Hi! 🙋♂️I'm Samuel Lee, and I am an artisan specializing in Custom Fantasy Leather Armor who has been crafting arms and armor under the Prince Armory banner for more than a decade. I focus on crafting one-of-a-kind extravagant custom projects with intricate leather tooling for my clients who use them for LARP, Renaissance Festivals, Cosplay, Costume Contests, and Private Collections.
I'm just now getting into producing leather armor patterns and content for larger audiences so bear with me as I gradually divide my time more evenly between custom work and making videos and other content for everyone. - Навчання та стиль
Dude, since you've done this, you'll have to do the whole armor, at least that, right?
What do you think others?
Well that is actually the idea. Probably not all in one go, but over the coming months I hope to do most of the parts to a full suit or at least a solid partial suit in this theme, and others in the future
Was wondering where I can get the patterns or the books for the patterns
@@kcrubber academy.princearmory.com
Yep.i have done the gauntlets, the helmet should be done today, so I'm looking forward to more. I've wanted to learn armor for a long time.
Yes please
Am i the only person who doesn’t know how to make anything but is just watching because they thought the helmet looked cool
Thanks for watching!
nope i dont have a creative bone in my body just popped up in my list and i liked the way it looked
You are not alone.
My first thought was. I want it in metal. Would really love to give it a try make one.
@@Loan--Wolf Glad to have you
Your work is so inspiring! It helps me take care and focus on details with my own craft. Thank you!
I’m so glad I found your channel thru Tandy! You are a gifted teacher and artist. This was so relaxing and full of information. I liked how you would give various options of doing things. That painting technique- dang that turned out amazing! I was a little worried there for a second. 🥴😁 Thank You!!!
Hey Folks! It's really great to finally be producing content for our fans, old and new. I'm just now learning how to shoot and edit videos so I'm totally open to input on how I can improve. I've got a lot of videos planned for this year but I'll be doing some fan requests along the way as well so make your voice heard if there's something you really want to learn about, or a project theme I should make a tutorial for, or any questions and I might do some Q&As too.
i've watched the vid twice now (and subscribed).. just cannot find the pattern link..
subscribe again using my leather page email. no email or links.. I'm not a youtube expert by any stretch. I fine this pretty challenging..
@@parkerleathergoods9333 the email you get from the mailing list sub, has link to the pattern
@@parkerleathergoods9333 I updated the description, you find everything ok?
@@MattWeber Thanks
Such beautiful and amazing craftsmanship. I’m in the process of making mine and it’s coming along nicely.
Relaxing and full of helpful tips. Thank you for making these videos.
The soothing music along with the steady hammer taps had me nodding off, but I didn't want to miss a single second watching!
Man I got to get my leather tools out. All we did in leather class was belts and arm bands. This is the kind of stuff I would of wanted to do. Thank you for making this video. I know how labor intensive it was to make it.
The helmet looks amazing I can't wait to try to make one myself and, depending on how hard it is, make some for my boys!
This was very useful, so thank you for taking the time to show us how you do it, it's fascinating, well done👌
Amazingly detailed videos! I'm doing a lot of leathercrafting myself and your videos help me so much with that, just watching how 'easily' you work got me so motivated! Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
Thank you for taking the time to show the steps and processes involved. The editing for speeding up, cutting out once the audience has a good idea of a step, and audio was very well done. I especially appreciate your break down of the tools, materials, and equipment involved from the crafting to the tech. Very glad to have seen this come across the front page and happily subscribing to see what else you create! Thank you for sharing the video.
You're very welcome
That was a really good video sir. Yesterday was my first time in an Tandy Leather store and it was spectacular. I've never done any leather working of any kind, but i'd really like to get into it. It's such a neat craft that produces artful yet functional and practical products and wears. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome!
Love your video tutorials! I've been doing leatherwork for over 20 yrs, but only recently started working on leather armor for Cosplayers. I will definitely be investing in some of your patterns!
I just wanna say that youre very skilled and i really enjoy your work. Ijust subscribed today but im having a blast watching your videos! Youre amazing man! Thank you for your hard work so that people like me can learn how to leatherwork in an enjoyable way! Keep posting more man!
Absolutely loved it! I just bought the pattern and hope to start building one within the month. This helmet has inspired me to break out my leather and tools and start crafting with it again. I may also look to design some body armor to go along with it, thanks much!
