Wow, spectacular work and design, you have a lot of talent and can't wait to see your future work! That nail through your thumb was over-the-top, great special effects! Again, Thank You!

[@LindyDesignLab]

Glad you enjoyed the project and the thumb nail gag!

[@benharrison6558]

Armorers trick - add a piece of cardboard between the plates and rip it out afterward to keep enough space between plates :)

[@cupofjoe2988]

I had NO idea what it took to accomplish this. Amazing craftsmanship. Awesome job, looks amazing!

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thank you!

[@cupofjoe2988]

Lindy Design Lab also, hilarious ending about bonus video hahaha loved it!

[@LindyDesignLab]

:D

[@merai4024]

coolest person on youtube XD

[@DoomerONE]

I honestly cannot wait to see the whole suit all together. Fascinating stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thinking the drone might be useful to get footage of the whole costume together because it's massive!

[@DoomerONE]

Talk to Ken and do it as a joint effort. This way you can waer the whole thing and show it in action. He is truly an amazing pilot and his creativity would work well with yours. Would make an awesome project. Worth a ton of subs for you both I am sure :)

[@DoomerONE]

You should post your drone footage, would be interested to see what you film, also I will offer a challenge for a future project. I recommend trying the outfit for Lady Sif from the Thor Marvel films. Nice cross between fantasy and modern armor.

[@LindyDesignLab]

It's sized for someone about 14 in. taller than me, so I can do the filming but not the modeling. Also 90 degree weather is not the best time of year to wear 20+ yards of black fabric for an outdoor shoot, so I may have to settle for setting it up on a mannequin somehow.

[@LindyDesignLab]

I'll post some eventually when can find time to get something half way presentable, and thanks for the suggestion :)

[@SCYTHE2525]

Good job Ms. Nice Hands. Looks like a entirely respectable piece of costume armor. Shout out for Ken Heron. Another great site. I look forward to more from you Lindy. Your production is good quality already and you'll be giving Simone Gertz a run for her money any day now. :)

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thank you very mulch. (Hopefully you watched Ken's new racing drone video or I just sound silly!)

[@xConundrumx]

Nifty as always, now all ya need is one of those flying beast thingies.

[@LindyDesignLab]

That would be a cool pet, but I wouldn't trust it around the guinea pigs.

[@xConundrumx]

But but but ... They can fly! Ever considered lending your considerable talents to some indie film or even content providers here on KZbin?

[@LindyDesignLab]

That is a feature guinea pigs can't offer... I'm open to working with other creators as time permits.

[@DennisLovelady]

Great to see you enjoying yourself with craft work. You have a knack! That thumb nail... I mean thumbnail. Ouch! It hurt even to watch you make it!

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thank you. Managed not to burn myself with the hot glue, so it was painless.

[@ProtonOne11]

What a riveting experience! :-D

[@LindyDesignLab]

:D

[@JohnKlopp]

You're just amazing, good job!

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thank you!

[@MScholtz]

OMG that thumbnail in your thumbnail. Oh wait I get it now.

[@theonlycatonice]

This is amazing!

[@dav1dsm1th]

You may find using a rivet setting punch easier than trying to pein the heads by hand.

[@LindyDesignLab]

Maybe so, and I'll look into getting better tools if I end up doing more of these types of projects in future.

[@DavidGuyton]

Great work as always. You nailed it at the end! Oh wow that was terrible I apologize....

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thank you. Haaaaa.... Tried to hammer out something equally terrible in response, but I'm sew not into puns.

[@DavidGuyton]

ha!

[@KenHeron]

My pun-radar alerted me to this. Nicely done. (That's a 7.4 on the pun-scale.)

[@LindyDesignLab]

Ken Heron you're an inspiration or a bad influence...

[@FireBuffalo]

Heyo guyton sent and just stalking your channel great content and be prepared to see me on more videos

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thanks, see you around.

[@antonios4926]

Beautiful work. What size are the galvanized nails as the link cannot find it? Probably stopped selling them. From Cyprus

[@LindyDesignLab]

4d galvanized common nails from local home improvement store.

[@antonios4926]

@@LindyDesignLab Thanks

[@VicMorrowsGhost]

Lol you just hot glued it to your finger?! I've hot glued myself before, I think driving a nail through it would have hurt less.

[@LindyDesignLab]

I let it cool a little first, and the gun wasn't fully heated. But yes, when it's at full temp doesn't stick to skin exactly, more melts through it.

[@ghostlymasked4041]

the work is awsome but you must have a big arm cause the circunference for what you show is big can that be fixed anyway?

[@LindyDesignLab]

The armor was a custom size order, certainly too large for me, although still cool to try on.

[@ProtonOne11]

Missed opportunity for a practical 3D print: Print yourself a finger guard to make pushing the needle thru thick leather just a bit easyer and safer.

[@LindyDesignLab]

Excellent point. Thanks for the idea!

[@lilywallace6172]

I was looking at you're Etsy 3D model pattern, and I was wondering how many ounces is it?

[@LindyDesignLab]

Sorry, I did not get a final weight on the gauntlets.

[@Valiant_Thor_03]

What isvthis made out of?

[@LindyDesignLab]

3D printed from TPU for the hand plates and matte fiber HTPLA for the rest.

[@mellie2003]

It looks quite good, but don't you thinks this is very time consuming compared to making a steel Gauntlet? There are ways without heating and welding that yield great results. Hammers and anvil shaped objects don't take as much space as the accessories that you use. They could fit in a small room. And most importantly; the steel stuff is durable. It feels and also sounds real. Because it is real!

[@raeliean]

What if you made this from metal ? Thoughts ?

[@LindyDesignLab]

I'd need more space and more tools, but it would be cool.

[@user-tm3zz1by2t]

🗿

[@jeffreywarrenpark9149]

You really need to get some proper mandrels. If you go to "Riogrande(dot)com", you can find a wide variety under "metal forming". (I appologize if this sounds like an advertisement. It isn't intended that way. It's the just the first dealer that came to mind. But, you could probably find tbese same tools at the usual culprits, like Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, etc.) Granted, these tools aren't cheap! BUT, you will find them usefull for quite a few things. And, they will last generations. They will make your life SO much easier, though.

[@LindyDesignLab]

Thanks for the suggestion! If I end up needing to make a lot more armor then maybe I can justify investing in some proper equipment for future.

[@jeffreywarrenpark9149]

Lindy Design Lab , the whole trick to be able to afford tools like these, (or any expensive tools for that matter), is buy them incrementally. Do NOT try buying them all at once, (unless, you suddenly recieve a huge inheritance from a rich relative). Also, these tools are useful for a great deal more than just armor. (Heck, you could even use it for making jewelry! 'Ahem...) These can even be helpful for correcting faulty vacu-forming, or even for impromptu vacuforming shapes. Once you have a collection of them, you'll start finding a variety of uses you never would have ever thought of before. Remember, as an artist, it's not what a tool was originally created for, it's how YOU discover how a tool could help with what you are currently doing. For example, screwdrivers were never intended to be used as prybars. But, much more than a few folks use them that way. Anyway, it's food for thought...

[@LindyDesignLab]

Hopefully more tools in future! I do enjoy the challenge of making do with what I have, but it's great to have new options opened up.
