@@SkillTree Heck yeah! Also, I don't know if you've made one. But I think you could make a killer leather utility belt that would go great with everything you've made so far.
About those slits you cut for additional straps and the sheath: If you punch holes in the leather at the endpoints of the proposed slits then 'connect the dots' with your knife, the slits will be neater and resist additional ripping. (I picked up this tip from Tony at Dieselpunk and from Chuck at LeatherElement. I've heard you mention both.)
Amazing video, and that's coming from an archer! If anyone wants to copy this design keep in mind that Cl3ver is shooting a bow left handed (bow in right hand, drawing the arrow with the left hand) if your a right handed archery, just put the pocket and the knife on the other side and this will work perfectly for you
I've been shooting traditional archery since I was 6. I'm now 56 and make my own gear. Some of his placement seemed odd to me until I saw he was a lefty. The only additions I'd consider is possibly lining the quiver and cut a piece of rawhide to attach to the inside of the butt plate to protect it from arrow tips. Now the only thing missing is a matching forearm guard. That said, this is a beautiful piece. Love the pattern. Definitely gives me ideas for my next project.
Just wanted to throw a 'thank you' for this video. I don't actually work with leather - I'm a 3D character designer. And learning how all the bits fit and layer and tie and bolt together has been invaluable for making my 3D models look more realistic.
UNREAL ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS IS JUST WOW... AND DETAILS, YES YOU ARE RIGHT YOU KNOW THE DETAILS, AND THAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THE ART. JUST LIKE MY WANDS... OVER THE YEARS, MORE AND MORE DETAILS, THEN MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT... ALL IN THE DETAILS... LOVE IT... THANK...!
Great job! I love how you did it! Great color choice! Looks stylish and truly fantasy. Magnificent quiver. You raised your level to serious professionalism.
By the way, you can use copper buckles. Copper can be aged in ammonia vapor and then polished. It will look more antique. Depending on the time spent in the fumes, the depth of the patina can be adjusted. Usually I use a plastic jar, in the lid of which I make a hole for the hook. At the bottom of the jar, I pour quite a bit of ammonia, I hang the product on the lid and close it so that the object hangs without touching the liquid. Experiment with a piece of copper wire. I think you'll like it.
I love the craftsmanship speech and it really makes me wish I could like this video twice (I actually tried, before I remembered that hitting like twice takes the first like away… my bad).
I'm sure you've heard this a million times by now, but you'll wanna slick the edges after you dye your pieces. furthermore, you can get edge bevelers to round the edges a little more before slicking and it makes it look even more finished and professional. just my two cents, you did some awesome work for someone who's just trying things until they work.
I've been a subscriber for a long time...and recently began watching again. I wanted to tell you that YOU SIR gave me the inspiration and confidence to begin leather work. Thank you for the awesome videos!
@@SkillTree Should have added silver like in book making instead of black or sew through it with silver thread ( or maybe gold thread ? or gold instead of silver ( i dunno if they use gold foil or gold paint though ) ). Would have been even more elvish
Thank you so much! It's kind of fun for me to look back and see the skill grow too. This channel is a fun video journal for me, it turns out! Thank you for being part of the journey!
all you need now is a cloak that can hide you in the shadows and an oak leaf necklace and youre set for a badass ranger cosplay great series btw rangers aprrentice
@@SkillTree I'm currently working on a leather cloak. The pattern is from Butterick's and the leather is 2 upholstery full hides. The leather is pre-dyed, but if you can get it in a light shade, it will accept Fiebings pro-dye like a boss. It just goes together with a sewing machine.
Awesome quiver my man . I understand that you are genually proud, I would be too, it is one of the most beautyfull quivers that i have ever seen. Keep up the good work my friend.
That quiver is seriously AWESOME! I will say I'm a little surprised you didn't wetform the pocket into the rectangular shape you had been mentioning during the pattern stage
That quiver is fantastic! Want to try another? Try a Mongol quiver for horse archery. Very different. I'm thinking of making one, but it would save me a bunch of time if you did it first!
Great vid, been an archer since I was young. Have some hip quivers, no shoulder quiver yet, looks great going to make myself one of these, something else to add to my make list.
Skill Tree Will do, still working on the helmet, given up on transferring my design to the helmet, as can not get the design to transfer to the leather cleanly so I can see and tool. Also went with stitching than riveting, currently procrastinating over the stitching I need to do to finish the helmet cap, going to try and finish it this weekend.
That build is beautiful! A really professional looking piece of leatherwork. I would like to see a pair of boots next. That is a build I've wanted to tackle for a long time. I love this channel. Oh and go check your mic...
Wow the leather work on this is amazing, the tooling on the front with that stamp is really great, makes me want to make my own and go hunting orcs 🤘 I would like to see you make a rangers sword to complete your equipment, not necessarily out of steel but maybe one made out of epoxy resin and wood could be very cool and a new skill to learn
I love it! I think I'll try to make one as well! The only thing I've struggled with "over the shoulder" style quivers.... Keeping the arrows from all falling out when you need to bend over. I have a snap on quiver on my recurve bow. The arrows snap into place. It's easier. I don't know how to solve the issue of keeping your arrows in place yet accessable during all movements??
