How to Make A Leather Pirate Treasure Map / World Map For Skully - Leatherworking

[@skullandspade]

Amazing work Red. Can’t say it enough. 🖤🖤🖤

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot Brett. I hope Skully will find his way back home very soon :)

[@Vault57]

I agree with Andy Birkey’s comment. This was a perfect video for KZbin. It told a story, created an interesting item, stayed in a reasonable timeframe and provides a bit of mystery to hold viewer interest. All while showing the viewer “how to make a pirate map”. Well done sir, well played.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much for your great feedback, I truly appreciate it :)

[@alekseyevets]

When I seen the thumbnail and clicked on your video I thought you were use a laser to engrave the leather but wow you did it all by hand pretty impressive love it

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much. If I had a laser engraver, I would probably have used it, but for a pirate themed leather map, handmade gives a more authentic look :) Thanks again for watching!

[@bullandtimber]

I absolutely love this video and especially the map! A little bit of humor and a whole lot of skill, I want one just like it!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you !! Happy you liked it :)

[@chybz]

Aye Red ! Absolutely fantastic video, awesome craft ! Really liked it, thank you !

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Aye Remy, thank you very much. Glad you liked it. More to come soon ;)

[@reforzar]

Holy smokes. This is awesome. Great intro/outro. I loved it.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you Brian. It was a bit unsual for me, but very fun to do :)

[@MGMakes]

Dude that such a intricate project. I don't think I have seen this done before. I am glad you were able to assist scully. 👊👊

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much!! I hope Skully will be back home safe shortly ;)

[@ragtie6177]

Hahaha... This is a very enjoyable and entertaining video! It is a beautiful Map that looks so appropriately real! I loved this. Well done.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot Rad. I'm happy you liked it and it entertained you. Thanks a great reward for me. Thank you for you for you kind words. Take care :)

[@JustFoolingAround]

Oh man, I Love this Red (if I may call you Red). So much great stuff here, video, music, mystery... the map is so so cool, we will be playing pirates all weekend.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Off course, you can !! Thank you very much. Guess what I was playing with the kid yesterday ;) Have a great time together !! :)

[@danthemakerman]

Good to see you have fun in the shop nice work!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot Dan :)

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

I think you just made the perfect Maker KZbin video.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you so much for your kind words Andy. It's far from perfect, but your comment made my day :)

[@Vault57]

Agreed

[@masterofnone]

Just re watched the video. First time I was in the car and did not get to comment. I have to say great work on the map and the video Red. Thank you

[@andrewreid4337]

A great finished piece, makes me want to go and get a burner now. Also love the pieces of eight, nice touch!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot. A pyro pen is a great addition to the shop. Very fun to use. And thanks for getting the reference ;)

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Absolutely amazing G... I can't even begin to describe how much I love this

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much Ellen. I truly appreciate that :)

[@FOMI1970]

Drawing this map 3 times must have been a tedious thing , but the result was worthy , beautiful map.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

It was indeed a bit tedious, but when it's for a friend... :) Thank you very much.

[@GvendurE]

This is amazing. You are giving me so much inspiration to start doing some leather work. You are the man. Hope to shake your hand at maker central.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Guðmundur Einarsson Thank you very much!! If I did inspire you to start leatherworking, my job is done😊 And I hope you will come and shake my hand. I'll be the french guy with a "The Redsmith" hoodie 😉

[@adventureDad1976]

Great job!!! Dude this looks soooo awesome

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much!

[@MrGeoffreySmith]

Loved it! I didn't realise that the heat would effect the leather so quickly ☠😀

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you Mr.Smith!! It's really quick, so you have to be carefull not to overbun it, otherwise, back to square one ;)

[@jackspearsiii5639]

Awesome work as usual Red!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much Jack :)

[@davebauerart]

Beautiful and awesome. That looks so great and you have such patience to accomplish that detail.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much!! Patience, Practice and Passion. 3P to accomplish cool stuff ;)

[@ManCrafting]

Upping the video game. I like it. Story, you're in it, b roll. Great job! I'm trying to do the same. So I notice these things. That's a heck of a lot of cool props for the video. Love the idea. Last time, are you coming to the UK in May for Maker's Central. It won't be the same without Red there.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

ManCraftingTM Thank you very much Chad. Glad you noticed. Of course I'll be there!!! 😊

[@darnelljohnson5313]

Amazing work Great matching music

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot!!

