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

I remade my very first video that had horrible resolution, I always wanted to do this, here we go!

[@weightlifter59]

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

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@kristi8484]

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

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem

[@mikegrossberg8624]

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

[@RavenVargas27]

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

[@IpentagrammatonI]

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

[@troynorris5764]

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

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@troynorris5764]

Thank you

[@vicenteramos8498]

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

[@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.

[@Dldmny]

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

[@patrickt3228]

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

[@Norgesla]

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

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Lorraine Twyman thanks

[@khaledassaf6356]

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

[@isabellaguerrero5194]

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

[@thefeatheredheart9455]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@MetalSkinDIY]

Good music 🤘🏼 and good job 👌🏼

[@stevenellis9801]

That is quite beautiful work there my friend.

[@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.

[@guitarsarge]

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

[@jonlawrence7866]

beautiful! music i thought was appropriate.. at least it wasnt dubstep like every other vid on YT

[@JDOCustomLeather]

I make the music too, thanks.

[@vedadtr3509]

Horns up mate

[@LivingArtsCo]

Two words, : Nice work.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@Lostboy779]

You’re a kick ass artist. Keep it up.

[@seanharmon1988]

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

[@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...

[@paulopaulo1113]

wouawww génial un vrais régale pour nos yeux merci. Paulo

[@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?

[@RebeckaHellman]

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

[@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

[@molan1998oif]

[@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

[@johnbutler2231]

Great piece, thanks for sharing.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

No problem

[@jimkoonce6574]

Awesome, great music also!

[@Hawthorneowl]

I really like the video! Great job,

[@beowoofthemoviestar]

Cool dragon pattern

[@reallychosen8976]

Awesome video and music !!!

[@Simple5.0]

That dragon is smiling

[@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.

[@softhands77]

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

[@Kv-pk2st]

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

[@rkm461]

Very cool 😎

[@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

[@prichard6836]

You sure are better than me!

[@andrewholdaway813]

Love the medieval rivets

[@Lucyfaeria]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for the inspiration and the information to make it happen!

[@snaggletooth4933]

I love t-shirt of "masters of reality"!

[@artstone3924]

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

[@Collihan93]

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

[@midnighttacos09]

You should have added measurements and a list of things people would have needed to make this

[@johnivantorresvaron2109]

Le quedo mu genial super

[@gtrout5789]

Very good work my friend! Keep doing it! :)

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@TheRokkis]

Thank you! You're going out of business now since I saw this! No but seriously thanks, need to make some staging props and this was very helpful!

[@joshbender8594]

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@jonnyelgalloprieto8326]

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

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@GoldArmored]

Great turorial + great tune! \m/ I prefer to use a sheep wool piece to apply the waterbased ecoflo to make it more uniform, but for medieval stuff the dauber creates a nice ''old, beaten-up leather'' effect! Awesome!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@zarikgsxr9308]

verry beautiful

[@kumasan812]

Nice, perhaps next time you can make the dragon face the other way(feet towards the wrist)?

[@Gonzo3313]

Great job!

[@kantill]

Nicely done sir

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@rickveaks1546]

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

[@shelladomiquel6466]

Awesome!!!!

[@denisdenzel7843]

Great work man! Looks like it fits forearm pretty well! By the way - I like music in this video very much. May I know the name it? TIA!

[@blackbeard68]

Great work!

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@nathanmccullough7884]

I've seen real leather strips before, but never that look as smooth as that. Sorry for the dumb question, but is that real leather, or a thick foam that you painted to look like leather?

[@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.

[@uliseslopez4639]

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)

[@henriquesantos.official]

Perfect...

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@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!

[@sistersstudios984]

Can you please tell me what the name of the stuff you used? And will it fit the youngters? Epic music by the way.

[@randalstone]

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

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

[@cjdogs69]

Badass. Like the lace design man. What do you use as a sealer for the inside? I made a few smaller ones lined with pigskin and the die leaches out onto your skin. Tried a few things and no dice. trying Tankote next.

[@JDOCustomLeather]

Thanks

[@mikegrossberg8624]

Have you tried Tandy's Resolene?

[@rpetersen2]

Been told by every channel I watch you just shouldn't dye the side touching your skin especially because of sweating but also if worn over tunics or clothing leeching can occur so only dye the top and edges carefully!

[@mikegrossberg8624]

@@rpetersen2 DON't dye the underside! Aside from the fact that NO ONE is ever going to see it except you, dyes WILL run. Leave the underside bare

Am I the only one who feels like the dragon is upside down?

[@Daniel_Verner]

Looks awesome, what thickness of leather do you use for something like this?

[@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
