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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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)
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.
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?
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... Thanks Jack. Also, join my Discord.. tons of creators that may have some ideas as well. discord.gg/sSSD674Xy2
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?
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.
That brass is poppy. I'd recommend oxidizing it to dull them down and not be such a contrast to the 'silver(y)' color of the painting/aged look. Request: Share how you take your measurements to make the patterns!
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.
Looking to name this suit of Armor, give me your best ideas.
Vladimir's Hunting Suit
Randomly death toll came to my mind

slapchop painting your armour, haven't laughed so hard in ages! comedy gold mate, love your work
Glad you enjoyed
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.

I think that’s going to look really good. I like the painting idea that you used

Thank you for your work, it's amazing
Thanks, that's a great point.. Super smart.
Looks awesome! I love that brass on black look. Maybe call it the Draconic Inquisitor set if you haven't chosen a name yet.
Nice patterns !
Subscribed !
Thanks for the sub!
Beautiful work as always, Magnus!
Thank you! Cheers!
Name suggestion for this Armor: the Dragoon. Cause it looks comfy enough to be worn on horseback and on foot.

The Nightstar Armor
the process reminds me of getting tattooed

Bat wings in the center, could be the Dark Vesper Armor, vespertilio is bat in latin.
Smoooth... look at you with the linguistics. :)
That's awesome. How about the red dragon armor.
Solid idea.

You could LARP with it! Find a local Amtgard, SCA, etc. group near you and show up with kickass armor!
@@TonyStyx1 I have not yet achieved the level of nerd required for LARP. I'm a lowly level 2 nerd at best.
Haha, nice. Haven't done ethe lines for carving yet, it'd work for sure.
I fucking love the blunt language

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

Love your armor! What size laser cutter bed is your svg files optimized for? I use a glowforge which is 12”x20”
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, would the result be an epic failure if made with 6oz leather? My trusted supplier doesn't stock anything heavier...
Ya, I'd go heavier for sure. Lonsdale Leather carries heavier with free shipping on orders over $150. www.lonsdaleleather.com/darkhorseworkshop/
Something about this screams, "Impaler." This is the Impaler Armor.
I was getting some Vampire/Vlad the Impaler vibes off it.
@@DarkHorseWorkshop me too...glad I wasn't the only one going there.
Question can you make that Pattern for arms and Legs?
That brass is poppy. I'd recommend oxidizing it to dull them down and not be such a contrast to the 'silver(y)' color of the painting/aged look.
Request: Share how you take your measurements to make the patterns!
Rivet montage
Name for the set... JARL?
My only issue is black raven does a bunch of Viking named sets so I want to find something differentish. Love the idea tbough
@@DarkHorseWorkshopthe Fourth Horseman

Shut up and take my money!!

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.
