Hello! Is the design you tooled available too? I love the leaves and the little acorn and I thought maybe I could add it to my gorget too. I just bought the pattern
Excellent work, I'm highly impressed. Your skiving knife is a really interesting design, where did you get it. There were some points in the video that make me nervous as hell though, you seem to cut toward yourself in a few places (though that could be and likely is just camera angle, your fingers were probably nowhere near as close to the blade as they looked) and that made me cringe hard. Still, highly enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Mike, the knife I’m using for skiving is actually called a Safety Beveler by the Tandy: tandyleather.com/products/safety-beveler I do have to unfortunately modify my hand and body positions, and work in ways I never would normally, so that what I’m doing is visible in the video 🙄 I agree that safety comes first, and all crafters should try to keep their hands out of the cutting path of their knives!
Very cool video! I love the gorget and how you filmed this video. I just wish you tooled something on the back. Even though my ponytail will cover the back of my (almost finished) gorget, I tooled some insignias just to be more “complete” I guess. I’ll Be sure to check out your other videos!
Yeah not a bad suggestion at all! I would have to charge more to have tooling on both sides though, so sometimes I try to reduce the tooling to make stuff more affordable.
Not the movement of the head or arms really, but if you shrug your shoulders it will move, and of course if you bend over, it'll probably fall around your ears.
@@universe8607 you would have to do some tests! I wouldn't recommend attaching it to anything, it would be difficult to get in and out of: you have to unbuckle the neck to be able to get it on and off, since the neck hole is smaller than your head size.
It's dependent on the thickness of the leather, I actually have several different lengths, between 4mm and 13mm long, but usually I'm using 8mm. They should be about 1-2mm longer than the thickness of the leather they're riveting.
Goodness this is so beautiful, the thistle too 😍✨ Thank you for taking the time to share!
Ooooh! Purrs as she watches!!!
A symphony of visuals, music and the sounds of creation.
Well done young lady . Great job seeing that red hair takes me back when I had red hair which has turned gray for some reason. Happy trails
My god you make it look so easy
Beautiful work!!!
Awesome is the best way to describe this
Hey great video but it would have been cool to see you putting it on and modeling for us .
Beautiful craftmanship. 👍🏼💯
Lovely
Thank you!
Wow,thanks for this tutorial! Love the music and the final presentation! Lovely items,hehe!
As a beginner who just bought the pattern, I wish you had included some step by step instructions
It's videos like this that got me into leather work! Very well done! Thanks for inspiring me!
I'm so glad! I hope you enjoy crafting :D
Beautiful work, once again; and a beautiful video. Have you made (or will you make) an archer’s bracer?
Definitely high on the list!
I am so excited to make this! I just bought the pattern and this video has got me pumped. Thank you!
Ooo! How exciting, I hope it turns out well! I've also just started a Patreon, if you're interested in learning more: www.patreon.com/foxesandravens
Great stuff!
Aw, thank you!
Who in the hell gave this a down vote? Wth.....good job ma'am. Excellent work
I asked myself that same question, haha! It happens so infrequently I'm just curious about what bothered them...

Sadly I haven't had the time to make any of my tooling artwork available for purchase, it's something I would love to do. Hopefully some day!
@@FoxesandRavens no problem! Your videos are really helpful and got me back into leathercrafting, so thanks anyway ❤️❤️

How big do the buckles need to be? ❤️
I believe the straps in the pattern are 5/8", but it could be 1/2" as well: the most important thing is that your straps match your buckles.
What is the width of the head of those rivets? They look about 10mm wide?
I believe they're 8mm, standard double cap rivets
@@FoxesandRavens Thank you!
it looks awesome! does it restricts movement in any way?
Not the movement of the head or arms really, but if you shrug your shoulders it will move, and of course if you bend over, it'll probably fall around your ears.
@@FoxesandRavens but it shouldn't fall off if you attach it to the vest?
@@universe8607 you would have to do some tests! I wouldn't recommend attaching it to anything, it would be difficult to get in and out of: you have to unbuckle the neck to be able to get it on and off, since the neck hole is smaller than your head size.
@@FoxesandRavens that's true, but it's expected that a multi piece armor might take a while and even help of another person to take it off
Show...👏👏

what size rivets did you use?
