I was researching leather bracers for my wife and came across this video, and it was/is one of the best videos I’ve watched probably in 5 years. The 3 different forms of artistry coming together to present this trade was fantastic. The artistry of leather smithing, artistic design of the etching, and then to so tastefully capture it on camera in such a pleasing calm format. It’s all amazing. Thank you for sharing. It also reminded me of watching my Mother repair horse saddles.

Great work! I love watching your videos, they're very relaxing and I love the way you showcase that rustic is beautiful. I also love the way you present your finished product at the end of the video. Keep up the great work.

Pretty cool! I never had luck with those types of rivets. I recently switched to the copper rivet and burr style; they never fail. I need to make my son an archery arm guard. He just took up traditional archery. I'm just browsing for some ideas. Nice job on the carving. Thanks for sharing. :)

It’s cool that you don’t wear gloves while dying. I don’t worry about getting chemicals on my hands either. Best leather craft video I’ve ever seen! Gonna make this armgaurd, thanks for the inspiration!

@@FoxesandRavens Yep I totally understand it's the little things that matter and made life for comfortable . At 77 now and still hunting theirs another thing that made a big deference hunting in brush area's and quick strap release on your guard to clear out sticks and twigs and sort of junk that can make you measurable . Happy trails you 2.

Gotcha! Yes, it's actually antler, with designs from the Viking period, that a friend made for me for Viking reenactment :) It's not a typical design from that period, most other models that I've seen have a piece of cloth inside, and are open on both ends, but I like mine!
