather for about 15 years now. the process will actually darken the dye but not the paint thoug soooo... but yeah you shared so much and allowed me to learn so much about tooling, if you'd like to add the cuir bouilli technique to your own set of skills I'd be more than willing to tell you about how I do it. ^^ By the way I've been a fan of what you do since the day I first saw your work, I'm just saying all this because I would like to see what you could actually come up with using properly hardened leather for your projects (it opens up a world of possibilities) all I would ask in return is a little shoutout ;-) or maybe a collab for your classes I don't know.
@@NortheR2301 Yes, I understand, I'm familiar with the process, I'm not trying to say I know everything, there's always more to learn, but for context I can say I'm familiar with quite a few ways to harden leather based on previous experiments. And when I started many years ago I thought it would be cool to use the thickest leather and make everything as hard as possible. But I evolved on this position. The reason I like acrylic hardening is it offers a nice balance of workability, flexibility, and firmness as well as being accessible and beginner friendly which is a theme for many of our tutorials. I do plan to make some tutorials around the various ways to harden leather to expand our students options though because I'm sure others would like to see what is possible. Thank you for your offer to make a lesson on this, as it turns out, I'm actually looking for guest instructors/lessons, so if you want to discuss it further you can email me through one of our websites.
How's everyone doing?

I would agree with you, there are many ways to make leather to whatever hardness you desire!
