Leather Spaulders for cosplay

Weirdly still all the same D&D session.

Don't let being in a city stop you! Things like leatherwork can be done easily indoors. Other types of building/crafting are made a ton easier with access to makerspaces. Makerspaces give you access to cool/big/potentially expensive equipment. Heck, a lot of libraries even have 3D printers.

As a long time tinkerer, the most important thing is getting started. Choose a small and achievable project and go from there. If you're into leather you could do something like a watch strap (NATO straps are super easy) or a wallet to get started. Make a sketch of what you want to make, put some dimensions on it, and go from there. Being able to visualize what you want to make and then being able to turn that into a plan is its own skill that you can rabbit hole. Or you can use existing designs/patterns and just make stuff.

Front facing camera so the effect is the same. And no not the name so much as me taking inspo from the Dnd sublass. I liked the idea of many many small(er) projects coming together for one particular costume. I've got a leather vambrace I've made as well but just dont have a good picture yet

Or exceptionally cowardly 😂

Its just more of the same things you'd be doing with a smaller project. The wax hardening was a new thing for me but wasn't hard at all. The guy I got the pattern from makes great videos

Oh no worries! The two straps going underneath my arms are buckled to another strap connected with a Chicago screw directly to the back of the spaulder. I didn't want to have a gorget or a cuirass as I'm going for more of a lightly armored spellcaster vibe but in a more complete set that's more of what it'd be attached to.