Thanks! I will probably design the full suit to go with this over time btw.
This is awesome! Amazing skills!!
The helmet reminds me of the Ebony Helmet from Skyrim, which is one of my favorites!!
I still don’t get why they would make a helmet out of wood
thank you for your tutorials especially for dye process, i love how it's dyed.
Your video was very relaxing to watch. Beautiful work. I think I'll learn a lot here. 😊
you are so underrated this channel should have much more subs
Thanks much!
This video is so wonderful with relaxing background music
Thank you, glad you like it, not everyone digs the tunez
Just picked up leatherworking a few months ago. This video has been tremendously helpful. Thank you so much!
I'll have to grab a couple of your patterns later.
Extraordinary work, both design and execution, and presented in a very informative yet enjoyable way. And kudos for sharing Your knowledge.
Best regards.
I love this. I just wish I had access to leatherworking tools in some fashion without just having to commit to buying into the hobby completely without any idea of knowing whether or not I will actually like it. This is super awesome though and you do a really wonderful job making this not just look easy but possible for anyone to learn.
I've been teaching apprentices for years and these are designed exactly for the purpose of teaching people while still being interesting and cool. And I am deliberately making them approachable for those without a lot of tools. You don't even have to tool it. All you need is a hammer and something to cut with and you can make this helmet if you get some leather.
I do love leather working and want to support your channel and encourage the algorithm :p
Thanks : )
i sat through all the video and loved every thing about the helmet thank you for putting this out now i can try some pattern ideas.
You're a god, these designs are incredible! I cant wait to get started on something like this myself
Lovely work, always liked the look of leather-craft.
The video is well thought out, Good descriptive talk through, although I would probably shorten some parts like the paper cutting, and all the bevelling, we don't need to see examples of every piece done, it just makes the video longer and I found that I skipped parts.
Looking forward to seeing more though.
Thank you for sharing, not wanting the plans but subbed none the less for the show&tell
Thank you
Man! That is a LOT of tedious work! I truly would not have the patience... Great work!
Thanks!
I love the craftsmanship its something made by hand and to me it has sentimental value✊
I loved making this Helmet. I had never done leather work before but always wanted to try. I used the skills and pattern concepts to style a bow using similar techniques which turned out awesome. I use the helmet for combat archery and people always comment how good it looks. I always mention your channel. All the best to you and your excellent work.
Its my mates birthday comin up and he is an absolute fantasy geek. Luckily for me i am an Orthotic technician and i have access to a template plotter, a 8mm (depth) leather cutting machine with divide settings, and some heavy gauge leather. I will stain and pattern it myself but as for the cutting out. I have a mechanical slave for that. Awesome video non the less. This vid actually stopped me from worrying about what the buy him lol. Thanks. Keep it up mate it looks awesome.
Haha, cool!
@@Princearmory seen as my wage per week is pretty pathetic i may as well use the assets thst are readily available hahahaaa
I've been making small leatherworking projects for a few years now, gradually moving up to full armor. I'm definitely going to be making a helmet now, and I think I'll attempt snaps (which is so frustrating in fabric I can't even imagine it in leather). Thank you so much for this video, it was really awesome to watch, and the end result is beautiful!
I think the snaps are probably easier in leather thanks to the thickness. good luck
@@Princearmory ¿Link? ¿Printer?
Beginning leather worker here. This video was incredible. TY for all your hard work!
Wow! i just watched a couple of your videos in my lunch breaks (on fast forward). You create some amazing stuff. Well done sir!
That looks like Hickup's helmet from HowToTrain Your Dragon!
Yeah a little bit
⚜️Get The PATTERN: princearmoryacademy.com/product/fantasy-helmet-pattern-2/⚜️
Are you still giving the pattern away for free to new subscribers? Either way, thank you for the video! Such an awesome design!!
And an incredibly professional video! :)
The one thing left-handed people may want to know is that using right-handed scissors will scuff up your top edges and points because blade closest to the edge pushes down and not up like it is using them right-handed. It almost drove me crazy because my edges were ugly. I fixed it by using a box cutter or letting my right-handed wife cut them out.
Thank you for the inspiration. I have started making your spaulders as my first ever leatherworking project.
