[@MakerOnTheMove]

I wore my Seymour Makebetter skullcap while watching this. Great project!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you very much ! :)

[@cloudbubbles168]

Omg! I have finally found a Great tutorial on making a Headdress!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you ! Very happy you like it.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

First! Coming along great! Didn't know they had super glue way back when LOL!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Lol. Boiled rabbit skin is pretty much the super glue of that time. But, it smells very bad, so I went with modern stuff ;) Thanks for watching Tom !

[@adamthoen8823]

Just wanted to let you know that I will certainly be using this design for a protective bonnet to go under my chainmail coif rather than a headdress. This tutorial was the only one that I've found that is even remotely like what I need. As I really only wear my chainmail during the Ren-Faire season it gets rather hot, and I would rather not have a repeat of chain patterned sunburn on my head again. Thank you.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

No problem, use anything you want. Thank for noticing me. I'm glad I can help you avoid a nasty sunbrun next summer. ;)

[@chybz]

Nice stitching !

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you Sir !

[@Shopcat22]

I get more excited with every part of this build. Is that a special glue that is used on the seems?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you ! No, just crazy glue with activator to keep the part from falling appart during the sewing ;)

[@HABU]

Nice!

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you Habu ! Much appreciated ;)

[@Ronin-ke5wm]

Excellent video. Can I please ask what weight / thickness leather you use for the cap?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks a lot. I used 2.0mm thick leather for the cap. Hope it helps. Thanks for watching!

[@jawbum2]

great job. how would attach buffalo horns fro a horned headdress

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you. I did it once for a helmet. You would have to drill tiny holes all around the horns and then stitch them to the helmet, then hide the stitching with some fur. Fun process but drilling horns smell terrible. Be sure to wear all the required PPE. Thanks for watching!

[@samaker4]

I like the butt glue joint. I'm going to have to ty that some time. Great video.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

If you have a chance to work with leather, just do it. So fun ! And not as hard at it seems ;)

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

ho, thanks for the link ! I missed that one because it was one your second channel. Just subbed ! :)

[@samaker4]

thanks!

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Yesss 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thanks Bro ! :)

[@TheRushOfItAll]

Beautifully done. Can you tell me the name of that stitch? I'd like to look it up so I can learn the technique.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Thank you. I think it's called Cross stitching. It makes it very strong.

[@TheRushOfItAll]

@@RedSmithWorkshop Thank you! May I ask what weight the leather for the bonnet is?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

@@TheRushOfItAll I used 2mm thick soft vegetable leather. I hope it helps😊

[@TheRushOfItAll]

@@RedSmithWorkshop That's perfect! Thanks so much! And again, your entire project is beautiful.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

@@TheRushOfItAll Thank you😊

[@camillesennegon]

les coutures ne sont pas génantes depuit l'intérieur ? sinon super boulot j'aime beaucoup 😀

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Non, le bonnet est légèrement plus large que ma tête pour qu'elles ne gênent pas.

[@graceginnish3095]

where can I purchase a headdress crown?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

This one is handmade to my size, and considering time and materials, it would be very expensive. A lot of online shops sell headdresses.

[@aazul5499]

What is that leather thing called?

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Vegetable tanned leather. It's in the description of the video.

[@chadfrommancraftingtm5734]

No Birkey Hats were harmed in the making of this video.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Zactly ! would say Andy ;)
