So I had a thought that I'd like to run by you all.
We do a lot of armor work with metal, but there are only a couple of us who have any gear that is leather or plastic, and I don't know if we have much loaner gear that is either. What if we had an armor workshop where we all learned how to harden leather and shape plastic to make armor without metal? At the very least I think it would be a nice skill to have. Thoughts?

As the guy who always asks "can I make it out of leather?", I'd definitely be in.
