Making "the Mandalorian" Pauldrons out of Metal

[@d3tach3d]

You're killing it with making the armor. I dont think anyone has even come close to how accurate it is, let alone yours being shaped out of aluminum and not foam board. I wouldnt be surprised if these were even built with better quality then the hero armor from the actual production.

[@paulog392]

Once you've got the whole kit together I'd be interested to see how you harness/mount the armor to the fabric outfit underneath.

Paulo Cesar Garcia Lopez Velcro 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DaveDangles]

Great to see the spoils of the Great Purge returning home

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Always support the Foundlings in the making of Mandalorian armor. This is the way.

[@powerarmorpatriot2068]

This is the way.

[@wayofthewrench]

That turned out awesome! I don't people realize just how much work goes into these projects....let alone the filming and editing. I am actually thinking about putting The Mandalorian graphics on my arcade build.....best Star Wars content I've watched in years. Subscribed.

[@wiku7410]

I really admire your job, i cant imagine myself doing all this stuff like this. I have trouble doing armor out of foam 😂😂

[@d.s.3617]

Those turned out really well. Always a treat to see a craftsman work his trade.

[@Weirdracin]

"Is that real Beskar Steel?"

[@bongofett6992]

Lol

[@skeeverteats3393]

Mate, its criminal that you dont have 100x your subscriber numbers. Awesome content! What a talent!

[@novachannel1981]

aww man my ass puckered when your fingers kept getting so close the the band saw blade lol

[@x31omega]

Lol me too.

[@Sullivansky2012]

How can anyone place a thumbs down even one that is the amazing part. this is what you call a total artist.

[@THXSwitch625]

Your skill is amazing. This is an inspiring build!

[@Lord-Murdoch-69]

Stunningly beautiful work

[@willwalker3150]

This man is a genius..a virtual wizard with metal !!!!!!!!

[@juliawolf200]

I loved your opening! Two thumbs up!

[@SpartanRacing]

its annoying how talented you are. Just amazing

[@bencurry6520]

I’ve been really enjoying your videos lately as an escape from my school work. I’ve been wanting to learn about metal work for stuff like this, and you’ve been a great inspiration/reminder of how much skill it takes to pull it off.

[@kidghost7628]

You are truly an artist! Beautifully designed I mean WOW!

[@austinholmes4417]

Master craftsman , fantastic work Matt

[@x31omega]

Those look great. Awesome work. Can't wait to see the whole kit when it's finished but I am enjoying the ride. 👍

[@jesserivera5991]

Cannot wait for this build to be finished so I can make my own Mandalorian armor

[@TheAtariCreep]

Amazing work Matt! Pleasure watching you do your craft bro.

[@paulog392]

Thank you for explaining the process in this video!

[@r-monsolace2630]

I can’t wait for all of your videos......👊🏽

[@leorait800]

That is one nice process, awesome video mate, very information driven!

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Matt, awesome work fella, you are definitely a very skill metal fabricator. I am really enjoying this series as it's showing a multitude of different techniques. Take care D

[@fergusslater3739]

Loved this I love that your doing commentary over what your doing big improvement I’d their anyway I can support your channel ??

[@Zero_of_rivia]

I need to learn this craft your work is amazing

[@Tavish_Studios]

so glad I watched the first episode the other day otherwise I'd be completely lost on that opening lol

[@NoobByDesignGaming]

Man you got some legit skills. Impressive

[@TwoFace3211]

Awesome job man! Can't wait to see the full kit!

[@Strider1313]

That’s what I need is a bag and hammer I used to know how to do that and it would help me out big time. Also when I learned we wernt aloud to use the plannisher or English wheel as first semester students do you can actually take a rubber mallet and grind it into the teardrop shape and plannish with that for people who don’t have a plannisher

[@mustachadon]

If you put your palm flat against the back of whatever your trying to make focus it will force the focus to dial in. Awesome work man.

[@Scott-kh4pw]

Great video series. You are very talented.

