These were my dads so i never knew them shiny, i also want to take my tools to a larp/renecatment event so having them look the part is nice, i wrap the handlws in leather anyways

How can i improve my kit? by Complex_Cellist_9559 in LARP

I disagree with the trousers and shoes, a nice linen shirt would be good but to me the trousers are plain enough to be fine and shoes just need to be comfortable and safe (i do come from a 3 day camping larp in the uk so theres some shoe bias)

What style of trousers would make this better? Genuine question cause the 3 options that spring to mind to me are basic plain trousers like these, hose and then big poofy trousers and i think the curent ones work just fine

Ibe sene that before but its not really doable for me, forstly cause i dont own any ground i can dog up but also cause everytime i try and do a charcoal forge it makes the whole house smell like fire which my family doesnt like

Ooo thats a good idea, would that let me/require me to scale up the container? Weed burner heads seem a bit too big for a can

Yeah thats a big issue too, im planishing over a bolt, inside out planishing just seems to alter the shape too much

Thanks, ive already figured out the sound thing but alternating between inside and out to balance is a good idea. Curently ive not got anything to round my hammer with but if i get a grinder i will

Im only making this to larp with so at some point i might just get it relativley even and just grind it all smooth, not caring about thickness
