One-piece forging helmet. How to make armour

This is the full version without voice acting and music
ENG voiceover • Reptilian Helmet or Me...
I live in Ukraine. Surely you know that the war has come to us. I'm lucky. I am relatively safe and I have both electricity and the Internet. So I can make videos. Our entire knight movement is now actively opposing rascism. Someone from the first days of the war is already in the military, someone is engaged in volunteering to cover the needs of the military or civilians in trouble.
With my creativity, I plan to collect donations to help my friends. Many I know personally. Therefore, I leave my details for those who wish to help.

[@Pete-tq6in]

The sheer amount of work that went into making this one part of a medieval suit of armour is staggering. When you consider that blacksmiths in medieval times didn’t have access to power tools or gas torches or electric furnaces or even high speed steel cutting tools, it makes you realise why such armour was so incredibly expensive and reserved only for wealthy noblemen.

[@karlwilhelmmeinert7592]

They had water powered hammers though.

[@QualityPen]

Yup. It was a high-skill, time-consuming job. Skill x Time = Expensive. Many nobles even then went the extra step and had their armor engraved or even gilded. In modern terms, a man-at-arms’ suit of quality armor would have cost in the multiple tens of thousands, but some lordly suits would have cost tens of millions of dollars. A king’s suit of armor might have cost hundreds of millions and involved dozens of smiths and artisans from different towns and even kingdoms. I saw a Swedish king’s shield yesterday while Googling some stuff- the entire thing was a 3-dimensional relief of Amazons fighting.

[@Pete-tq6in]

@@karlwilhelmmeinert7592, I didn’t know that, that’s very ingenious, thanks for the information.

[@Pete-tq6in]

@@QualityPen, brilliant information. I did an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering, part of which involved making components to fairly high tolerances using hand tools, it was hard work even with modern materials and equipment. The artistry involved with making these pieces is incredible, I’m so impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail.

[@scasny]

Well there are work arounds like 2-3 feet metal seers to cut sheets or using chisels to cut hot or cold, coal forge is better for general shape work but the gas is superior in detail work. Actual labor was cheap the raw material and fuel was main contributor to the price. Dont get me wrong weapon smith and armorer make decent living, but keep in mind they mostly have big turnover then actual profit. Another point plate armor was the high end protection, chain mail or brigandine were more common and dont forget gambeson witch is valid armor on its own.

As a now-retired heavy and light fabricator, I applaud your skill and patience. Your use of modern power tools as percussion tools is to be commended, as is your usage of the caliper as a marking gauge. I can hear our fitter/machinist brethren groaning out loud.

There are special calipers with hardened tips for this. The points are for being able to measure inside small features.

[@skitidet4302]

@@Rubensgardens.Skogsmuseum I know, I was only joking. But in my experience, using a cheep pair of calipers works well for marking offset lines on regular mild steel such as S355, if the points gets dull just sharpen them. It's fine as long as you don't use your good quality Mitutoyo calipers that's used to make real accurate measurements with. However, the steel for this helmet is clearly not mild steel as he is heat treating it. I don't know how long the tips would hold up on regular cheep calipers. Sharpening is always an option though.

The verses of the Bible are mainly for the people who already believe, others would likely dismiss them. If you are a bot, people will associate christians with bots and will be less willing to listen to them. Say someone makes a real evangelistic comment. If someone sees it, they might associate it with bots and ignore it. So, if you are going to evangelize people, do it with carefully thought out statements, not with *just* a verse and request to become a Christian.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

@@germanpenn It's a comment that is devoid of emotion or the common snarky insult. I'm sure many people will read whatever they want to read but the statement stands alone as fact. 'How little we know about it' cannot be refuted.

​@@maplebonesExactly.

[@АлександрКопытенко]

Тектонический труд. Просто поразительно, что в наше время ещё есть люди, умеющие делать такое руками :) Спасибо за видео, очень интересно!

[@TurtleModeFPV]

That's pretty bad ass... I'm a welder by trade... Always loved watching blacksmiths as a kid (still do lol)... Cool of you to make the vids... Adds a lot of extra time and effort filming...

[@alejodavies]

This was incredibly satisfying to watch! The construction seems so solid and the editing and camera angles were amazing. Thank you!

[@mdemel06]

OMG I love the editing. Beat on the metal is pops out the plate, flick the small piece and it flys out the hinge. Educational and entertaining. You had me ROFL dude!

[@robertfiorini2061]

One of the most interesting and best produced videos I've seen in a long while.

[@Timewornaxis]

Sheet metal worker here. This is such beautiful craftsmanship. I couldn’t stop watching.

[@Issoirre]

You sir, are a premier entertainer as well as an obviously Master Craftsman! Thank you for taking the time to create this wonderful video!