[@AndyCPugh]

That is such an amazing build and video I'm not even sure if I am worthy enough to watch it.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you Andy. You totally are. Not sure I'm worthy this very kind comment though :)

[@MakingHuertasstuff]

Awesome. Great job

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Making HUERTAS Stuff Thank you very much!!😊☠

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

Nice video! Loved the detailing. If you choose to do it again, I have an idea for further details to give it a more "authentic" look. The edge of the map was too "clean", it would give it some extra, if it was "flossed" like it had been in heavy use for years and looked worn. I think this could be achieved with a grading iron - or what it's called (the kitchen tool for ripping up vegetables).

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot. You're right, and that's usually what I do for my treasure maps but this time I wanted a square map, with only a "live" corner. Personal preference for this build :) Thank for watching.

[@MakingItOutOfTheWoods]

Hee hee awesome!!! Loved it.great video and amazing map! Sooo cool 🌲🦊🌲💕

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot Claire !! Much appreciated :)

[@uritwice2279]

**when you searched treasure map to watch treasure's pre-debut moments but you ended up on a video of someone making a treasure map**

[@uatu3021]

Cool project, can you please tell me what thickness of leather used, thanks.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much. It was 2.6mm thick cow hide :)

[@uatu3021]

Thank you for responding in millimeters and not weight. I am an American but they make us use some absurd measuring methods.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

You're welcome Erik. I'm from France and I agree. I'm sure there is a reason but when it comes to leather thickness, mm is the way to go :)

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Words fail me.... Excellent!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much!!

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

👍👍👍now I want to bail on work and either watch Jack or grab some leather........♥️

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Grab some leather, go to work, and watch Jack there. Possible ?

[@GibClark]

The Redsmith no.... control panel rewire...

[@lys2599]

I love your videos! keep it up!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Annie LeagueOfLegends Thank you very much. I will 😊

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Oh, thank you, that's very kind of you to say. It will maybe happen one day. But I'd be very happy to reach 100 000 ;)

[@elodied5291]

Quel chouette rendu ! Est-ce que tu recommandes une température particulière pour le pyrograveur ? J'imagine que ça dépend du type de cuir etc, mais faut -il éviter un certain degrés ? Merci d'avance !

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Merci ! Mon pyrograveur n'a pas de réglage de température.Il faut juste bien connaître l'outil et faire des essais sur différentes pièces de cuir. L' important est de ne pas trop s'attarder sur le cuir lorsqu'il est fin. On peut toujours refroidir le fer en le passant sur une éponge humide

[@elodied5291]

@@RedSmithWorkshop Super merci pour l'astuce !

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Great job Red! Looks amazing... I feel left out though, Vancouver island disappeared from your map... is it where the X is and you didn’t want everyone to know? Thanks for sharing your process, I really enjoyed it!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you Tomy !! Well, it's a very old map you know...and you're right, I can reveal the location of the treasure on KZbin just like that ;)

[@hinatardsm842]

Superbe réalisation j’adore ^^ Serait il possible de connaître la marque du stylo pyrograveur? Merci ^^

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Merci beaucoup !! Je ne connais pas la marque mais c'est un kit de pyrogravure acheté sur amazon pour moins de 20 euros. Le premier (et le moins cher) que vous trouverez dans sur Amazon ou dans votre boutique de loisir créatif fera parfaitement l'affaire. ;)

[@hinatardsm842]

D’accord merci, c’est juste que je ne vois pas les même types d’embout sur internet. D’ailleurs prenez vous des stagiaires?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Laurina DA SILVA MOURA Je pense que celui-ci a les mêmes embouts ainsi que d'autres pour un prix raisonnable. Malheureusement non, je n'aurais pas les moyens de vous payer. Mais merci de la proposition -😊

[@hinatardsm842]

D’accord merci de l’information. Sinon étant encore étudiante j’ai l’habitude des stages non rémunéré mais une simple aide pour le logement peu aider ^^ Je trouve juste votre travail de qualité ce qui est pas forcément facile à trouver

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

C'est très gentil et j'apprécie beaucoup. Malheureusement ce n'est pas possible pour le moment, mais si jamais c'était le cas, je penserai à vous. Merci encore.

