What brought you here if you're not a subscriber? I'm always curious about the sometimes ridiculous CZcams algorithm. Have an AMAZING Holiday Season everyone!
Rattan combat, but I am subbed
I’ve been looking at leather crafting videos for a while and saw a thumbnail for your green dice bag and was hooked! I also watch a lot of hahns atelier.
Also curious about the skivver you use for the strips
I'm subbed to the channel now, but not a member. What brought me here was looking on youtube for leather crafting. What made me sub was your viking knotwork. I wanted to do celtic knotwork on leather and needed some tips for getting started. It's turning out very well and I'm happy I found your channel. One of these days I'll likely make my son-in-law some of your armor. He'd enjoy that. By the way, I haven't checked the patterns in your shop. How do you make sure they fit people?
Been a sub for a while - but I'm pretty sure the first thing I found you on was an armor video.
A longer view of the vambrace being worn would be nice - a good look at the finished product is always helpful. Thanks for your great tutorials.
These are so dam awesome. Great job and they really turned out fantastic! I've yet to have viewed a tutorial that even mentioned this type of brace, no less how to make them.
Looks good really like the design. Thanks, Clinton
Yes! Been waiting for these!!!!
Its so satisfying to watch you tool leather. I'm a beginner, probably the coolest thing I've done is to tool a leather knife sheath to look like gator skin. It actually came out pretty well.
Making it look sooooo easy. Love those steps up taps. Keep these videos coming I enjoy watching them!
Definitely prefer your armor videos over everything else. Glad to see it continuing.
Ya, they get the most views for sure. I like to mix it up a bit, but there's so much more armor to get to.
I like the solid piece over the hinged design 👌
Thanks. Just finished one of these! Turned out great!
Those look amazing!!! Beautiful craftsmanship!!
Those are really cool. Nice job.
Awesome craftsmanship!
Best channel to watch on a weekend morning tons of inspiration presented by an honest craftsman. Thanks Magnus.
Keep it up, one of the most interesting channels I've subscribed to this year.
Very cool work. Very creative!
Great work!!!
Thanks for doing these videos. I'm so hooked now doing leather work
Glad you like them! Great to hear!
I love the all the play by plays, the step by steps, you don't hold onto a point and waste time unless you need to emphasize that point. Great teacher. If you take suggestions in ideas to make, what about shoes/boots? you've practically made a whole kit at this point lol.
Watching these tools cut leather like butter is immensely satisfying, but also makes me question the benefit of leather armour ;)
That brace looks wicked cool
It looks badass!!
Love it!
Inspiring
Dark Horse workshop, starts Kazoo Band. More to follow.
Really liked it. Keep on creating good content.
Thank you, I will
That's awesome, like always ! In everyone of your videos, you are waxing your pieces, but could you explain me what does it consist in ? Is it a finish, or anything like that ? Anyways, thank you very much for giving me inspiration through your videos !
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , yo hice cuero hace unos años , bolsos , monederos , cosas pequeñas , pero su trabajo está a otro nivel , me encantan sus dibujos , por favor subtítulos en español , se agradecerían mucho , ya que habla bastante en sus tutoriales , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓 😜
My bazuband pattern is back on its drawer. Lol.
Probably release it next year or something.
Good video dude.
Good pattern too!
Very impressive. My brain popped an idea: Get an american football and carve out a piece that fits the elbow. Let's just say, I have many ideas. Finished projects? Not so many. Except paracord bracelets. Bcoz they only require ten minutes.
Gladitaor armor in the year 2152, old footballs have become a mainstay of the fighting forces of the Ub'hanti 49ers in this desolate wasteland.
very nice
FOUND YOU ON TIK TOK! I LOVE LEATHERWORK! Gonna be ordering a bunch of stuff from you lol
Every time I see you wax something in the heated wax I think to myself dang I need to get Mr a turkey roaster so I can do that myself
They usually go on sell this time of year.
Can you do a video on weights/types of leathers and their uses and properties?
Also how would you add the padding in the inside of Boromir's Bracers? If you need a reference Adam Savage just did a show and tell of it on youtube.
That's a great video, thanks for sharing. I'm not sure if the padded layer comes out of the Vambrace, I didn't see anything on the inside that would make me think it's mounted to it, but it was hard to tell. The padded layer is probably 3 parts, a thin brown leather layer for the top, maaaaaaybe some super thin foam or cotton padding, and then either a very thin leather or fabric for the inside lining. then it's just diamond stitched like you might find on a gambeson, though don't quote me on it being called "diamond stitched". Then after that a leather binding is sewn all around the whole edge. The upper is 2 parts and has an obvious spot where those pieces are stitched together.
