Dude I literally just watched someone else make pretty much the exact same thing and she had almost 1 mil views on it. You need to get a model to wear your stuff for the reveals and thumbnails and I guarantee you'd get 10 times more views! LOL

[@garnetnelson1419]

How about not being stingy with the model in the thumbnail’s social media links lol

[@fernandochavez4312]

I always enjoy how easy someone, who has mastered a craft, can make it look so easy. Especially when we no it really isn’t. Thank you.

My wife and I have been waiting for this pattern to come out. She's wanting us to have matching family armor

[@Princearmory]

Nice, I hope you'll share the results when you're done!

[@Morenoscrafts]

We definitely will

[@Morenoscrafts]

Where did you get the forming dome tool? It would work great for us and I'd love to get one

[@harpodjangorose9696]

Gilbert Moreno - You could check Tapp Plastics for half globes with a variety of sizes. They start to get pricey as they get bigger though. If you prefer metal to plastic and have some tools that’ll polish metal, a trailer hitch from the junkyard would be a bit cheaper.

I love someones idea of family armor, that would be cool to get good enough to make a couple suits! Thank you for these, it is fun to watch and inspires us to go try it for ourselves!

Yeah I really like the idea too, I hope to see every family create their house and have their own troops haha

Absolutely Amazing! And such detail in your explanation. I appreciate your intentions and your work, I appreciate you.

[@raaili1954]

Thank you so much for this pattern!! I bought the beta version to make my Halloween costume. I went on to purchase the pattern for the original lone you made, it was EXACTLY what I had been looking for in my armor for my character. Imagine my surprise and excitement to see this! I used the pattern with EVA foam and it worked beautifully. I didn’t add all the details of the pattern like I wanted due to time constraints, but it still looked amazing and am so excited to make again for a “finished” set of armor. Beautiful! I appreciate the hard work you put in to creating/making this! ❤️

[@jerrycarter3963]

Absolutely beautifully workmanship, what a GREAT video to watch! I will be back!

Not only are your videos incredibly helpful and informative, they are also supremely satisfying to watch. And you have a lovely voice. Is that a weird thing to say? I hope not? I just mean that I find it very calming to listen to you. Thank you for doing what you do, and for being so willing to share it with us. Us totally non-creepy internet strangers.

this will also work with craftfoam. I am not conformable with leather and will be testing this on craftfoam first then graduating to leather. So excited to get started

This is BEAUTIFUL. I sew but I'm intrigued by what you are doing. I would like to make one of these for my daughter who host a Viking-giving day after Thanksgiving for friends and family. It is a great deal of fun and the costumes are getting better as the years go on.

[@justmutantjed]

Holy cow, dude, this is great work! So much fun watching a project like this come together. The purple and gold colour scheme came out particularly nice, too.

[@Princearmory]

Thank you!

[@CraigH999]

Might be helpful to figure out ahead of time where you might need to skive, do the skiving, and then do the dye and finish work. Not critical, and it would make planning the build slightly more complicated, but you won't have to worry about touching up the leather after skiving an already dyed and finished piece. This is a great tutorial - the camera angle lets us see a lot and the narration is really helpful. It's probably one of the better leather craft tutorials out there, and I watch a lot of leather craft tutorials. 😁

[@eric-bkc]

This is gorgeous and inspiring! as always. Thank you!

[@Princearmory]

Thanks so much!

[@sideshow32]

I wonder if it would work the same if you could use some snaps instead of the rivets on the pieces that you want removable? Maybe make a cover strip to cover the expose snap part when not fully together?

[@Princearmory]

It's a common enough technique

[@QuestorThews-s6j]

I am a new subscriber, Holy Wow! I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life, your craftmanship is exquisite, thank you for sharing! ♥

[@Malicetheoriginal]

Thank you for this. Iv been a leather smith for going on 6 years now and I've found the artisans to fall into two groups. Those that happily give you tips and trade secrets to improve your game and those that jealously guard their knowledge. Thank you for being one of the first and I too shall try to bring on those that want help by pointing them in your direction. 😎 You may now have permission to officially feel chuffed.

amazing craftsmanship mate. love all the specialty tools. i work with foam and cardboard for cosplay but the build techniques transfer over rather well. i admire your skill and you've inspired me to attempt working with leather.

You are an amazing craftsmanship love your work love what you do

[@murmur3966]

I am totally new to your channel and I can't believe I never saw your work before. I have done saddles for movies and costumes for theater, fantasy wear and cosplay so I really have mad respect for your leather tooling skills. That sets a craftsperson far apart from a hobbyist when it comes to all the finer details and features in a costume. I stopped doing shows with my models wearing all my stuff when events were cancelled and it got harder to advertise. Do you sell some of the costumes you create or do you just use them yourself for events? I can't wait to see more of your channel and I hope you stay healthy and happy and have great luck in all your future endeavors.

