How to build a (PROPER) cardboard knight helmet

[@templarknight5519]

This kid definitely has a father figure

[@nathanielmontoya-gp3wd]

Or a family figure

[@panzr-fox]

He probably makes 6 figures

[@Sans_the_skeleton_real]

* his father has a father figure.

[@Am_I_a_Canvas]

My friends were all counting on me to make a helmet for a school project, and I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to make one, so thanks for this tutorial! 👍

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Awesome!

[@allgreatfictions]

It would increase the weight a lot, but you could cover the whole helmet in something like wood filler, or even air dry clay in a thin layer, which you could sand once it cures and you wouldn't be able to tell its cardboard after painting. This is a cool little project, but that little bit of extra detail and you wouldn't know.

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

That would be a very good idea maybe I should incorporate it with one of my builds next time

[@khajiitrobinhood3442]

It might be a bit much to ask, and I don’t expect you to do it, but some measurements would be awesome! Really cool skills you have, keep up the good work.

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Well, the head diameter is 24 inches if that helps and the visor is 18 inches wide and 8 inches tall and then it tapers to each pin

[@Michelle-n7f]

You could sell patterns. Or even finished product. Amazing.

[@bananaguy-uk6py]

I sub to Mark for having one of the sickest helmet ever!

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Thank you! It’s my own custom design!

[@Supracanal01]

Hey, this is pretty good. Not to complicated, hella nice looking, and it has a moving visor, great work man!

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

I’m so glad to hear that , that’s my goal, to try to make these builds as least complicated as possible

[@Red_Blitz]

Could you show us how you did the extra pieces on the side of the helmet 0:38 plz

[@GabrielGonzales1800]

Wow! What a great build! simple yet amazing and the paint job looks realistic, I can also see the effort in researching the historical accuracy of your build. I know that I say this all the time but keep up the good work and I'm looking forward in watching your future videos.

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

I know I say this all the time too ,Thanks man!

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Sorry about the ear rape intro guys, I’m trying…..😂

[@S3b0rg]

Love this, might add some strategic tp paper mache to some areas for a textured rust effect

[@oogabooga2890]

0:38 It seems you have added extra cardboard on the sides. Do I just use the extra cardboard from the beginning to make those pieces?

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Yes sorry for leaving that out

[@Snacks2912]

after making one horrendous looking helmet i made another one that looked just as good as the one in the video, thanks dude

[@M.D.M.A]

Is there any templates

[@wonghy1115]

Yooo time to bust out my father’s cardboard box collection that he keeps handy for times just like this! Thanks for saving me I-don’t-know-how-much!

[@wonghy1115]

Ah thanks for the heart. Also, if you could make a remake of the video, showing the measurements of the parts used, that'd be great. Currently very hard mapping it out and getting all the parts to match up.

[@TRD_ww2]

Bewildered at how you only have 3k subscribers, there’s no doubt your gonna blow up, these tutorials are great! (Though measurements on screen would be a w e s o m e)

[@sirajuwahajkurdish5105]

I dont know how but you made it look so easy

[@M.D.M.A]

Pls this part is really hard for me 0:24

[@littlebitsostuff963]

Thanks for getting straight to the point brother!

[@soupimmortal3079]

This is very cool and I love it, but I have one question, after you glue the seems in the beginning how did you get the edges from a right angle to a smooth circle shape?

[@formally727]

I love this! I want to make this out of a 12 can mountain dew cardboard box, though im not sure if it would be enough, could you possibly tell me the dimensions (or estimate) of how much card board you used to make this please!

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Totally!! you would need at least 5 plates of cardboard that are 7”x10” that’s just and estimate also take your time and your everyone’s head size is different to make sure to take measurements

[@felinelamp2551]

Sir Dew

[@chainlinkfence23]

You could always do it with thicker cardboard as well and than later the thinner mountain dew box cardboard on top of it!

