Such a great job, I really love the buckle plate. I have learnt a lot from this one. Keep it up
Thanks a bunch!
Beautiful work!
Thank you very much!
this turned out beautifullly! I ended up sending this to my household since I was just in awe of how beautiful it was (and tempted to figure out leather so I could make a pretty belt myself)
Thank you very much and good luck, I would love you to send me pictures of those attempts on facebook.com/LatelierDeLaSentinelle , or in an answer video, if you feel like it, it's very gratifying to see that ones work is useful :)
This is such a great video; I am recommending this to new members of our reenactment group
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it a lot !
Great video! It's nice to see more period methods shown for people. I was surprised to see you bath it in so much dye, but it does allow dying and tooling in one step, because the leather is already wet with dye. I presume there were no problems with dye coming out of the back of the leather, or with the leather becoming dry and stiff from so much dye?
This video was very well made with great lighting, sound etc. Congrats and thank you.
Actually for the dye, yes, it tends to bleed out, whatever I tried, if you put something wet on the leather, it tends to transfer some of the pigments, be it avec plunging it, once, twice, after applying it with a brush or else, I didn't find a solution.
If I wanted to put water on it, to tool it, I would have to do it before dying, and then I would have waited for it to dry before dying, otherwise the dye wouldn't have taken that well, of after dying, and I would have had to wait for the dye to dry, otherwise the water would have left horrible marks in the dye after taking parts of it out, I don't recommend it.
It would probably have been better to do one or the other, I guess, but the result was good. Anyway you need to wait until dry to put any kind of grease for obvious reasons.
I dyed it so much to obtain a very vivid red, it's the best way as far as I know. To avoid bleeding of the colour, you could sew a linen backing to the belt.
The greasing and polishing of the belt, with paper towels for exemple, can remove quite a bit of the excess colour.
Last thing to note, the colour of your belt while wet is more vivid than dry, and when dry less vivid than with grease. Therefore, there is always a bit of experience needed to adapt the quantity of dye you want.
I'm happy you liked the vidéo, I hope this commentary will be helpful.
Great job :)
Thank you! Cheers!
I know its been a while since this video has been made but i have been wondering how thick the brass should be. Also; thanks for this great video!
In my case the brass was a mm thick, but I think it could be thinner, probably easier to work with
A bit too late, but Id like to know the thicknesses of the leather and brass sheet you used. Always helpful to put things into context :D
No problems, I think the leather was 3mm thick and the brass 1mm. Context is king
@@LAtelierdelaSentinelle thanks for the reply :D
Wow, nice movie and great work! Will you try natural dyeing?
Yes I will, but it takes a lot of time to make the research, and i need more information than I have at the moment to make something interesting.
@@LAtelierdelaSentinelle Can give you something for red color, green I start trying in the next weeks
I would love that, feel free to contact me on my Facebook page, I don't get all notifications from my RUclips channel
Hello, great video! I wasj ust wondering what the tool you used for making the embossing on the belt was called the counter punch? Im trying to find it online but none of my searching yielded any results.
I made it myself, I will soon make a video on how to do that, it's really simple and cheap ;)
@@LAtelierdelaSentinelle thanks! I was going crazy trying to find it
@@LAtelierdelaSentinelle One more question, how thick was the brass that you used for this?
In this case a mm, sorry I didn't answer earlier ;)
pourquoi tu parle en anglais ? xD
pour toucher une audience plus grande. quand je trouverais le temps je ferais des soustitres.