Do you make these to order for people ? Love the brass work.....
Nice work! I like how you can speed up the video so we can see the finished piece in 10 minutes. Although I am curious to know about how long does it take for an experienced leather craftsman to complete a project like this one? Keep up the good work!
Well it would depend on if that experienced leather craftsman has a sewing machine or if they're hand stitching. If they're carving and painting of if they're just doing it without art. Can be all over the map really. With art is tough to calculate since I don't mkae much with that detail for people anymore. I bet though if I had the raw footage still it would be like... 10-12 hours maybe? Really hard to say.
I have a question about why you mounted the buckle and strap to the sides in that orientation. I have seen lots of armor built that way but not sure why. I place my straps and buckles on the opposite sides so that the strap would hang down.
Love the videos. First time commenting. Inspired me to get into leatherworking myself, as well. That, and two trips to the Texas Renaissance Faire. Always look forward to seeing the next video, but if I may ask, for my own curiosity. If possible, could a helmet piece be done one day? When I was last at the faire, I saw a hardened leather helmet they called a Jarl's helm. Not sure what the exact style name is, but it had a similar look to the helmet from the Stormlord Armor set of Skyrim, a modded piece. I rather liked the helmet and was hoping to learn, one day distant, how to remake this piece I saw, but in the meanwhile, I'd greatly enjoy seeing someone far more mastered than I craft something similar. Much thanks Magnus, especially for the quality vids so far.
Some day for sure, but I kind of want to make a steel one more than a leather one. ;)
@@DarkHorseWorkshop I look forward to that video when the day comes.
very nice gear.. I want to become a leathersmith now..
You should!
Would it be possible to use a heat gun to form it after adding the rivets?
What type of anvil is that you used?
Que guapo tío wowww

Getting back in SCA/rattan combat and considering replacing some of my gear with leather. Great video - definitely pushing me down the path of leatherworking.
I am, however, pretty new to the craft (I've made some straps...haven't had to replace them yet!). First, can you suggest any learning resources for newbies. Second, in this video, at 5:30, you discourage the use of painting with brushes. Is that just a personal preference for the paint pens, or is there a more practical reason?
Of course, I could just go to your channel and look for other technique videos...
Resources for me have always just been digging around CZcams. The pens are just a giant time saver and for me at least go on much cleaner.
Would adding padding inside the bazubands increase the comfort and would it also require alterations to the pattern?
I'd always pad these, the only pattern change will depend on you arm size and padding size. Because these are one peice elbow/vam they need a bit of movement in the forearm for things to roll properly anyways so padding 100% a good idea.
Nice job man how much do you charge on a customized piece... Or is all that info at the website?
I just build for Film, Tv, and CZcams. With the idea that people will buy my patterns and make them for themselves and as part of their own business. So really, you could just poke people in the comments here and see if anyone wants to tackle that for you. Barring that, Caulder Leatherworks has been building great stuff lately, tell him I sent you.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop appreciate that will look into it
Knocking rivets drive me crazy!!!!! Very ofen round part twists a bit so its not straight and have to put new one..... How to do it???? How? Looks so easy when you do it. I knock wrong or i drilled hole wrong? but that seams ok.
rivet shaft too long, go down a size.
hi what kind of compressor do you use?
I have a small makita compressor.
As a hobbyist beekeeper of non-native invasive agricultural livestock honeybees*, most beeks wax dip their wooden hive boxes so find your local beekeeping clubs and see when they wax dip, they may allow leather to be dipped for a small fee. Some clubs are very strict, new bare wood boxes only, others are more lax, most use paraffin microcrystalline & resins and some also add some real beeswax for smell. Those wax temps are around 270-285*F
*True, honeybees are not native to the entire US Continent. (Europe and Africa native range) Beekeeping is not conservation, it's agriculture. It's not good for our native pollinators nor the environment we've learned. Outcompeting for forage, transmitting diseases and viruses to native pollinators and most likely propagating more non-native plants than native plants = bad for the ecosystem. ONLY native plants (and animals) help to heal an ecosystem. Beekeeping is good for people, healthy hive products, money, pollination services for unsustainable ag practices, but it's not helping the environment. Hence we are downsizing our beekeeping to eventually nothing. Located in SE PA.
