How To Make An Articulated Leather Breastplate

- This tutorial video will guide you through the process of making an articulating cuirass with step-by-step instructions. You can scale the pattern to any size and you'll learn every step including how to burnish the leather edges for a smoother feel, and experiment with tooling stamps for a unique visual effect. Shaping the leather pieces before adding rivets is crucial for a good look and easy assembly, and using a retaining strap is a highly underutilized technique that makes all the difference. Make sure to plan ahead for the placement of buckles on your breastplate to determine the fit and accommodate additional items.

Was about to ask how to adjust this for my tits when I saw the Female Breastplate link, thank you!!!
Was there ever a video on how to do your distressed look ?
as someone who has only been doing leather work for little over a year, all of your videos are a treasure trove of knowledge, even if its just watching you make something and not explaining the techniques. after I finish some of my simpler projects, I'm definitely going to try to tackle this one!
Thank you!
This dude out here ready for the boss fight
"Why do i hear boss music?"
rip hunter lmao
Nah that's just 11+dex
Hello Friends! This was the most requested tutorial so far. How'd I do? What do you want to see next?!
That looks great! I got worried when you started riveting the top bits together, like, "... Did he forget this was going to be articulated?" But I shoulda known better than to doubt you!
One thing I would appreciate is a guide to attaching non-leather materials to leather. Canvas and cloth primarily, but things like glass or plastic (for goggles, say, or like a phone holder, as much as these don't really seem to be the style you're going for on this channel) as well. I'm working on a pauldron, and my plan was to kind of sheath it around a cloth sleeve, but I'm struggling to come up with a good way to affix it due to my regretful decision to include a large lamellar section down the bicep. I was hoping to avoid sewing, but I fear it might be inevitable.
This was great!! like my comment in the last Video adressed: i am now super hyped About the next Video showing us how u made this worn and distressed look on the leather :D thanks alot
Greaves and tassets, please, to finish the set. As an amateur leather working enthusiast, I cannot tell you how excited each and every video in this series has made me. I look forward to these more than the release of the latest Marvel movie.
I have no criticisms. Your videos are professional, concise, have excellent backing soundtracks, present all relevant information, and the purchased patterns that go with them are easy to print and use.
My only request is for more. More armor. Please finish this set and, if possible, start a new one. Learning from these has been both fascinating and exciting.
If you do want to introduce another armor set in the future, what would you think about upping the level to have people build a set with an intermediate difficulty level? I think after completing all these tutorials, your viewers may be able to take their crafting to the next level.
@@jackangelfoot8638 Let's not forget about gauntlets! 😍
Prince Armory I would love to see some greaves
Just bought the pattern, can't wait to go home and make one now. Great work and thanks for sharing
Amazing! You explain simply how to do it. I will surely try it at home. Thank you!
These videos inspire so much. Makes it look easy. Ive been watching tutorials for awhile now as i want to learn how to do all of this.
Your videos honestly inspire me to try leather working. I have been cosplaying for the past 3 years now and have always wanted to try my hand in leather working, and honestly, your videos help inspire me to try it. I'm excited to try it out
Good luck with your projects!
I'm very glad you mentioned sizing at the very beginning, because for armor (any armor) if you want a good fit you need to modify any pattern to fit your body correctly -- with loose fitting in mind. Suits should fit snuggly, not armor. Unless you're in the Matrix and your armor IS a suit.
Awesome work...the front looks awesome! Glad youtube randomly suggested this
Oh it's AWESOME! Sorry I missed this when you dropped it. Dorian had other plans.
just bought your pattern during black friday. I am so excited to start now. I'll promise to show you the end result when done.
It's just gorgeous.
I love the fact that you made it articulated. A truly underused commodity although a big game changer!
Indeed!
Oh My God, this is AMAZING and that Helmet you made This is the stuff My Dreams are Made of.
Thanks so much! I just started doing the leather work, and this is some very helpful stuff. Keep it up! Every time I see one of your videos, I get excited for the project I'm about to get into.
Thank you
This gotta be the best looking piece of armor you have done so far (in the tutorial series, i mean)
Thank you
This is the video that pushed me to start leather working... I found out Tandy Leathers is only about 45 mins away so i went and got my starter kit... This chest piece is what i want to make most of all.
Gorgeous piece, love the color scheme! A brief glance at your website blew my mind more than this video. Amazing work!
Thanks!
