Can Anyone Make These? - Leather Armor Armor / Vambraces

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

March was a busy month for me, sorry I didn't get more videos out to you guys. Throw me some ideas for the next one.

[@glen1arthur]

also an archer glove with the rest of my suggestion. ps we are really enjoying your videos. : )

[@Bifocal_Burrito]

This was fantastic, I would love to see a belt frog for attatching a scabbard/sheath to. There are so many parts to it, it would be nice to see it done by someone who knows whats they are doing.

[@glen1arthur]

@@Bifocal_Burrito That is a cool idea too.

[@metisdeer8760]

It would be nice to see you do something big for a multi-part video series like maybe some greaves, a bag, or a chestpiece etc... but something like where you get your inspiration for your serpents and knotwork would also be neat. What about it makes it interesting, what keeps bringing you back and inspires you, that kind of stuff... It also allows us, the viewers to get to know you - the creator - a little better. I'd also love to see maybe like a "picking leather for projects" type video (You mentioned black carving leather? Yes please, if it's a thing!).

[@louisphildurand]

I just finished a wood core wrapped scabbard and it was a lot of trials and errors. In the end it came up pretty good (just like all your projects.) Possible you want to show a version of that project. Mine was for an English mortuary ceremonial sword (looks a lot like a musketeer sword.)

[@jtridley1234]

your absolutely right about stropping a ceramic blade. leather leaves a gluey residue on the blade which causes it to drag. that has to be cleaned off regularly. for best performance

[@niswii]

You’ve inspired me to make some modified bite armor with this simple thorough design and tutorial. Thank you bröder.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Awesome. :)

[@alessandrocernuzzi]

I've got few burnishing pieces for my dremel, they make the job SO.MUCH.FASTER. Saves lots of time.

[@mattcourty6322]

I really gotta learn that snap trick! Nice job on those!

[@animedrawings07]

IKR!!! , lol I wish

[@FrigginBoomToys]

I tried it and accidentally wiped out half the life in the universe

[@markcowan3366]

If you hit the edges with some sand paper after you bevel and before you burnish, it really helps get those edges nice and slick. the smoother you can get them before you burnish the better your edges will be.

[@jean-marclabonte2844]

Nice Job once again. I think my son does the same snap trick with the dirty clothes in his room. Amazing!! Thanks for posting the build.

[@dragonraider1108]

Amazing! I learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work so we can learn more on leathercraft.

[@prettynoose8497]

Ready for when the next Amon Amarth concert comes to town!!

[@triniblunt9482]

Dang 45k sub man i was here before you even had 2k-3k. just to show that passion and hard work pays off

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Just getting started. :)

[@yugioh5057]

I'm just starting with leather but I love it already and learning lots from your videos 😎👍 Greets from Germany

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I love Germany, even considered moving there.

[@yugioh5057]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop Germany has some really nice places. Sadly we have this lock down going on... 🙈 I'm going to try to make some of your leather Projekts. They look really awesome! Could I ask you some questions about leather Diy and antique finish?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

@@yugioh5057 Always, feel free to email me [e-mail]

[@eco.3977]

How have I been watching KZbin videos for 6 hours and not noticed a new video?! My logic brain: "because you refuse to turn on notifications?"

[@cweiser108]

Yass! These are just beautiful! Can't wait to try my hand at these later, after I finish up my latest projects of course!

[@GarageKnight]

Cool design and great tutorial 👍

[@DonWRII]

loving all of your videos so far, I noticed in this one when using that rivet setter/punch that the striking surface was mushroomed, if you haven't cleaned that up yet, I hope you do. the little mushrooming is work hardened and if/when it breaks off can fly and cut you, this is more important with bigger punches for driving bearings etc. as you're probably not striking this punch very hard in comparison, but I imagine with finer work like this, your face is probably close to the work as well, and probably not wearing safety glasses. Keep making amazing videos please and thank you!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

3rd person to mention this I should fix it or replace it. Thanks

[@aryahjudahisrael5738]

Good evening. Do you make custom war-bands for others. If so I would like to place an order. Please let me know thank you

[@tcx1208]

Please do a video on how to make a leather bound book Xx

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I do have one. Want a different style?

[@tcx1208]

Dark Horse Workshop yassss 😍

[@IceMaverick1986]

I really loved this video thank you! :) Wonderful work. I plan on checking your Etsy out!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ianfarvan9881]

I have a question... how do you add fur to the edges?

[@CraigH999]

That copy/paste technique should make you billions! BILLIONS! :^) - can I assume you didn't dye the flesh side b/c sweat from your arm would likely make the dye run? - can you use alcohol to pre-wet the leather prior to dying or does that depend on whether you use alcohol-based vs. water-based dyes? Thanks for sharing your expertise it's much appreciated.

