I Lived As A Medieval Armourer For A Year

[@michaelfinchen656]

Hi Alex, thoroughly enjoyed your video dairy of your experience as an apprentice armourer working with Matt and the rest of the team. I look forward to your return to the LA Worksop and anvil as a journeyman! Best wishes Mike

Thanks Mike I really appreciate that! You may be happy to know that I am rejoining the army, I was always curious about the Army Air Corps so I applied to be a Groundcrewmen, I'll restart training at the end of this year! I intend to get a full bespoke harness from Matt over the next few years so I shan't be a stranger.

Don't jump in at the deep end wearing a suit of armour Alex, you might not come back up.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Funny you should mention that - I plan on going swimming in armour in the future. Unfortunately procuring the armour itself will take me a few years haha

[@thehistorysquad]

Nice one Alex, I wonder what adventure you'll embark on next 😉

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Something tells me it's going to require a lot of boot polish.

Excellent, good to hear, I'm sure you'll gather some amazing stories from your experience. @@AlexTheHistoryGuy

Great film, looks like an exciting year AND you kept making videos! Legend. Don't suppose they need another 'prentice? Lightly used, some physical defects haha.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Haha well that would depend on how skilled you are. Lancaster Armoury are incredibly busy ATM so they can only open their doors to very experienced Armourers who have the skill and knowledge to complete projects by themselves with minimal assistance

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Also thanks! Much appreciated:)

Great video Alex. Congratulations on completion of your medieval armoury course. What a great skill/craft to have.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Thank you :) there would be an awful lot more I'd need to learn but there simply aren't enough hours in the day haha

[@dmr6640]

Love your videos. Just found you. I'm hooked.

[@AlexTheHistoryGuy]

Ayy much appreciated, enjoy :)
