Making these leather pauldrons has consumed my life, but in a really good way, it's been well worth the effort. Making my own leather armor is always a rewarding experience, and the best part is that when I'm done, I get to have more armor.

Such diligent and beautiful work. Praise to the steadfast leatherworker!
Small tip, get a marble slab to do your tooling. I was given this tip by a more experience leatherworker and it honestly helped. I don't know how much a small marble slab goes for around your parts, but I bought it at an artist shop for 10 euros. Do not hammer on the marble tho! Also, you gotta widen the cuts from your swivel knife with one of those leather awls with a ball end (I don't know what they're called in English, sorry). Apart from that, it came out looking great!
I am so absolutely proud of you, really outstanding work. I love the armour of the Rohirrim, and now I am so curious to see yours come together.
Good stuff man. Helpful tip: Tool on a stone slab or whatever your hardest surface can be, rather than your punch pad. The more rigid and unyielding the surface you tool on, the more crisp your tooling will be. More of the force of the hammer blow will be transfered into the leather than into whatever is underneath.
I love the tooling, and the attention to detail. Rohan is my favourite culture in Lord of the Rings and I'd love to wear an armour like Theoden's one day.
all LotR behind the scenes with production and designing are sucha great inspiration
I am incredibly happy that you are moving forward and clearly making a lot of progress. You have come a long way from just making your outfits from scavenging clothes from thrift shops, cutting them apart and stitching them together to make costumes. Our boy is growing up so fast!
It almost looks like a giant prehistoric beetle. Like a mega-doodle-bug! Take a blow with it from an enemy, then sic your rolley-poley familiar on him! 😁 🤣
I too shout into the void, "Are you proud of me Richard Taylor!?" when I am mailing and embroidering.
1. Commenting for the algorithm.
Given your recent cooking videos, I honestly thought I was looking at a lovely oven baked loaf of bread 😂
I love the philosophy of making it the best you possibly can. Because if don't, in the long run, you won't be happy with it and you'll want to make another to make it better. I believe that's the definition of craftsmanship. Taking the time to do it right, the 1st time. I hand make our midevil costumes for Renfest and we get so many compliments. It really gives you a true sense of accomplishment when people find out you didn't just buy it. I'm looking forward to the completion of your costume and the reveal video. 👁😀
Regardless, it looks amazing, and I wish I had the capacity to make leather armor. You really should be proud of how it came out!
It’s so great to hear about you and Shad teaming up! Two of my favorite creators. That’s a huge move for you; I know how much you look up to Shad. Congratulations!
Oh that pauldron is BEAUTIFUL. All that care and work is worth it. Love seeing you put all the passion and focus into each piece you make, every costume, every bit of armor, and every video. This is just a lovely channel that I'm always so happy to see a new video from. Your work matters and inspires. Thanks for doing what you do with all the care you take to do it.
Great overview of making the pauldrons. However, after hearing your explanations on some of your building processes:
That was some beautiful leatherworking, im really amazed at how good you have become.
Really impressive work! And I agree, Black Raven has some great patterns
Great stuff. I really enjoy your channel and seeing the cool stuff you make. It's an inspiration to creating my character and my outfit.