[@JoeChadburn702]

Hey there, due to the Big Ol' COVID19 Situation i have just purchased 2 full Cow hides in different thicknesses from a supplier that we use at work (i work in orthotic products, n the leather we use is for Back Braces). Cost me a Bomb even though i got discount so im gonna FINALLY START this Leather passion iv had for quite some time. I work in the Correctional insoles department so i have NO CLUE at all how leather moves etc etc. Any tips on how you sized these up to your arms seen as they look pretty beefy. I have quite large foreams with little Noodle wrists. The only leather i have Cut/Used/Manipulated is 2mm thst we use for Made to measure shoes... im not after Art tips seen as im kinda BADASS at hand punched Brogues lol. Just after Sizing, cutting and finishing tips. Thanks for your time listenin to me blab on. Keep up the good work. Hope to hear from ya soon.

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Really like the look of these. Colours really pop against each other. I mostly do small wood carving, but it doesn't seem like a far step to this kind of leather work?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

great video as always!

[@angusoldwolf295]

I would really like to see more combat armor projects. Combat armor can be easily modified to work in fantasy or LARP just by using lighter weight leather and adding non- period designs or layered patterns like these vambraces.

[@angusoldwolf295]

But to be fair, as always, awesome finished project Magnus!

[@Shaybot]

@@angusoldwolf295 All of his actual armor he makes can be used for pretty much all the combat games, SCA, Amtgard, Belegarth, Dagorhir. No modifications necessary!

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I'll be doing some sport armor vambraces fairly soon, they're a different build for me.

[@randylee8382]

Sweet! Any plans to do a video/pattern for your combat style vambraces to go with the elbows?

[@АлександрПетрович-д9ц]

Nice job!

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

You always make something amazing.

[@KatyaKnightwolf]

Very nice. Celtic knotwork was the first thing I learned how to draw, and your right they can be Very easy and yet also very hard Lol sizing would be awkward for me, I'm a tiny wolf :P

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Just print at 80 percent scale and test the fit.

[@KatyaKnightwolf]

Good idea

[@1mrinus]

Could you add the spray gun to your shopping list? Great video as always

[@glen1arthur]

I bought one at an auto shop.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Lots of options out there but I linked some in my next level tools list for now.

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

I shared with a friend that's of Viking heritage.

do you have any ideas what i can use 10oz scraps for?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Lamellar?

[@zackarybazhaw6730]

[@SkarneZ]

wow

[@PikaGirl606]

Hello. I was browsing on your amazon store, I would like to enquire if you ship to South Africa

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

My Amazon store is my recommendation of products, so they all vary. I don't sell them directly, just suggest items to people.

[@yurowaffle7338]

Hi, what kind of leather did you use for this and what thickness?

[@thorynderhexer]

Hey. Awesome work :D I've got a question.. Im sick of sharpening the swivel-knife, over and over again..It's like i never know if the cut is too deep or not deep enough.. Is it true that u don't have to sharpen this ceramic(?)-knives? Sorry for my cruel english, im from germany :D

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

I polish my ceramic blade with a strop. Not a ton though.

[@thorynderhexer]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop oh, okay. Thanks. I've got a strop for my razorblade, i'll try it. Thank you again :D

[@hithere3247]

This time make a leather gauntlet, should be an amazing challenge.

[@menasadek9398]

I have to learn that magic trick where you instantly duplicate stuff. :-)

[@sebasnajera4667]

you are big brother

[@jenniferwhite6089]

awesome armour bracers wonder if a little leather work and better buckle tie them on I weld for a living and they have aftermarket ones are not for me have to have something different I have to make l couple welding jackets for a charity donation for work I was out of the cost of the leather I did not see what it was going for was a very big thing when the when they have seen the welding jacket for the first time they thought it was a joke to give it away but they did not think twice for buying the tickets we gave $5,000 to the charity they another one was paying me to build that jacket did very well as to that charity did too i would still like to do that but someone cut me out of that charity to bad I was plan on making saddlebags for a bike

[@glen1arthur]

They look so bad a$$. you could change that a little for an arm guard for archery. Hey you could do a whole set - arm, chest, & finger guard with quiver. That is such a great idea it probably deserves a reward ..... do you want my measurements? hehe ; D just joking. But I really think it would be an interest group of projects.

[@zed6069]

Kevin Noll me too

[@Taskuvesku]

That snap-trick didn't work...

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Give it time.

[@ApolloSZ]

You have to stop making new projects for me to do :P. I'm in the middle of making your Elbow armour at the moment.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Get er done. :)

[@janstih3593]

can you send me a this product plis

[@igneous061]

leather is not that useful as armour on its own.... -.-
