BUILD: Post-Apoc SHOULDER PAD / PAULDRON

[@Sion_Revan]

Had a bunch of torn and worn baseball caps, removed the fabric from the plastic brims and stacked them like dragon scales, punched holes to do a samurai armor cross stitch with paracord to join the pieces and a buckle at the top attaches it to a leather cross body strap. Epic shoulder costume piece that was easy to do and basically cost me nothing.

[@Recusant]

When you added the elastic armband, I kept thinking to myself "Why not just lace part of the boot upper around your bicep?" Then I realized you need to be able to easily put this thing on one-handed. Remember practicality in your builds, guys!

[@amedio9576]

I love the way you always specifically say that it "doesn't need to be red or leather"🤣🤣

[@joesantacruz5877]

This was absolute gold to find. See yall in the wastes!!!

[@Blackd0ve]

Appreciate all you do, love the videos and creativity. Pure inspiration my man.

[@staceyvidler3143]

I will be going to my first “Sheila Showdown” this year and the theme is “Apocalypse” your video was very informative! I am plus size and wondering if it will all fit the same but I am making this for sure! Thank you so much for the in depth tutorial! I will share once it’s done ☺️

[@hunt3rv221]

I love your style and effords that you put into your works tho i preffer S.T.A.L.K.E.R type equipment it seems more ergonomic and more protectiv in my view but man you have +100 respect from me

[@viciousaldante9474]

Is it a protection for skates (especially knees) for the part attached to the boot?

[@viniciussoares3840]

Today is my birthday and a Just wish you never stop with your Channel, im am Brazilian

[@evanwetherell3996]

Vinícius Soares yes very good

[@davidtibor3133]

Happy Birthday

[@davidtibor3133]

Got my first run on the Junk yard. What do you think of cutting leather from car seats?

[@DashboardCookies]

Should work just fine, I'd imagine. Anywhere you can find enough leather should be all right.

[@aubreyackermann8432]

He said in another video that he supports taking leather from old couches, so go for it. Great idea!

[@Zoie3x8]

i regularly (fully) skin all the tossed out couches i find, and i get lots of nice thin-grain leathers ! 8D

[@jeffr7752]

I totally never thought of that!

[@hottboy6712]

as long as nobody needs it anymore then you should be fine skinning furniture

[@ramseymenendez6194]

Awesome build! 🤘🖤🤘 I was thinking maybe if you laid the belt on top of it and poked the holes through the belt then the leather, You can make sure all the bolts line up 🤷‍♂️

[@TheEmpan85]

If i get the bolts and nuts and these kinda washers what size should i look around for?

[@RubberAckie]

I'm so happy knowing I can use bolts was worried I would have to learn to sew but bolting this together I am familiar with

[@iphone7149]

All your vids are great,, where is your studio? Funny, I was gonna ask you why you dont use rivets and I just heard you say why!

[@bunnyhop1392]

in what video do you show how to secure the bolts at the end, im curious about your technic

[@lecais_HEAVYMETAL]

good

[@stormnr2]

as a right handed person it is more useful to put the shoulders on the left side, right?

[@sol4r3clips38]

If you want realism, always the left side if you're only doing one. Since most people are right-handed, most melee attacks would come from there. Though, ultimately it doesn't really matter costume wise. Whichever feels most comfortable for you

[@unknown70000]

really put your awl into this one

[@Shyradder]

do you reckon you could do a similar thing with a leather jacket as the base instead of a belt? & could you get away with using less like perhaps just the knee pad

[@hottboy6712]

yeah i did that and it turned out just fine put the pad lower on the jacket tho and i put a foot ball belt strap under it

[@monkeyhighlord4412]

Very cool!

[@RockingPudding]

Looks really cool, but don't the bolts prod into your skin while wearing it?

[@DashboardCookies]

Notice how the bolts are facing OUT. He cuts them off. The inside is where the screw end goes, so there's no bolt to poke you.

[@techpixvo]

I´m trying to do a car tyre shoulder pad but the damned thing keeps moving all around. Like the belt moves slightly up or down. It´s not much but it bugs me. Did that ever happen to you?

[@creativeusernamehere8119]

Myself, I took apart an old hockey shoulder pad set(Just used one side) and it also kept popping out. You could try to make new straps and make it tight so it doesn't move? Or even out weight distribution, or block it with other gear?

[@GLiTcH_point]

I was just going to use a metal bowl and dent it then hot glue rope on it to tie it around me and maybe a belt

[@rbkommando5456]

I don't know why but it feels like my stuff isn't good enough

[@tamaskiszi7487]

"its not hot" well the view says otherwise

[@jonc4050]

Yuck he said "pimp". But really it's cool, gonna try this
