This is the first time I've commented on a TH-cam video in over a decade, but I must say that the bit in here about using masking tape to hold your pattern still while you cut with the rotary cutter has revolutionized my tailoring!
Looks absolutely dope! Make a wizard cloak to match with an inside sheath for the wand (like you did with for the throwing knives inside the Rogue’s cloak). The War Wizard is REALLY coming along!
I congratulate You on the wonderful video in which You presented the tailoring and sewing of the hood from movie stories! BRAVO! I like it and it would be nice to wear it with a cape.
I love watching your videos! You're not afraid to really say what you feel. It's refreshing. You clearly look like you're having fun while making cool stuff.
This channel is the so.. so.. so.. so good! why on earth this does not have a million views akready?! the enthusiasm alone deserve more than a few hundred thousand views.
I want you to make a video on custom belt buckles, and/or Aragorn's sword. I mean with all the lotr fandom here it's the perfect fit. Love the channel, it's so addictive, keep it up. Lot's of love from the frozen north (Norway).
you're solidifying my cosplay piece by piece with your projects of badassery bro!! much thanks!! the chrome tan leather for your hood was inspirational af ima use some as well for mine. lil different, but you'll see it when i get it done.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Great enthusiasm and your imagination seems endless. Your ability to carry out your visions is absolutely incredible and you do so with such ease. You truly are very talented and your work is not only beautiful, but pieces of art. A small tip. There are Teflon presser feet for sewing machines for sewing leather. In a pinch, a plastic straw can be placed over the foot, with similar results. Please keep doing what your doing and thank you for putting in the time and effort you do, thus allowing your viewers countless hours of enjoyment. Best regards !
Had to watch this again because it came up in my list. Should be able to like it again! lol But I wanted to answer a thing you stated on here about not sure if the chrome tan would move around if you prepunched the holes. Answer: Yes it could. However, glue or tape like you did would have been fine. I make guitar straps and have no problem putting the two together. The chrome tan I use is deer tan. Super supple too!
you needed a walking foot for this. with thicker material the sewing machine tends to struggle with moving both sides in tandem. a walking foot moves the top layer while the feed dogs move the bottom layer
I love how enthusiastic you are about this stuff and I've honestly learned a lot from your channel. I've been making chainmaille and leather for quite a few years and truly appreciate the new tricks you've shown me to save loads of time!
I am glad you're finding the channel useful and enjoyable! I hope you share your projects at some point so we can show them off on an episode sometime 😁
I don't know how you do don't have like a million subs . your videos are awesome and sense of humor is great. By the way now you just cost my wife more money for my bday,but i have to wait a month. that blue leather is beautiful. I haven't played with chrom leather yet..... now looks like something i would do maybe with a shoulder pauldron.
so, i've been reading the Spellmonger book series by Terry Mancor, and that hood would fit well for one (if not many) of the side characters. Namely Azar, the so called "Sion of Death." he's got a bit of a flair for the dramatic :D
Something you could do for leather sticking to the sewing machine's foot is to wrap the seam with paper, or if it's an internal seam, use painter's (blue) tape as it won't pull the nap up too much, The tape will slide across the foot, while allowing enough pressure to make the advancement work. I did that on a cloak I am making and had no problems. Agreeing with other commenters, I feel you may have to go with Weaver or others for sponsorship. My local Tandy's store says they don't do sponsorships. Whether that is a local or corporate decision, I don't know. I do know Weaver sponsors Prince Armory, who does leather armor. another source for cheap light leather is look for a secondhand store near an airplane fabricator. Locally, I have a Falcon Jet facility that donates scrap/extra leather to a place called Habitat for humanity/ Re-Store. I get large pieces of upholstery leather for $1/lb. It takes a Fiebing's dye very well.
I know it is a year-old comment at this point, but it may help someone. I live in an apartment complex. Keep an eye out by the dumpsters towards the end of the month when people might be moving out. A few quick swipes with your pocket knife can get you a nice sized piece of lightweight leather from the back of a discarded couch or chair.
All ways a pleasure watching your vids btw that half vest is awesome. Much love To all the people who make these videos possible and thank you again more projects to make soon as I’m done my half plate half scale mail
I bet Weaver Leather would sponsor you, or maybe Springfield Leather Co.. Tandy isn't the only player in this game, so long as you don't mind ordering online!
UHHHhhhHhh I LOEVVE iTIIT !!!!!! this is EXACTLY what i was looking for, also your videos are always so put together and organized and I really appreciate that (just letting you know :DD)
Your videos popped up in my feed. Watched a few of them. This is the video I subscribed with. Nothing special about this video, just that after the random shuffle of videos I decided to double check and saw I hadn’t subscribed yet. Keep up the good work.
Looks amazing, I've got a fairly lightweight cotton cloak that I've waterproofed, but I'd like to remove the hood and add a leather hood and mantle to it. I wonder if you've got any suggestions on how to go about that or would I be better doing it from scratch
@@Scalesthelizardwizard try and run into battle, or away from a dragon with both. As you go back to pick up your hat, you'll see the hood is superior. Other than possibly peripheral vision.
How'd you go with it? I was similarly surprised with how simple a hood pattern is when I made one, enough that I was able to tweak it exactly to my specs basically freehand. Attaching it to the main costume piece, on the other hand...
Oh man, please tell me you've made a pattern for this and that you're going to sell it on the website. I play battlemages most of the times at LARPs and I've always wanted a hood like this! 😍
I've been looking for a hood like this for years, my coats don't have one so when it rains i need an unbrella, so far I've not found anything i can buy online (also because of my long hair wich i keep in a bun and don't really go well with generic hoods), so i think my best bet will be to make it myself, and thanks to this video it's gonna be easier
Huh...that chest portion would also make a nice gorget if you put some more veg tan on the shoulders and add D loop belts to secure pauldrons... Excuse me a moment *starts furiously taking notes and measurements
I need to level up my pattern making skill for sure. I made a hood recently from a pattern I bought and it looks great, but having that specific fit is perfect. Guess I'll see if my wife wants to duct tape me.