[@lalunapanda]

You helped me create one for my kids first ever cosplay! Thank you.

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Awesome!

[@TheAdventurerAndDiscoverer]

This boy is so creative📜 He can become an Adventurer…

[@PowerwithinPodcasts]

I need to know how to make that deployable sword

[@northfrost4018]

Me and a buddy are using this tutorial for a prank on our history professor. Very useful.

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Noice!

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

Hey yoyo was curious: what were the dimensions of the helmet backing at the beginning? I'm trying to make my own version but don't want to screw up the measurements.

[@senorpina3000]

Can you give me the Blueprints of the helme?

[@Proxima_02]

Thank you! I managed to make a helmet for my joan of arc costume by watching your tutorial

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Awesome!

[@panzr-fox]

This will go GREAT with my nerf equipment.

[@Mel-lk6cy]

Thank you Mark!

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

My pleasure!

[@bigthunder6181]

Love it easy simple I was looking for something like this to do

[@thirdceiling9458]

This is so cool I can’t believe this is cardboard

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Thanks man!!

[@sharkman4895]

i was planning to make a medieval costume for my friends birthday and i cant find a helmet, thank you for the tutorial!

[@jayjohnson6845]

What measurements did you take for this? Like, what parts of the head did you measure? I can't figure it out.

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Use your own head Start off by making a single ring of cardboard to fit around your head and when that Glooze together it should easily be able to fit around your ears comfortably and top of your skull that’s how you start off with every helmet build

[@ryanbrewer5384]

Great video Imma build this

[@______8411]

Same !!!

[@Under_Suspicion]

Hi Mark Just got started on the helmet today waiting for the paper mache to dry

[@h2oangel7]

What are are exact measurements because I could barely see it

[@monday9897]

I had some trouble making this, I don't know the measurements, what type of card board, etc, its not your fault it just it a little confusing

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

I’m sorry it was confusing. I like to use single layer cardboard to make helmets because it’s easier to bend. You can also use foam board. Also, papier-mâché helps with smoothing over the dome over the head.

[@monday9897]

@@MarksWorkshopcrft thanks

[@brandusbarnett654]

How do you get the paper to stay without falling through the gaps?

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Make sure to add supports wherever you know you’re going to place the strips.. always remember just assume you’re trying to build build a bridge out of wet paper…

thanks for the tutorial for halloween but I dont feel so good with having a screw stuck in the place im gonna put my head in xd

think I can Bild a full suit before Halloween?😅

If you spend every weekend and ounce of free time yes😂 but it really shouldn’t take that long. If you do that it will be done before Halloween. Remember don’t over engineer the simple armor pieces

I’m also about to film a Teutonic Knight tutorial if you want an easier costume that will come out this weekend

@@MarksWorkshopcrft wow thanks for the quick reply, I'll definitely watch it👍

I’m planning to be a fantasy knight for Halloween and I like making my own stuff instead of buying random items at like Party City so I hope I’ll use this tutorial! Just a small question before I try to do this, do I need to put paper on the base 😅?

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Awesome!

[@tinyfr]

If I have a regular cardboard box, what would the size of the box need to be?

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

I typically cut all of my boxes up by the squares/rectangles and then organize them save up your boxes any cardboard will do for this build

[@JosephGaming132]

Is there a template

[@normaleverydayman7004]

What the size? I kinda want to try make it

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Well my head is roughly 24 inches in diameter

[@levisanchez8183]

Can you make a easier helmet pls

Good idea

[@bofa987]

You wouldn’t happen to have a template would you?

[@MarksWorkshopcrft]

Unfortunately no and I know it will be easier for you and the rest of my viewers but I do my best to not use templates there’s nothing wrong with using templates I just consider that like a * no I can definitely do better* Kind of thing sorry

[@greenentity6846]

I made a cardboard mache instead of a paper one, with hot glue instead of paste

Good idea, keep up the creativity!