[@killajest]

I put your channel on SWNN (Shows: The Mandolorian) hopefully you get a lot more subscribers. Your work is fascinating. I love Mandolorian’s. I love their armor, their culture, their code, and the history that has spanned the SWU. I think your doing an amazing job. Thanks for the videos. I watched them all (and the newer ones for the shows armor I’ve watched at least three times each!).

[@gonzo1the1first]

Damn, I love this channel. Sooo many people get famous on yt for doing nothing. Here, there's so much passion, knowledge and skill behind your abilities that it only frustrates me, that channels like this don't have the following they deserve. Best wishes, Matt (:

[@ryaldeveau207]

Great intro lol. And thank you for the voice over and explanation of tools.

[@marvin3242]

Alright you officially have the coolest employer/coworkers ever

[@thebountyhunterlounge1510]

Watching this just reminded me of how much I miss welding.... and the time I got a bad flash burn welding aluminum frames together it got hot in our shop and i was just wearing a tank top. 🤦‍♂️👍

[@arliss123]

Fantastic work, Matt!!

[@tonsonbloodaxe2605]

I loved the skyrim style blacksmithing there at the beginning lol!!!😂😂

[@tonsonbloodaxe2605]

lol exactly!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@kippperry7321]

Dude you are my hero! Totally awesome!!!

[@commandalorian8246]

Your skill is impressive, they will sponsor many foundlings, this is the way!!!!!!

[@derangd3339]

They look really really good you are a metal magician!!!

[@EldarKinSlayer]

I'm waiting for the Mandalorian Combat Knife in Titanium! Awesome work.

[@sox1264]

"I believe a pauldron is in order."

[@wurlabyscott]

Amazing work!

[@jerpenol]

You should make the Mandalorian Smith helmet next! That would be awesome!

[@peterderrick77]

Mandalorian Armorer Helmet build by welding geek: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjco3qdip6rZ9U

[@braybmejia2229]

Cool can’t wait to see it all

[@GoopGoopGulap]

This is so awesome. Thank you again.

Nice slab of Beskar you got there Mando...

[@Nordic_Rex]

That looks soooo good! I am so happy I found you here and on instagram!

[@sadlaq]

Dude! you are awsome! I wish more people could see this amazing armor! I hope that in future you will get more and more subscribers! :D

[@darthbuzz1]

I started understanding what you were on about about half way through. Looks amazing. Bet you are glad you didn't make the suite from chapter 1. Hope this one isn't out of date in 2 episodes.

[@koza2]

Nice solution for floating shoulders. I've been thinking of doing an aluminum plates set for my next mando, but I likely won't be able to get a welding machine. Would durafix rods work, or would that not hold up well enough in the long run, even being just costume pieces? Or should it only be used for certain reasons on cosplay armor?

[@Mushroom_Muncher]

You’ve earned my subscription. Well done, my friend.

[@leegingerninja]

I'm new to the channel , wow ! You're awesome!! Love watching ! Keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍

[@Weirdracin]

Now you have to add the signet to the shoulder.

[@_KANON_]

This is the way

[@calebbrod7369]

This is the way

[@EthanfromEngland-]

This is the way

[@robertlatham7315]

This is the way

[@BeTheGuitar]

This is the Way

[@intheruff4500]

Holy shit the funny car collection though 😍😍😍

[@captainmorgan6729]

The opening though 😂

[@DarthDainese]

You love that Kasey Musgrave track I hear it in all your videos

[@victorchapman5580]

Keep up the good work! me and my brothers are wanting to make our own clan now!

[@bruce02]

Ridiculously talented .

[@benjaminargus9563]

Fantastic work, man you need to collab with Adam Savage that would be so awesome

[@Xandious13]

Love it, keep up the good work!!!!