I'm sure I missed the window, but are you still giving the pattern away by chance? You do beautiful work and have inspired this starving artist. lol
@@nathanaxen9712 I want to know if too. haha
Wow that's awesome! This gave me a couple good ideas to try. Thanks for sharing this.
This is youtube gold! Thankyou so much for making this video. Fantastic tutorial, love the chill music.
Wow dude, your work is really impressive. Just won over a new subscriber.
Thanks!
What?!? When did you start a UA-cam channel?? I have been a HUGE fan of your work for years and have missed seeing them since I deleted my FB. Tutorials from Prince Armory ... am I dreaming?!
I started it several weeks back. pretty new. Glad to have you here!
WOW! this is so awesome!!!
i was so in struggle to biuld my helmet but this makes it sooo much easier.
Thank you so mutch!!
Tutorial was was brilliant, can't wait to get started, thanks so much for spending the time to make this available
The appreciation makes it worth it, thanks!
Tandy looks like the Fort Worth location. Awesome video. Now i need to stock up on leather supply.
Yep, its the Ft Worth HQ store. Go buy all the leather things!
Finally UA-cam recommends a cool video
Thanks!
I truely enjoyed watching this, and you have inspired me to make my own leather works of art. Please keep up the wonderful work, and I hope to see more tutorials and other leatherworks from you soon. Again MAGNIFICENT JOB!!!
Thank you!
This is one of the coolest builds I just found! Love your channel and subbed! Keep up the great work - As soon as this corona thing gets better and Tandy opens - I'm going to get the leather to build it! Thanks for the video and sharing! xoxo
It looks gorgeous
Thanks!
No problem!
love this So trying this with steel!
Awesome, share your pics and progress!
You can use construction signs
( aluminum )
😎👍
Great video for sure. A LOT of detail and explaining for any newbie wanting to give it a try.
UA-cam randomly recommended me one of your videos. I'm not into cosplay or LARPing but I play a lot of video games so I can appreciate finely crafted pieces of armor -- and the stuff you make are exquisite! You are very talented. Can't really support by buying patterns or whatnot (they'll be wasted on me LOL) but I've since subscribed to this channel and shared your videos to everyone I thought might appreciate them.
love how you show everything in the video, by that i mean how u do every piece and not just do 1 then show them all done, video might be a little longer because of it but i like it that way
Thanks, glad you like it!
Yo this has been SUPER helpful and has given me dozens of idea's about how to go about my current piece of cosplay (doing the helmet soon).
Just one criticism to give, whenever you're speaking in the video, could you maybe just lower the volume of the music just a wee bit? 41:00 It might just be me, but this was a part in the video where I had trouble hearing you half of the time due to the music being so loud. I mean, the music choice was great and very enjoyable, but I very much prefer your voice and being able to understand what you are trying to say.
Again, thanks for doing this!
Edit: Oh, and I instantly subbed, not for the free pattern because I think I missed it, but just for future content. Thanks!
Edit 2: I just realized you've already been told this by other people so I assume that the whole criticism remark wasn't necessary. On a side note, saw your portfolio on your website, and my jaw just dropped. It all looks SOOOO GOOOD. Just wanted to say that. :)
Great, glad it helped. Hope to get more videos out soon. And yes, the audio levels thing was an accident. What actually happened was part of my voice recording was too loud at the start so I lowered the whole track a bit and I think I missed adjusting parts of the music as well.
saw the thumbnail so decided to check the project as it looked cool. awesome vid/priduct. clicked the website to see other projects and wow. extremely talented dude.
It's so interesting to watch, you explain every step clearly and easy for the lay-person to understand and follow. I can't wait to see all of your videos, please keep it up!
Great to hear, thank you!
Excellent video, sometimes the ambient music tries to overtake your voice in the middle - end I noticed but its a nice touch all the same.
Yeah I wasn't too sure about audio levels at times, everyone will have different setups, seemed fine on my end but I'll keep it in mind
My god... that looks like a revamped Ratholos helmet! :OOOOO
Cool!
Loving EVERYTHING about this video and project!
Incredible! Thank you so much for showing your process and skills.
No problem!
this is the kind of thing is see in my dreams...
Make your dreams real by crafting it
What a fantastic idea , making the templates available to everyone .
