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've been following your armor designs on Facebook for a while and I'm so glad you've decided to start a RUclips channel. I look forward to more of your videos
Love your work and tutorials, I'd say while drooling over tools is fun and makes you look forward to your next purchase the big money sink in the beginning is good quality leather to practice and work with
I love what you're doing, could you ever make a longer vid about how you came up with the concept, and the design planing. I am a beginner at this but love what I am seeing. thank you for your time.
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.
You wouldn't believe how many tutorial videos I've watched on youtube and your videos are absolutely the best thing I've ever seen as well as your work.
i use to see your videos to learn, i have being working with leather the most of my life (family bussines, factory no hand made) but i found on you a good master to add neew tecnics to my own work, i have to tell you, this is maybe the best video i saw from you and i have to say thank you, you are an example for a lot of people like me and obviously, a good master, coping some of yours desings i could put on practise a lot of new tecnics and new proyect all by hand made, wich i love, thank you again (sorry for my english)
I have admired your work for years. Your armor is part of the reason I got into leatherwork. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am eager to learn more from a master craftsman! 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!
Thank you for such a great video.... As for future versions..... How to reproduce consistently a specific color or dye of a leather piece and how to seal it properly, is a huge interest for myself....
All Hail Goblin Prince Azmal, I have been following your work for many years , it it has gone form absolutely awesome to so incredibly outstanding, there are few words to describe the complexity and beauty they represent. you have peaked my interest and will be attempting to do the helmet, I can guarantee it will not be as nice as yours but it will be a start to a long and satisfying hobby, Thank you.
I wish I had gotten into leather craft when I was young ,I'm 51 now and I started 10 years ago with knife sheaths and gun holster ,now I'm ready to try armour,
awesome video!! i was wondering with veg tan leather.. do you always etch and stamp before dyeing the leather.. or can you dye the leather first.. does it really matter? Thanks!
I consider myself a maker using many different mediums for crafting ...but I have just fallen in love with leather working. I've only just seen your videos and I cant wait to start my first project. Any suggestions for a good starter project?
I love your work and i look forward to seeing your stuff. Pls keep this going A minor suggestion for future vids is to show the tools that you are talking about. It will help ppl identify the tool you are talking about.
I did edit the video to match the dialogue. I do not have video of every tool I have used in the past however so I had to improvise slightly and did list relevant tools in the description. If I missed anything just ask and I'll look it up.
You mentioned at 1:20 ish that you might do a video about getting started with leather on a tight budget if there was interest. I'd definitely be interested as well! I'd love to craft some of these pieces but have to budget very carefully.
I was surprised to find that there’s a tandy leather store really close to where I live! I’m definitely going to go there soon so I can get myself some tools to start with! I’m a cosplayer, and I’ve been really interested in making more realistic armour, so leatherwork seems like it would be way more fun and bring a way nicer end product than foam! Anyway, this is a very helpful video, thank you!
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?
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.
How do you go about finding a leatherworking storefront? I'm really interested in getting started but I'm not very trusting of online stores, any help would be greatly appreciated
Go to google and type something like 'Leathercraft stores near me' If you like the store, dont be afraid of their online shop if the location isn't convenient.
I drive 45min away to my nearest Tandy leather supplier in Round Rock Tx. Its well worth it plus I get to eat at one of my favorite restaurants near by. Etsy has some nice leather goods.
Kits are a good way to get started. They are geared to beginners and often can be completed with very basic tools. Shipping costs are low or even free.
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.
Hello! Beautiful work and really nice and inspirational video. If I can suggest something I would like to see on youtube it would be a tutorial on how to make nice and comfortable leather bracers. Maybe some tips for design and decorating. 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? :-) Looking forward to seeing your next videos!
Great job yet again. I feel like you may have pegged me at the end. Watched many videos but haven't started yet. The tool list is a big help. Has your interest ever taken you into the tanning department? Or you more just finished product? Either way thumbs up, can't wait for more.

