No but it gave me an idea for a medieval inspired hip bag.

how long you been making leather armour

I hope you did it?

Thanks! I took overhead footage for this one, but wasn't sure if it added anything here. I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

@@HiddenLibraryLeatherworks where is?

It can be difficult. In the wider leatherworking world, leather this thick has pretty limited uses. That said, if you have a Tandy Leather Factory near you, I'd take a trip and let them know what you're looking for. They'll often have remnants or smaller pieces that you can look through and may even be able to point you to exactly what you're looking for. The key thing here is to make sure that you get 12+ oz vegetable tanned leather.

I honestly can't speak from experience on this one. 12 oz leather is pretty thick -- 3/16" as you noted, but it may be worth stepping up to something like Sole Bend leather which typicaly clocks in around 15-16oz thick or 15/64"-1/4" thick. I will note that this leather is significantly more difficult to work, though!

I keep looking for a video on Arm Pads for welders because I'm trying to make one for myself and this video is all I came across. I have a pretty think leather I'm using to make mine I just cut out the arm pad right now and need to do the straps for it

For the tongue of the buckle itself? It can vary depending on what look you're going for, but I like to center the first hole 1.5-2x the width of the strap in from the end. For example, with a 3/4" (19mm) width strap, I would generally look to center the first hole around 1 1/8" (28mm) to 1.5" (38mm) from the end of the strap. For straps less than 1" wide (I almost always use either 1/2" or 3/4" width straps), a good rule of thumb is to space the center of the holes the width of the strap apart. For wider pieces (e.g. a 1.5" wide belt), 1 1/8" between holes is a good starting point. To put it in context, on a 3/4" wide strap, I would center the first hole about 1.25" from the end of the strap, then space each of the three holes 3/4" apart. For best results, use the center hole as the 'correct' hole for the sizing you need -- this will allow it to be tightened or loosened as necessary. That said, a lot of it is personal preference as well -- you can do more or less, as long as you make sure there's enough strap left over to route through the other end of the buckle or any keeper you might be using.

Hey Brayden! I do not currently have my patterns available online, but will be making them available in the near future. In the meantime, you can make your own by measuring your wrist, the widest part of your forearm, and the length from wrist to elbow. I would recommend adding 0.5" - 1" in your wrist measurement.

Tape is a very bad idea. It leaves residue and will ruin the finish
