For future EVA projects I highly suggest a blade sharpener! Honestly it is wicked worth it to invest in a whetstone and leather strop, for sharpening and blade aligning, but a basic kitchen knife sharpener (like the kind you pull the edge of the knife through a coarse, then fine sharpening sections!) work wonders as well!! EVA foam will absolutely eat the edges of your blade, but having a sharpener/leather strop aligner on hand will extend their life and save your sanity quite a bit!!!
I like the artwork on the endplate, and think that would make a really cool 'wrought iron' sculpture out of whatever you can think to make it out of and it still look like wrought iron. Maybe even a cool collection with different colored crystals at the center...
Or large or complicated pieces like your detail work Odin makes showed. You can put a piece of paper between the pieces and slotted along till you're ready. Push them down
Another awesome video ! I had an idea for a possible future video i wanted to share What about a vid about making a larp /adventurer backpack? Either made from scratch or kit bashed from pre existing backpacks
8 months lats to this but please don't just put in a new blade all the time, get a good knife sharpener and save the money, one bladecan last you months before it needs to be replaced, and try to sharpen after each cut, whenever the knife leaves the foam, sharpen it
I actually agree. These ones were done for Halloween and are like a gel kind. All that to say, they are super hard to take off and I just didn't have the time yet lol
"unless your a lonely dude, your arms should be the same." not going to lie. that took me a minute. ROFLMAO!
Same this is my third time watching this ad i just got it

That seems like a cheap easy way to make armor for ren fairs and such.
Also am I the only one getting mild black panther vibes from the "metal" part?
Love the nails.
This. Is. AWESOME!!

Great vid as usual.
How's about trying to make a smart mirror. Which would be so interesting to see your take on it and how you would customise it.

Cool
Very good! Now make it from real leather and metal =D
I am completely dead at the Lonely Dude(tm) warning lol
Would you use that same technique to create leg bracers as well?
What type of paint is the silver paint you used? It looks very opaque, I find it’s difficult to find silver paint like that
Is it accsidental, or did you make bracers today, beacuse you're first leather project was bracers?
I was kind of wondering the same thing. It's like he came full circle.
Totally an accident but a super cool one lol. I should change the thumbnail to mirror the first one.
What kind of paint did you use?

Omg!! How did you make the ventilation box? I need something like that so bad 😂

Nice job dude! I’m still kind of wondering about the nails though…
Yup, the nails definitely are striking, and slightly distracting. That's probably more a "me" problem.
I actually agree. These ones were done for Halloween and are like a gel kind. All that to say, they are super hard to take off and I just didn't have the time yet lol
@@SkillTree I'm leveling up my "Non-Judging"skill. 😁
They're just painted nails?? 🤣
What grit sandpaper did you use for the dremel?
I believe 120!
@@SkillTree Wow, I'm surprised it worked so well. When I try to use anything lower than 240, it catches the foam and chews into it.
@@matthollands7771 maybe speed is the issue? Try it faster, if you can.
Que lástima bro que no tienes el PDF free lástima, ya que me hubiera gustado hacerlos pero en cuero.😭😭😭
