Always great to watch you work.

[@salazar4810]

Man I missed theese. Great video as always. :)

[@mikaelm6404]

Nice to see you are back and working again. 👍

[@luissengl8436]

Thanks for the new video. Love the new audio.

[@ptonpc]

Great to see you back. I hope life is better. Yes I like the audio being added later.

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Cheers mate. Thanks for the feedback.

[@santasquatch]

Thank you so much for making these videos! They have been a great source of knowledge for me starting on my armoring journey. My favorite parts are the tools. I don't have near the setup yet, but when I come to a challenge often the project gets put on hold to make another tool (stake, smaller dish, another hammer, etc.) and it's great to see some of yours to gather inspiration. I hope to see more videos like this (or in your old format) in the future. Don't get discouraged by the view counts, not everyone is an armorer or appreciates the craft but the ones who do REALLY appreciate your work. From my forge in Indiana I thank you for sharing your inspiration and knowledge.

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Thanks mate.

[@AshandStoneNZ]

Good to see you back Graham. I liked the voice over, very clear and informative as always. I hope life continues on the up for you.

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Thanks mate. It'll be fine I'm sure :)

[@anthonyclare6750]

I love your work mate, thank you so much. You inspire me. Bravo

[@lotticusification]

It’s good to see you back, and as always Thank you for your knowledge and videos. I will always watch when ever you decide or are able to put something out. I hope you injuries are on the mend.

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Cheers mate, I have a few different technique ones being edited up at the moment.

[@TheAssassin409]

Glad to have you back on KZbin. I like this longer form of video. maybe i should get back in the shop and finish the pair of greaves ive been procrastinating on for the past few months. XD

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Yes you should ;) and thanks for the feedback.

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

You dont tend to see padding on greaves. But in this video these are too tight. I opened them up a but after. The idea is to get the principle shape sorted first :)

[@juliogonzalez8863]

Thank you for you knowledge and experience. I always learn from your videos. I'm happy to see you making videos again.

[@bobvines00]

Graham, it's good to "see you" back in the workshop! I'm sorry to hear about your loss -- I went through the same loss about 20 years ago. :( And, like many others here, I look forward to many more videos in the future. Hearing your thoughts about how to make a piece of armour, whether they are "voice-overs" or "live," are always educational and very worthwhile!

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

NOt been the nest of times, but this to will pass :) Thanks for your kind words.

[@bobvines00]

@@GreenleafWorkshop Graham, do you plan to make any more videos? I certainly hope that you are able to, in the not too distant future!

[@garycross228]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your father Graham. I must confess, the back half of the greave is probably the most difficult piece of armour to make convincingly with all of those tight compound curves. You make it look so easy! I wish it was. I am not as experienced as you and lack such a well equipped workshop (I use formers made from Modroc plaster bandage filled with ready mixed concrete!). Wishing you a speedy recovery and am interested in seeing how the two halves of the greaves go together. I'm trying to make some gothic leg armour with pointed sabatons and multi lamed cuisse with loads of fleur-de-lyse detailing, so any advice is appreciated!

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

I'm making some greaves sometime soon, I will try and remember to film the two halves going together.

[@pieguy5692]

Great to see you back on KZbin! I like the format with the audio recorded afterwards, it ensures it's easy to listen to and allows you to talk over parts you wouldn't normally be able to because of focus or sound. Great video as always!

[@michaelhearn3831]

Great to have you back....really missed these...I’m not a smith i don’t metal work but I really enjoy watching your craftsmanship skills and learning from you one I might..🤷🏼‍♂️😂.... but I am amazed at how fitted the armour will be I thought there would be more room for padding..?

[@felix.der.ritter]

Thank you for this Video

[@vladimirsuigetsu6167]

"I forgot what I did next so just watch me a moment" that got me laughing

[@craigclose8008]

Ive been making armor thanks to you! You haven't posted i a while i hope you are doing okay. Could you make a video on how to make pauldrons?

[@knutzzl]

Dubbing the vocals works. But i doo miss not being able to hear how hard you are hitting the work And i may need to make some greave backs next week so perfect timing ,👍🏻

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Glad its helpful. No I understand how to do the recirding I hope to do a bit of bith in future videos.

[@bobvines00]

Graham, do you plan to make any more videos? Regardless, I hope that you and your family are well.

[@aleaciondehistoria]

details that go unnoticed by those who do not wear armor, but are the mark of a good blacksmith, great job!

[@GreenleafWorkshop]

Thanks very much, always learning :)

[@NoradNar]

Do you create a form of leg (made with ortho tape) from leg directly or leg+ padding?

[@nightphall6810]

Is your casting mold done over whatever they are wearing under the armor? I am finally starting to make some pieces. I spent the last several weeks fixing armor at our local ren fair. Full contact fighters kept breaking theirs and it got me the bug again.

[@Hathathorne]

My weakness.... numbers. Just bash metal and it work good.
