Not only did I enjoy this, but it inspired a question. Imagine a modern day world, where we never invented firearms, but have everything else available. Where swords and shields are the most powerful military armament, and Armor is needed. How would a suit of Armor in that world be designed? What would it look like?

I'm not even 5 minutes into the video and I can already say that I love this guy. The way he decorates his house: A+. His attitude towards others: A+. His openness and reliability: A+. Full marks! Plus, as a foreigner to his native land, I'll say I love the accent. Not uncommon for me to appreciate an accent from areas around him, but the bit where he occasionally becomes a little unclear makes it super charming.

@TheDungineer6 жыл бұрын
Adam I am so sorry to hear about your armor getting thrown away! It must have been heartbreaking :( I't really awesome to hear a master talk about their craft. Hearing Terry talk about crafting armor from aluminum makes me really curious about the workability of the different metals using classical armoring techniques. I know aluminum has pretty awful fracture toughness compared to steel, and I don't see a forge in that workshop, so now I want to know how Terry can cold form aluminum without it breaking and cracking. He is a master I suppose. Can't wait to see more of this!
@MauledByBears6 жыл бұрын
Aluminum is pretty ductile and can be worked cold easily; some alloys more easily than others. A lot of armoring in steel is also done cold, but a lot of the heavier work has to be done hot since steel is less ductile. Aluminum will fatigue and work harden over time but it can be quickly annealed with a torch (this is shown in the video). "Fracture toughness" has nothing to do with it; there are a separate set of material properties at play which can be controlled with heat and technique.