Wow what an awesome design! My neighbor asked me to make one for cosplay and real use. I'm going to design mine after this one. Thank you! I always love your videos! (Also, go Tandy Leather!) I think I'm going to use a monkey paw to hold the pocket closed. I've been using them on my pouches, and it's so easy plus looks good. Much thanks again!
26:26 Or you have shot your arrow into the backboard, tree, root, branch & you need a knife to dig it out. A Very nice quiver & practical build instructions. Thank you. You might consider adding an internal fur or soft collar, beneath the sight line, to impede arrows falling out, if you were running around, or reduce the rattle sounds.
Skill Tree I’ve done many leather projects I have some on my channel and I put everything on Facebook as well 😁 I’m working on a leather backpack with patterns from deiselpunk
Going to attempt this and a few arrows in the morning. Absolutely love the finished product you created ❤ and also your process is very similar to mine; when in doubt, just try what you think should work lol it is surprising what a little confidence and motivation can create sometimes.
Wow ! Very nicely done. That's a very handsome piece of gear. If you were to sell it, I'm sure that you will get a high price for it. Again, AWESOME JOB.
Very nice project and I am wondering if you plan to make a shooting glove along with an armature and hand protector that would match up to it? I would love to see something like that.
Most back mounted quivers don’t work as well as hip quivers from what I understand. Yours doesn’t seem to have that problem. And it looks awesome to boot. Great job!
If you want to make it a real quiver, add copper scrubber to the bottom, it allows broadheads without dulling them(copper is very soft but no so soft they will cut through) it also stops them sliding around(broadhead or target points).
I always thought an open quiver with cork fixed to the inside of the bottem would be a nice addition. Would prevent the arrows from falling out when moving. But you could still easily set and remove them as well.
For some reason I personally think I prefer the look of hip Quivers or Quivers that go on like the lower back area so you reach behind or to your side, to pull the arrow instead of reaching over your shoulder
Always enjoyed watching your videos Mr. Squirrel you were one of the 2 videos i subed to when i started doing leather working. Sucks that shortly after i started i had to stop b/c i lost my job... but You do keep me interested in starting it back up. Another reason i kind of stopped for a bit is i cant for the life of me figure out how to Dye my armor White... I want to do a Snow Leopard themed chest piece and a Quiver as well (a hip quiver). Just need more money than my temp job gives me to start back up :/
Yeah, this is a mixed time for creators. More time to do stuff but significantly less money to do it with! As for the white leather, the only way I know is with acrylic paints. There are some made for leather projects. I have never tried using bleach on leather, I wonder if that would work at all.
Ahhh dude, I absolutely love this! I have a few hides and I've been planning on make a quiver or two, just haven't yet. Got a nice oil tanned that's gonna make a cool Skyrim inspired iron arrow quiver. Also, there's a serious lack of back quiver making videos on youtube, so I'm glad you showed everything! BTW, you should check into PVC bows, you can literally make like any kind of bow you want.
@@SkillTree I would suggest checking out Backyard Boyer then. He has the best tutorials for making various styles. Leaves zero guesswork on how it's done. I can totally see a nice elven bow in your future to go with your quiver!
Just be aware before you get too excited that you can’t really tool oil tan leather, especially with water. You have to hot stamp or burn the leather. I’ll be releasing a few leather working videos shortly, just haven’t had time to edit them with the Christmas order rush. I’d highly suggest veg tan if you’re doing any tooling or forming because oil/chrome tan does not respond to those methods
I was inspired to make some shoes, so I decided to run to my closest Tandys. 😢 It been there for decades but is now closed, now I have a 45 minute drive to the next one. Guess I can't blame them since the area they were in has turned very Knockturn Alley.
I LOVE THIS!!! I work with leather a lot and I've learned a lot from your videos!! great way to teach and your awesome at it. I do want to ask, where did you get the leather hide from, 8oz is pretty thick and from Tandy its like $169 for a 6-8 ft cut of leather, I would like to compare the pricing of the one you got. Thank you
Have you made a wrist guard at any point? I noticed your forearm was red from where the string slaps your wrist as you're firing your bow. If not I think it'd make a fantastic piece to add to your ranger outfit.
Ok, So you've made a bow, arrow, quiver, chest piece, cloak, and bracers. So I personally request a video of you wearing it ALL!
You got it! I will be doing that soon!
@@SkillTree Heck yeah! Also, I don't know if you've made one. But I think you could make a killer leather utility belt that would go great with everything you've made so far.
@@SkillTree Ah yes. One year ago.
@@SkillTree I just can't get it - how come you don't have 500k+ subs? Here's one from Bulgaria, hope you get there by the end of 2022!
@@invaderjae - And today they drop the Utility Belt requested 3 years ago...

That pouch is a great addition for items needed to upkeep your bow and arrows.
that strap through slit design for the pouches is actually genius to be honest, would have never thought of that myself