[@Porkleaker]

Those look slick! What are you going to do for the leather work? Bandolier, holster and the Belt looks interesting. Plus he's got those little sticky bombs on there, would be awesome to make them functional - in the sense that twisting one would set off a blinking red LED. :D Also boots and there's some pouches and other stuff, will be interesting to see that all come together.

[@PhillipTorrickeBarton]

LOL!!!!! I loved that intro!

[@MaximilienRobespierre1]

Would you make these to sell?

[@jedi0220]

Pure Gold! Thank you :-)

[@InventorZahran]

Do you recycle the scrap aluminum?

[@AJ-um3ht]

Damn bro, that's awesome

[@Khanclansith]

So you are using lift dots to secure the plates down... Are you going to show counter side to that of fixing the other half to the garment at any point?

[@that1madlad13]

The blacksmith in me is groaning," Oooooh, if it was only that simple." 0:21

[@TheGeronimojack]

Outstanding work, Can't wait to see more of your Mandalorian armor builds. I am VERY interested in buying a set of Mandalorian metal pauldrons , Please let me know either way. I also trade with production company prop guys, if you are interested in movie items that are not available to the public, just let me know.

[@shanek6582]

There room inside that channel for some kind of cool Mando gadget

[@agent_seb]

It would be amazing to see these for sale since most are made of plastic or foam.

[@zachaboy]

Can't wait to to see who won the helmet

[@AR4aremember]

Hi friend! Do you have a website where to buy the products?

[@PKedByBlade]

EDIT: I WATCHED THE END!

[@christianbh]

Lol loved the start of the video

[@dylankalgren8715]

Now you need to add the mudhorn signet.

[@reviewswithdouglas]

Just wondering how much you would charge for a full set of Mando Armor if commissioned

[@sdhlkfhalkjgd]

Really great work! Everything's coming together great. I really dig all your videos. It's nice to watch you work without aggravating my tinnitus and getting flash-burns. I heard that you are thinking about posting up some templates. I'd be glad to help if you need a hand converting the AutoCad files to printable pdfs at some point. I did some checking and I should be able to import the dwgs into NX and make up some 1:1 drawings sheets if you're interested. You can get my email off the Mercs forum (Jegg) or if you want a reference, I know a guy that knows a dude at your shop.

[@robertlatham7315]

I really enjoy your videos. Wish I could learn to weld like you. I'd be happy with just half your skill level. I was wondering if your making this armor for cosplay or if you're in The Madolorian Mercs club?

[@Bonshello]

dude i would kill for any piece of the mandos armor wish i saw the give away. plus college is robbing me dry

[@calebbrod7369]

VERY EPIC

[@anthonyjaisingh]

Alright! Now go blast it with something and go see if it can take a shot :D But seriously... epic work mate. Serious skills.

[@shadowmoon2886]

I have a question, how much would it cost you to build the full set of that armor out of titanium metal

[@BlackBeardOutdoors]

What would you calculate is the cost of this entire project series including your labor?

[@Porkleaker]

You want that in Imperial credits, Calamari flan or Beskar?

[@BlackBeardOutdoors]

@@Porkleaker mmmmm flan. Mmmmm USD as imperial credits are worthless

[@falcoman99]

Much patience this one has

[@fergusslater3739]

Love the skit at the start

[@jaksebar2295]

This is the way.

[@Skyteks]

If we can't buy the finished product, is it maybe possible to buy the pattern you used to cut the metal pieces?

[@theweldinggeek]

Yeah I’ll be releasing the templets in the near future

[@saint.cricri]

That intro tho!

[@whiterabbit201]

Signet time!

[@cactusman0403]

Will you make tge new sign on it?

[@d3tach3d]

Ive been twittering adam savage like crazy about your mandolorian armor videos. I hope he sees them

[@x31omega]

Doubt it. Adam is lost in his own world and only comes out for comiccon. 😁

[@corymallo581]

Where do you work that there are a bunch of funny cars in the back of the shop.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

how long have you been welding? you do awesome work.

[@theweldinggeek]

17 years of tig welding