[@ghostangel224redalphawolf5]

Wow this is stunning work amazing

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much!!

[@deanransom2350]

Very nice work. I am going to try one of these but carving and tooling instead of burning. Q: It wasn't obvious to me where the X marks the spot treasure location was, unless it was the second compass point where the radiating bearings intersected the main compass bearing lines. Or maybe this was not a specific treasure map, just a more general map a Pirate captain might have. Anyway, very nice work. I would be interested in where you found the various maps you used as a template. Thanks for sharing.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot Dean. It was a general map for a friend to find his way back home. I found some interesting maps on Google, some other I adapted or designed it myself. Thanks fro watching.

[@Ghostbull26]

I would like to do something like this. i wish there was a little more info. thickness of leather and what types of dye were used.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

You just need to ask :)

[@bobherrik4138]

Loved the intro

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you!! :)

[@okutet]

Hahaha nice intro. You got those guns in Japan with the box?? Very Nice project.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

okutet Thanks a lot. Yes I bought the pirate guns in Japan and made the box myself 😊

[@briancox7534]

Amazing craftsmanship, love to copy your work 😊

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot. I share my work to inspire people to make, so, please, do it! :)

[@seanbeauchamp6102]

Great video! I was wondering, what temp are you burning at?? Thanks!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you! I have no idea. I'm using a soldering iron with no temperature regulation. The depth and colors nuances are obtainted with experience :) Thanks for watching!

[@VeryCoolStuffForYouGuys]

I loved that, thanks! :)

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!!

cool, yeah I'll be there too. Lets meet up!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Cool!! We will ! :)

[@GBLW]

What type of cow hide did you use was it veg tanned and of what thickness etc...? It looked like it was treated of some sort. And also what was the second stain the lighter creamy stuff? Great video I loved it gave me some great ideas and will make one of these maps for sure

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot! To make this map, I chose 2.4mm thick cow hide, used a pyro pen to permanently engrave the map, dyed the leather with leather dye using a sponge to create the effect you see in the video, and applied two coats of leather oil to protect the leather.

[@ravenrodriguez4244]

Gorgeous

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you!!

[@Schacht197]

What type of oil was used towards the end? I love the color it brought out!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks. It's leather Neatsfood oil.

Thanks. I'm streching the leather to soften it a little before working on it.

[@bobherrik4138]

You're incredible nice vids

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Much appreciated!!

[@naarbin]

It must've been an excruciatingly long process to get all the contours righ. Mr Skelly should be satysfied with the results 😁

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

It took some time to do it right, but it was totally worth the work. I hope he finds his way home now ;) Thanks a lot for watching!!

[@NavigatedChaos]

I am not a leather worker. This actually looked like something a beginner could do if they had the tools.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

It is. You just need some leather, tracing paper, a tracer, pyro pen, some dye and oil and a lot of patience ;)

[@carsonburkhart6422]

How large of a map can you do? We have a print out on our wall that looks like trash tbh and I wanted to get my wife a real leather world map to replace it for our 3 year anniversary.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

I can only make a map as large as the hide I can find. They are usually 1.8 square meter but cutting a rectangle out of is would reduce the size. I think I could do a map twice or three time bigger than the one you saw in the video.

[@carsonburkhart6422]

The Redsmith what about something like 55"x88"?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

I don't think I can find a hide this big. The biggest one I bought was around 30"x45". For a bigger map, I would have to use vegetable tanned leather, which would look completely different.

[@dontworryaboutit8213]