Also Cl3ver: 😐
🤣 the EXCITE is on the inside.
@@SkillTree 🤣🤣
This is honestly just what I needed rn
Glad you enjoyed it!😁
It's close enuf to what I needed right now that it works perfectly, making something similar from a sabretooth comic panel
I congratulate You on the wonderful video in which You presented the tailoring and sewing of the hood from movie stories! BRAVO! I like it and it would be nice to wear it with a cape.
Absolutely get a walking foot attachment, it'll help push those thicker materials through the machine.
Thank you for the tip! I will!
This is a really nice project. You should try to make battle gloves ( or even gloves to keep your hands warm)
I love watching your videos! You're not afraid to really say what you feel. It's refreshing. You clearly look like you're having fun while making cool stuff.
Thank you so much for watching my stuff! It really is a boatload of fun! I am glad you are enjoying it.
Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl for the win
This video doesn't have close to the views it deserves!

BAMF work as always, sir! The accent pieces and the folded edging just made it look totally professional.

It was a total life saver!

You just made my day
@@mythologymania4365 and you made mine!
Dude, that turned out beautiful! Great work!
Thank you so much! I am so happy it turned out how it did 😁

You can also use a wood plane to get the lether thinner.
Great tip!
I bet that'd look super dope with an attached cloak

We gotta bring hoods back into modern fashion
i’m in love with this piece 😍
So impressive!
I think I am going to make one for my bush craft ger and go full on adventure look freaking epic
Great job and nice earring pick!
Thanks! I love those ones😁

Thank you for the love! I'm glad you are enjoying my content😁
You should add like a cape or cloak to it so that it gives you that wizardy look. Just an idea
Stick masking tape to the bottom of the pressure foot and it won’t stick to the leather as much. :)
this project is so badass :D very very cool
Pretty, pretty epic!! :D Well done bro!
Thanks, bro!😄
I like the longer episodes 🙂
I like making them! Thank you for watching!
Probably one of my new favorite channels, tbh. Love nerd shit!
Excellent! And you do look pretty badass with all the make-up.
id use green or black and make it a rangers hood or bandits
I bet that would look AMAZING!
@@SkillTree I saw this and immediate thought of how awesome it would look in green for a Green Arrow or Robin Hood cosplay. Keep up the great work!
Weave a basket! Or a straw hat. Or a hat basket!
Your videos popped up in my feed. Watched a few of them. This is the video I subscribed with. Nothing special about this video, just that after the random shuffle of videos I decided to double check and saw I hadn’t subscribed yet. Keep up the good work.
You could combine the design of the cowl with a cloak
Looks amazing, I've got a fairly lightweight cotton cloak that I've waterproofed, but I'd like to remove the hood and add a leather hood and mantle to it. I wonder if you've got any suggestions on how to go about that or would I be better doing it from scratch
Love it, and Highly entertained:)
You had me at mage btw what do you guy like more mage hoods or wizard hats
I think I fall in the hood camp. Just love the feel/look.
@@SkillTree Same
@@Scalesthelizardwizard try and run into battle, or away from a dragon with both. As you go back to pick up your hat, you'll see the hood is superior. Other than possibly peripheral vision.
@@azraelf.6287 that's why I like hoods pull it down and hide behind everyone then fireball
Ok I'm a beginner but you made that hood pattern creation look like a sinch! I'm totally gonna try to make a prototype.

Oh yeah, can't way for it!
The pattern for the War Mage hood is out now--I found this video from the announcement!
@@kilo3989 Thanks for warning me, even though I saw the announcement myself! Haha
You need to make robes metal gauntlets boots and chestplate to go with the hood
I've been looking for a hood like this for years, my coats don't have one so when it rains i need an unbrella, so far I've not found anything i can buy online (also because of my long hair wich i keep in a bun and don't really go well with generic hoods), so i think my best bet will be to make it myself, and thanks to this video it's gonna be easier
Well, guess now you need a war mage tunic to go with that war mage hood lol
You....are correct!😂
walking foot for the machine and leather needle Or heavy duty needle.
you should do a wooden sword and sheath
Oh I want one😃
Oooooh what about metallic tips for the hood. Like a leather necktie
This totally looks like a Thalmor hood.
You mention the inspiration for this hood, but I failed at getting the name could you send a link t this image you show at 1:00 ?
I wear Hoodies as much as I can cus they make me feel like a mage
Huh...that chest portion would also make a nice gorget if you put some more veg tan on the shoulders and add D loop belts to secure pauldrons...
Excuse me a moment *starts furiously taking notes and measurements
How are you going to were the gorget and the hood?
War Mage Hood: AC: 20 increases Mana, Mana Regen, and Magic Resistance by 100
Where were you able to find the chrome thread for the sew awl?
I can't find the pattern for this in your website, is it not available for purchase?
I need to level up my pattern making skill for sure. I made a hood recently from a pattern I bought and it looks great, but having that specific fit is perfect. Guess I'll see if my wife wants to duct tape me.
🤣 mine was surprisingly willing to during some of my other builds. Perhaps I should be worried🤔
👍👍👍👍
Fireball!
what is it for leather? Syntetick?
You don't by chance have a pattern available do you?
In the process of making one. Should be done next week 😁
@@SkillTree good deal cause I'll get it from ya
What type of leather was used?
Chrome tanned ( Blue leather )and veg tanned.
@@robertsherman9975 thx a mil
Contact Weaver Leather, maybe they will sponsor you instead of tandy
Blue is my favorite what's yours
