Hi, I'm from Argentina, how do I get the printable models of this armor? to replicate them on fabric to make a costume for my school.

[@enjitodoroki202]

The narration sounds like a perfect mix between a real persons voice and text to speech.

[@Princearmory]

Hmm, thanks lol

[@atlasssian7232]

Holy shit ur right

[@wavelengthdesigns]

Watching these makes me desperately wish for a workshop space. Someday.

[@golanoski1]

If you have a yard. Harbor freight sells a 10foot by 17 foot long by 6 door tall portable car park. But it anchors into the ground and can be used as a workshop

[@FullStackFool]

Dude, subscribed 👍 You have such a calm, easy listening voice for tutorials, really enjoyed it. Right up until the point the music kicked back in, which then blew out my eardrums. Also appreciated the 14:00 mark, where the audio died completely, making me fiddle with my headphones until bang: the music kicked back in full volume. So yeah, amazing job, I now need to find a UK leather supplier so I can try this! (Even if myself and next 3 generations of my family have tinnitus ☺️)

[@Princearmory]

Yeah, still learning and figuring out editing. easy to miss things on these long videos too.

[@copper_knight]

10 years later, you're still the best. You set the bar in terms of leather armor making. You really excel in patern-making, that's what sets you appart. I've always been a big fan of your work. Good job, much love from Québec.

[@matthewb94]

I really enjoy your videos, Prince Armory. No BS, no drama, and limited talking. Clear video and explanations as well and a very classy plug for your ads. Great work

[@joesanchezii4461]

I speak not only on my behalf,but for thousands of other's sitting at home watching these incredible videos of this man's amazing leather work,I am so impressed with your knowledge of leatherworks,as well as your tutorial skills to teach others your craft, simply amazing and beautiful. Thank you for your eagerness to show us your work.

[@jcmcdaniels6780]

I am new to leather crafting and I have watched my fair share of video's and tutorials. I came across one of your fantasy armor builds and learned a tremendous amount on the craft. Techniques on dyeing, painting, tooling, molding, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I look forward to more tutorials and.... I am currently saving the funds to either buy the warrior kit or at least the pattern and leather. Again , thank you. You are extremely talented and generous for sharing your knowledge with others. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@RedRainDropsDog]

I get excited every time you post a video, thanks for inspiring me to start working in this amazing medium.

[@Princearmory]

Thanks much, glad youre getting involved with it!

[@justanotherprettyface439]

My very first leather project was the fantasy bracers from this series. I made both styles from the pattern - one in shiny black with the wings and one in mottled dark brown with the more traditional rounded edges. Boy, did I learn a LOT from that project. Come payday, its time to get this pattern (already have the leather and tools) but I tell myself that if I want to wear this in public I'm gonna need to really workout harder at the gym than I have been. Tandy, Weaver, Springfield, and Maker's Supply all owe you big time for getting me hooked on leather work!

How is it for mobility? It looks like it'd give you a hard time raising your arm forward, or does it bend with the shoulder? Fantastic work, I'll keep an eye on this channel if I ever decide to start meddling with this sort of thing. I'll stick to watching for now.

Keep up the good work, nay , keep up the master work and I look forward to watching your future tutorials.

[@FlexyStraws]

I've seen a lot of tutorials online, this one by far has been one of the more encouraging than most. I like how you showcase and talk about how mistakes can happen. Got my subscribe Could you possibly share what the cost of doing these spaulder pieces go for? leather, tools, buckle, paint, dye and all? And generally how many man hours did it take?

[@aurelius-]

for me, buying the materials for this project (going in with 0 expertise and 0 supplies) its cost me around 200 USD including the sheet of leather (4 oz cow hide with veg tan, at $40 for the sheet, and two 1.5 inch strips of leather at $7 each) with the cheaper "non professional" tools ive bought whether in kits or loosely picked off hangers. The dye i bought was around 7-8$ for a 4 oz bottle and the sealer i bought was 9. im going to go in to grab tools as i need them, because a mistake i made was buying online without guidance (which ended up giving me tools i might not use, and not necessarily buying ones i actually needed based off of blind assumption) ive started this project today so i cant give you an "hours spent" but as a beginner, it took me an hour and a half to stencil and cut. i can update you as i complete more parts to give you a better feel!

[@FlexyStraws]

@@aurelius- you are amazing! I look forward to hearing your progress! Its always a lil daunting to just dive right on in not knowing what price tag you have to invest at least I have a point to compare against

[@aurelius-]

Peter Nguyen so its been a few days, but including start to finish (to this point) its taken i think about 15-20 hours? drying time not included. imgur.com/a/N2r4nE5 this album has my progress start to finish (well, the finish being the spaulder sans chest strap, since i havent had a second pair of hands to help measure yet, lol) but it hasnt been difficult, just tedious, and im sure the next project will be a lot easier for me to handle now that ive (sorta) messed around with the tools and materials. the only trouble i had was sizing the rivets, but i just sorta eye-balled it and it seemed to work out fine! there are pictures of the spaulder assembled but not dyed, and its just a test fit before i disassembled, dyed, sealed, and reassembled. using open back screw rivets made it easier for me to do this step, so i really highly recommend the screw-in rivets over the hammered rivets. they also kinda add a lot of character to the weathered/rustic style i went for. the leather sealer i used was a sheen and not satin, so its a bit shinier than i wanted but i still think it looks nice. i hope this helps!

[@CinemaMaxi]

@@aurelius- Many thanks for those precisions !

[@DrawerOfTheFallen]

Really makes me wanna sew a costume with leather armor parts... but I always fail any project at the get-the-materials-part, so I suppose it'll just end up as another drawing in my sketchbook - maybe someday one of these sketches will come to actually get crafted. At least now I know where to seek technique reference for when this day comes.

[@FilmAcolyteReturns]

Tandy Leather isn’t just some random sponsor. They are THE company to get leather working supplies and tools from. I have a few of their tools myself, check out your local Hobby Lobby for their stuff.

[@Mornomgir]

just stumbled in here and found this facinating. When using dye in such a fashion, how "thick" is the paint? Is it possible to say, dilute and simply dip or is that out of the question when it comes to leather? Since it works well for metals and plastics and resin and the like.

I’m not sure if you know this but this entire diy set (Pauldron, bracers, tassets) is actually worn by one of the main characters on the show Lucifer in the very last episode(season 5 episode 16) at the midway point.

hello, thanks for the video. It's super cool and I started working on leather as well. I'm just doing the spaulders, but I can not find 2 "Buckls. So I wanted to ask where can I buy this. I'm from Germany. until now my new hobby makes a lot of fun and I am looking forward to many new videos.

[@tommorgan9073]

Just found this channel! You have been a huge help! I would love to see a fit and mobility test on some of this equipment in the future, just so I know what I'm supposed to expect. For example, it seems like this would restrict my ability to stretch my arms out and put them above my head, but I'm not sure. Thanks again!

Awesome!!!! Can't wait to start! I gotta agree with neil though, slow them down and get in all of the cool music again. I could barely tell what you were doing while stitching, kind of slowed down and sped up at weird times.

[@aiedle007]

Seeing as your current focus is armor tutorials I was wondering how you would go about making the leather stronger say for combat purposes? I know there are likely several methods but I was wondering what you'd reccomend.

[@Princearmory]

Just use thicker leather and stronger rivets is about all you'd need to do. Maybe trim the points down for safety of others too.

[@Duckylitner]

Your stuff always looks great and good advice

[@Princearmory]
