[@SkillTree]

Thank you so much! These were a lot of fun to make. Thanks for watching!

[@familywilliams4058]

I love all your leather videos.

[@SkillTree]

Thank you so much! That means a lot! 😁

[@ImaginationHobbies]

I gotta say I've been leatherworking on and off for 10 years and you picked up on everything pretty quickly! Posted some stuff I made on my channel.

[@lindseygorley8302]

Looks great! You can also wet your leather before dying, it will help it go on more evenly. Or put on a coat of diluted dye, using the appropriate diluter. Alcohol based diluter for alcohol based dyes, and water for water based dyes then add another coat of undiluted dye while its still wet.

Must have watched near 30 times today, just can't stop LOLing Bloody rippa mate lol Well done such a good build, we are all very lucky you are here puttng in so much effort to help everyone gain sooo much knowledge Thank you mate. You are totally awesome

[@SkillTree]

Thanks for all the help, Wol!

[@GhostofAtlantis]

Thank you for linking the rivets. Every other leather tutorial just mentions them, but the ones I've bought aren't durable enough.

[@redwolf2901]

Great vid :D , one of the best leather working tutorials on KZbin, intend to follow your leather working tutorials in the near future.

[@SkillTree]

I hope you share your results! I would love to see what you come up with 😁

[@vortex514]

Well done sir! Well done!

[@1guncrazy1]

Helmet, cuirass, bracers, and greaves...i know you have a shield, sword, and a bow/arrows. Seems you're fully kitted out. Only thing i can see you're missing is a sword belt and scabbard

[@SkillTree]

🤔.. you're right. Gonna have to fix that! Thanks for watching 😁

[@rustyshackleford7690]

Thanks for sharing the tilted line stamping... I was doing it the dumb way too...

[@geoffallert1921]

Don't worry, mate. Us Aussies have heard worse.:) Enjoyed your video, looking forward to the next one.

[@mrbrockowitz]

I have literally been up all night binge watching this videos. They are amazing and detailed the right way. It makes it so easy for an add brain to follow along thanks for making them

[@e-bear6268]

I enjoy all the leather working videos :)

[@SkillTree]

Thank you for the love and for watching!

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

Great video as always. Loved the idea for using graph paper for designs. And your method for the template was actually pretty genius. Another way you can get that edge border, is with a groover tool. They usually have an adjustable arm, so you can set a distance like the wing divider, but it actually cuts the groove as you're going.

[@SkillTree]

Great tip! I had only been using it to set a stitch line. Thanks for the advice and for watching!

[@thecraftysouthpaw]

These turned out great! Love your videos!

[@SkillTree]

Thank you for the love and for watching 🐒👍

[@Tomacazy17]

Those are awsome man they turned out great I'm slightly jealous lol awsome video man

[@SkillTree]

That just means it's time for you to overshadow them with your amazing creations! Hope you share when you do! Thank you for your continuing support!

[@hagermannre3]

I know you've probably done this, but you can also draw half the sketch, scan and flip the image on a computer... but great video. I've been learning alot from you.

[@davidmayo7119]

They look great, keep up the good work.

[@bossskelton211]

Fascinating and satisfying as always

[@SkillTree]

Thanks for the love! 😁👍

[@ethanevans1905]

Hey man! Great videos! One of the best how too leather working channels on the web. Would REALLY love to see you make Kidney/War Belt.

[@SkillTree]

Great idea! I will ABSOLUTELY add it to the list! Thanks for watching😁👍

[@Scalesthelizardwizard]

Love the video

[@paulhooper8635]

Stick with the Pro Dye. You will get more consistent colour across projects

[@Alagachak]

Lol! Without seeing it anywhere, having used the plasticwraptape-technique in the past I was thinking yesterday about 'Wouldnt foil do an even better job?' Glad to see it worked so well. Also, guess what my next project is? ...yeah... greaves. Hillarious coincidence :D Got to send you a pic once I get done, which admittedly will take awhile given this weekend gonna go to fixing car. Bleh. Keep up the good work!

[@SkillTree]

Isn't it funny how that works?!? I feel like stuff like that happens to me all the time. Can't wait to see what you make!🐒👍

[@rockinrswoodshop]

Great job dude! Soon you will have a complete set done up!

