Tanning leather faster in a cauldron

[sabinati]

maybe it would need to be dried on a mold?

...or on a captured enemy as torture?

*where do I get those images?*

Anyway, I like it: torso mold, foot molds, legging molds

and hand mold... lets get some useful gloves, eh

I've considered that. Hardened leather was always staple armor when I played D&D as a kid, so for that reason alone...
I don't mind boiled leather per se, but I'm not too keen on losing the time delay involved in making leather.

From that link, it appears they are taking finished leather and using boiling as an extra process to harden it. I realize that the OP suggests using boiling to decrease the time involved, but I was suggesting adding boiling as an extra third step to create armor-ready leather, not using boiling to decrease the total crafting time.

well origonally I skimmed through that article and didn't know boiled leather was harder, but now that it's apparent, that could be an added element. Having to make moulds to make leather armor would be cool
