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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@ricosuave4275]

Looks super cool! Good to see the traditional art of leather craft being used for fantasy armor and cosplay. *_The creative gears in my head are churning._*

[@revus5078]

I like it how calm you sound, I've taken multiple classes and all of them have had a high pitched instructor who is really bored by that time. It just makes it so much easier to listen to. Thanks.

[@johnunderwood5115]

Quality work. I have seen, used, and done leather work most of my life, and you, are a true artist.,,,,and the tutorial is immensely helpful.

[@r4inxs510]

Your channel is a gold mine! The youtube gods have smiled upon me.

[@nnighty2845]

This is like the Ultimate Guide in making the coolest real life leather spaulders Ive ever seen And Im getting them Gamer chills too

[@Princearmory]

Thanks!

[@Valkera17]

The leather work is just so amazing. I really enjoy watching people do this kind of stuff. Job well done

[@Princearmory]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@kitincognito516]

Oh my god, I do not understand how you don’t have a million subs at least. The quality and generosity in sharing your high skill crafting is amazing, Thank you! I just went to my First fair and am so excited to try making a leather piece

[@jtimm00]

This is an awesome piece, your leather craftsmanship is impeccable. I don’t cosplay or LARP, but can appreciate good work when I see it. Great video.

[@MrAsamondajin]

I like the way you explain for those of us who are new to it.

[@Princearmory]

Yep, thats the goal

[@charlieauney790]

Looks awesome. I do agree with using gold for the edges

[@Princearmory]

Yeah it's a favorite of mine but silver and bronze also look epic. And off the wall colors can make for a great and unique look too.

[@LivinProductions]

I've been watching your video's nonstop and due to that I really want to begin leather working.

[@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.

[@Victoria-ff9lv]

From someone who’s never looked at leather before, this is fascinating! I love the way you explain what your doing this way everyone can learn something. Keep it up!

Thanks!

[@terryg7138]

OMG! Another amazing leather video! Nom nom nom nom!

[@Princearmory]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@edroosen4988]

Great narration even a new comer in leather works can understand, good advice and tips, Great video and a beautiful Spaulder at the end, Thank you for sharing.

[@mephistosdemonia1999]

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and have a subscribe. Even if I never get into leather working just watching you work is a pleasure. Not only are you a master craftsman but you are beyond a doubt a master teacher as well. You and those like you of all professions make KZbin what it is today. Keep up the good work, nay , keep up the master work and I look forward to watching your future tutorials.

"...and fluctuations in holiday dinners" Absolutely hilarious😂😂 Beautifully done. Ive just started making leather armour for a friend of mine, and with how this piece turned out, i cant wait to dtart on his shoulders! Thanks for such an in depth, and informative tutorial!!

[@Princearmory]

Thanks!

[@235ddd]

It would be nice to see that someone wears it for showing that this armor is comfortable for wearing.

I actually just finished two sets and while they sit well on my shoulders, the design stops me from being able to raise my arms =(

[@lastrare2276]

This is wonderful. I can't wait to try it!!

[@joshuabeale574]

I was wondering what the reason was for adding the gold accent color after the assembly, instead of before?

[@bjornsworkshop9288]

It's mostly a matter of streamlining the process. Depending on how you articulate the armor, many sections of the border will be permenantly hidden under/behind other plates. Since these bits will never be seen, the extra time, energy, and materials are unnecessary. There is nothing wrong with painting the borders beforehand, but waiting until things are assembled may save you a bit of time in the long run.

[@FIaTH714]

That was incredible! So creative and inspiring. Can't wait for you to explode and get the hundreds and thousands or millions of subscribers you deserve!

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.

[@arhont7485]

It seems like raising an arm with this design (with a strap over a chest) is on the hard side, because the main part of spaulder is mostly rigid (only lower parts are flexible because of chicago screws). Sure, I can use gorget or a cuirass to hold the spaulders, but my costume doesn't suggest using them. Can you please give me an advice on how can I change the pattern to be more flexible?

[@Princearmory]

That's the trade-off. If you want to only wear one pauldron or just pauldrons it not going to be as mobile. Watch the style two video and the breastplate video and the full suit recap video if you'd like more ideas, or the pauldrons on our other themes too.

[@clintabner7522]

[@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 !
