How to Build a Leather Vambrace - Who Does it Better? 1 Hour Challenge

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Be sure to vote #drawbridgeprops or #darkhorseworkshop to help us figure out the winner. This was a spur of the moment video, we weren't even sure if it would get released since we were trying to figure out how to make it work. We have some changes to do for next time, enjoy!

[@neodym1810]

I’m late to the vote, but #darkhorseworkshop wins. Simple fact in competition, if you don’t finish, you don’t win. I liked Levi’s better, but he didn’t finish.

[@oscarbruce7741]

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can give me!

[@josiahjon3832]

@Oscar Bruce instablaster =)

[@oscarbruce7741]

@Josiah Jon Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@oscarbruce7741]

@Josiah Jon it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@ApolloSZ]

#drawbridgeprops - Sorry man, I like the studded look on yours and I know Levi didn't finish in time. But I like the clean cut style he made, it makes me think of Dwarven armour. You're right though, yours did come out as what I'd picture a Barbarian wearing.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Fair statements! :)

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

All I've gotten from these votes so far is half of you people have no regard for RULES! This is Anarchy!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Dark Horse Workshop you love anarchy.

[@kuroiryuu04]

Hahahhahahahhahahahhahhahahah rules

[@nicnaknoc]

Rules are for sore loosers calling technical fault 🤣

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

@@nicnaknoc Votes are yet to be counted! Things are looking close though. :)

[@digitaIgorilla]

So a win's a win 😀 Was very interesting to see such different solutions. Would love to see some more competitions. #Darkhorseworkshop

[@LindyDesignLab]

Great job guys, nice change of pace for a video idea. That would stress me out so much trying to make something in an hour.

[@ordnaelshideout]

#drawbridgeprops for me, I love the heavier leather and dwarven style

[@Mariana-fk4gc]

I vote for #drawbridgeprops . I like more the clean look and the awesome work. Greetings from México

[@suzanneanderson4631]

Looks fab, guys!!

[@Robert15343]

#drawbridgeprops only because I like the finished look of his and his looks like it would be more functional as a vambrace. The barbarian style to me says archery arm guard more than vambrace.

[@keithrowland4910]

Hmmmm, difficult choice but I preferred #drawbridgeprops for looks and style, but as others have said, I wouldnt have got anywhere near finished in an hour. This was fun to watch though, seeing the differing design ideas and thought process, kudos to you both

[@502deth]

late finish aside, this was an awesome video, and both designs were great, too close to call. both had a completely unique design and were great in their own right. so, with this in mind, my vote is that clearly the winner in this is the viewer of the video.

[@TheRunesmythe]

Its a *really* hard choice; while I like Levi's because of the very structured, layered build but the sort of free-form, simple barbarian-esque approach worked really well too. In the end though, I think I have to go #darkhorseworkshop.

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

#darkhorseworkshop Because good creative work that's functional, and completed in time

[@rjrackley6132]

Great fun guys! Do more of these challenges! #darkhorseworkshop both of you guys did very well, it's not easy to accomplish much in 1 hour.

[@johnnycycle69]

outstanding. sadly you should never rush art...... still fantastic. #darkhorseworkshop got that barbarian vibe nailed down. id love to see one day builds and possibly a collaboration where both parties make a full suit. that could easily spread out to a bunch of episodes. good stuff.

[@seanc3362]

#drawbrigeprops. Ya he was late, I like the design. Kudos to both!

[@jonathancherry5788]

#drawbridgeprops . I like the idea of the barbarian one but think it could have been done better. Also ApolloSz I think your right with the clean look an the Dwarven style

[@gabrielmeunier2172]

Both are super, but I have a slight preference for #drawbridgeprops

[@justasmeska1889]

Can't chose , love both

[@qtfusiondance]

I like the look of both. Draw Bridge looks more realistic. Studs running around the leather for aesthetic effect only are pretty impractical in actual combat. If you don't have hairy arms, the other side of the studs looks uncomfortable even before combat; if you do have hairy arms, I am sorry if your hairs get caught on those metal things. On the other hand, having a piece of armor that is actually complete and battle ready is more practical than the alternative. :)

[@stingraybob8933]

#darkhorseworkshop wins it! That bracer would fit better as a part of a costume, there's a lot of variety in the textures on the piece and there's a lot to be said for the creativity that went into the piece. I do like the #drawbridgeprops bracer as well and the attention to planning, detail, and precision really shows.

[@steveroush4147]

Double capped rivets give a more finished look !

[@brocdocknock527]

If I go by who finished on time dark horse if I was to go is who looked better Levi I can't really said because I liked both.

