This is an instructable going step by step through making a leather forearm
gauntlet for my costume this fall. It took many hours and was some hard work
but I love how it came out and couldn't be happier.
NOTE:I have very little experience with leather tooling so the professionals beaware of that going into this. I may have not done things the exact way a
professional would have, BUT I do love how it looked in the end either way.

9: Leather finish (optional)
10: Leather dye (also optional)
Step 2: Measuring and planning for the project
1. I measured in four places on my forearm so I knew how wide the gauntlet
had to be while I was riveting it together. I did however, make the gauntlet a
half inchsmallerthan the original measurements so when I put it on my
http://cdn.instructables.com/FEE/AZ81/I0C983BD/FEEAZ81I0C983BD.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FXR/H7SQ/I0C983AN/FXRH7SQI0C983AN.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FFQ/N04C/I0C9839L/FFQN04CI0C9839L.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
5/15
arm, the gauntlet would have flexing room, as you will see later on.
NOTE: The half inch smaller measuring was my personal choice, it may not
be yours depending on the direction you're going with the project.
2. After measuring my arm, I measured the size of the "dragon scale" which
you will be making manycopies of. The scale was 1" wide, 7/8" long
before taking a 1/2"to make the point, for a totalof 1 3/8" long.
3. I made 4 rivet holes on the upper section of the scale to put it all together,
they were about a 1/4 inch from the edges.
Step 3: Drawing out and cutting the scales
http://cdn.instructables.com/FHV/R6FY/I0C983CM/FHVR6FYI0C983CM.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FDN/U9C9/I0C983DL/FDNU9C9I0C983DL.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FL3/N2KI/I0C983CF/FL3N2KII0C983CF.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FL3/N2KI/I0C983CF/FL3N2KII0C983CF.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
6/15
I took the scale drawing from earlier and traces it with the leather stylusinto
the scrap leather. After cutting out the scale, next is to punch out each of
the four holes. I set the leather punch at a 4 so it would give just a little wiggle
room for the rivet before setting them.
NOTE: It may be easier on your hands and on the pressure you put on the
stylus to dampen the leather first. This makes the leather easier to cut and
punch. The only reason I did not dampen mine first was because I could see
the lines I drew betterwhile the leather was dry.
Step 4: Repeating the cut on the scales
http://cdn.instructables.com/FUT/8GWL/I0C983FY/FUT8GWLI0C983FY.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FUT/8GWL/I0C983FY/FUT8GWLI0C983FY.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
7/15
This first picture is what one looks like. Now not each one of mine were
perfect, but they need to be close so they line up right when you start riveting
them together. If some aren't cut just right, don't worry, they will visually get lost
in the finishing product.
NOTE:I used 132 scalesfor my project. Now if your forearm
measurements are smaller or larger then mine, you will have to adjust the
quantity of scales you need. Just something to keep in mind.
Step 5: Single strip for the end
http://cdn.instructables.com/FMW/IW3U/I0C983Z0/FMWIW3UI0C983Z0.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FJ6/AU96/I0FFCMRS/FJ6AU96I0FFCMRS.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FJ6/AU96/I0FFCMRS/FJ6AU96I0FFCMRS.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
8/15
Once you have made the gauntlet, the top holes in the scales (at the wrist) will
be visible and this strip can be used to make it all look uniform (as you will
see later.) Now, you will set this aside until the end, but you will want to cut
(and optionally stain) this piece while you're cutting and staining the scales.
Make sure to measure it so it will go around your wrist, mine
measured 6 3/4".
Step 6: Dampening, staining, and finishing the scales
(Optional)
http://cdn.instructables.com/FTH/KRVY/I0C983KN/FTHKRVYI0C983KN.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FJ1/D3AA/I0C983JT/FJ1D3AAI0C983JT.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/F3E/45W8/I0C983IB/F3E45W8I0C983IB.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FAI/TLQ1/I0C983HJ/FAITLQ1I0C983HJ.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FAI/TLQ1/I0C983HJ/FAITLQ1I0C983HJ.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
9/15
1. To make the dye (whatever color you choose) spread and stick, take a non-
chemical spongeand dampen the scales. If you don't have a sponge
then dampen a wash clothand go over your scales.
2. Next, put on some gloves or cover your hand with a plastic bag so you don't
get dye on your hand. Take your wool dauber and dunk it in the dye, then go
over all the scales. (if you don't have a wool dauber, use a paper towel)
3. After the leather is completely dry, you can go over it with the acrylic finish.
The finish is to protect it from rain and wear. It will help the leather last longer.
NOTE 1: In the third and fourth pictureof all the scales together being
dampened and stained, you will notice I did notdampen and stain them all
evenly. I did this on purposeas to not make everything so uniform and look
kind of factory made, if you will. I went for the homemade look.
NOTE 2: To keep the water and dye from getting on my work surface (which
was my coffee table) I laid all of the scales on paper towels with aluminum foilunderneath so none of the liquids would touch my table.
Step 7: Finally, putting the scales together.
http://cdn.instructables.com/FO4/4ZTG/I0C983XL/FO44ZTGI0C983XL.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/FUN/OXPY/I0C983V7/FUNOXPYI0C983V7.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
10/15
The first picture is an example of how the rivets will be set.
The second picture is how 2 rows of scales look.
I took my measuring tape and taped it to the table so I could keep constant
tabs on how wide and tall the gauntlet was becoming.This is the
most important stepbecause it determines the size of the gauntlet.
When layering the scales, you have to rememberthat you are starting
from the bottom and working your way to the top.The bottom is
the part of the forearm closest to the elbow, which is the widest.
Just keep an eye on the heights and width and you should be fine.NOTE: When doing this, I would snap on all the rivets in each row before
setting them and locking them into place to double check my measuring.
Step 8: Placing the leather strip at the wrist
http://cdn.instructables.com/FTW/OPF8/I0FFCQUD/FTWOPF8I0FFCQUD.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/F3L/L4S5/I0C98406/F3LL4S5I0C98406.LARGE.jpghttp://cdn.instructables.com/F3L/L4S5/I0C98406/F3LL4S5I0C98406.LARGE.jpg8/10/2019 Leather Dragon Scale Gauntlet
11/15
In the first picture, the way I found the measurements for the holes in the
leather strip was placing the leather strip underthe holes in the gauntlet andmarking where the punch needed to be used with the metal stylus. Attach
the strip to the gauntlet with rivets.
Step 9: Lacing the gauntlet
The holes left over on the sides of the scales that didn't have rivets places in
them I used to lace my gauntlet together. I used a Lock Lace which is typically
used in running shoes for the elasticity BUT you can use anything from leather
shoe laces, colored shoe laces, rope, or a sort of string to keep it held
together. I just slide my hand up in to put the gauntlet on.

