Yo, dude, where's the """link in the description""" to that quill you promised us?

Thank you so much!

For the details, when in costume, don't forget the ink stains on your fingers...

[@dude0864]

Oh, it'll happen!

A stained lip for pen nibblers 😊

[@Flying-Pie.]

I was learning about Roman wax tablets in my history class, and I think that it would be a fun addition to your belt pouch. They were wooden frames that had wax in them. You could write in the wax with a wooden stylus and erase later. I really enjoyed the video. Have fun at comic con!

[@kris99596]

I love that inkwell! I mean, I love the whole thing, but the drip-free inkwell was inspired!

[@Taurusus]

Heck yeah! I love that folk are starting to realise there's more to bards than lutes and lasciviousness. In fact, my best bard was indeed also a Storyteller! Kept a list of Aesops Fables to bust out-of-context quotes from as Bardic Inspiration, let Narrative Causality guide his actions.

[@DrachenGothik666]

That's a bad-ass build! The dripless inkwell was genius! I'd love to make something like that myself! Now, to make that sweet outfit Burgschneider sent more personal with some weathering or personal character bits (other than the awesome bit of kit you just built, of course) like embroidery, or sewn on braid.❤

[@FairladyZ2005]

Awesome build! I would love to try making something like this. The dripless inkwell is a great idea. I wonder if you could add even more ink bottles in different colors along the side with each color representing a different kind of magic.

[@feralmeditations8520]

I like how you think.

[@alaskankare]

90% of the time I watch the episodes on my phone. Tonight I was watching on my computer and OMG!!!! How long has the crafting symbol filled up with color at the episode goes?!? That is pretty dang cool. So is the bag you made. :) Inspiring always.

[@SLorraineE]

I've noticed that before too! Such a cool little detail

[@statesrights01]

First thing I thought about the ink on the quill was to flick it off on the monster like a samurai flicks the blood off a katana.. Love the build!

[@marcusfridh8489]

You would need a sandhorn too, for faster drying the of the ink, so it wont smear out

[@kay9520]

fun fact about multi purpose tools, a large number of leather tools can be found by other names in woodworking tool! Things like edge bevelers, many of the knives, and more!!

[@momsphonephone8592]

I'm very grateful for the sponge in the ink bottle idea. Thank you.

[@cheyannerockett8870]

I love the open and go ideas. Very convenient and practical. As someone who loves to write and enjoys functional aesthetics, I would wear that bag until the day I die unless I make like 50 versions of them

[@calladricosplays]

I absolutely love the tiny paint pallets that people have been wearing. I'm still trying to figure out how to use one myself. In the meantime, I love how this works for calligraphy nibs!

[@oakmaiden2133]

A spell caster/healers journal. The pages adorned with thumb nail sketches of ingredients. Recipes and notations.

[@jasonmolnar3754]

BEAUTIFUL addition to a bard costume, and SUPER adaptable for something like a wizard with a spell tome! Im definitely coming back to this in the future for my own Arcane Purposes (TM)

[@Jaeler9]

As a modern day scribe… I adore this idea.

[@Walkerfication]

Legit, I’m playing an Eloquence bard in a campaign who’s magic runs through stories and writing! I love seeing someone else with the same thought!

[@confusedmocha3267]

the cloth for cleaning the nib is a cool addition, especially if you dont want ink on your clothes, but i think it'd be a super cool character detail if the bard just smeared ink on their pants right by the pouch, solely because it's more convenient than the cloth. Like, it'd be the quill equivalent of wiping the blade of your sword on your pants to clean it really quickly. I mainly think it'd be cool because the ink stain would be a really cool bit of visual storytelling. Like, imagine the bard's pants all have basically the same ink stain on the front of their thigh *because* of this quill. And they could totally keep the cloth, so they can properly clean the cloth (swordsmen often keep cleaning supplies for their swords to be properly serviced when they have the time)

[@JustPlainRob]

The stuff from Burgschneider looks like someone tried to make a real life version of a medieval cartoon's clothing. I much prefer the bespoke stuff you always make on this channel. Plus you don't have to worry about wearing exactly the same thing as anyone else.

