Your videos honestly inspire me to try leather working. I have been cosplaying for the past 3 years now and have always wanted to try my hand in leather working, and honestly, your videos help inspire me to try it. I'm excited to try it out
not that anyone watching this might know who Hordak is but this has a very Hordak armor thing going on with it. Nice work! don't know why youtube has never suggest this channel to me.
I agree! The style of armor which uses overlapping horizontal plates to articulate pieces is a late 16th century Italian Anime/Anima style. It affords GREAT mobility made even better by the flexibility of leather. :D Hordak's armor looks to be in this same style, but with a stylized tabard covering the front center section
That looks great! I got worried when you started riveting the top bits together, like, "... Did he forget this was going to be articulated?" But I shoulda known better than to doubt you! One thing I would appreciate is a guide to attaching non-leather materials to leather. Canvas and cloth primarily, but things like glass or plastic (for goggles, say, or like a phone holder, as much as these don't really seem to be the style you're going for on this channel) as well. I'm working on a pauldron, and my plan was to kind of sheath it around a cloth sleeve, but I'm struggling to come up with a good way to affix it due to my regretful decision to include a large lamellar section down the bicep. I was hoping to avoid sewing, but I fear it might be inevitable.
This was great!! like my comment in the last Video adressed: i am now super hyped About the next Video showing us how u made this worn and distressed look on the leather :D thanks alot
Greaves and tassets, please, to finish the set. As an amateur leather working enthusiast, I cannot tell you how excited each and every video in this series has made me. I look forward to these more than the release of the latest Marvel movie. I have no criticisms. Your videos are professional, concise, have excellent backing soundtracks, present all relevant information, and the purchased patterns that go with them are easy to print and use. My only request is for more. More armor. Please finish this set and, if possible, start a new one. Learning from these has been both fascinating and exciting. If you do want to introduce another armor set in the future, what would you think about upping the level to have people build a set with an intermediate difficulty level? I think after completing all these tutorials, your viewers may be able to take their crafting to the next level.
I'm from Russia and always watch your videos, what you do, just unique and very time-consuming, you are a master of his craft, it's just parasitic, I wish you every success, sincerely Sergey
as someone who has only been doing leather work for little over a year, all of your videos are a treasure trove of knowledge, even if its just watching you make something and not explaining the techniques. after I finish some of my simpler projects, I'm definitely going to try to tackle this one!
Another amazing pattern! Can't wait to see the distressing video. You could also use a light box to line up the patterns, or what I do is line them up by placing them on one of my windows on a sunny day while I tape them together. Would love to see greaves of some kind. Lots of cosplay uses different things that look like boots and you could attach the sabaton to them.
Lightbox and window is fine, a little more shuffling around to get it done though. Of course not everyone will have a larger layout space to do it my way so to each their own of course.
8:18 The Red Hills by Jo Wandrini for those few interested :) Samuel I love your videos even though I have no skill, equipment or intend to do it myself. thanks for sharing
id love to see all the fantasy styled parts togheter. i know that the paulders are blue and the bracers are green. but still its close to a Full upper body set now)
Maybe, but some of the pieces I only made one side since it was meant for demonstration. I figure when it's done I'll either have an option to build an entire suit using the patterns, or, focus that efforts instead on starting a new theme. Might leave that up to the community to decide. Thoughts?
@Nick van der Burg @Prince Armory Hearty and enthusiastic seconded! :) Keep up the stellar creation, Prince Armory - it inspires and generally RAWKS!!
Wow, after this video, I seriously wanna get into leatherworking!!! Great vid by the way, looks easy to follow and explains really well the steps and the reasons why you do it! Keep up the great tutorials, you just got yourself a new sub!
I use a cutting mat and a utility knife with a fresh blade for cutting, scissors are much harder to work with, just remember a fresh blade for every project. P.S. outstanding work.
Holy hell this was incredible. Love the work put into letting us know how things are done and why. Really appreciate it. Keep up the great work! I'll be coming back for more for sure.
Alright, the video just hit the 8 min mark and you just mentioned distressing and I am scratching my head now asking "So, then what was the big deal about find the imperfections earlier on the leather?" I mean, you did a great job and the step by step was absolutely clear and easy to understand and follow, but then this one part just stands up and says "HEY! HEY YOU! OVER HERE! COME! COME HIT ME!"
Project flow: Start with clean leather you can control the result of, make sure it is consistent. > Determine your cosmetic effects and proceed to decorate to your preferences > Distress, or not distress, according to preference. EZ Alternate plan: Determine up front you want a distressed piece, search for scraps and hides with extra brands and blemishes, use said areas to construct suit. also EZ. These vids demonstrate various methods for everyone, and in general, don't nit pick lol
There are many different types of blemishes that typically show up on cow hides, but they can generally be narrowed down to three categories: 1. blemishes that cause weak spots 2. blemishes that do not affect the leather's strength/flexibility 3. blemishes that cause hard spots. Identifying flaws in the hide and working around them will give you a much better experience working the leather, and will help your finished project look, feel, and be as good as it can be. If you want a specific style of weathering (like this breastplate) but then there is one 4x4 inch section that doesn't take dye the same way, it would break the cohesive look of the piece. There is nothing wrong with featuring the natural flaws of leather in your projects. Brands, scars, bug bites, etc can all add some really neat character, as long as they are in the right place at the right time.
