Epic Leather Armor - DIY Making a Leather Chest Plate / Cuirass

Күн бұрын

Leather Armor is something I've decided to focus more on, and I'm really enjoying myself. Today we have my build of the breast and back for my new suit of medieval armor that I've been working on. There are now three parts to it, this Cuirass / Chest and Back Plate, the Shoulders, and a Gorget. Be sure to check out the other videos and stop by my website for the pattern.

That is beautiful. I love my kids, but they are antithetical to the inspiration your art provides me for getting back into leather working as a hobby. Keep going, its only another 3-4 years until I get going again!

it reminds me of the WHFB Vampire Counts Blood Dragon Knights almost, really similar vibe and feel with how a friend painted his up back in the day.

Seperating the "bottom and top" of the cuirass along with pointier pauldrons would be all that needs to be modifed to make my battlemage armor. Lovely pattern!

Looks awesome! I love that brass on black look. Maybe call it the Draconic Inquisitor set if you haven't chosen a name yet.

@arhont7485 8 ай бұрын

I personally find combination of Tokonole and wax working best together, mostly because Tokonole makes edges really smooth but it doesn't like water. Beeswax add additional waterproofness. Thank you for your work, it's amazing

Hi Magnus, Coming along nicely. As for a name how about an homage to Jordan Peterson? Call it the Lobster. A creature of hierarchy and dominance. Hehehe.

@handyman7119 8 ай бұрын

I agree with this. The whole piece reminds me of a lobster tail. I'd be partial to calling it The Norwegian Lobster, Langouste, or Larry (SpongeBob reference)

Great video, as always, but if I were to pick a name...Fallen Valkyrie Armor? I don't know, that pattern and the Red Wings symbol in the center compared to everything else seems to be the closes thing I can think of. Cause, Succubus/Incubus/Succubi Armor let alone Hell Armor doesn't grasp it as much. It's more turn bad for the right reasons, like Horus.

Love your armor! What size laser cutter bed is your svg files optimized for? I use a glowforge which is 12”x20”

@DarkHorseWorkshop 8 ай бұрын

I haven't really gotten into optimizing them for anything since they range a lot in size. Would be hard to say. Depends on the pattern

Hi sir! I'm trying to make my own leather armor based on this video it feels amazing but I just can't get it to look a certain color, how would you paint leather if you would wanted it to look metallic yet very dark black?

@thomasdonahue180 6 ай бұрын

Hi there! I'm actually doing very similar and I've found the best way is to use metallic mini pants as a dry brush on the carving. For the shine of metal it is inadvisable to paint the entire thing so I recommend using resolene or another finish that buffs to a shine. When light hits the armor it will have a sheen like metal.

Bat wings in the center, could be the Dark Vesper Armor, vespertilio is bat in latin.

Hi, would the result be an epic failure if made with 6oz leather? My trusted supplier doesn't stock anything heavier...

@jasonchaney5382 8 ай бұрын

All those brass rivets make my left eye twitch. I've been doing too much of that lately. Cool stuff though. I've always wanted to make armor, but I don't cosplay. So what the hell would I do with it once I did? Here's a question I've been thinking about lately... have you tried using the laser to score (or cut) the lines in your carving patterns? Seems like it could save a bunch of time.

@TonyStyx1 8 ай бұрын

You could LARP with it! Find a local Amtgard, SCA, etc. group near you and show up with kickass armor!

How many square feet of leather do you think it would take to make this.

@jacksalt2997 6 ай бұрын

Can I ask.. say you were working on a project and you have carved in a pattern, wet formed it to the desired shape.. could you then hot water harden it afterwards or would it loose is shape?

@DarkHorseWorkshop 6 ай бұрын

I'd experiment. It'll certainly work, but hell just hot water without carving can cause some interesting distortion sometimes. I'd do a test and write temps and stuff in a book, length of time etc. until you got it down. You know what... that's a great idea for a video... leathercarving... then hardening.. hmmm...

You may know how to make armor but you don't have the slightest clue how to instruct people how to make them for their self. You assume WAY to much and do not go into nearly enough detail. Five minuets of this video could be deleted and it would not affect of what instruction on making the armor is actually here.

Lots of people have no problems with my videos. I apologize if my hours of work and 100% free content doesn't cut it for you. Can't please everyone.