[@KurtFeudaleKing]

The time this guy took to even put a camera under the water for the quench. I mean. That was amazing. And you know he doesn't have a camera crew to set that stuff up. Crazy amazing product and well made video. 10/10

[@KaleSchlegel]

I unwind to these videos every night. So relaxing. Nice to see fellow makers. Your stuff is amazing for lack of a better rhetorical term. Kudos.

[@Rodrianius]

Guys and Gals like you that keep Craftsmanship and Traditions like this alive deserve way more recognition, appreciation and support! All the best from Germany

[@HighlineGuitars]

Ah yes, the ancient art of using an acetylene torch.

[@Rodrianius]

@@HighlineGuitars I said keeping the Craftsmanship and Traditions alive, not following every historical step by step. Why not use progress at your disposal and cut down 10 days of work to 2 days? That's Stagnation otherwise

[@HighlineGuitars]

@@Rodrianius you mean like forming metal with your bare hands?🤣

I don't think I've ever seen those jump-cut tricks done so well, outstanding!

[@AflacMan13]

Yes! The camera work was very awesome indeed! Very fun to watch. 😊

[@stevefriswell5422]

Fantastic work, both in the helmet and the editing.

[@xaele1]

Amazing work. Instant subscribe. With so many channels focused on bladesmithing its great to find an armorsmith.

[@JW-sg7tt]

Thank GOD for power tools… imagine making this 600 years ago. ☹️

[@SaleemBugti-n5r]

They were not lazy like us 😊

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

This video was brilliant mate,the editing was perfect imo& that helmet is very very impressive

[@rudyyarbrough5122]

It was a real pleasure to watch an artist at work! I have done some metal work and I know how hard it is and how long that helmet took to produce. Thanks for an entertaining video.

[@thepangolinforge]

I really like your editing style, its really engaging. Great work my man, both on the helmet, and the video!

[@hollyanforth1006]

Gotta love those one piece builds made from multiple pieces...

[@FearThePegasus]

The one piece is real.

Колоссальная работа. И мастерство. Респект! А кастрюльчик получился отличный!

Not an expert in the field, but this is stunning on so many levels. Very nice craftsmanship!

[@john-do1cw]

Your video editing skill is nearly as good your metalwork! Absolutely brilliant work! 👏 Edit: correction... it's spectacular!

[@CapmCrumch]

I absolutely love that you did this with tools that anybody can get their hands on. There are so many videos out there of people stating things like "Build this full suit of armor for $100!" *After owning $20,000 worth of machinery*. You do beautiful work, and you definitely give the feel that anyone can do this with just practice and skill, not money.

[@Ginger_bit]

Who do you know with a blow torch or electric kiln? They're not exactly tools one might find in their dads garage, and not exactly cheap either.

[@heavyglassglass]

​@@Ginger_bit They're not extremely expensive or hard to find or build

[@liamvega5566]

THE OOOOONE PIEEEEECE, THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEEEAAAAAAL

[@gtcazusa]

The magical video editing is GENIUS! You've earned another subscriber. I could watch this shit all day.

[@RaduB.]

Man, they really were wizards back then!... I bet no one can make one today. 😉 Truly impressive! 👍

[@MrDeepwoodtickles]

Superb craftsmanship,love the end result but also great video editing, kept it interesting right through a long process.

[@TheGreatGalactic]

dwarves hate this one trick: 0:05

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

What a joy to see the full and highly skilled process of manufacturing a traditional set of helmet and shoulder armour. Great stuff!

[@DJlegionuk]

I am giving this video a 10/10 for Armor making skills and video editing skills. 👏👏👏

[@KeirMurphy]

Brilliant work, both from an armorsmithing perspective and from a video composition and editing perspective.

[@ВладимирПлагов-в6ш]

Браво мастеру, великолепная работа, а процесс изготовления завораживает)

[@TalmageL-pn2pv]

Not only is this beautiful workmanship, at a different level, it's so well done that it's really fun to watch. Great job all the way around..😎

[@aserta]

16:05 Give stubby lathe center drills a try next time you have to drill stuff. The two step kind. They'd make drilling holes much, much easier since you're using one drill bit for both holes. Also, because they are stubby, they're much less likely to break, deflect/bend and cause issues. There's a huge variety of sizes on the open market, multiple combinations of sizes per drill too.

[@hoperp1951]

Absolutely awesome. Can see you have perfected your skills and tooling and the end result is beautiful. Going to have to binge on your other vids now, love to see a real technician at work making the tools and metal talk.

[@pamtnman1515]

This blacksmith has amazing talent

[@victorcortes5960]

Simplemente LA MEJOR HERRERÍA que he visto en mi vida. Gran herrero y muy dedicado y bien hecho , sin dejar atrás todo su adecuado equipo , pero El Herrero simplemente excelente. Felicidades y Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
