paper clip with exposed ends... just in case you run into an artificers lock instead of a normal lock (*snort* *snort* magic).
Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

I totally get wanting to make everything from material on-hand, but if you wanted an upgrade, getting an "inspection mirror" (or "telescoping mirror") from a hardware store will give you a mirror on a flexible head and telescoping stick (so you can check the underside of something you're above, for instance), and they're usually really cheap.
I was thinking of that too. I have one, and it's really handy.
$2 at your local harbor freight
But not as immersive!
Dollartree sells them too
Sure, but why buy something for two bucks when you can spend 50 bucks on crafting supplies and make it yourself?
I think one of the hidden values of this channel is what's not necessarily mentioned. For the most part I am self taught with things like leathercraft. While he and I arrive at a lot of the same conclusions, our methods of problem solving are very different. I will often see little things that give me ideas to drastically change the way I work, sometimes in situations completely unrelated to the video. Most of the leathercraft channels I'm subscribed to follow the same general procedures, so it's really refreshing to see different approaches.
Reversible jacket. Something I find VERY useful as a rogue is a jacket where it has two outsides. Escape the guards, get around the corner, remove your mask, reverse the jacket and throw yourself into a wall then in a 'daze' point the way for the rubes who just caught up and watch them chase shadows into the distance as you stagger 'home'. You have maybe five seconds to get all that done, but if you pull it off you feel like a god damn genius.
A “almost realistic” thing for you to add to your set of tools: metal key blanks or flats. You can use the file to cut a key to match the actual key that was lifted. If you only have a moment with a key you can use a torch or piece of pitch soaked rope to make a smoky flame and soot the key, press a piece of cloth against the key (be careful it was just in a flame) to transfer the pattern.
Option 2 is to press the key against the leather of your gauntlet to again form an impression. In fact you could keep a couple key sized pieces of leather with a scribed “fold line” in your kit as a fantasy equivalent to a box with modeling clay for impressioning keys. As for tools, you need a pick that’s just a long point like a probe for helping find loose stones and getting things too far for fingers
Oh my gosh, a moistened piece of veg-tan to get a key impression? That's just a little bit brilliant. Gonna stash that away in the "cool tricks I'll definitely never have an opportunity to use" file!
That's super smart, actually! I don't know why the official thieves' tools description doesn't include something like that!
Check your local laws about owning and or caring picks. Some states it's illegal to own picks, others it's illegal to carry them , some states it's legal to own them but not carry them. Some states it's legal to carry them. In the states it's illegal to own or carry them is for if you're not a locksmith. Also make sure if you live in a state it is legal to own and or carry them to check your cities laws as some cities in states it is illegal to carry them.
You could add a mini map or a glyph translation on the underside of the top flap. Instant information and no wasted space. Win, win
Maybe to keep the metal parts in place, use a Magic.
Or was that a magnet?
An old retractable/expandable radio antenna on the end of the mirror will give your peaking much more distance or be able to peak in holes. Fun vid. Great job.
Yea was thinking that but wasn't sure if he was trying to say true to the "period" - no high tech stuff. Retractable tech existed (e.g. telescopes/spyglass) but not at this small scale I think.
@@cbjewelz I'm sure something could be made using some similar flat metal bits, but seeing as he said he did it all last minute I'm sure he didn't have the time to work out and then cut the exact dimensions you'd need to make something like that not simply fall apart when extended. It should be relatively simple, just time consuming to make.
These came out supernice. Although I have no real use for lockpicking tools, I appreciate the craftmanship and artistry that went into these. For my profession, I have something slightly different tough...
Really loved this build. Aesthetically pleasing, especially once they wear in a bit, and super fun and practical. Great job!
Thank you! I am excited to break them in a bit more, get some natural wear and tear on them.
Awesome stuff, as always!
I'd like to contribute some leatherworking tips and tricks:
1) when carving that quilted pattern on leather, a better tooling sequence would be to bevel the lines first and then use the seeder.
2) in order to make those bevelled lines nicer and hide those bevelling marks, you could drag that beveler (or a carving spoon!) along the line you just finished bevelling.
3) you might want to reinforce those keepers with a couple stitches or a staple!
My DM always made fun of me for keeping my thieves tools under my bracers.
