Making a Leather Archery Arm Guard With Inlay

[@HonestDoubter]

I have been doing leather for about 10 years - and I have to say - your plans and processes are solid. Could someone with more experience make a cleaner product - sure. But you made this yourself and it not only functions but very cool. I think you did an amazing job on this.

HonestDoubter Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

So nick ,if you split your sinew you'll get a neater looking stitch line and it will set more flush with your leather and wont wear .just a little advice from a leather craftsman and bowyer to another ,the same information was shared with me and was told to share what I learn ,paying it forward friend

[@medeasoak9964]

Cheers, mate! I ordered one of these, same style, from Mandarin Duck. But I have skinny forearms and need to shorten the length of bungee cord they used. Your video gave me the know-how and confidence to do that. Thank you :)

[@BackyardBowyer]

Awesome! Glad the video was a help!

[@crsed]

Is there anything you don't make !?!?! Dude you are awesome !!!

[@muddog1561]

I like the way you put the bands on this better than my store bought arm guard are.

[@kullcraven]

Very nice Job Nick, sweet arm gaurd. thanks for the tutorial well done and explained.

[@cheap0thrillz]

I love your videos and this arm guard is a great design. Just one tip with cutting leather, it is easier and your blade stays sharp longer if you cut on glass.

[@BackyardBowyer]

Hans Erken I did not know that, thanks for the tip!

[@cartergregg1018]

Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

completely enjoyed your arm guard video. i hadn't realized the extent of your skills ,being versatile is better than having a ph.d . if i had to relocate to a new planet you and your skills would top on my list . if you have any likewise videos please share them. thank you.

[@philochristos]

Nice job, Nick! I'm gonna make one. I think I'm going to line it with suede for comfort.

[@patscnr]

Hey Nick I really enjoy your vids. You build some awesome things!

[@mysticmac2905]

Looks pretty sweet.

[@photozaets77]

Good job, skilful hands!

[@KustomFu]

wow you're psychic, I was thinking about looking up how to do this

[@MrMicha3ls]

Hell yeah! Me too

[@albinotatertot]

You should try melting the ends of the elastic. I know that is what you do with paracord, but I am not sure how it would go with elastic, but I think it would have roughly the same result....

[@SNIPERL0V3]

looks awesome

[@JoLuffiroSauce]

[@JackDaniel-ou1fz]

Hey man which is stronger fiber rods or pvc inlays

[@wyzkrax]

what tool did you use to cut the lines for your stitching?

[@draven3838]

Nice style simple is best10 -12 oz would be to thick ,a 7-8oz would be optimal weight ,most of us archers use 5-6oz and it works well

[@theurbanabo]

NICE, thank you! I will use your video as inspiration! Two thumbs up! :)

[@tommy988lo]

I even liked the video before watching!!!

[@jabald43]

Awesome!!!

[@youngprepper3673]

do you ever sell these?

[@TheMushroomMan]

Awesome

[@wyzkrax]

What type of glue do you use?

[@BackyardBowyer]

I used Barge contact cement. Almost any contact cement would work. I used a rotary scoring tool to mark the stitching holes. You can also use the tines on a fork to get equal spacing.
