@@SkillTree Heck yeah! Also, I don't know if you've made one. But I think you could make a killer leather utility belt that would go great with everything you've made so far.
Just wanted to throw a 'thank you' for this video. I don't actually work with leather - I'm a 3D character designer. And learning how all the bits fit and layer and tie and bolt together has been invaluable for making my 3D models look more realistic.
About those slits you cut for additional straps and the sheath: If you punch holes in the leather at the endpoints of the proposed slits then 'connect the dots' with your knife, the slits will be neater and resist additional ripping. (I picked up this tip from Tony at Dieselpunk and from Chuck at LeatherElement. I've heard you mention both.)
Amazing video, and that's coming from an archer! If anyone wants to copy this design keep in mind that Cl3ver is shooting a bow left handed (bow in right hand, drawing the arrow with the left hand) if your a right handed archery, just put the pocket and the knife on the other side and this will work perfectly for you
I've been shooting traditional archery since I was 6. I'm now 56 and make my own gear. Some of his placement seemed odd to me until I saw he was a lefty. The only additions I'd consider is possibly lining the quiver and cut a piece of rawhide to attach to the inside of the butt plate to protect it from arrow tips. Now the only thing missing is a matching forearm guard. That said, this is a beautiful piece. Love the pattern. Definitely gives me ideas for my next project.
Wow the leather work on this is amazing, the tooling on the front with that stamp is really great, makes me want to make my own and go hunting orcs 🤘 I would like to see you make a rangers sword to complete your equipment, not necessarily out of steel but maybe one made out of epoxy resin and wood could be very cool and a new skill to learn
UNREAL ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS IS JUST WOW... AND DETAILS, YES YOU ARE RIGHT YOU KNOW THE DETAILS, AND THAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THE ART. JUST LIKE MY WANDS... OVER THE YEARS, MORE AND MORE DETAILS, THEN MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT... ALL IN THE DETAILS... LOVE IT... THANK...!
I've been a subscriber for a long time...and recently began watching again. I wanted to tell you that YOU SIR gave me the inspiration and confidence to begin leather work. Thank you for the awesome videos!
Great job! I love how you did it! Great color choice! Looks stylish and truly fantasy. Magnificent quiver. You raised your level to serious professionalism.
By the way, you can use copper buckles. Copper can be aged in ammonia vapor and then polished. It will look more antique. Depending on the time spent in the fumes, the depth of the patina can be adjusted. Usually I use a plastic jar, in the lid of which I make a hole for the hook. At the bottom of the jar, I pour quite a bit of ammonia, I hang the product on the lid and close it so that the object hangs without touching the liquid. Experiment with a piece of copper wire. I think you'll like it.
Thank you so much! It's kind of fun for me to look back and see the skill grow too. This channel is a fun video journal for me, it turns out! Thank you for being part of the journey!
Awesome quiver my man . I understand that you are genually proud, I would be too, it is one of the most beautyfull quivers that i have ever seen. Keep up the good work my friend.
That build is beautiful! A really professional looking piece of leatherwork. I would like to see a pair of boots next. That is a build I've wanted to tackle for a long time. I love this channel. Oh and go check your mic...
Wow what an awesome design! My neighbor asked me to make one for cosplay and real use. I'm going to design mine after this one. Thank you! I always love your videos! (Also, go Tandy Leather!) I think I'm going to use a monkey paw to hold the pocket closed. I've been using them on my pouches, and it's so easy plus looks good. Much thanks again!
Great vid, been an archer since I was young. Have some hip quivers, no shoulder quiver yet, looks great going to make myself one of these, something else to add to my make list.
Skill Tree Will do, still working on the helmet, given up on transferring my design to the helmet, as can not get the design to transfer to the leather cleanly so I can see and tool. Also went with stitching than riveting, currently procrastinating over the stitching I need to do to finish the helmet cap, going to try and finish it this weekend.
That quiver is fantastic! Want to try another? Try a Mongol quiver for horse archery. Very different. I'm thinking of making one, but it would save me a bunch of time if you did it first!
I was inspired to make some shoes, so I decided to run to my closest Tandys. 😢 It been there for decades but is now closed, now I have a 45 minute drive to the next one. Guess I can't blame them since the area they were in has turned very Knockturn Alley.
For some reason I personally think I prefer the look of hip Quivers or Quivers that go on like the lower back area so you reach behind or to your side, to pull the arrow instead of reaching over your shoulder
I love it! I think I'll try to make one as well! The only thing I've struggled with "over the shoulder" style quivers.... Keeping the arrows from all falling out when you need to bend over. I have a snap on quiver on my recurve bow. The arrows snap into place. It's easier. I don't know how to solve the issue of keeping your arrows in place yet accessable during all movements??
If you want to make it a real quiver, add copper scrubber to the bottom, it allows broadheads without dulling them(copper is very soft but no so soft they will cut through) it also stops them sliding around(broadhead or target points).