Now I can show them this video and laugh as I break and enter another dungeon undetected
Just picked a lock today for our fire system inspection. Can you , Kit, actually pick locks? Got my first lock pick set as a boy scout. Ordered from the Boys Life magazine in fact. Did my home front door when I forgot my keys, cars that my dad' s mechanics would accidently lock themselves out of. Snuck into abandoned buildings to skateboard and get out of the weather. Current boss's home fire box for a divorce dispute. (could have pilfered the contents and said I cannot unlock; didn't though, taught him how to pick it). Also in a past job for a favorite supervisor picked our department manager office door and desk lock to get documents showing he falsifies records as he was a compulsive pathological liar ). Fun bracer idea. You rock my dude.
Such a great/useful skill! I can indeed! I have always been a bit of a lock picking enthusiast, lol. Talents of a misspent youth and all that.
3:37 - There's a reason for the old adage, "Locks are only there to keep honest people out." The trick is to make things just a bit more difficult than the person trying to break into the space has patience for -- or at least more difficult than other nearby targets.
Super cool!! Would you ever build a tricked out DnD table? As a DM who loves physical minis/terrain/props, I’m constantly at a loss on how to store everything compactly while also keeping it handy. I take up so much space that my poor players barely have room for their stuff! There are some really awesome ones out there but I’d love to see your take on it!
Also, hi puppy!
I would LOVE to, tho, I will need a bit more room and a place to keep the finished product 😅
Yes!!! Would love to see that!! plz make it happen!!!!
@@SkillTree if you ever do, I'm working on a project that might add to it. If you're interested in programmable 3d terrain, let me know and I can send some more details
@@SkillTree if you could make it compact for playing when you larp would be cool
@@SkillTree Make it so that the table not only stores things but can be folded against a wall or hangs from the roof and be lowered down when needed. You know, like a drop ceiling on a pulley system but is a gaming table instead.
You mentioned the gambeson look on the bracers, but would you consider actually making gambeson? I'd be interested to see what you do in terms of style and extra utility in a historical garment
We've been wanting to make a gambeson!
A cotton quilt bat would probably shorten the process
@@SkillTree you should do a collaborative with Shadiversity to make a..SHABARD!
@@SkillTree Dewit!
Not 2 days ago I finished this exact type of project for my artificer.
Built in notepad, tool pouch, measuring tape and general use pocket
Used your channel for Inspiration, keep up the amazing work!
go share it in the discord!
Definitely would have to add an easy to access handcuff/shackle key just in case you fail a stealth check
If you want a more authentic and chunky mirror, you can just mirror polish bronze or silver plate (probably also nickel or German Silver?) with a buffing wheel. Also keep in mind that files are brittle and care should be taken when possibly flexing or impacting them, because if nothing else the broken pieces may be sharp. Also with them possibly bouncing around, it will destroy that mirror and anything else it scratches against over time. A metallic mirror and a seperate dedicated handle (bend one end and keep the other straight for options in use) will fix the issues
Seriously interenting.
I might have to include a techy version of these for a science-bro character in one of my writing projects.
Congratulations on the sponsor! Thieves tools, brought to you by SimpliSafe!
We did it specifically because it amused us 😂
Amazing build I feel so inspired to make my own now. Something I would have done differently would be to somehow move the picks on the underside of the forearm that way they wouldn’t get damaged while in combat. I would also have made it accessible to slip two fingers in to grab out the picks in case I was to be handcuffed I could pick those locks
I would definitely create little channels for the individual picks…. Keeps them sorted and in order and prevents them from sliding around. Really impressed with the functionality/accessibility of the approach. I didn’t see it coming until the final reveal. Very nice.
To make your tooling lines look a lot smoother and not so jagged you can take three extra tips and level up your leatherworking with me. 😸👍
First: keep your tool straight 90 degrees to the leather and use consistent force. For me that point is just when the tool by hammering sticks a bit to the mallet and bounces just enough to effortlessly move it to the next hit.
Second: use half-steps. Don't move your tool all it's width with each step. Rather make it overlap around 30-50% of the previous hit. That way you're less likely to have stairways.
Third: after you're done with hammering edges use the tool itself and simply drag it along the edge with light to medium pressure. Some would even use special tool called "spoon" but I can't yet afford to try it out and recommend or debunk. Using just the beveler works like a charm to me.