Step 10: The finished product
This gauntlet was a lot of hard work and gave me sore hands but it was totally
worth it. It does look awesome!!!

Very nice! Must put this on my todo list. Thanks!!!
Great work, m'lord.
Thanks a lot hamsammy, I knight thee. :D
Hey! This is really nicely done, congrats on your success! Are you sure
these aren't vambraces though? I thought gauntlets also protected thefingers. Also, have you thought about lining the inside with something elseto protect your arms from the rivets?
Really nicely done, hope to see more from you!
They may be vambraces, I never thought of what qualifies it but Ihave always seen gauntlets cover fingers like a extra long glove, soyou're probably right. Also, I was just gonna wear long sleeves
under it for my costume. Thanks! I'm glad you like!
This looks awesome! Why did you decide to make the grain go upwardsinstead of the points going towards the hand?

Not to answer for the maker, but the reason I would have done it thesame way is because if something struck it in a sword-like fashionthis pattern will protect the underlying rivets. Facing the "scales" theother direction would basically funnel the blade between the scales.
Kakashinatosi, great answer, that pretty much sums it up.
Honestly Mielameri, everyone else does it going towards the hand. Ijust wanted to be different and I actually really like it that way.
That looks so cool! Also like it was LOT of work, well done on thededication it definitely paid off! Thanks for sharing!
I couldn't tell you how many hours it took to make but I know it wasmany. I wanted to make something more difficult and go over thetop.
