Introduction: Aragorn's Leather Vambraces From Lord of the Rings

Made to look like the ones seen on the big screen, these vambraces operating theater bracers prove to constitute tough and durable.(Though I harbor't actually tried them against a steel)

These are operating instructions for some leather vambraces that me and my brother Luke made. This is a replica of the armour that Aragorn took from Boromir after the battle of Amon Hen. We used a high-tec computer program to get the angles and curves to the letter.

Me and my brothers are Tolkien fans who made this for a costume to be worn to the first of The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey.

I used single shoulders(7-9 oz) which throw a desired thickness and the ability to represent tooled. Formerly finished, they are a confessedly piece of tribute. Quite sloshed actually. Though it is Important TO NOTE: THEY WERE DESIGNED TO Constitute Run-down Terminated PADS. Sean Bean wore them over a long arm shirt,ring mail AND vambrace pads!!! So if you don't have pads operating room piss pads, they will be HUGE. Particularly if the wearer has lean arms.

Attached to my instructable is a PDF download of the blueprint that we made.

Step 1: Top Piece

So the basic social organisation of the vambrace is two pieces. There is a whirligig piece of music and a bottom patch. The top piece is diamond-wrought and has the white tree with the feathers of sea birds and five stars to a higher place it.

After the leather has been scratch out, you wet the leather and wait for it to turn back to its original color. I use a spray nursing bottle. It is still moist, only not dry(wet leather is very sensitive). When this is finished, you can line the pattern on with the Style. Afterwards the pattern has been marked onto the leather aside the Style, you may commence tooling.

The apical piece nates cost tooled with a Swivel Knife some the stars, feathers and the semicircle above the corner. The Feathers are to be beveled around their edges with the Beveler, then shaded interior with the Pear tree Shader. The stars are to equal beveled.( Since the stars are pocket-sized, I had to use cardinal sizes of bevelers).When the stars are tooled, you want to score secure that you are delicate with them, and instrument lightly.

The tree and the small-scale blossoms on the tree branches are to be imprinted, merely not swivel trim back. The tree diagram can equal imprinted with a Pear Shader and Beveler. The Blossoms can be imprinted with the stylus.

The nighest line parallel to the border is to be pronounced with a Swivel Stab. The line synchronic to that one is to be marked with an Adjustable Groover. That is the line on which the top piece is to be seamed onto the bed put together. Afterward it has been tooled, the top off tack together must be formed. It is best to material body it on with the buttocks piece when it gets finished. For the top piece, I put-upon Tandy Leather Factory's Bison Brown leather die. The tree and the blossoms are to be painted silver.

Step 2: Bottom Piece

The bottom piece of the vambrace shows the shape of the top piece and has four strips happening which the straps are to be sewn.

The rear end piece of music has very little to perform on it. The line on the inside is only marked by a stencil. The limited vine insignias at the bottom of the vambrace are to be swivel cut of meat or imprinted. After the piece is tooled, it should be soaked and H-shaped. For the bottom, I used the Jessica Tandy Leather Factory's Dark Chocolate Brown leather exit. The small vine insignias are painted silver like the tree.

Step 3: Putting the Pieces Together

After you tool both pieces, you need to soak the vambraces in warm water and then mould them to your arm, and when they have dried,you then die them

Once some pieces have been completed, they can be stitched together. The straps on which the buckles are attached to are ¾ inch.The straps on the apical of the vambrace need to be stitched done both layers of leather. The ones on the bottom act up non. The straps can be made as long as you need them, merely remember to get a taper on the end.

(Admonish: wearing these will pass you the urge of running with pointy objects)