26:26 Or you have shot your arrow into the backboard, tree, root, branch & you need a knife to dig it out. A Very nice quiver & practical build instructions. Thank you. You might consider adding an internal fur or soft collar, beneath the sight line, to impede arrows falling out, if you were running around, or reduce the rattle sounds.
I always thought an open quiver with cork fixed to the inside of the bottem would be a nice addition. Would prevent the arrows from falling out when moving. But you could still easily set and remove them as well.
Ahhh dude, I absolutely love this! I have a few hides and I've been planning on make a quiver or two, just haven't yet. Got a nice oil tanned that's gonna make a cool Skyrim inspired iron arrow quiver. Also, there's a serious lack of back quiver making videos on youtube, so I'm glad you showed everything! BTW, you should check into PVC bows, you can literally make like any kind of bow you want.
@@SkillTree I would suggest checking out Backyard Boyer then. He has the best tutorials for making various styles. Leaves zero guesswork on how it's done. I can totally see a nice elven bow in your future to go with your quiver!
Just be aware before you get too excited that you can’t really tool oil tan leather, especially with water. You have to hot stamp or burn the leather. I’ll be releasing a few leather working videos shortly, just haven’t had time to edit them with the Christmas order rush. I’d highly suggest veg tan if you’re doing any tooling or forming because oil/chrome tan does not respond to those methods
Most back mounted quivers don’t work as well as hip quivers from what I understand. Yours doesn’t seem to have that problem. And it looks awesome to boot. Great job!
Very nice project and I am wondering if you plan to make a shooting glove along with an armature and hand protector that would match up to it? I would love to see something like that.
Came over here after watching the Utility Belt drop today, because I have an archery event this weekend! Gonna watch this and see how well the design integrates with today's belt... Would you change anything about this quiver TODAY based on lessons learned in the past 3 years? (Also, y'know, kicking the algorithm around for more views on old-but-pertinent videos!)
Have you made a wrist guard at any point? I noticed your forearm was red from where the string slaps your wrist as you're firing your bow. If not I think it'd make a fantastic piece to add to your ranger outfit.
When cutting a slit in the leather, do NOT just cut the slits. Define each end of the slit with a punched hole and slice from hole to hole. That will spread the load put on the slit and keep it from tearing later. Definitely incorporate a proper sheath for the knife (with a welt). Gorgeous quiver.
Nice archer's tattoo. Why not make a vambrace or archery glove to keep from ripping your wrist up? Heavier bow will do a lot of damage if not hadling properly, or without the proper gear for learning how to handle them.
Noticed the red mark on your forearm and am assuming you slapped it with the bowstring You should make a archers guard and finger grip for your arms and hands to make shooting; easier, more comfortable, and incredibly badass (also you could make it fit the theme of your other ranger stuff)
As I told you this morning I guess it was since today is the same day as I started watching, although it was very early in the morning, I said I would watch a few more this one was awesome although that's pretty fancy for carrying in the woods Plus the gloss on it would reflect light. Did you know that the Indians over here didn't carry their Quivers over their shoulders They carried them around their waist they only started that after the English came over or maybe it was some other country but I'm not sure which one it was at any rate that's where they carried them. Thanks for the video stay vigilant
So I was thinking that if you were to remake some thing like this again be it for really anything. I was thinking you could form a dragon or something shape out of the clay and bake it then using that hard stuff and the foam form it. Removeing the clay from the molded leather and making a reverse mold. Which now has a place for you to spray closed cell foam in to the form and then let it cure and remove it from the mold. This is light weight yet kinda strong. One might have to test the release agents to use. Then you can use glue to glue it in to the mold and then attach it to the bag/quiver.
For a way more rustic rivet style, learn how to peen nails or other short rods of metal flat using a peen hammer. It gives the rivet a really organic, hand crafted look, almost as if it was hammered flat by hand instead of created by a machine for use with a hammer.
I LOVE THIS!!! I work with leather a lot and I've learned a lot from your videos!! great way to teach and your awesome at it. I do want to ask, where did you get the leather hide from, 8oz is pretty thick and from Tandy its like $169 for a 6-8 ft cut of leather, I would like to compare the pricing of the one you got. Thank you
@@SkillTree Ahh that makes sense. I dropped you an email a couple of days back, but I'll summarise it here - if you want to chat about UK LRP to do some kind of comparison get in touch. I don;t have a channel, podcast or the like (at the moment anyway) I'm just kind of curious about the differences, the similarities etc.
Really awesome project! BUUUUUUUTTTTTT The bottom of the quiver, did you put anything else in there to strengthen it, or is it just the single piece of leather? Because I feel like over time, the arrows being in there with the sharp tips rubbing against the leather bottom will just wear it down to nothing, and you'll get a hole.
What was the decorative (yet useful) hardware that you used on the top? I’m just trying to figure out what they are so I can get my hands on some! That looks amazing, keep up the awesome work!