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!
Articulations for knees and elbows will be a more advanced topic I'll get to a little later on.
Definitely tutorials with patterns. The low price of a tutorial pattern is totally what will help me overcome fear of failure.
Definitely would like to see tutorials and work in progress videos for whatever builds you're working on!
I’m just getting started with leatherworking and after drooling over what you make it’s awesome to find you doing tutorials.
Thanks!
I've been following your armor designs on Facebook for a while and I'm so glad you've decided to start a RUclips channel. I look forward to more of your videos
Thanks, I've got lots planned!
OH BOY, is this a new "Clickspring" channel for me??? very very cool. Thanks RUclips suggestions for finally getting things right!
Thank you!
I make a lot of fantasy battle ready blades so I can’t wait to start making this sick armor
Very cool!
Wow, that’s a radical helmet/mask, it was beautifully designed... That makes me want to get my tools back out and go for it...
Go for it!
Wow, unbelievable. Absolutely amazing work!
Love your work and tutorials, I'd say while drooling over tools is fun and makes you look forward to your next purchase the big money sink in the beginning is good quality leather to practice and work with
Well I can see where I'll be spending my time for the foreseeable future. Amazing work!
THANK YOU SO MUCH @prince Armory. My bud Bjorn is on his way to your shop now!
Yep, any day now!
Great video! Please, keep them coming. I have been looking for a while and your videos and channel are by far the most informative in my opinion.
Thank you!
I love what you're doing, could you ever make a longer vid about how you came up with the concept, and the design planing. I am a beginner at this but love what I am seeing. thank you for your time.
I would love to see a video on working with basic tools, those really inspire me and many other beginners!
The tutorials I'm doing are actually using very basic tools
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.

Awesome!!! Thanks for introducing new crafters to leather work as it like a lot these historic trades and techniques are disappearing.
I am truly looking forward to seeing your next adventure in making armor! Your work is just amazing!
There are a lot of cool projects coming up!
Amazing! Project builds and tutorials for sure.
Definitely!
Unreal brother, beautiful work
Your video hits the nail dead on the head my man, it's full of golden info and clears up a lot of the hobby myths👌
Awesome, thanks!
You wouldn't believe how many tutorial videos I've watched on youtube and your videos are absolutely the best thing I've ever seen as well as your work.
Can you please make a video of most important tools for a starter and the uses of those
i use to see your videos to learn, i have being working with leather the most of my life (family bussines, factory no hand made) but i found on you a good master to add neew tecnics to my own work, i have to tell you, this is maybe the best video i saw from you and i have to say thank you, you are an example for a lot of people like me and obviously, a good master, coping some of yours desings i could put on practise a lot of new tecnics and new proyect all by hand made, wich i love, thank you again (sorry for my english)
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for the confidence to just freaking DO it 😍🖤
All these videos are amazing
As if drooling over your work wasnt enough.. your intro/outro clip is god damned gorgeous as well!
Thank you!
You have an amazing talent mate

