I recently had to start a buckle project over when the person I'm making them for noticed he had sent me the wrong model. I thought the melting buckles would look cool, so I decided to film the whole process.

The finished vambrace. It a tad loose on my arm, but other than that I'm thrilled with how it came out.

I am completely building one bracer before I make any pieces for the other side, just in case I discover some flaw in my design or process along the way. This is where that first one stands after this weekend. I was hoping to get into leather work by now, but I didn't make it.
