What's the oz of thickness you have there? Looking for 3/16"-1/4" veg hide. Going to start making my own hybrid holsters. Ill be using veg tanned. Or start with hide and tan myself possibly. The piece your using is exactly the thickness I'm looking for. Thanks.

How about motorcycle or knife armour?

Well you are soaking that leather sling some soaping wash your hands and face

It's only took me 7 years to watch your video I have to wind my tablet up is hard work anyway just going to buy some candles from AliExpress just that time of the year anyway off your pop😂

Do you know the Indians used to use that years ago before our time used to wrap people in leather then dip them in the ocean put them out in the sun to dry that's where the saying come from hang it out to dry just a little bit of history they used it as a form of torture

I’M BATMAN!!!!!!!!!

I like how you gave the belly portion of the breastplate abs.

I love the bracers. Would you have a link for the design? I'm making a Batman Ronin and these bracers would be amazing.

ow man, could you tell me an online store where i can buy these bracers already made? I live in Brazil and I'm looking for one that sells internationally but I can't find it

How about a video on how to harden leather in dept?

How would I go about getting a pattern to make my own armor

Anyone know what this guys name is?

way cool

How do i get in touch with you sir?

Oooh. I can think of a number of articles of clothing I want to make out of leather.

Is this template available to purchase somewhere?

Why not use inflatable lift bags or very thick rubber bladder covered in canvas under high pressure inside your metal helmet form.you could also purchase used fire helmet head forms its just the skull cap but they work but youll need a male and female set of helmet forms set the female into a hydraulic press and the male onto the ram then hand pump it closed

If you wanted to paint the leather would you do before or after the hardening?

can tan leather paint covers water stain?btw..the color of my boots is light brown(timberland boots)

Glad you started making videos again. I like them and your technique. I have been thinking of making a leather vest out if 4 to 5 ounce distressed, crushed veg tanned leather. As a sort of protective urban armor. With all these drug addicted zombies walking around now-a-days it might come in handy. At the very least it will stop mosquitos from biting my back. Lol.

Ok so just how hard does water curing ACTUALLY make the leather? It seems to me that it's still very soft with respect to actually being struck with a weapon. Would you be confident enough in the hardness of this process to wear it while facing a real opponent with a bow, dagger, axe, or sword that is the real thing not a movie prop?

It’s a shame you’re not keeping up with your channel. It seems that leather is becoming popular again.

Beautiful !

Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.

My experience of water hardening leather us as follows.... using warm water helps release any of the oils or waxes used during the manufacturing process. If you conduct an experiment by soaking the leather, work one section of that leather hard by compressing and/or twisting it and being gentle with the other part... the worked section will be noticeably harder. The fibres are compressed whilst wet which stiffens the leather. You get a similar stiffening if you roll the leather whilst it is wet and flat. If you wet form a mask you will notice the difference between the bends and the flats

Hey man, I want you to know that you are an inspiration to me. From your original line of fantasy leather armor to your youtube page, you are a badass!!! Thank you for inspiring me to get into leather craft -- Fivel of The High Spires

Excellent videos, however the sound quality should be improved! I don’t know who’s operating the camera but they are too noisy, I keep hearing this squeaky sound, a major distraction for my a.d.d. and ocd. I hope you will fix this sometime. Apart from that most excellent content!

Great job can't wait for more

Hi. I want to buy the template/pattern for the armor parts.

Hi. Can I buy the patter for this?

What do you think of using bucks on your bracer

If you want your hardened leather tooled, would you do that before or after the hardening?

I still have my jungle boots. I only kept my jump boots shiny for promotional purposes.

Imagine robbing this nigga,then you hear a speaker come on saying *Final round FIGHT* And he walks out with this💀

but the gorget belongs under the breast plate...

I love your Armour. Is it possible to get pdf patterns from you?

Please make a mempo tutorial video!!!

Hey! This is fantastic! I just watched all your videos today. I was really hoping you have a store or something i could purchase some patterns off of? Im looking to make my own helmet. I really liked the red samurai one you have featured in a thumbnail. I know its mostly by the shape of ones head but i was thinking i could electronically scale the pattern to print for my own measurements. Anyways! Hope to hear from ya keep making videos please!!

do you set it in the sun or heat of any kind, thanks

The feathering is pretty awesome, very unique.

Make a full tutorial soon, please!

Absolutely breathtaking! Very innovative and uncommon...perfect fit too... Fantastic job

Build video build video nex next next please please please....🤯😱👍🙏

It's been to long.... great looking armor 👍

Love how after putting shiny eyelets on it, he then darkens part of the inside for stealthiness followed by a sheen to make it shiny. Interesting stealth technique.

Thanks for the video. Is there any way of hardening leather with a high oil content? Or can you only harden particular kinds of leather?

I will use this to build a batman suit

Is it possible to have this made by you still?

How did you learn this?
