    Greetings once again! So much more content to come, what would you like to see the most? More tutorials? Project builds and vlogs from custom works? Tips and guides? Other? Let me know!

      Prince Armory YES to all sir! I have been smithing for a few years and at some point I hope to make a armor set for myself. But I may change directions and attempt the leather path. Thank you for starting these tutorials, tips etc! So again yes to all! 😂

      I'd be really interested to see a tutorial on building a piece to cover a joint like a knee, elbow, or shoulder. Love your work!

    • @Princearmory

      Articulations for knees and elbows will be a more advanced topic I'll get to a little later on.

    Been a fan of your work for a long time, I think the first thing I saw was the full Ironman suit.
    Since then I've been getting hooked on leatherwork craft and videos. (Haven't made the leap to start just yet though.)
    Tutorials would be great to see, from beginner up to expert methods. Other things like a time-lapse of projects with narration talking about aspects of the build would be great to see too.

    Just went to my first Ren Fair in Muskogee, Ok. I've been wanting to get into leather crafting for a while and just recently bought some basic stuff. I was only going to pick up the skill as an aside to my woodworking and metal art. This will definitely be a skill I hone to much higher level than I had previously anticipated. Thanks for the video and inspiration. Subbed and liked sir. Well done.

    Do you use horse hair for your helmet plumes? How do you set it and from where do you source it? Also, fit is a problem for me. I’m always making something either too big or too small, never seems “just right.” Thank you!

    @fizeekpoaster 5 лет назад

    The quality of your work is outstanding. The attention to detail is admirable.
    I notice you support Tandy and I currently use them as well. However, do you buy your leather from them? My last hide of 8-10oz leather from them was from some random tannery in Brazil and the quality was quite average. I believe I got what I paid for though and as a beginner that was perfect for me. I wish they stocked stuff from Tanneries in America. And maybe they do in some locations. Being from Texas, I find it hard to believe that I can't find a more local source, despite our insane amount of cattle here.
    Any recommendations for purchasing high quality tooling leather?

    • @Princearmory
      @Princearmory  5 лет назад +1

      Well the advantage of Tandy (or any local supplier) is being able to walk in and pick out a hide you want. Learning which hide will work for what purpose is a developed skill but you don't have to worry too much about that in the beginning. You're not putting out a top shelf premium product straight out of the gate so relish the more affordable beginner time where its still fine to make mistakes you can learn from.

    • @Princearmory
      @Princearmory  5 лет назад

      Yeah I'll go into more depth in specific videos, like a video about tools, and a video about selecting leather and which to buy. But its not a super high priority just yet because I've got a lot of content to cover and there's a lot of basic info on these topics out there already. So the best value I can provide to my general audience is some initial encouragement to give it a go, and show how to make my style of armor because that won't even exist unless I make it.

It should be a great way to start crafting armour but I don't see any videos on youtube that are up to your quality. And can I use really thin leather for something? Can I just layer it? :-)