Good luck and keep leveling up you. 👋😸👍
Gotta have a sheath for your dagger or daggers on the outside of the bracers. But I certainly love this build and the channel in general. Keep leveling up.
Chrome and oil tan often don't play well with metal (rust and or other corrosion can occur) so I'd use suede or soft boar skin veg tan leathers for the interior.
This is great. I have a kit and the pack takes up so much space that I never carry it. Off to get my leather kit and start crafting ♥
That would work well with hidden throwing knives also.
For sure! Be a cool add for the future
This feels right up my alley, but one thing i would have added is a folding blade, like a straight razor. It doesnt need to have a point, a rounded end would be best for something like this and its a great slashing weapon with a little reinforcement and its just super useful. Theyve been around since like forever, so they are period accurate too.
Worked out really nicely.
For leather stamping you can use different drill bits from your hand drill for more variation.
I’m not a safety sally by any means, and I’m sure for such a thin metal doesn’t really matter. As a tradesman and having this happen to me more then once cause I don’t learn, you shouldn’t use the side of a cut off wheel to grind. They’re not designed for this and with enough pressure or wear, they do explode…otherwise amazing vid!
I keep forgetting how (comparatively) easy it is to make bracers. I'll have to try my hand at those soon.
Oh yeah! Just a slab of leather wrapped around your arm lol
I found your channel like 2 weeks ago and have binged everything you've ever put out. You're incredibly talented and have made me want to try every build you've done.
8:50 "[...] like some kind of a thieving Artificer."
I would actually argue that having them hidden will make you even more of an Artificer... Though, maybe I've just played too many Armorer Artificers... lol
These are great! When are we going to see the upgraded LARP character with all this new gear?
to the pick side, I would add a bypass tool and something similar to the Sparrows Mini Jim. ( used to slip unshielded door locks) as well as a handcuff key. to the tool side I would add a small hack saw blade and a smallish pair of forceps. some times the longer thinner forceps come in very handy. if there is room, a small folding ( to protect your fingers pulling it out) razor blade, like the kids put in emergency kits would be great. these are all tools I had in my E&E kit after S.E.R.E school in the ARMY.
So cool!
But I think I would have stuck to grey and black for sneaky. But this looks great!
Something I suggest if you want to go for "realism" with this particular kit is making some lever-lock picks. They're for picking the locks that those 🗝️ shaped keys go to, and you can make them out of pieces of thick wire.
Clamping the grinder was both ingenious and terrifying.
These are super cool! I'd add a wee vial of acid for getting through those trickier locks.
I will 100% melt myself🤣
You're really willing to carry a vial of acid to reduce metal against your arm protected by only a flap of leather? ... Bold man...
@@DonsArtnGames me? No. My character Ole Stabby the Rogue? Sure, why not. 😆
2:45 Two words: Shop apron!
If only he had made one of those first!! lol
I HAVE one too.... just dumb lol
i d add some mini blowgun darts& blowgun + mini throwing daggers (classic rouge weapons)
At first, I was thinking, "Why not just put the tools on the inside surface of the leather bracers rather than two layers?" But then when you showed the practical application, it made a lot more sense. Great build!
My only suggestion would be reinforcing the outer layer somehow to protect the tools from being damaged in combat. Maybe use cuirboilli (boiled leather) or some kind of hardener on the leather, or maybe reinforcement plates/bars? Just a thought. But love these either way!
Such a sweet little puppy! Also Cl3ver I've been going through you back catalog of videos and I was wondering if you ever came up with a hot beverage container solution. If not why couldn't you just take a modern ceramic mug and Cl3ver it up like you did with the Dragon Goblet?
pretty cool. . .also, I think I found your channel when researching the Chinese Shoe Patcher, I bought one, and after just a little fettling, it works well and is a beast. I make my own pocket notebooks and use flexible cutting boards to stiffen up the covers, since you can't glue to it, sewing is the way to go, and the CSP runs through it like it's not even there
I love seeing how you incorporate the skills you've developed over the course of these episodes into new projects, keep up the great work!
Well done.
I will be starting on a on a set similar to these sometime soon for a Fey Wander Ranger/Rouge cosplay build. Will send some pictures upon completion.
