Carving & cutting leather requires the most stamina from my hands, and there are specific knives & machines that can make the process both easier & safer. While I'm able to use a laser-engraver to make precise flat cuts, I still need to round-off corners, bevel edges, score crease lines, cut and shave long straps. The current goal would afford me a strap cutting machine, leather splitter, and an edge burnishing machine.
Hey there! I'm Chaos, I craft leather into articulated armor, arcane tomes, and other unique objects. I also design graphics, work on post-apocalyptic costumes, build outdoor structures, and haul a wartruck out West for Wasteland Weekend. My goal here is to show all that! I'd like to post current projects, new designs in the works, and maybe use the shop to sell small-batch items, or demo some DIY commissions. What does that mean? I'm still figuring it out! Goal-oriented or otherwise, all support will go towards the purchase of new tools & materials. It also allows me to focus on designing new things for you!

Working in any medium requires skill, materials, & discipline. And ideally, a sustainable income. Support takes many forms; this source motivates me to invest in the workshop's capabilities & future projects. Often times, that means upgrading hand tools or machines, allowing me to work faster (and safer). --- Current and Future Plans --- - Finish out existing commissions & take limited slots per month, to balance existing work and new projects, such as: - Design scalemail armor, in both leather and metal - Develop an armor pattern & tutorial, to see what that demand is like. - Resume mask making; I have several laying in pieces and/or boxes. I'd like to have at least one 'finished' by Halloween. --- List of Goals --- Goal [01] - Doverspike Rebrand Goal [02] - A Thermal Printer Goal [03] - Hardware Resupply Goal [04] - Leather Resupply > Goal [05] - Leather Splitter Goal [06] - PC Rebuild Goal [07] - Project Hexgrinder