[@joserodriguez7231]

#dark horse workshop. i loved the challenge guys it was an amazing video i chose dark horse because he kept it barbarac style i love those types of styles

[@CheyneFelter]

Both were well done and it's a struggle to pick a winner. I think the hour time challenge was a good way to force creativity and even though it's more raw, I like the look of the barbarian style. Good luck drawing that for a pattern 8D @

[@triciaseiter6855]

Under the rules... Darkhorse gets the win. Aesthetically, you just can't compare. Such different styles. Two of my sons really like the formal style of drawbridge's design. Husband liked the rugged barbarian look. So there are 4 votes here (if you will take them.) we all agreed that the challenge rules made a clear winner. #Darkhorse

[@chriswolfe609]

I gotta say even though he didn't finish in time he did a great job in my opinion it was the you both did great

[@BarbarianGod]

#darkhorseworkshop gotta go with the barbarian style, obviously

[@michaellinden425]

Hard to choose so I decided to go a very simple way. 1. Protection: I think that 3 layers of thin leather won't give me the protection that I need in a combat. So I give a point to Drawbridge 2. Style: Very easy to choose for me because I love the wild babarian style. One point for Dark Horse. 3. The Result: We've seen two different ideas and two different technics to chreate them. But at least it was a one hour competition and Levi didn't finished his project in time so the Vembrace is not useable. So I have to give my last point to Dark Horse. So my winner, with 2 to 1 point is #darkhorseworkshop But at last let me say that both projects are amazing. They are looking fantastic and it's a great work especially for only 1 hour to create. I say thank you and go on.

[@athelonus]

I like both!

[@DocAcher]

Man, both so good!!

[@TheOtherDave]

You both did great... my vote. :) #Darkhorseworkshop

[@uniballoutlaw]

#DarkBridge because YOU did finish and it was barbarian style and looked it TOTALLY! BUT I did like Drawbridge concept just lacked execution in an hour though

[@tuckersmith7532]

I have loved watching both of you guys videos for a long time. Keep up the great work

[@Labagpipebear]

#drawbridgeprops for the win... plus Levi is super HOT. Keep up the great work guys!

[@prowokator]

#drawbridgeprops he did not finnish in time but it was better this time. Had you had the fur you'd probably got my vote, it did need one more thing.

[@hmmm6317]

Orc Vs dwarf vambrace

[@steveroush4147]

I agree about the hand stitching but... I have never been able to afford a machine so I have gotten pretty good at hand stitching. I know that you are using different thicknesses of leather but...

[@tundraspirits2061]

levi won hands down, not even a competition.

[@VolatileBullfrog]

#darkhorseworkshop This was a tough choice. DNF aside, I'd still go for that barbarian style. The freeform look is really appealing to me and I love the studs, though I think it could have used a few more on the forearm portion. Fur would have been amazing at the elbow end if you had any! Impressed you decided to go with some hand stitching anyway.

[@blizatrex]

while I like the scraptastic nature of darkhorse #drawbridgeprops is my clear winner with all the rivet and swivel knife action.

[@adamrasmussen6087]

I like both, but Levi's style is more to my taste so I have to go with #drawbridgeprops

[@jetshadowcrow]

#darkhorseworkshop Ultimately simplistic, and that you did finish in time. Great work on your compatriot's build attempt. P.S. thank you for all your tips, advice and time.

[@LittleJacked]

#darkhorseworkshop for the win based on contest rules, but #drawbridgeprops earned a new subscriber. :) Thanks to you both for a great video!

[@arandomstone]

i'm wondering what is best to use as a under-layer for vambraces as not to hurt the user while using it

[@jean-marclabonte2844]

#drawbridgeprops , I like the clean lines of Levi's design. Both are very good for an hour of work. Keep up the good work guys.

[@PatinaLeathercraft]

#drawbridgeprops Levi gets my vote.

[@atomko87]

I love both channels and designs but I'm going to have to go #drawbridgeprops on this one!

[@elptakusa4436]

#darkhorseworkshop nailed it :D

[@jeaves8131]

This is awesome, Forged in Fire meets leather working! Love to see more of these challenges. #darkhorseworkshop takes the win for me, timed competition is timed competition. #drawbridgeprops great design, it looked fantastic

[@psychalogy]

Meeting the time limit is important, but more important is making the actual item asked for. A completed not-vambrace does not beat an unfinished actual-vambrace.

[@robinborjesson1387]

#drawbridgeprops he did the better one

[@joelstull8983]

#darkhorseworkshop In all fairness you did finish within the hour. Sooooo technically you did win regardless of what the popular vote is.

[@ArmouryTerrain]

While the Dark Horse Workshop had a finished build and looked ok, I have to vote #Drawbridgeprops as to me the clean lines and planning sing in my soul.

[@ColossosBear]

#DarkHorseWorkshop really liked this challenge! Would also like to see a similar video, but slower and more detail. Maybe like a 4-6 hour challenge?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Thanks for salvaging that video!! Can't wait to do it again! #darkhorseworkshop Because you finished!

[@dapperdan3668]

#darkhorseworkshop

[@Lumpylee76]

#darkhorseworkshop all the way

[@shawnpgorman]

#darkhorseworkshop ftw

[@kakashie950]

Can you do a video about making a tricorn hat?

[@darkgreedo2]

I love the studs you put on your vambrace. If it was black and red it would have a strong resemblance to the Dark Brotherhood leather armor from Elder Scrolls! #darkhorseworkshop

[@Irechan]

I love both (might try to make the barbarian one myself) but I gotta give it to #drawbridgeprops For an hour that looks brilliant!

[@cmdraftbrn]

#darkhorseworkshop for practicality. #drawbridgeprops for style.