[@goldie3441]

you know...there is enough space in that board for more inkwells, which means... you could add colour to your concept of magic :D

[@VelaiciaCreator]

I may have been overly distracted by that snazzy jacket and how well you pull it off. Lookin good!

[@gryphonprovenzano3156]

I can see Cornelius wearing this

[@robertstuckey6407]

Dont forget the sand for the scribe kit

[@JxB-1208]

great video, you should make natural inks, with soot and distilled water and a wax tablet.

[@PrimalEdge]

I feel a wave of bardic inspiration!

[@torche72]

Perhaps you should angle your quill to the other diagonal. It would make the quill easier to "draw" and "holster". plus it would then match the logo on the cover.

[@charlesdunkelberger8548]

The other thing you could do about the leftover ink on the pen is create a wooden pen cap with the foam in it so the pen tip goes into the cap and the foam soaks up the leftover ink as well as doubles as a small inkwell with the leftover ink.

[@pastorson45]

This is Exactly what i have been looking for i was at my first Ren Faire and the outfit i want to do is a story telling bard so THANK YOU for doing this you brought something i thought was my imagination to life!!

[@derrickmaudlin1895]

If only Brother Gilbert had this haha. This is awesome! Definitely on my project list.

[@QuarionGalanodel]

First thing that came to my mind when I read "Battle Scribe" was Log Horizon

[@alantalbot62]

Love that you guys keep getting to do cooler things each video

[@juliashanabrook4536]

You look adorable in this outfit!

[@tonymeijer8532]

Just so you know, the jacket at 2:48 looks like a landsknecht jacket, i.e a 16th century mercenary ;)

[@tzisorey]

You should try to come up with a project that somehow turns a camera into a lore-friendly.....thing. a scryerbeast, or sentient tome or something

[@tomicorevilak7710]

Make a small drum for the bard. often poets and story tellers would use them to either keep a rhythm or for sound effects,

[@Krystlist]

I think personally i wouldve had the quill standing up on the side for quick access and already in the ink well so its a stopper for the well and is automatically inked to use and no need to wipe off excess ink when done 🤷

[@Seiaeka]

Fantastic project as always, Kit!

[@user-yo1fb1kg4omykehiggs]

Another fantastic project, and so well made too! I love the quill you've got, but in that period the flights of the goose feather would be removed from the actual quill, leaving it bare! (The flights were, I belive, used as arrow fletchings) also you should have a little penknife in your kit to cut new quills!)

[@oakmaiden2133]

I recently saw this about the quills being featherless. Makes more sense if you imagine them in a cup on a desk. Fluffy tops would be in the way, knocking the cup over often.

[@user-yo1fb1kg4omykehiggs]

@@oakmaiden2133 Hi there, I do believe some scribes did keep a small tuft of fletching at the top of the quill, cut flat, to brush away debris on the writing surface of the parchment!

[@alexsears7892]

Really neat... but remember how much it rained when you went. You might want to mod this to have a rain cover.

This is pretty awesome! Or maybe it's how excited he is about it. Either way its great.

[@noahrombough2802]

While playing a bard, you buit a Wizard's spellbook. It's brilliant either way, just thought that was a bit funny.

[@DragonLover789]

I have been waiting to see if you would do something like this!!

[@frownmastr]

I think I would have made a gauntlet to hold the pen and accessories, but this is pretty dope too. Also, It may be a good idea to link the 2 strips with something that allows you to opoen both at the same time to quicken access to the quill

[@ArcticPuzzle]

If you're going to be a storytelling bard, do you plan to collect folk tales from around the world to entertain the crowds? Because somebody at some point is definitely going to ask you to tell a story.

[@Timbyte]

thank you. very inspiring!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Awesome, but I think it should have been a bag instead of hooked to a belt. The belt will make it awkward for alot of things. Maybe next time....