[@allanvincent4450]

WOW! just art. beautiful leather working. beautiful working!

[@williamcarroll2959]

Man I love these videos! My grandfather has been a leather worker for many many years. I regret not learning from him earlier in life but trying to get him to teach me things in his late years. It’s an art that is dwindling in the way of craftsmen (and women) and it’s nice to see someone trying to bring more into it with these awesome tutorials!! Keep it up man! Good work

I almost watched all your videos. You're really good and you gave me the idea to make my own leather armor. Could you make a video on the boiled leather technique? (or another technique you know about hardening leather) Keep up your good work! I really like it!

[@Princearmory]

Get leather firmer or just us a thick coat or dunking of acrylic finish like I do. Boiled leather... is another subject lol

[@BrickQuestAdventures]

Not to jump on Samuel's thread but since they are his sponsor for this video, Weaver leather has a video on baking leather to harden it. I haven't tried it personally but it seems way better than boiling.

Your work is mindblowing! That creativity and the time put in each piece is amazing! Please continue putting some videos out for us to learn and practice! Being a bit overweight I am wondering how I could adapt this kind of armor to my size and keep it comfortable. I hope that we get more female breastplate armors and matching accessories! Something gothic / pirate / wizard style armor would be awesome. I'm still a beginner figuring out belts, pouches, and small accessories. I'm looking forward to more videos; they are so instructive!

[@bjornsworkshop9288]

Another great video. Beautiful work as always!

[@Princearmory]

Thanks so much!

[@derskalde4973]

Well, I don't have any experience in working with leather, so maybe this is dumb. But while watching I wondered, couldn't you use the paper rivet(?) thingies you used to hold everything in place during the testfit again, to hold everything in place and see where it needs a little more work/shaping, and then, one by one, replace them with the actual rivets that hold it together permanently? Does this make sense?

[@kirbywynne911]

Thank you for this video. You solved my dye issue with purple! I could never get it to stay purple! Plus I didn't know about the tuff coat top coat. I am gonna order some soon. Excellent pattern and love the tool work you did. Definitely inspirational for my projects.

Do you need to add more water throughout the stamping process for example every 15min or 30min

When transferring patterns, do you ever use a "pounce wheel"? The end results are absolutely stunning. As a DM, I wouldn't hesitate to call it a "Master Work Armor".

Nice video. Where can one find the metal ball forming tool? Do they come in different sizes?

[@ravendarkcloud]

Impressive, is this for sca or was your aim more cosplay? It is worthy of sca. I have not worked with leather in years due to disabilities. One tool I think you could make great use of is a curved hide knife, they look like a stingray and make cutting heavy hide much easier. You can also get forming plyers with delrin jaw inserts that do not leave marks behind. I used to have some I used for holsters.

[@stephaniebotfield7188]

Wow. Blew my mind. I love leather. To me it’s still alive whatever creature donated it. Leather continues to breath and should live a long life if treated correctly. All leather needs feeding at some time or it will give out to Father Time as we mere mortals do !!!! That was Eye Candy. If I was still young I’d have loved something like that but I’m too long in the tooth or should that be gums. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@themercurialmoxie]

Thanks for watching

[@bjornsworkshop9288]

When I started out leathercrafting I started out with some smaller armor pieces like Bracers. They are a GREAT way to practice the foundation skills without having to risk big nice pieces of leather. The bracer pattern Prince made a tutorial for a while back is made of several small sections riveted together which means there is even less need for waste, and if you mess up a piece or two, you haven't ruined the whole project! All in all, it's a really safe way to dive in and start making some awesome stuff!

[@OMEGATEAM473]

Bjornsworkshop thanks for the advice! I will go check it out.

[@waha2089]

Excellent as always. one question: when you use a Edge or stitch groover, do you still go back and cut a line with the swivel knife? Seems like this is an alternate way to make your line in the leather. Thanks

[@bjornsworkshop9288]

It is 100% up to you how you choose to do it. You can use wing dividers/edge creasers to simply press in the line, a stitch groover to cut a relatively shallow groove, or a swivel knife to have your line cut at whatever depth you want it to be set at. All three are viable options and will give similar results. You can follow each of those three lines with a beveler and/or other border stamps if you want. As far as a direct answer to your question: Generally speaking, you would either use a stitch groover OR a swivel knife more frequently than you would use both.

[@einblutwolf5356]

Great Work! Super attention to detail. How many hours goes into this? It truly is phenomenal work. Bravo!

[@bjornsworkshop9288]

Hours of work into a project is a really hard thing to determine because it is significantly affected by so many factors. Experience is probably the biggest factor because you will learn to streamline certain aspects of your crafting process as you get further along your journey. What might take Prince 20 hours may take someone else two or three times that. That said, I would say that a weekend dedicated to this project (with a little willingness to work long days) should get you through the project without too much trouble.

[@einblutwolf5356]