[@SkillTree]

Here's hoping! Thanks for the love😁

[@kristiannahartsen6578]

Dude, your page is totally dope! The work you do is great, you're break downs are concise yet informative, the added clips or gifs are on point and I can totally tell you're around my age with the references lol, and you have a great sense of humor! What pulled me in is I'm in the beginnings of learning all this leather crafting too and I've also made my own bow...but lamely out of PVC pipe, but it works pretty effectively Keep up the awesomeness, if I think of anything down the line I'll be sure to comment! 👍

[@HikuroMishiro]

Not sure if it's enough to warrant its own video, but it might be cool to add a 'clean up' segment the next time you work with dye and the like. Proper cleaning of brushes helps maintain their lifespan and there might be certain things like acrylic paint where the dirty water might best not be put down the drain.

[@SkillTree]

Great points to bring up! I have some leather vids that I worry will be short. That would be a perfect tip to add in! Thanks for the idea and for watching!

[@minimalmike1410]

Heck yeah! Thank you so much

[@SkillTree]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@CorsoWorkshop]

Great project as always! :D

[@SkillTree]

Thanks brother!

[@lordscan1047]

Hello, My request would be leather armor boots.. awesome videos btw

[@abacusgeek7903]

Australia forgives you! Great job.

[@KevinLockamy]

Request: Leg waxing. There, it has been requested, it must now be added to the list.😁😋

[@dragonscaskentertainment5139]

Looks awesome! Keep it up! Now, about waxing the legs...

[@SkillTree]

Oh god.... that would be an ORDEAL 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@redwolf2901]

Great vid, how’s about maybe doing the skills metalwork/woodworking by forging a sword or axe.

[@SkillTree]

Or BOTH! 😁 I am looking to do an axe firstn as I can fit that in my current forge. I may need to upgrade to something a little larger before I make a sword. Thanks for the request and for watching!

[@redwolf2901]

Skill Tree That’s great, would love to see you make that. Could even etch the metal work with a design too. 😁

[@davidd.9200]

Great vid.

[@SkillTree]

Thanks for watching!

[@tonsonbloodaxe2605]

oh hells yes!!!!!!

[@therealcitrus2532]

"when did you last fight with swords?" Wednesday, I do fencing.

[@SkillTree]

🤣 Touche!

[@VyseRogue13]

Wonder how the armor set would look now if he remade it.

[@zedzknight]

Hey, awesome job!, I have been Leatherworking for 2 years now, Check out Dark Horse Workshop he has some good videos that you can learn some more from. A suggestion I would make is getting an Airbrush. I just discovered how freaking awesome it is for dyeing your leather. You can get that really professional looking fades on your leather, Like the dark brown edge to a lighter brown center. Another easy trick to help with your edge beveling, Bees Wax. It works really well and it's cheap. I can't wait for your next video!

[@SkillTree]

Great tip! I am definitely going to invest in an airbrush. Do you have any recommendations? I LOVE darkhorse. His artwork inspires me 😁👍. Thanks for watching!

[@zedzknight]

I personally own a few, you average eBay special is good for a starter, I like gravity-fed one (just a cup on the top you pour into). They normally are pretty cheap like sub 100$, aim for one that comes with a compressor, hose, really the whole kit (your paying for the compressor). As for Good Airbrushes, there are a couple good companies, Like Badger, Paasche, Harder & Steenbeck, the one that gets talked about the most is Iwata, I personally own 3 Iwata, 2 Neo-CN (gravity fed, one for SPX Makeup, one for leather) and an Eclipse HP-BCS (siphon or bottle). I really want to get an Iwata HP-CS which is a Gravity fed version of the previous model I mentioned. The big difference between a Neo and an Eclipse is the price and quality. The Neo is a Starter and has a really small easy to lose Fluid Nozzle(its threaded and maybe 1/8 of an inch or smaller), which makes clean up and maintenance harder as its hard to clean the paint chamber if you forget to clean out your airbrush. The Eclipse has a larger and much easier to clean fluid nozzle (pressure fit). Shop around and do your research, any airbrush is better than no airbrush.

[@timjordan6342]

Do you could have just folded the paper in half and it would have left an imprint that you could trace

[@donaldmcdaniel1773]

👍👍👍👍

[@stimpymcwhisky8129]

Missed a line beveling

[@shannonbailey4317]

How often do we use swords LOL come to Birmingham Alabama and you can watch us use a real swords we use everyday you should come it'll be loads of fun to teach you how to use real ones

[@SkillTree]

You don't have to threaten me with a good time! That sounds AMAZING

[@shannonbailey4317]