Bought my first leather and tool after watching your last one!! just waiting on shipment then ready to craft!
Awesome, best of luck on your journey!
You have so many imagine things! Big respect!
Could you make some tutorials on swivel knives exercises. Just a thought.
GONA BE A LEVEL 200 PARAGON IN NO TIME WITH THIS!!!
Просто невероятные работы)) с большим удовольствием смотрю за Вашим творчеством))
I know I'm going to love ur channel, don't leave lol
Just getting started!
Could you do a video of what you would buy for say £500. As a starter budget. That's kinda my budget. Thank you for the inspiration. Incredible work.
I have my materials and im only starting with simple projects, but soon i will be able to make my very own set of leather armor
Sounds like you're off to a good start, Congrats!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Your work is amazing and helpful. I love seeing videos for beginners because we can all learn something new 💜
Thank you!
Thank you for such a great video.... As for future versions..... How to reproduce consistently a specific color or dye of a leather piece and how to seal it properly, is a huge interest for myself....
Yeah I can expand upon that at some point.
Wow these are beautiful!! So inspiring, thank you for sharing
a video on how you do the horns would be great
More custom work, lol! You are an amazing leatherworker (leather-smith) and artist! Thank you 😊
Please put up a pattern for the helmet at 6:33 in this video. I would really love to make that one
All Hail Goblin Prince Azmal, I have been following your work for many years , it it has gone form absolutely awesome to so incredibly outstanding, there are few words to describe the complexity and beauty they represent. you have peaked my interest and will be attempting to do the helmet, I can guarantee it will not be as nice as yours but it will be a start to a long and satisfying hobby, Thank you.
Thanks for sticking with me about 15 years lol
Man!!! Your job is amazing!
You're not wrong!
What did you use to dye and finish the helmet shown towards the end of the video? It's gorgeous.
Man Oh Man !! you have some inconceivable skill there good sr keep it up and thanks for giving novices like me a starting point it's much appreciated.
Much more coming soon!
You're work is absolutley amazing. Keep it up. Cant wait to see what you do next.
I wish I had gotten into leather craft when I was young ,I'm 51 now and I started 10 years ago with knife sheaths and gun holster ,now I'm ready to try armour,
haha nice, glad to see you giving it a go, hope you enjoy it!
That's tandys Fort worth store. I go there frequently
Great job, you are really an artist, congrats!
Absolutely beautiful! I must have that pattern! Can this technique be carried over to HD (high density) foam or EVA foam? 🤔
awesome video!! i was wondering with veg tan leather.. do you always etch and stamp before dyeing the leather.. or can you dye the leather first.. does it really matter? Thanks!
The pride that you put into your projects really shows :) I cant wait to follow the rest of your videos as they come :)
Much more to come!
love your craft the others.
Do they make a table mounted shear for cutting leather like they have for cutting sheet metal?
I've been Leatherworking for a few years, but I've never made armor. Really looking forward to your future videos.
Hope you'll give it a shot!
@@Princearmory I definitely will be. I downloaded the fantasy helmet pattern and I am going to give that a go.
HOLY CRAFT!!!!
Totally amazing. Definitely your stuff has inspired me to try my hand at it. Thank you for the inspiration and please keep making videos!
Awesome!
Thanks!
absolutely amazing...nothing short of brilliant.
Will this helmet be available on your website 🤔☺️
Magnifique et incroyable travail. Bravo 👍
I consider myself a maker using many different mediums for crafting ...but I have just fallen in love with leather working. I've only just seen your videos and I cant wait to start my first project. Any suggestions for a good starter project?
Thanks for the video leather sensei!
Hai!
Wooow! Leatherworking can be really amazing, thank you for the video and I would love to see some really basic tutorials.
I love your work and i look forward to seeing your stuff. Pls keep this going
A minor suggestion for future vids is to show the tools that you are talking about. It will help ppl identify the tool you are talking about.
I did edit the video to match the dialogue. I do not have video of every tool I have used in the past however so I had to improvise slightly and did list relevant tools in the description. If I missed anything just ask and I'll look it up.
@@Princearmory Don't worry to much, still love your work
Which is the best way to store the veg tanned?
Thank you for this, it was very informative. I especially loved seeing some of the armor sets you've made -- so impressive!
I would love to see how to make something with basic inexpensive tools.
If we get a few more requests for this I can see about doing a vid like this using tools any typical person might already have.
Love your channel you make this type of thing exciting.
Very cool stuff! Subbed!
Amazing friend i like the armor
Ry
Waiting on your next tutorial.
Just a few more days most likely!
Did you make the video about doing it on a budget
Just to let you know, I'm looking forward to a low budget tutorial. I'm really thinking about starting this summer. Just don't have the money :p
It doesn't cost a lot to get started.
You mentioned at 1:20 ish that you might do a video about getting started with leather on a tight budget if there was interest. I'd definitely be interested as well! I'd love to craft some of these pieces but have to budget very carefully.
Excellent. New subscriber lovin' your work & channel
Great to have you!
thank you for this
That was awesome

Anyway, this is a very helpful video, thank you!
Love the tutorials... My question would be what do you use to print your patterns?
The patterns I will be sharing with everyone can be printed on standard printer paper
Your link to tandys isnt working, just wanted to let you know in case it helps
I would love to know how you did the eye insets
Tandy is awesome
Very goooooood
Can you make a Wolf helmet?
Or watch this guy be dope and teach you a lot of solid tutorials!
How do I get helmet pattern.My computer won't let me access it here

I will give it a try though I may have to go quite the ways out due to living in a rather rural city in PA, but thank you for the advice.

Maybe it would be a good idea to explain where to get leather/tools and about the average price for them?

That mask is sick as hell!
Do leather armor really protect from knife/sword. It seams really easy to cut..

The bracer video ant pattern will be up within a few days actually.
@@Princearmory Awesome :-)
thank you
wow, impressive...
Wow, beautyfull Cool job :D Love it . New sub here;) Love and joy for you and yours from Portugal
Punches from Harbor Freight are cheap and countertop shops will often give you a piece of sink cutout.
Hello its possible buy this pattern
Great job yet again. I feel like you may have pegged me at the end.
Watched many videos but haven't started yet.
The tool list is a big help.
Has your interest ever taken you into the tanning department?
Or you more just finished product?
Either way thumbs up, can't wait for more.
haha thanks.