[@paulw6550]

gotta go #darkhorseworkshop, truly a barbarian at heart. I had a pair very similar but Ookla the Mok lost them. Now my vembraces look like Ookla.

[@steveroush4147]

I don’t hashtag anything. Still think that you should’ve left the rough edge ! Couldn’t really see the other guys finished product.

[@bbarker5766]

Did you not watch till the end??

[@MexieMex]

I liked the look of Levi's a lot more, but it wasn't finished in time so @

[@oharakatie14]

#drawbridgeprops looks a bit nicer and more put together BUT #darkhorseworkshop finished on time and I love the lace up!

[@kuroiryuu04]

Sorry Magnus, but #drawbridgeprops I like yours for the simplicity of it and it gives me an idea for my scraps at home, but I like the detail thatLevi had in his.

[@ForestRainMedia]

#drawbridgeprops Bracer looked amazing! Buuut- didn't finish on time! #darkhorseworkshop Bracer was reminiscent of Raider armor from Fallout. Neat concept AAAND done on time. Clear winner for that. ;p

[@psychalogy]

Except #darkhorseworkshop didn’t actually make armour but rather something that kinda looked like it might have been armour if you stood back quite a ways and squinted.... a lot...

[@celsoaz2]

I couldn't done either even if I had 1 week...

[@johnstockton2800]

I've got to go with #DrawbridgeProps. Sorry 😁

[@realoscaryarrito]

#darkhorseworkshop, Rules were: finish in 1 hr.

[@zacharylindahl]

#darkhorseworkshop I love monks in dnd and it looks like something a monk would wear. all in all a great video! would love to see this become a series

[@draven3838]

Dark horses is a barbarian vambrace ,where Levi's is like a dwarven vambrace

[@theboundslayer2083]

Happy new year! They both looked great but I preferred the post-apocalyptic look to #darkhorseworkshop (and he did finish on time)

[@luckyswordsmen991]

#dark horse

[@KestralWolfe]

I really groove with #darkhorseworkshop 's design. It really hits my aesthetic ^_^

[@michaelmayfield6968]

#Drawbridge. Both have merit, but #Darkhorse looks more like a ranger vambrace(bowman style). drawbridge looks like swordsman style

[@TMD4343]

#Drawbridge props.

[@bbarker5766]

Straight up.... you finished in time & it looked like your scribbles but it looked cobbled together and unfinished to me. Levi did what he designed pretty much and looks a lot stronger. Yes he didn't meet the time line however he did more in the time overall to me. I doubt it took him much more than a few more minutes to complete but he gets my vote this time. # drawbridgeprops

[@linemurmann]

#DarkHorseWorkshop (y)

[@michaelbragel34]

#drawbridgeprops - sorry brother he has you beaten clean...

[@seangeldart6619]

While I may be late to the party, I would give my vote to #darkhorseworkshop that being said; I definitely subscribed to drawbridge props--as what he made was equally awesome and I would love to see more of his stuff!

[@KiltedBlackDragon]

#darkhorseworkshop. i like the wild style, on-the-go, leatherwork and how it sets. looks comfortable

[@GibClark]

Like his better....but he failed....gotta know your limitations.. #darkhorseworkshop. But he got a sub!!

[@psychalogy]

The unfinished one is still better. The scrappy one is basically a thin leather sleeve, not at all protective.

[@emilylindstrom724]

#drawbridgeprops because he took a lot more risks

[@grettapitts3068]

Drawbridge props style was cool, but I kinda like the more raw look of dark horse...

[@dusanradin5868]

Your is good,but i still prefer # drawbrigeprops...

[@kelsea8767]

#darkhorseworkshop Seriously in love with the rough style. I'm kind of a sucker for that rough, re-purposed look. So much character! Also Levi DNF, so as far as I am concerned the winner is clear.

[@somersethuscarl2938]

Well one is a vanbrace the other is an arm guard soooooo only one choice. Sorry #drawbridgeprops

[@thomasburns4988]

#drawbridgeprops looks like it would better survive a real battle over the other scrappy design.

[@MaghnusmacanGhabhann]

There is only one vambrace finished within the set parameters of the competition. #darkhorseworkshop Winner

[@JD-be7ys]

Sorry, but #drawbridgeprops.

[@marcchoronzey3923]

#drawbridgeprops just because I like the audacity of thinking he was going to complete that in an hour (even without stitching).

[@luckyswordsmen991]

Is it possible to make my character's helmet

[@edwardhunts]

#darkhorseworkshop at least had something to show at the end

[@DanGoodayleUnreal]

@ is my winner, that's a really clean execution in a really short amount of time. That being said, it wasn't finished in an hour (how long did it take in the end?) #darkhorseworkshop for the completion on time, plus the barbaric style. Really great concept for a video loved seeing two styles battling it out. Love to see more like this!

[@nmrenaissancecelticfestiva4443]

#Darkhorse

[@TheJonasShow]

#darkhorseworkshop you finished he didn't

[@TheJonasShow]

I'm also biased. I think that's how you spell it

[@piperbof]

#darkhorseworkshop drawbridge design is better, but didn’t finish in time.
