How to make a leather medieval armband......REVISITED!

[@MNgunhead]

You were too good to go away. You got me into leatherwork. I've made some nice stuff and I owe much of my knowledge to you. I miss watching you do this stuff. AND your music is awesome. I still want to get it for riding music on my motorcycle. It's perfect for ripping down the twisty roads.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!

[@temilola1]

Fascinating to watch and a very Lovely piece of art! I'm a visual person with Classic Rock as my background. Loved all of it!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@weightlifter59]

You are an artistic person and I for one am glad your back! Keep up the great work!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@Norgesla]

That is awesome - you are very talented and music is fab too Thank you for sharing

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Lorraine Twyman thanks

[@kristi8484]

Awesome!! I Have sooo been enjoying your video's!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem

[@patrickt3228]

The sync with music and the sign of the horns at 14:38 was awesome. Nice video!

[@NightWarp]

Nice to see you back! The lace setup idea.. brilliant. As others said, im not a fan of having music (VS a narration). I would have love a narration over music. Would have been easier for the beginners to follow along. :)

[@JDOCustomLeather]

I work full time now in a warehouse, I'm only doing leatherwork when people need something, I don't have time to do tutorials anymore, sorry.

[@NightWarp]

Sad, but totally understandable, real life obligations and all.

[@alext8027]

maybe good music then? lol

[@vicenteramos8498]

Good job. I want to learn how to do this. I've always been curious.

[@Dldmny]

Wow! Made more than a few of those I'd say ... great design and workmanship!

[@RavenVargas27]

OMG what a beautiful masterpiece. I was picturing some cool metal bands wearing it while performing and warriors to. Thanks excellent tutorial

[@mikegrossberg8624]

For edge burnishing, I use beeswax instead of water. It gives a very nice finish, while sealing the edges from moisture

[@seanharmon1988]

can you add a description of what's going on here? Especially with the dyes and what not. Maybe upload a pattern?

[@IpentagrammatonI]

Great work and the music is perfect. Nice Master of reality t-shirt 🤘🏻¡Saludos de Perú!

[@lindagonzalez1529]

Fabulous! I work with leather but everything I make is for women. Maybe I'll try something in that nature for the Motorcycle Mama? LOL

[@JDOCustomLeather]

lol

[@johnbutler2231]

Great piece, thanks for sharing.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem

[@troynorris5764]

Great, I would give something like this a try. I liked the music too.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@troynorris5764]

Thank you

[@paulopaulo1113]

wouawww génial un vrais régale pour nos yeux merci. Paulo

[@davesalisbury7361]

A great looking Bracer. It would be great with some info for us lesser ( much much lesser) talented and beginners to have a better idea of each step. Still a good video of your talent.

[@echosong873]

very VERY beautiful. You truly have a gift, if I nearly do all what you did in that video I would lose ALL of my fingers

[@JDOCustomLeather]

LOL thanks

[@johnconnor1683]

Nice work ,I think I would have the dragons head at the forearm end rather than the wrist,bit still excellent,cheers

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@philipprigmore8723]

Great armband, but wouldn't it look better had the dragon's feet been at the wrist?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

To each his own man!

[@ttinkers1062]

Philip Prigmore a person wears jewerly for themselves not for others. The design is worn in a position most pleasing for the wearing to observe not others. if the design was placed the other way the wearer would always be looking at the dragon upside down. just my 2 cents.

[@92000]

How thick was your leather in milimeters?

[@markf.4063]

@@ttinkers1062 Bullshit! If people wore jewelry for themselves then explain ear rings. The person wearing them cannot even see them.

[@williamdrake6711]

Not true.. Just as in tattooing it is placed for viewing... How often do you see tattoos upside down on people... The dragon shouldve been placed the other way...

[@LagOknenonok]

Could you make a list of the materials you used please? :D

[@Karenthis]

This might be the OCD part of my brain but why not line up the template to the very edge of your leather? Leather isn't cheap....don't waste it needlessly.

[@electraheart7745]

It actually isn’t very expensive depending on where you buy it. A veg tanned shoulder can cost anywhere from $20-60 depending on quality.

[@antrax8120]

great work dude ...but can you make another one with spikes ? plz

[@william385]

out standing work guy i like it you sell these if so how much .

[@stevenellis9801]

That is quite beautiful work there my friend.

[@timhill2849]

i used to wear something similar when i was a young lad. The only diffrence is that is was a bit smaller in diameter and about 30" long.It was for my hair. Had snaps in it and it worked great, I worked in the steel mils and my hair was my chick magnet. lol, great work on this peice. enjoyed it, mabey you can find someone that would let you make them a pony tail leather peice.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

That's interesting!

[@thefeatheredheart9455]

thanks for the video! Great tips! LOVE the dragon detail!

[@Lostboy779]

You’re a kick ass artist. Keep it up.

[@nathanmccullough7884]

Could you give us a tutorial on how to make the template?

[@zurizadaygarcia1313]

7:44 What's the size of those1️⃣2️⃣things❔🤔

[@TheUnclefester13]

Excellent work. If it had been for me I would have had the dragons feet at the wrist and a leather piece under the laces but to each their own. How thick was that leather?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks, 8-9 oz I think.

[@TheUnclefester13]

Appreciated, looking to make a set of these to wear and add a layer of sheet metal to protect against knife slashes. Love the music and on second thought the wings at the wrist was the better idea. Rock on.