Yo thats so cool. I did something like this with my artificer but i made it a swiss army knife kinda deal. Totally might try this tho cause of how dope it is
Thanks! If you do, I hope you share what you come up with
@@SkillTreetotally will. Probably more so implasticine since that's my medium of choice but it's still cool skills none the less
Could you try building a collapsible travoy/hiking trailer to match your backpack tent? The trailer could double into a viking style cot or chair and the wheel or wheels could double as little tables or a shield. You could use the travoy like a mono-walker to haul your kitchen cooler trunk, and they all would look great with the Staff of the Wanderer. You could call it the Wagon of the Wanderer or something like that!
The only thing I'd change about this project is NOT making or using real lockpicks. Mirror, scissors, pliers etc, all fine. For the lockpicks, though, either don't include them at all, get something that looks the part but isn't actually for picking locks (I've seen dental picks used as faux lockpicks) or make them out of thin, flexible, clearly-not-meant-to-be-used plastic.
Depending on local laws, you might be fine carrying actual lockpicks around. Why take the chance, though?
Besides, I've never heard of a LARP that involves someone actually picking a lock.
This was actually very interesting to see you show off how you'd use it at the end. I thought you'd have to take them off completely
DO NOT DO CHROME TAN ON ITEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE TOUCHING SKIN!!! It will trigger allergies, and is hella toxic to make, too. Use Veg tan, or at least finished with Veg tan over a chrome tan. That will at least clean the chrome tanning solution off thoroughly.
Also, something I have recently learned, when sewing on leather: use linen thread. It won't decay like cotton, or break over time like synthetic.
As a more ranger vibe, you could swap out the thieves tools for throwing knives, however the chances of getting hurt are a little high
I've been looking into scale armor. I've noticed that some scales are shaped like military dog-tags. Was wondering if you think using either stainless steel or leather dog-tag blanks and pop rivets would be a good hack for making some scale armor? What I'm picturing is using 1/2" strapping for the rows of dog-tags and 1" strapping for the frame with 2 x 1" buckles for each shoulder and 3 x 1" buckles down each side. That's my idea. How would you do it?
Either you're lucky with your sewing machine (or did some work on it off camera) or I was just unlucky. I've had to file smooth multiple holes where the thread goes through, adjust the timing, and sand the sharp edges on both bobbin cases it came with it. In order to use any thread besides quality monofilament thread.
The more I polish this gem the more I love it.
A "blind spot" mirror is quite cheap and easily sourced online or at an automotive store.
**As a suggestion I would say a garoutte or a small thin "Stiletto" style boot or "bracer knife" like 4 in maximum but good for sliting throats or cutting ropes/cargo straps/ mourning lines.
I think since they are thieve tools, using a pocket that has a pull tab, similar to some credit card wallets would work really well. A string could be wrapped around a finger so with a good tug, the tools would be pushed out. I think a secondary tab could be on the opposite end to push the tools back in. Just some ideas if you make a second version.
I've been trying to workshop a design for this project for three years
Did this help?!?!
@@SkillTree Yes, greatly!
Would you ever make a Phantom blade or something of the sort?
Respect on making your own lock picks. That is attentiom to detail work.
Should try and make a alchemy bracer next for all your potions
Hey Kit, I sent this video to my son in college. He is into all Tolkien related activities (D&D and physical adventuring), also leather-working and blacksmithing. Anyway, I have been getting him into lockpicking too and, after responding to me that he has a new favorite channel 😀, I suggested to him that he should consider making some custom vambraces for his blacksmithing and leather-working with details on a system. He suggested that I should tell you my idea, with your love of multi purpose items (mine too). How about a modular vambrace system using straps, snaps, and neodymium magnets to make (Cue epic score) THE ULTIMATE, FOREARM MOUNTED, MULTIPURPOSE, TOOL and/or WEAPONS CARRIER! Just an idea.
When making my lock picks I found the best way to make the tension rod is used the metal inside a windshield wiper blade
Wow!! Just wow!!! These are great, and your leather skills are definitely leveling up!!!
Love this! I so want to make these now!
You know, the mirror on a pole thing is one you can get for a buck in the dollar tree tool isle...they're heavily used in work with engines and similar things where you need to check the mechanics in places you can't really get into easily and/or see what you're doing in some of those where you wouldn't have a clear look for it.