[@kingofplasticine6217]

Dang... very cool idea and ngl I could totally see a d&d character of mine borrowing that idea to use for them since they are an artificer that like to draw and invent on the fly. That and any wizard would benefit so much. Love ya work and inspiration it give. Keep it up mate

[@lennoxwilliamsart7387]

not gonna lie, seeing you in that outfit made me instantly think of the D&D Movie XD You would have made a great bard and you really got rhe looks :D And loove that build! I wanted to make something like that back in the days with a bracer, but i never got to it

[@yobgodababua1862]

Historically that sort of slit sleeve was most used by 16th century landsknecht mercenaries, who dressed VERY over the top (and were also known for their elaborate, oversized codpieces). Can't say that doesn't fit the stereotypical DnD bard though. Appreciate going for more of the battle-skald approach. Better practice up on your off the cuff insults. ;)

[@TheStraycat74]

I was expecting it to fold down and form a writing surface-table... slightly disappointed, but it's still kinda cool

[@revolutionarygold]

Hey, man! I've always really admired your craftsmanship and attention to detail- I'd hate to see you disrespect your craft and that of other artists by beginning to use MidJourney in your work, given their history of art theft, black box policies, and a generally unethical approach to AI. I love this project otherwise, though! Orators and historians and storytellers are some of my favorite types of characters! Have a great time at NYCC!

[@issinho]

Cool

[@NemFX]

Are you guys ever going to start using heavier armour than just leather?

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

Great project but uh... definitely wouldn't have used Midjourney for making that logo. There's plenty of other ways to make easy logos without using AI.

[@dragondoodles78]

I love the project, but PLEASE don't use Midjourney. I don't know if you know but it steals from Artists and Frankensteins their work together.

[@TJtheBee]

I was really enjoying the video and then my brain screeched to a halt when you said you made the insignia with AI. ...hon...please...I like ya...please don't go down the AI route. AI works off of images without consent from the original artists. It compiles and photo manipulates those images into what you generate, but the "art" cannot be yours, as it is essentially stolen. PLEASE be careful. In a case like this, where it's a component for a project and just a generic image, fine, but Skill Tree is about making art and developing skills ourselves, right? I don't want to see the channel go down a path of stealing art for the sake of ease. Just make the art yourself, or commission an artist! Again, for something this simple it's not that big of a deal, but...

[@notsew008]

honestly you should have just had your artist make the isignia rather than midjourney. Hell you could have easily done it yourself. But I tend to shy away from ai "art"

[@YouNoobsTutorials]

I assume you're not aware that midjourney steals and uses the art of folks all over the internet for it's "creations" I hope as a fellow artist and creator you would be opposed to the theft that midjourney engages in.

[@earldumarest234]

You should look in to girdle books which were books where the leather binding continued loose below the book cover such that you could tuck it into your belt. The book hangs upside down and you pick up to use it then drop it to swing from your belt - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girdle_book#:~:text=Girdle%20books%20were%20small%20portable,the%2013th%20and%2016th%20centuries.

[@filthycasual544]

I will say, the nibs and ink that come with those amazon kits are kinda second rate. For a premium writing experience, I recommend getting different nibs from a trusted brand like brause, and for a more authentic writing experience, look for a good iron gall or indelible ink (I like J Herbin's Authentic Ink, but it might not be dark enough for some). If you don't particularly care about "accuracy" but still want performance, you can look at comic artist inks from Kuretake or Deleter, or calligraphy inks like Calli's Jet Black India ink. Always wash new nibs in isopropyl alcohol to remove the protective storage coating from the factory so that the ink will cling to them when you dip, make sure to clean your nibs with nib cleaner after use, or they'll rust.

[@oddoutdoors]

You should do journal/book making next. I've made a few, but I'd love to see your target on it!

[@knightjack]

I made a simple cartographer's/scribe kit for my ren fair/reckoning character based off the smoking pipe kit a while back. I need to make a newer one but I'm glad to see more ideas to use!

[@Drakonaut]

So an after fact note to give your scribe notebook if there's a 2.0, is to use weatherproof waxed paper. You can get a ream at Rite in the Rain and it works great for stuff like this.

[@emy6732]

waxed paper is not going to soak up the ink though... so writing with pen and ink is going to be a problem...

[@Drakonaut]

@emy6732 they actually make specialized inks that work on those papers, but yeah it's a process to make the set fully waterproof.

[@BenReilly803]

Totally makes sense you'd be a Lore Bard with all the extra skills they get
