    This video made me legit giddy and checked every box of my viewer "must-have" checklist. Your narration was awesome, music was *MINT* by filling those periods between narration, also volume was spot on. Genuinely snort laughed at the dye shaking joke, because I'm immature and it was delivered perfectly. The tip about fixing a mis-stamp from the border tool was pure leatherworking gold. I could have watched this for another 20 minutes and never realized what amount of time passed. I am anxiously looking forward to all the future videos, if you need suggestions on topics :D I'm happy to make dema.. suggestions!

    Another Great video. I enjoyed both this and the helmet tutorial. I prefer the longer video format you presented with the helmet tutorial; in this one the entire assembly portion was not included, due to the technical issues you had. I look forward to the rest of this series and will post pictures of my builds once completed. Thanks again.

    • @Princearmory

      I think this video actually has a couple minutes more dialogue compared to the helmet, i just edited the video down to the audio for this one. The last video definitely had some bits that strained patience but its hard to notice that when you spend days and days editing it.

Could you show us more of the tool that you use to put the lines in your scale pattern? (The tool that was white and round that left a ridge that looks like the top of a fingernail if you look closely) Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to the next video!
