    Hello!! Amazing amazing work. I know it’s been a few years, but Im working on a boromir cosplay and would love to know if you have patterns for the pieces and some information on supplies? What dye did you use? Can I attempt this with a limited amount of leather working knowledge?

    Hello, and thank you for your kind words. All my patterns are available at www.redsmithleatherwork.com. You can surely attempt it with a limited amount of knowledge. Pratice is the key to master a skill and mistake are part of the learning process. With time and practice, you'll know what dye you prefer compared to a different one, and that's how you'll get better at the craft. Have fun and thanks for watching!

    Salut, vidéo très intéressante qui m'a permis de m'apprendre plein de nouvelle chose sur le sujet étant donné que je suis débutant. Je vous voudrais me lancer dans la fabrication d'un couteau avec comme acier une lime. Es ce que tu saurais me renseigner sur la température de normalisation/de trempe stp ?

  • @RedSmith
    @RedSmith3 ай бұрын

    Bonjour. Et merci. Les températures dépendent du type d'acier utilisé. Mais je travaille plutôt à la couleur de l'acier chaud. Il est assez facile de trouver sur Google des chartes de couleurs et les températures correspondantes. Généralement, la normalisation se fait vers 820-900°, la trempe se situe vers 850-900 degrés (rouge cerise) et le revenu cers 230, l'acier tourne jaune paille.. J'espère que cela t'aidera à l'avenir. Bon courage !
