I have been working with leather for a few years now and with the help of more experienced crafters I have gotten pretty good. I have also watched many videos over the years to learn new things, I have learned many new techniques and really appreciate your content. Also love the idea of precut patterns, another idea would be to make patterns out of a reusable material so that the printing and cutting step could be skipped for us. And we could go straight to cutting and tooling the leather. Thanks for all you do !!!

I've had a set of black leather armor for almost 20 years now, and I LOVE IT, but I've never found a helmet I liked enough or thought would work with the amour (and be worth the extra heat, lack of vision etc)... until seeing this! It looks like it might finally be time to dive into leather working and make a helmet for the armor!

Good to hear. You can make some decorative cuts or punch some decorative holes in the helmet to help with cooling too.

Such a great pattern! A few questions: 1) can the pattern be scaled linearly according to 1-2 central measurements (e.g. head circumference)? 2) how hard does that finish make the leather? I'd like to build this and then oven harden it maybe? Looking for legit armor hard 3) does it make sense to stitch any of the pieces or would that be too much of a pain?
@Princearmory2 жыл бұрын
1 - the pattern can be scaled by percentage, so it scales proportionally to literally any size 2 - the more acrylic finish you add (ideally to the inside) the more firm you can make it, to a pretty good degree. you can also find 'leather firmer' from weaver which helps too. I never suggest going for rock hard with leather, it will eventually become brittle... it's a whole topic on itself really. 3 - you can stitch if you prefer. I just find riveting faster and easier which is the point of this series.

You see the paper mockup in the video that is micro scale, scaling up is completely based on % you control in printing settings, so it's very easy and you can double check with a paper mockup to make sure you're in the right ball park.

Would really love to see an armor project that focuses on making an articulated leather version of actual medieval plate armor seen in museums where the leather pieces aren't just rigidly riveted together, but articulated to move with the wearer. Minimal decoration and no outlandish flourishes, just a functional harness of leather plate armor. The next project should be made to resemble late 15th century German gothic "Maximilian-style" plate armor, such as made by Lorenz Helmschmied of Augsburg, with tooling to imitate the lines of ridges and fluting. That would be spectacular!

DONT buy the rotary punch from lowes or Home Depot! They are flimsy, don’t cut straight, & I eventually end up with a bent frame! If you hav a drill press you can Chuck a straight round handle hole punch in it. With a board under the leather receptive punches are much easier! Works well for stitching hole punches too!