I recently built the helmet as my first big piece and it shows off the best. Watching this video, I see you using the orange foam chunks for doing the rough-in work on dying. I find that the foam wedge brushes work quite well for edge work near the lines. They are cheap, disposable, and will hold a reasonably sharp edge, even after the spirits in the dye cause the foam to swell.
amazing dude, i stayed entertained the whole time and u inspired me to start leather working, i love hands on things and this looks like so much fun
Every time I hear your voice I feel a mix of, I need to craft right now, and I need to give you a great big hug 'cause you're so freaking awesome
This video is excellent and helped me answer some questions I had about some upcoming outfits I want to put together. thanks!
This was so helpful, thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Glad to help!
The fly at 7:19 was a nice touch! I enjoy informational videos with touches of comedy! Great work
Thank you
@@Princearmory The 4k quality is much appreciated. Looks great bro!
Knee pad with metal bowls makes a great forming tool and can give you a LOT of leverage.
This looks great, I'm currently making an armor that uses a lot of red and black. Time to make myself a home made bust.
Good luck!
Your videos are top notch...the quality is beyond reproach.
Most of the time, in videos like these, I find the music distracting and contrary to the theme. Thank you for having music that isn’t annoying or too loud. Love your content, can’t wait for more.
It's a tough balancing act, and not easy to decide genre. I mix it up, some people like some vids music more than others
8:18 The Red Hills by Jo Wandrini for those few interested :) Samuel I love your videos even though I have no skill, equipment or intend to do it myself. thanks for sharing
Holy hell this was incredible. Love the work put into letting us know how things are done and why. Really appreciate it. Keep up the great work! I'll be coming back for more for sure.
man i love it, loads to learn, i am pretty new to this, but this might be the thing i am looking for for the summer medieval festival
I do appropriate the alternatives you give to some of the tools you use. Really helps lower the barrier to entry into the hobby.
Yeah it's really easy to get started, but also easy to look at a professional's tool set and get overwhelmed.
How can one dislike such great Craftmanship?! Folks...
Can't wait for the materials list. Bought this pattern as a first time project.
Ive been wanting my own set of leather armor and u made me want to make my own instead of buying it...Thanks.. Cant wait to get started.
This is exactly! what I been looking for, going to make this for my larp, thank you so much and keep making these awesome videos.
Thats what they're here for, good luck!
Holy shit i dont know how this made it to my youtube recommendations but holy dang im glad it did. Enjoyed it so much that I didnt even realized i just watch a whole 20 minutes video. Subbbed
Nice, Thanks
Hey there! Happened across your video via TH-cam Recommendations; totally worth the watch! Awesome tutorial, and amazing work! Definitely found yourself a new subscriber! Thanks Samuel Lee!
i absolutly LOVE this video, massive props to you for doing this. Something that would be cool to see is maybe somthing about how to take care of leather
Wow! I dont leatherwork currently (yet always interested in doing so) but man oh man this makes me was to dive right in! So from me this was a beautiful video to stumble across. So thank you kindly for creating it :)
these videos cater to a pretty specific audience but one that will most likely love them
Very true, but it is also a very underserved audience. I started leatherworking about four and a half years ago and would have killed for tutorials like this to get started! It's great to see this information being shared rather than hoarded.
I'm liking these videos! Thanks for your hard work.
I run out of words before such excellent work!
Amazing! I cant wait to build it! Im finishing up the helmet now. Just need to paint the trim!
You can use a kettlebell as a forming tool. I've used one for a few years and it works great
Good idea
OMG! What a great work!👏👏👏
This is beautiful! I very much want to do a full set with this design you have been showing us for a couple of months, but I don't have a workspace for the moment. Be assured I'll be buying all these templates as soon as I can work on it!
Nice, thanks!
This is what I need. Leather ARMOR!!
Maybe ill stop getting kidnaped or imprisoned.
Вау! Это просто супер! Я в восторге! То что Вы делаете заслуживает высокой оценки! Молодцы!
Thanks again for another great product and video! I cant wait to get started making mine.
Thank you!
Definitely makes me glad to see.someone else who uses the drill to make holes.
Hi Prince Armory. I have been drooling over your leatherwork for years. You are the most amazing leatherworker Iv seen! Thank you so much for making this videos, they are so helpfull!!! 😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍
"Sad tube of leather" is now my goto phrase for ppl that annoy me.
lol nice
I was going to say "Sad tube of leather is how I'm going to call my ex"
@@Princearmory you have the PDF of that armor
Awesome tutorial!
Somehow the speed up hammer tapping sounds very pleasant. :D
Stunning! Always enjoy watching your videos. Truly an artist!