[@rickveaks1546]

Shouldn't the dragon be facing up the arm and not towards the wrist? Beautiful work

[@jarredpiri364]

do you have a free pattern of some of your leather project

[@guitarsarge]

Nice work! Thumbs up on the music as well... it is a Medieval Armband

[@Collihan93]

Really cool video! I may have to try this project. What are the measurements you used? Where did you learn to draw?

[@honda24169]

Thats awesome.. Hope ya dont mind if I use your lace idea. Mine is no where near as nice, and you gave me a good idea on templates.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Go for it!

[@honda24169]

Thank you.

[@mountainwolf1]

Nice work and brutal metal whom is the track if i may ask?

[@JDOCustomLeather]

I made the music. I have a heavy metal channel if you’re interested.

[@mountainwolf1]

@@JDOCustomLeather for sure nice work what is it i'll check it out.

Bro what a great video I am making my own , but I don't know what these things are called , do you think you can tell me? 13:12 (the black things)

[@nunojravelino3392]

Your work was very good, congratulations. What was the number of the beveler stamp you used ??

[@MetalSkinDIY]

Good music 🤘🏼 and good job 👌🏼

[@sy84]

I wish that was mine, where can i get one?????????!!!

[@khaledassaf6356]

This is pretty damn nice! And finally a timelapse with good music \m/

[@jonnyelgalloprieto8326]

wow another fantastic video thank you saludos .....

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@tigerzuri9547]

How much would this be with some design I have, and to ship to México?

[@poisonempress]

Awesome creation and I personally loved the music... I would have chose different music if it were my video as you know what most people are like. But regardless, great video, great creation, and great music.

[@huntersbow5008]

lovely work but is there a pattern that i could get to follow please

[@kcrubber]

It'd be nice if you explain where you got your pattern

[@MrSkafloc40]

What kind of tracing material do you use.

[@dragonUSNr]

Looks awesome. Would love to have a link to the dragon

[@reallychosen8976]

Awesome video and music !!!

[@CenrionPrime]

very nice work. i have a question about changing the color i bought color and a solution they said to put it on the leather to make it waterproof, so do i wait till the color is dry and then put it on or put it on directly after. thanks a lot

[@mikegrossberg8624]

Always wait for the dye(s) to dry completely. If you apply the finish coat before they do, they'll just smear

[@RebeckaHellman]

I go to a leatherschool in Sweden and the project I'm working on right now is a similar thing for my boyfriend

[@TheGearhead327350]

love the build and the music, who is the music by?

[@Kv-pk2st]

with you on that Phil. he was excited about his new camera,

[@customhaines2510]

I have made a couple out of stainless steel, but leather is much more comfortable, steel doesn't flex with arm movement. So now the metal is reserved for bracelets and bracers are leather. I love that dragon!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Metal bracers sound cool

[@customhaines2510]

JDOCustomLeather Yeah they sound cool, but they really aren't comfortable. Can't rotate your wrist when it's encased in metal.

[@christopherfisher5155]

What about lining the steel with leather or using steel plates?

[@CadreFighter]

3:22 & 13:42 OMG so good... You must be a Septicflesh fan, cuz you totally nailed the guitar tone. Some Revolution DNA nostalgia right there! Do you have a separate page / project for your music like Soundcloud? If not, you should. :P Aside from the music, amazing design work!

[@molan1998oif]

Absolute beauty man... metal in the form of leather \m/

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@isabellaguerrero5194]

Using this vid for a cosplay. Big help thank you.

[@TheError202]

can you tell me what the Tools you used bin called?

[@mimiv3088]

Measurements for the pattern?

[@Halberen73]

What type\thickness of leather were you using?

[@kantill]

Nicely done sir

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@robertbrunston5406]

Looks awesome! Great job.

[@randalstone]

Great video, and a great project, but the granny knot at the end drives me nuts. ;)

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks lol

[@JoseRamos-gv2kj]

can you please make one with Blue Eyes White Dragon. id buy one.

[@softhands77]

Awesome!!! Love the dragon!!!!!

[@dodenStjerne]

Where do you get your leather

[@jazzofalltrades7937]

This is pretty sick and I for one love that you made the dragon towards you 😂 I don't Care if everyone else can't tell what it is. It's right side up to me. I'd like looking at my artwork. Great work bro. And the music is fun too. Over here tapping my feet the whole time.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@kcrubber]

And I'm talking The cutting pattern not the drawing pattern of the dragon cuthe pattern for the armed guard itself how did you drive at that

[@flagglewis996]

What kind of grommets did you use?

[@AstridRohan]

Great video. Any possibility of getting the template uploaded to Imgur or something?

[@andrewholdaway813]

Love the medieval rivets

[@rorykijas3611]

where do you buy the leather that you use in this video?

[@Hawthorneowl]

I really like the video! Great job,

[@artstone3924]

Nice piece - but I thought that the dragon should have been right-side up, so others could see and know what it was.

[@jimkoonce6574]

Awesome, great music also!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@michaelhorton7684]

Where can I get the template for this? Or how do I measure to make my own template?

[@dearmingsacayanan]

bad ass work, bad ass music. what's the title and what band sir ?

[@calebsiebenaler7087]

So I have a set of gauntlets I just purchased and then run pretty badly on my wrist. How do I soften the edges up so they don't rub as bad??

[@prowokator]

What did you use to transfer the image? Is that a normal pencil and what kind of paper (plastic?) is that?

[@StinkyDonkeyFilms]

what price would I be looking at for a pair of those and the adjustable belt on your double sheath rig.?thanks

[@JDOCustomLeather]

$125 each.

[@maxjustmax1409]

Nice music and great work!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@LivingArtsCo]

Two words, : Nice work.
