Im gonna make a reccomendation here. When you have a decent amount of stamping to do and you intend to cut out the piece as shown here, leave a little extra leather around the intended final shape. This allows the leather to deform while carving, but also lets you cut the exact final shape without it being distorted.

As somone who's current character in our DnD campaign is "The Arena Scourge", I felt that "Hound of the March" segment in my soul.

As someone who's watched for a long time, personally I don't mind the 'reset' and doing more beginner videos. I'm not a crafter though and just enjoy watching the content, people actually leveling up their skills might feel differently.

As a long time follower, I enjoy the "remake"/"revised" videos ❤

Its entertaining, but it also fits with the whole theme of the channel lol. You have the OG bracers video for people to reference if they want, and since then you've leveled up and now have these awesome hound bracers to show for it!

I have an idea for a shirt design. Your catch phrase should be the word "BASICALLY". Because I have noticed that in every video you made you say the word "BASICALLY" more then a handful of times per video.😂😂😂

You want merch ideas? How about a shirt with the words "It's time to level up this skill" and then a little shield thing you use for your skills with the words "Social Interaction"

Those look amazing. I'm a blacksmith and cold metal worker, so I've made plenty of steel bracers, but I've been working on my leatherwork and leather tooling with some historically accurate quivers that go on the belt instead of the back. Making my own leather strips and belts since you made it look so easy. I even smithed by own leather tools. I still have a way to go before I'm at your level, but that skill keeps getting leveled up!

The regular bone tool will do the same as the glass. Ive done it and it works just fine.
In addition, never forget to put resist on the inside of the bracer. I mean, unless you wanna dye your clothes.

Alternate option is to line the leather. Super easy to do.

I think the moons had a missed opportunity:
You could have started with a full moon, then partial moons and a new moon in the middle of the front and then back up the other side.

Adventures setting their own nicknames feels like their emo phase.

Jumping back is just a refresher in the skill.

I'd love to see a "You Made It to the End Screen" design, in old-school computer font (think "Oregon Trail") and a screen frame around the words. Maybe even a level counter, like "1,000" or "Master." A "life" counter at one and a half?

I've been watching a while, and I find myself liking the simpler projects with more personalization than hyper focused items.

@mithion2 2 years ago

I don't mind revisiting old topics/projects. As noted, it can be helpful for new folks. Also, for those of us who have seen all the old videos, you still end up showing new tricks each time (like the glass container trick in this video). It might make the back catalog a little less appealing to newer folks, but I don't know if that is really a concern.

20:40 For comfort I would HIGHLY recommend looking at historical arming garments. Specifically the ones that tie your armor to the garment preventing it from sliding down. Then you don't need to tie the bracer so tight it cuts circulation, roll the edge to prevent rubbing, or get a glove to protect your skin. Works for other armor that covers the extremities like greaves as well.