I'm very interested in how you accomplished the distressed look on this armor set. Very much looking forward to that video when it is released. I'm planning to make a set of spaulders and bracers using the patterns I bought from your website. The are intended for a barbarian style of cosplay outfit that I think would benefit greatly from the distressed/worn look you put into this cuirass.
7:45 - I think something like Zentangles / doodles would be an AMAZING blend of crafts (or whatever it's called--I know they're super cringe, or very confusing at best, about intellectual property, but whatever). I'm sure I wouldn't be the first to do such a thing, but I can just imagine a beautiful mandala on a large piece of work, or maybe the sides of a helmet. OOPSIE DAISY! I think I accidentally just thought of my first project, LOL
Not financially a great idea for me now after dog and people health care costs, but once I get my feet back under me, I'm definitely planning on trying some of your stuff out.
Most of the time, in videos like these, I find the music distracting and contrary to the theme. Thank you for having music that isn’t annoying or too loud. Love your content, can’t wait for more.
Holy shit i dont know how this made it to my youtube recommendations but holy dang im glad it did. Enjoyed it so much that I didnt even realized i just watch a whole 20 minutes video. Subbbed
You are this talented. You just have to give it a try and carefully follow the steps! The nice thing about leathercraft is that it isn't about talent. It is about skill. Talent is some innate thing you are born with that you either have or you don't.... Skill on the other hand is something that you acquire through observation, asking questions, and attention to detail. If you watch the full tutorial series as you build, you will have all of the skills needed to make these awesome things laid out for you in an easily follow-able way.
Omfg I wanna make this so bad but I'd probably screw it up 😆😢 Edit: OH WAIT THERES PATTERNS YAY I'm saving the video for when I can afford leather lmao 😂
Jose De Jesus Reyes Castillo translation from spanish “wow it came out great and looks very comfortable, congratulations it’s incredible a excellent video “
Between you and Tony (Nitecore/Dieselpunk) I will eventually end up making a full set of BA leather armour for no real reason other than having the ability and understanding... I'm okay with that.
And that's when you wear it, and walk into starbucks and get straight black coffee, then leave (Bonus points for adjusting your voice to fit your attire)
I would love a list of tools and materials so I can do this myself. This video showed up as a random suggestion and I needed a new hobby. (Scuba diving living in Texas doesnt happen enough)
Question: If you were going to attach anything to the armor, How would you do it so that it looks right and is stable and sturdy? I was thinking of adding a a few small hardened foam skulls from a Halloween decoration
There are TONS of options for attaching adornments, but I find stitching/lacing and riveting to be the most secure options. To use your example of a foam skull, you can cut off the back 1/4th of the skull to create a flat surface, then use a heated poker to melt a tunnel from "ear to ear" on the skull. Then punch a couple of holes in the armor, lace/thread slips through and ties at the back. Super glue the cordage closed for extra security and you're rockin' and rollin'
I love these tutorials. I bought the suit template pack and I really can't wait to get started. The only question I have is how do you make the distressed look in the leather?
Its kind of mis matched, and only one piece of some parts for the sake of demonstration, so I don't know. Probably not as is. Will I make a full suit in a consistent theme? Maybe, but should I do that, or invest that time into the next theme?
I’m researching leatherworking and am new to all of this. Can you mix shades of the dyes like you can acrylic or oil paints, or does it have to be specially made already?
Thanks so much! I just started doing the leather work, and this is some very helpful stuff. Keep it up! Every time I see one of your videos, I get excited for the project I'm about to get into.
Ok, this solves my Knight of the Dragon breastplate issue! I was racking my brains last night, trying to figure out how to make something I can actually move & sit down in (I'm building most of it from craft foam). I have a feeling if I make the main sections out of craft foam, then cover that with individual leather scales, it'll be stiff enough to keep its shape, but not too heavy or bulky.
I agree I want to see how this is done maybe a short video to make sure us noobs don't mess it up? I am guessing you remove the full shoulder strap and cut it down like the side straps mark the holes and rivet it but I just want to make sure before I go for it.
I don't know if it really warrants a full video. Just align the shoulder over the shoulder, and either overlapping the shoulder strap, or butted to it, however you'd want wear it really, and use some something either a strap or leather tab. the main goal is to make it hinge from the top of the shoulder to allow for more movement. You'd use either that, or the chest strap, not both.
@@Princearmory That sound good I will give it a try once I finish the chest piece. I have made my own leg armor using the principles from the arm piece. It seems you would want to connect it to the check armor somehow to hold the weight of the leg armor?
@@Princearmory my issue when I tried this was the shoulder wouldn't stay in place correctly and would end up sliding back or forward on the chestpiece.
Watching your videos has inspired me to get into leatherwork, so thanks for that! I'm curious about the distressing technique on the leather surface. You mentioned you would cover it in another video but I can't find anything on it. I've been using lava rocks to create textures on my leather, but super curious about how a professional does it. Any ideas? Keep up the fantastic work and videos!!
Do you have any patterns for a more historical breastplate? The type that has a globe shape and cuts at the natural waist to allow for movement, instead of cutting at the hips which is restrictive.
I love your armours and tutorials !! :O I know it a bit of an odd question , but any chance of seeing a video or patterns for a simple female breastplate or corset " armour " ? :D
@@Princearmory Amazing !! :D I'm going to start leatherworking soon and your videos are the best !! I want to make my own LARP armours so it does't look like i'm wearing the same as everyone :D

