This was done by Skill Tree a few months ago, but it's really cool to see the different approaches they take making the same map

Wow..., I mean.., this is just magnificent. It's astonishing what a creative mind and gifted hands can accomplish. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hardcore Nerdcore and I love it!

I MUST try this! What beautiful piece of work!

oh, the moment I saw the thumbnail i knew this was going to be another amazing video by Mr. Reach, your maps are the best sir, hats off.

Yes Daniel, you earned the thumbs up and then some.

Amazing!!!

That turned out amazing!!!!!!

Beautiful! One of my favorite stories.

I love maps!

Amazing. I would enjoy an slowed down version of this video with narration to explain it in detail. I would love to make something similar for my grandchildren.

I love this video! More please!

This is brilliant!! I love it! It makes me want to try it. Thank you for sharing!!

Amazing, wonderful, beautiful. great work!!!

Magnificent !!!

amazing.

Outstanding. I've been tempted to try this. Now I think I have to.

Great job on the Map Daniel. I'm kinda jealous. But I'll make mine soon. Lol

Awesome!! I have been wanting to do a map for my travel themed guest bedroom! This is awesome to see..thanks for the ideas and encouragement to start!

Great video! Lots of different technique involved here. The map turned out really well. When I first saw you add greenish paint to the border, I thought NOPE! but it worked at well in the end. I found this video format very relaxing to watch. The music was a good fit. I'd like to see a bit more real time work to get the feel of the technique involved and then speed it up. It all looks to easy when you speed things up. I hope you do more like this one.

Nice leatherwork and video production.

I really enjoyed this video. the amount of detail put into this and the Elven language were great. I still enjoy your old video style. but I like this one too.

Really awesome work! I had the itch to make rolled leather maps before, but the fear of screwing it up and ruining a whole split made me back off of the idea. I just don't have the control with a swivel knife yet and I certainly don't have the texture tools shown here. But, I think I might give it a go on a bit of scrap in the future, just to see how it comes out. I've used a woodburner kit on leather though, and you really need a light touch and a sponge soaked with water to make those work, for anybody thinking of trying that technique.

That is amazing 😃🤠 Nice job🙋🏻‍♀️

Wow!

I wish they still taught how to correctly hold pencils, pens, forks, spoons etc in school. The reason most people struggle with cursive and art where control is needed is because they never learned this in school as a kid. I remember how hard it was for me to learn the correct way, but im sure glad someone cared enough to teach me. I see grandparents already that cant hold a pencil correctly and it just makes me sad

Please do more!

Well I think we have a show off… Yes, I’m jealous!

Ive been talking about doing something like this for a while now. This is amazing.

How long did the whole project take,start to finish? I like the outcome . The color gave it a nice touch even though it looked very good before you added the color. I sometimes (most times)get caught up and just add and add and it looks great but alot of times was not really necessary. Great project, great result. Thank you for sharing

@danielreach5618 I love this piece and am starting my own project based on it. I have a pyro kit, but I was wondering with the amount of antiquing you did, did you find that you effectively covered most of your pyro work? I'm concerned about doing a lot of laborious pyro work and then having it cancelled with antique!

great work sir 👌

Daniel, XD had that map (the original) in mind as a project. Now I know how it could turn out. Very much considering getting a pyrography kit now too

Loved the video! I am making myself a desktop mat that is nautical themed and this gave me some great ideas. I’ve always thought it would be cool to make a board game out of leather.

Dude that's beautiful I wish I could do that

Nice, looks good! I’m always terrified to try and paint anything, I am severely colorblind lol.

I'm not really a tooling guy, but dang this might get me there 😂

So wouldn't you want to antique or paint it before you seal it? It seems counterproductive. It looks wonderful believe me - I'm just asking though because normally it's the reverse…the paint and antique cannot hold to the leather now or absorb into the pores

I'd have liked to see a shot of the whole map when it was done, but otherwise this was great! Thanks so much for sharing. Do you think the shaded details could have been done without a pyro kit? Or was that critical for roads and the mountains and names?

I love this project and the video! I love the music as well, but usually I would prefer audio narration of the steps (text is good as well, but I retain the info more with audio). What pyro kit are you using? I have seen wood burning kits but I don't remember ever seeing a leather specific one. Great video and keep them coming!

What weight leather did you use? I read below you cased it for a couple days, good tip.

How do you prepare the leather for stamping? I use proper vege tan leather, water it unitil it stops absorbing, then stamp while I keep adding moisture. However, I still have to hammer the living hell from my stamps for them to leave a mark.

Whelp, found my new project

You are truly an artist and I am just a redneck.

"What language is this" "Elvish (yes, its a thing)" Makes me realize that leatherworking has managed to bring together two of the most unlikely demographics. Old school saddle, knife sheath, and gun holster makers, and new school larp armor and fantasy nerds.

I wonder how long it took to make this

Did I like it? No. I flucking loved it.

Skill Tree made a better map, and a better video about it.
