Ah yes, should have figured that out myself... Guess I'm just not good at recognizing at typed symbols. =)

@SkallagrimNilsson It's the devil's horns heavy metal hand gesture. You look like a rocker, so that's prolly why he's signaling.

@TasamiOkami Agreed.

Dropping leather in boiling water will harden it for a mask will work, but the difference between hard but still in the original size and a shriveled mass can be a few seconds. You can soak the leather in water, then tie to a form and bake in an oven for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, then check it every 5 minutes until dry and hard. Too long it'll shrink and wrinkle, but you have lots of leeway. While it's cooking, it'll become plasticy before hardening, you can stretch into more shapes.

Well... trial and error I guess =P
I've got a square meter of leather incoming so plenty of leather to work with heh. Also, I can just pour hot water over it as well, it wont become as strong as when you boil it but it will still harden to hold its shape.

Boiled Leather, Test 2by dethb0y2,072 views
So this was boiled in just water and it got this hard? So if I were to make a mask I should boil it in just water, put it into shape and let it dry? ( perhaps use heat gun ).

As far as I know basically yes. The problem is that the leather shrinks and shrivels when boiling it so it might ruin the shape.

where is that axe from
dukesofhazzard123 3 years ago
It was custom made by a Czech blacksmith. I don't know who exactly it was though.