Thank you!
I love your work. I’m waiting on the dragon tiger pattern to come out. Then I’m gonna figure out which set I like that matches. Thanks for sharing your awesome work
Tiger dragon is a custom piece, no patterns will be made available for that.
you make it looks so easy... your work is amazing! thank you for share it!
It's not difficult, but it gets easier with time.
great video dude, hope things are goin well for all you guys!
Awesome!
I'll follow and learn the entire process.
Super thanks to share your experience.
Merci!
Thanks!
Sweet!!! Thank you! It is gorgeous!
Thanks!
Wow, after this video, I seriously wanna get into leatherworking!!! Great vid by the way, looks easy to follow and explains really well the steps and the reasons why you do it! Keep up the great tutorials, you just got yourself a new sub!
Thank you
Amazing video, still blows my mind that your channel hasnt blown up yet. Please keep up with all the awesome work!
Thanks
This is gorgeous!
This is freaking awesome and an inspiration to start working on my won projects!
Great, thanks!
I don't know how I get this video in recommended, but I subscribed! Its cool!!!
What a fascinating video!
This is very cool. I wish I had the space, money, and patience to learn how to do this sort of thing.
don't need much of any of those, what you actually need is a will to do it.
Love this video and this series. I've been a fan since seeing the white paladin armor on DA years ago, and am happy to see you sharing your process with those wanting to get into this (IMO) very rewarding hobby.
I did cringe a little around the 6 minute mark though when you were aiming your edge beveler right at your hands. I've had that slip enough times to keep those out of the way of the beveling tool lol
Another amazing pattern! Can't wait to see the distressing video. You could also use a light box to line up the patterns, or what I do is line them up by placing them on one of my windows on a sunny day while I tape them together. Would love to see greaves of some kind. Lots of cosplay uses different things that look like boots and you could attach the sabaton to them.
Lightbox and window is fine, a little more shuffling around to get it done though. Of course not everyone will have a larger layout space to do it my way so to each their own of course.
Ok, this solves my Knight of the Dragon breastplate issue! I was racking my brains last night, trying to figure out how to make something I can actually move & sit down in (I'm building most of it from craft foam). I have a feeling if I make the main sections out of craft foam, then cover that with individual leather scales, it'll be stiff enough to keep its shape, but not too heavy or bulky.
why have I never heard of a swivel knife before! subscribed
I so enjoy watching you work. You have such a beautiful fluid motion.
Thank you
Great work !
It has come the final video I needed!
Possibly, there may be some you didn't know you needed, stay tuned!
@@Princearmory I will always be watching your videos. I think the best part will be that once I have completed a full set and understand the basics of how armor moves and works I will be able to make my own custom creations.
Another great video! I'd love to see some leg armor next.
That's definitely on the way
love it ,, thanks for sharing. very nice!
I really need to make a green version with slightly different patterning for a Green Knight effect ... thanks for sharing and showing
This is like watching Bob Ross but it's how to make fantasy armor and not painting. This is very calming
haha nice
Wow 😮 great job !
absolut genial und ich wünschte ich könnte das verstehen und ich wüsste wie es geht aber absolut genial
my new favorite channel ....hats off to you sir ....u got mad skillz
Thanks much!
Completely amazing
I would love to see you make a fantasy samurai armor out of leather like that!
simply beautiful. Incredible job.
I've really enjoyed watching you videos and look forward to the next one.
Thank you'
Awesome as always man keep doing what your good at.
Thanks
Loved the video it was a great help keep it up
I love these tutorials. I bought the suit template pack and I really can't wait to get started. The only question I have is how do you make the distressed look in the leather?
Iwill probably never make one of these, but this looks amazing. Well done
8:32 omg the music is so calming. And then the fly part got me dead 😂
Well, once I finish the patterns I have bought, I will be getting this.
Cool, thanks!
Opens video, sees armor says "yep" and subscribed
I'm very interested in how you accomplished the distressed look on this armor set. Very much looking forward to that video when it is released. I'm planning to make a set of spaulders and bracers using the patterns I bought from your website. The are intended for a barbarian style of cosplay outfit that I think would benefit greatly from the distressed/worn look you put into this cuirass.
awesome armor, nice colors
Respect for the master!
Thanks
100% gonna try making that out of steel, keep up the goodwork im waiting for a new vid
Good luck!
wow thenk's for all of us
looks like armor from for hono,r also I LOVE the swivel knife part!!!!!!
Incredible!
Looks amazing!
Thank you
