Making Leather Armor - Elbows

This is my first video on how to make leather armour, it deals specifically with elbows, and a pattern I use when making armor for sport fighters in the Society for Creative Anachronism. You can easily translate this technique directly to costumes and cosplay without the need for wax hardening, instead using a bit of water forming to get your shape.

Wax hardening is not a period technique, but one I employ to quickly and safely produce armor that helps protect against blunt force trauma. Enjoy!
