    Thank you for linking the rivets. Every other leather tutorial just mentions them, but the ones I've bought aren't durable enough.

    I gotta say I've been leatherworking on and off for 10 years and you picked up on everything pretty quickly! Posted some stuff I made on my channel.

    Looks great! You can also wet your leather before dying, it will help it go on more evenly. Or put on a coat of diluted dye, using the appropriate diluter. Alcohol based diluter for alcohol based dyes, and water for water based dyes then add another coat of undiluted dye while its still wet.

    Helmet, cuirass, bracers, and greaves...i know you have a shield, sword, and a bow/arrows. Seems you're fully kitted out. Only thing i can see you're missing is a sword belt and scabbard

    Great video as always. Loved the idea for using graph paper for designs. And your method for the template was actually pretty genius.
    Another way you can get that edge border, is with a groover tool. They usually have an adjustable arm, so you can set a distance like the wing divider, but it actually cuts the groove as you're going.

    • @SkillTree

      Great tip! I had only been using it to set a stitch line. Thanks for the advice and for watching!

    Not sure if it's enough to warrant its own video, but it might be cool to add a 'clean up' segment the next time you work with dye and the like. Proper cleaning of brushes helps maintain their lifespan and there might be certain things like acrylic paint where the dirty water might best not be put down the drain.

    • @SkillTree
      @SkillTree  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great points to bring up! I have some leather vids that I worry will be short. That would be a perfect tip to add in! Thanks for the idea and for watching!

    Stick with the Pro Dye. You will get more consistent colour across projects

    Dude, your page is totally dope! The work you do is great, you're break downs are concise yet informative, the added clips or gifs are on point and I can totally tell you're around my age with the references lol, and you have a great sense of humor!
    What pulled me in is I'm in the beginnings of learning all this leather crafting too and I've also made my own bow...but lamely out of PVC pipe, but it works pretty effectively
    Keep up the awesomeness, if I think of anything down the line I'll be sure to comment! 👍

  • @Alagachak
    @Alagachak 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lol! Without seeing it anywhere, having used the plasticwraptape-technique in the past I was thinking yesterday about 'Wouldnt foil do an even better job?' Glad to see it worked so well. Also, guess what my next project is? ...yeah... greaves. Hillarious coincidence :D Got to send you a pic once I get done, which admittedly will take awhile given this weekend gonna go to fixing car. Bleh.
    Keep up the good work!

    Great vid, how’s about maybe doing the skills metalwork/woodworking by forging a sword or axe.

    • @SkillTree
      @SkillTree  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Or BOTH! 😁 I am looking to do an axe firstn as I can fit that in my current forge. I may need to upgrade to something a little larger before I make a sword. Thanks for the request and for watching!

    • @redwolf2901
      @redwolf2901 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Skill Tree That’s great, would love to see you make that. Could even etch the metal work with a design too. 😁

    Hey, awesome job!, I have been Leatherworking for 2 years now, Check out Dark Horse Workshop he has some good videos that you can learn some more from. A suggestion I would make is getting an Airbrush. I just discovered how freaking awesome it is for dyeing your leather. You can get that really professional looking fades on your leather, Like the dark brown edge to a lighter brown center. Another easy trick to help with your edge beveling, Bees Wax. It works really well and it's cheap.
    I can't wait for your next video!

    • @SkillTree
      @SkillTree  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great tip! I am definitely going to invest in an airbrush. Do you have any recommendations? I LOVE darkhorse. His artwork inspires me 😁👍. Thanks for watching!

    • @zedzknight
      @zedzknight 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I personally own a few, you average eBay special is good for a starter, I like gravity-fed one (just a cup on the top you pour into). They normally are pretty cheap like sub 100$, aim for one that comes with a compressor, hose, really the whole kit (your paying for the compressor). As for Good Airbrushes, there are a couple good companies, Like Badger, Paasche, Harder & Steenbeck, the one that gets talked about the most is Iwata, I personally own 3 Iwata, 2 Neo-CN (gravity fed, one for SPX Makeup, one for leather) and an Eclipse HP-BCS (siphon or bottle). I really want to get an Iwata HP-CS which is a Gravity fed version of the previous model I mentioned.
      The big difference between a Neo and an Eclipse is the price and quality. The Neo is a Starter and has a really small easy to lose Fluid Nozzle(its threaded and maybe 1/8 of an inch or smaller), which makes clean up and maintenance harder as its hard to clean the paint chamber if you forget to clean out your airbrush. The Eclipse has a larger and much easier to clean fluid nozzle (pressure fit). Shop around and do your research, any airbrush is better than no airbrush.