😎👍
Super cool
When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Damm that looks expensively good "
The Tiger Dragon build is super expensive, this one is pretty affordable to make and easy too if you follow the pattern.
@@Princearmory the leather should not be so expensive and the tools are affordalbe because you dont need so many
@@tim3130. To make it? sure, no one project really costs very much. Its equipping a shop to take on any possible project where it gets expensive.
@@Princearmory i know my father make chairs for thonet (a company) so i already made a lot and i think the main thing is the time
You guys are amazing. Can't wait to take a swing at this build! Thank you for the tutorial & pattern!
No problem
brother got mad skills, found one of his video in my recommendation and this is 5th video i'm watching right now. Its already 3 AM in the morning and i cant help myself stop watching such cool armors he is crafting. no sleep today i guess gotta watch some more.
Looks like a rathalos helmet
Sweet!
I also thought it looked like the rathalos helmet from monster hunter world
Anyone else get Reminded of rathlos mail from monster Hunter
👍
Basically my first thought
same here
Fantastic video.
The instructions were simple and spot on.
It made me feel as if I could do this without worrying about the end result.
Thank you.
I subscribed.
Thank you!
Your reaction to the mis-hit, cracked me up. Love you work.
thank you with work. I cant seem to find the pattern, where is it exactly?

Bc if you watch some historical stuff they’ll say it’s not historically accurate even tho it’s meant to be cool not aciraye
Beautiful! You make seem like I could do it as well with all the steps laid out. One day, I might. For now, I will watch and learn.
Just purchased! Going to Tandys after work for the leather. Cant wait to get started SO DOPER!!
😍😀😍
😀
A suggestion: mix your music much quieter! Your voice was in competition with your soundtrack and that's pretty bothersome. But otherwise, dope work!
I'll keep it in mind
This is wonderful sir...no problems sharing...I have enjoyed this so much...very cathartic and a step in self actualization: that I could never achieve ur skill...
amazing artistry, I've never seen this type of leatherwork before I found your channel
"I am Apollyon. I bring war."
My favorite part was when he gave up and ended the project halfway through the video
Thanks for the advices you have given through out the whole video
I have been a big fan of Prince Armory for years. Now getting to watch you craft is just amazing.
Glad to have you!
Why doesn't anyone mention that it kinda looks like the red slayer helmet
from osrs LOL
Not familiar
Looks exactly like a slayer helm in osrs for sure
I came here for this comment.
I'm sorry, I hate to bother you but I'm unable to locate the pattern. I happily subscribed, but no matter where I've looked I can't seem to find it. Thank you!

I got the email, but the link to download the pattern just leads to this video. Were you able to DL the pattern from that email?
Are you sponsored by Tandy leather now?
@@brentlarsen6974 yes
@@brentlarsen6974 I actually messed up the first few links, hit me up with a message or email and I'll send it
Phenominal video. Ive been making fantasy armor for a while and have been inspired by Samuel since first started. I was going to make instructional videos like this starting this June, but im VERY glad you beat me to the punch, so now I can continue to learn as well! Looking forward to everything you upload!
Thank you!
Fantastic video, you do very good and inspiring work.
When you realize he cut out parts, sped it up and it still took 45:00
Yeah, long afternoon project to be sure!
Thanks for replying back to me. love your channel btw I subscribed after the first video I watched
This is high art man..you're gifted,I salute you
Awesome! Thanks for yout efforts and sharing the guide!
This is so satisfying to watch, well done. Love the music.
Thank you!
Jawdropping, can't believe the skill, dexterity, dedication and patience to make it all happen. The shooting and editing must've been a nightmare too. Thoroughly enjoyed the video!
Absolutely a underrated UA-cam channel really love your work very inspiring
Awesome helmet. I am new to leathercraft, and start making a few items for archery as quivers, armguards, and belt pouches.
But in the future, I wish to have one big project like whole armor from leather. Thank you for this video, it's really helpful.
What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you for sharing this, I look forward to your other tutorials!
Great, thanks!
Great skills, it was very interesting and easy to watch.
wow not only was this video entertaining but it actually was just really interesting to watch all the pieces come together at the very end... very good content and i hope you do well with your channel
Thanks, me too!
I just took a look at your video list, you definitely have my subscription. Great work!
Thanks much
Wow, great project and the finish product amazing!
absolutely amazing finished product. beautiful work.
