DIY Leather Sabatons (Foot Armor - Prince Armory Imperial Armor 

If you can't get/afford Chicago screws in the needed quantity, or like me have an overabundance of double-capped rivets, try a shim between the scales when setting a rivet. Just take a piece of 2-4 oz. leather and punch a hole as far back from the edge as the diameter of the cap. Cut a slot the diameter of the stem from the hole to the edge of the leather. Leave enough tab sticking out the other way to keep ahold of and place it between the scales. When the rivet is set, pull out the tab and the point should now flex. This is also how I did a lot of metal hinge points for armor.

I really appreciate the fact you don't edit out some of the "mistakes" you make. It's great to know that even pros aren't perfect. Like almost forgetting to dye the pieces at 5:14 . Feels like something I'd totally do.

the masking tape peel off was 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Wonderful as always! ♥♥

I love your stuff Mr. Prince

Big fan, sir. I've been enjoying your work since I found you on DA back in 2011ish! Awesome to see how far you've come. I'd love to see you tackle Thranduil's battle armor! And if we're going with video games, I'd vote to see your take on the Ancient Elven armor or Dwarven Massive plate armor from Dragon Age Origins! Excited to see whatever you decide to make next!

Looking good!

So good. I knew this one guy Asmal who made some pretty good stuff but this is just on another level.

Very Nice!!!

I chuckled when he stopped the music for those 2 straps lol

Amazing

I'm a huge fan of the Stargate franchise. I'd love to see some Jaffa armor.

Would you consider doing some of the medieval spin offs like the batman superman ect.

Amazing! Where can I find that "forming dome"?

hola el video está muy bueno 🤜🤛👍

What masking paper are you using?

I took the model and printed it but the model is too small on the sheet so I wanted to know at what scale is it best to print the model?

How does the glow forge fair with 12-14oz leather?

I never try to cut leather with my laser, I just mark the pattern, then cut it with a knife. its really difficult to mess up if you do it that way. I'll make marks at a much lower energy setting than what I would need to cut through.

Why do you wet the pieces before beveling? I have always thought that beveling could be done wet or dry, and by doing it dry I reduce the risk of imprinting the pieces by accident (dropping a tool on it, stray fingernail, etc)

I'd like to see woman's corset armor builds in future video's

Could you do some viking designs

Question: In your tutorials, you always seem to smear the resist very liberally. I did that once on the female version of the fantasy armor and it dried and blotched all over my red dye. How come yours look so well finished and uniform when you apply and let it dry like this? Thank you for the cool video!

Sabaton? In before the Winged Hasuars arrive

isnt this called a "spat" (in terms of apparel)? hey, spat is a word for a fight. you made spat spats!
