Baclava Tut

[Privateer]

Ok guys go easy on me this is my first attempt at a video tutorial.

Total cost $5 to $10 depending on where you get your supplies I buy remnants from the fabric store so I usually get my material for little to nothing.

You will need a sewing machine and some knowledge of how to use it for this you can do it by hand but its very time consuming and tends to be a pain in the arse.

Let me know what ya think.

Cheers!

Thanks! If this recieves good reviews it will be the first in a series as I biuld my undersuit.

LOL!

I thought you meant the food!

That video was great. Very informative.

I think another thing which may sometimes be difficult with an undersuit, or even the suit itself, is strapping. Locking everything together and possibly keeping it snug.

The strapping issue will be covered in time as well I have been building/wearing very intricate and heavy armour for ren festivals for years I have some pretty good ideas for this.

Cheers!

I love the midevil outfit. I make all kinds of wooden swords from that period.

I was planning on using skin tight Under Armor for my suit.

Hopefully I can learn to sow so I can try this out. Good video!

And I dont have a tut for the leather armor that has been a evolving project for the last 5 years at least. I will tell you that as far as actual material cost I have maybe $100 usd in it total. Everything has been hand built by me now the time cost is insane the Cuirass and legs have probally 1000 hand hammered 2 pc rivets and my ringmaille coif has over 25000 handmade steel rings and took about a month of weekends and lunch hours to make. The leather parts of the suit are made from Hobby Lobby scrap leather bags and is heavy saddle leather. All the steel parts Greaves, pauldrons, rerebrace, knee coups, and helmet top are made from Home Depot 18 guage steel.

Thanks for the compliments!
Cheers!

$100?! Thats it? Most ringmail suits are several hundred themselves... The Ren Fair here isn't that great but I have always wanted to make some cool armor like that, I may finally get started on it.

The ringmaille was built by me so all I had for cost other than time was a $2 roll of concrete tie wire and a 1/4" steel rod to wrap it around like a spring then cut down the center to make the rings.

Here I was thinking it was going to be a tutorial on how to make Greek desserts...

Looks good!