Mainly it would, probably, be for disarming mechanical traps there
a small tube of lock oil would be a good add to the bracers, for any of those slightly sticky locks you may encounter along your adventures!!
LOVE how clever these are! Well thought-out and practical (for a thief) 😅 You are a bit scary with that angle grinder, but... use the tools you have, ameyeright! And no matter what others say about those cheap cobbler machines, when they're dialed-in, they are amazing and pay for themselves in a couple of projects. Thanks for sharing and showing folks how easy things can be with a little creativity and fearless attitudes 😁
Could you make a napping tool set that can go anywhere you need to do some napping on stone for primitive tools?
Eeee another amazing result! Would those picks ever be useful in a larp? That would be a neat thing to see.
You can add some Polarizing film on top of the mirror, that way you don't have "scope glint" but still have it usable as a mirror.
I think that'll work?
One tip for the lockpick bracer is to sew halfway down one side of the keeper flap, so it creates a corner to hold the lock picks and keep the ends a little more secure
I…. *NEED* a pair of these!
The idea made in this vid for the thieves kit is a very fun and creative new way of having it stored and being used. Most of the time in games or function I would have the kit be an organized and sectioned off pouch or pocket concealed inside of the sleeve or pantleg of rhe thief but spread across the entire portion of clothing as to not bunch them all up in one spot. But hiding the kit in a thicker/more rigid leather case resolves that issue of concealment better in ways too. Great vid and fun creative ideas!
My only complaint is that they aren't the most discreet things when opened up, and I imagine not the quickest to buckle up again either, so not exactly ideal to use if there are any observant guards around. Having said that, I'm honestly not sure how either of those issues could be addressed while also keeping them functional as actual defensive armor.
I did have an idea however taking notes from a couple of other comments. One was about adding more armor to the outside of the bracers while the other(s) were about making the mirror telescopic. Combining those ideas, you could put some very tight straps/loops (basically the same as on the back of the mirror) on the outside of the bracers at the wrist and elbow, just large enough to slide metal rods (pencil or dowel thickness) into. Maybe 3 rods per bracer spaced across the back of your forearm. While probably not very effective against a wild monster's claws or fangs, they could help stop a sword biting into the leather, your lock picks and, y'know, your arm. And then when you did need to peek around a corner, slide out one of the rods along with your little mirror, attach mirror to rod and boom, you now have a much longer reach than what you have with that little file. And as a bonus, if someone or some thing does notice the mirror, you're already holding a metal rod to possibly deflect a sudden attack!
Cool Bracers. I was wondering how difficult it would be to shift the buckles to the bottom of the forearm so that any of your bracer designs could be used as an archer's bracer. And might have to add a hidden dagger sheath instead of lock picks...;)
I really love these videos, I love the adventurer items alot and not only do I want to make them, but together with the camping videos I get so much inspiration for stories
I wonder is undoing both the buckles make it a bit slow to get to the tools? Maybe there would be another way to get them to be more readily able to open, but then the compartment might be a bit obvious. Hmmm
this is awsome and so fits my rogue cosplay for next year, I'm going as my own dnd Rogue Thomas, he is a swashbuckler at lvl 7
Excellent video! The alloy steel tools inside the bracers must boost the AC +1.
Street sweeper bristles make great lockpics. Look in the street gutter for them, as the machines are always losing a few with every run.
Sir, if you intend to use the lockpicks, you will quickly find that hacksaw blades are too brittle for lickpick use. Bandsaw blades work well, as do feeler gauges. You can also get feeler gauge material in rolls from amazon.
This is a great video, didn't mean to post my comment without saying that.
may i also suggest you add a third layer between the outer and the inner with slats that can hold inserts used for concealed weapons (throwing knives or bo suruken [?] and since they are concealed you can swap them with steel bars or alternate them with such . so your bracers can pass as concealed armor when pressed and inspected but hide your thieves tools and emergency weapons . think when someone grabs you and feels something underneath the leather . when confronted you merely show the steel bar and explain how you have hidden splint armored bracers . (which would fall in place with your roguish character. ) also would you consider making a pair for me ?