good... no.. GREAT JOB
fantastic content
Thank you
Thats sick bro
Would love to see a video featuring this and this shoulders together
If you make both items, its best to make the spaulders without the chest strap and attach it up top. I might demonstrate that in a future video
You mentioned a video showing how you distressed the leather, I viewed a couple and cant find it, would you share the link please?

I love the fact that you made it articulated. A truly underused commodity although a big game changer!
Indeed!
can you show the full armor when you are finished?
Its kind of mis matched, and only one piece of some parts for the sake of demonstration, so I don't know. Probably not as is. Will I make a full suit in a consistent theme? Maybe, but should I do that, or invest that time into the next theme?

Man is cool, keep up the good work. Maybe something from World of Warcraft?
This gotta be the best looking piece of armor you have done so far (in the tutorial series, i mean)
Thank you
Yeah small blemishes and branding marks ok, but hand/foot sized holes or half size sides sold as whole sides full of holes happen too...
Amazing...I dont expect answer but what rivvets r they ....they look strong and not using a guide at the back of the pin when striking ;)
Ok, this solves my Knight of the Dragon breastplate issue!

You can use a kettlebell as a forming tool. I've used one for a few years and it works great

Bump! I was hoping to find a video too.
Do you have any patterns for a more historical breastplate? The type that has a globe shape and cuts at the natural waist to allow for movement, instead of cutting at the hips which is restrictive.
Another great video! I'd love to see some leg armor next.
That's definitely on the way
Strangely therapeutic
i already collected the dragons armor full set but it says lv 99 required but my level is 57
I’m definitely doing this one day - i’m already imposing enough to look at at 6 foot 6. Imagine wearing one of these bad boys as well!
Do it!
I love your armours and tutorials !! :O
I know it a bit of an odd question , but any chance of seeing a video or patterns for a simple female breastplate or corset " armour " ? :D
Yeah, should be within the next month or two depending on how things go on my end
@@Princearmory Amazing !! :D
I'm going to start leatherworking soon and your videos are the best !!
I want to make my own LARP armours so it does't look like i'm wearing the same as everyone :D
This looks great, I'm currently making an armor that uses a lot of red and black. Time to make myself a home made bust.
Good luck!
Great video! Loved it. Voice sounds like Joe Frank. So cool!
