https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks en-us I recently tried my hand at some scabbards for a couple of my swords. They are not an easy project, but not as bad as I thought they would be. http://www.yeoldegaffers.com/project_scabbard.asp Mon, 29 Jan 2018 15:53:03 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=21204 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=21204 This is a step-by-st ep instructio n guide to making a leather scabbard, using the known tools and techniques of the Medieval English leather worker. Basic leatherwor king knowledge is assumed, although some of the techniques may be new to the modern leatherwor ker. http://www.jacksparrowcostuming.com/images/sccabards1.pdf Sun, 22 Jul 2012 20:43:47 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=20947 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=20947 A blog post with photos of leather items found on the Mary Rose (which sank in 1545), including bracers, a mitten, an arrow-spac er, leather bottles and buckets, shoes and boots, scabbards, and pouches. http://leatherworkingreverend.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/mary-rose-leather-gallery/ Thu, 16 Dec 2010 15:19:57 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=20612 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=20612 The majority of finds for seax-scabbards show the widely spaced marks from riveting holes rather than stitching holes. These scabbards were edged with a strip of metal, the sharp edge of the blade facing towards the metal edge. And if you have ever accidentally cut through the stitching of a sewn-up scabbard it immediately makes sense. A metal-binding also stiffens the scabbard which again makes a lot of sense if you wear it suspended horizontally from your belt and move about a lot âEur“ no accidental stabs in the belly or similar. The following instructions describe how I make such scabbards, using totally unauthentic techniques, but the result looks right. http://www.florilegium.org/files/COMBAT/Scabbard-Mkng-art.html Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:48:48 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=15718 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=15718 The original proposal for the research and publicatio n of the large assemblage of leather artefacts and leatherwor king evidence from four sites in Anglo-Scan dinavian and medieval York specified that the work be undertaken in two distinct stages: Stage 1: completion of the archive and preparatio n of a detailed publicatio n synopsis. Stage 2: analysis, research and publicatio n. The initial data gathering and quantifica tion has been successful ly completed and this document represents the detailed publicatio n synopsis, work programme and timetable necessary for the completion of stage 2. http://www.yorkarchaeology.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/AY17-16-Leather-and-leatherworking.pdf Mon, 16 Jul 2007 12:59:17 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=15270 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=15270