Eh a lil overengineered and your picks are a bit oversized, your tension wrench isn't going to be springy enough, and they aren't going to be easy to get to if you get "thrown in irons" but it's easy to find fault and harder to give solutions so
Move the access point to the edge of the bracers (and can have the handles be part of the decor of the armor like a hollowed animal tooth), get a way better tension wrench from an old windshield wiper, and for the mirror on a pole get a old telescopic metal antenna/pointer so you can extend the mirror to see under doors and not have to expose yourself at the corner as much
And moving onto the picks there's really 5 main tools that can deal with most locks and that is 2 main hooks, rake, padlock shim, and a wheel decoder
Hmm, I think some easier access would be what I went for. Like hiding them in seams or as decorations so you could get to them even quicker.
These might be one of my favorite of your projects! :) They look so freaking good! And I'm a sucker for practicality ;)
I might try to replicate these myself, and maybe add a throwing knife to the kit.
Anyway, thanks for another great video and incredible project. :)
On the topic of tool choices, your pick selection are extensive, perhaps to the point of redundancy. I would probably ditch all but a snake, a long hook and a diamond tip that will cover 99% of cases. As for adding tools, there are some that I think you would regret not carrying and wouldn't be too large to fit in the pockets you already have:
- A traveller hook, which is basically a strong metal spike with the tip bent at a right angle. You just need a thin tool that can reach into mechanism and allow you to catch and pull enough to trip open the occasional poorly designed system. You would be surprised how many locks are unable to cope with being pulled at from behind a simple 90 degree angle.
- Snap hairclips for holding things in place, and freeing up a hand, in a pinch it can also be used as a tiny shim for escaping some commonly encountered locks.
- A tin matchbox filled with clay. This can be used for a number of things, such as taking a negative of a signet ring to forge later or, if the top and bottom of the box has clay lining, cloning a key you gained brief access to during the prep for your infiltration. You don't want to take the key and come back later, someone might notice. So come back with your own key to the lock, no picking needed.
- Fishing line for extending your reach, tying things off, again freeing up hands and allowing you to reach things in places your meaty hands cant fit into. Around 4 feet is enough to reach most old-school sliding chain or lever locks from the attackers side of the door.
- A decent flathead screwdriver. Remove the huge round handle and put a T grip on it so it can lay flat in your pouch. If you don't have the time or patience to pick several locks - take off the hinges of the door and swing it open on the reverse side.
These r one of my favorite builds uve made so far. They're so so goooood
Do you need to pre-punch the holes with the leather sewing machine, or does it just punch through the leather?
Okay.. I'm a lock Sporter and a lock nerd and was curious about your choice in pics. I was wondering why you went with pin Tumblr pics as opposed to lever lock pics which probably would have been more accurate to the genre? Admittedly pin Tumblr pics are way more interesting to look at than lever lock pics I was wondering if that was your thinking. I'm also thinking about making a set of these bracers for lock sporting they might be a lot of fun in a competition
you should combine these with the witcher bracers and your ranger gloves.
How would you integrate a archery arm guard into this design for “shooty” rogues?
Those are awesome dude! Couldn't you make those easier, or quicker to open up? Seems like, you could have a flap that lifts up or something. Unbuckling those each time, the re-buckling seems impractical for realistic use. I know this is just for fun. But in the "real-life" application, you'd want a simpler quicker access. Makes me wonder if Velcro would be an option. But, that would be noisy. I don't know, food for thought lol! Loving the videos! Already thinking of the things I'm going create that you've inspired! Thanks man!
This might be an odd question, but have you made pants before? I can't seem to recall, nor find, any videos of yours on making pants. Would love to see it if you have, or, if not, it _could_ be an idea for a future project.
FYI let cops know you have this if you get arrested while larping so you don't catch an extra charge. Or don't. You'll probably get charged with burglary tools anyway
Best video to just practice lockpicking while watching. Great video! Next i practice lockpicking with selfmade tools
Fantastic design but i think a small dagger or small blade is all thats missing
Could it be possible to add small shields to the top for both added defense but also to further hide their true function? Like a leather or light wooden shield. Either way, these really do look so cool.
Possible, sure. Practical? No. Having a shield strapped that securely to your arm is nothing but trouble, considering it's a natural leverage point then.

Got it. Makes sense
