[@HamsterPants522]

Thanks for recording, editing, and sharing this with all of us, man.

[@LivingManuscript]

Comments like yours make it all worth it :)

[@calvinhuddleston576]

man i love your channel, you singlehandedly got me into armoring

[@Row-The-Mighty]

Like armor and M13. I'll watch your videos. 🤘

[@LivingManuscript]

I'm glad to be a part of your armoring journey!

[@Shakersonofthemilk]

Incredible craftsmanship! I am going to try recreating a helmet like this with Worbla for a costume, you’ve helped me understand the way the pieces go together so well, I appreciate your vids!

[@brynf4377]

Yo your channel rocks never stop

[@LivingManuscript]

Thanks! :)

[@felix.der.ritter]

Give this grown out boy, who became a Man a heat source! So he can Forge more STUFF!

[@LivingManuscript]

Hopefully thats the next step as I move to yet another workshop :)

[@marienkijne]

man its so good to see you on my feed

[@LivingManuscript]

I hope to be on it much more often in the future :)

[@cheersbro7347]

A closed sallet is officially my new fav helmet type. Stylish and practical at the same time.

[@crabmaster3338]

I love your stuff!

[@LawnMowerProductions]

Awww yeeee armor making motivation time

[@calshistoryreenactment3494]

Hey, good to see this series come to a nice happy conlcusion. It's weird to think how much time goes by isn't it. It feels like only yesterday I was watching you make the skull of the Sallet. Look how fare you've come. And no need to worry. I will wait ten years for your uploads happily. Let's be honest, your upload schedule is much better than mine haha. As always wonderful to watch a video on another one of your wonderfully crafted pieces of armour. Take care John. From: Sir Bancroft.

[@LukeGeoDude]

Can you see anything out of those perforations?

[@anthonypantano2627]

that looks so cool =)

[@lau_taro0037]

Amazing video man! Just wondering if you've ever considered making a savoyard or a barbute?

[@LivingManuscript]

Thanks! I would love to make both someday! It seems like there are a lot of secrets about each that I would love to find out about by making them :)

[@lau_taro0037]

@@LivingManuscript good to know! I've started buying the canvas of cotton for the brig, the stainless steel is being shipped, wish me luck too

[@gonzalofernandez5044]

you are my fucking hero, im always bothering for some mods to the fencing mask cause they doesnt look like something for hema

[@newgenerationcreators6978]

Dude, I discovered your channel like two weeks ago, and I'm hooked. I am somewhat thinking of getting into armorsmithing myself, but I am hesitant to get started, as I really don't know what I'm doing. I was also wondering if you could give me some advice on where to get sheet metal for a good price. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@kriegsmandeathrider3583]

Noice! But why didn’t people use perforated visors historically?

[@LivingManuscript]

Thanks! There are a few examples of perforated visors or eyeslits which resemble modern perforated steel. Although there are some examples of essentially the same thing, such as the bicoquet in Berlin, and some late great bascinets feature visors comprised entirely of holes. One reason I suspect they seem to appear less frequently than more "conventional" visors is that punching so many holes was likely a long process, today perforated steel like I used here is done by machines :)

[@kriegsmandeathrider3583]

[@toompyfloyd4074]

looks kinda lame JK it looks brilliant!!!😁👍

[@patrickmonaghan9131]

Hello I have a question if you don't mind answering. I am making my own sallet as well and I was wondering how to cut out the right shapes for the two halves that make the top part of the sallet. Did you find your patterns online or did you guesstimate them? Thanks. Your sallet looks awesome btw. As well as the rest of your harness that you posted on ig. Amazing job!

[@LivingManuscript]

I'm glad you like it all :) I initially used a pattern I found on the Armour Archive to make the hemispheric top, and then I made the rest on my own

[@patrickmonaghan9131]

@@LivingManuscript Thanks for the info! Appreciate it a lot!

[@spiffz99]

So when can I buy one?

[@ЛивонскийОрден-с2к]

Good! Helm

[@josephlim2616]

Can you do a video of urself suiting up in your armour? Ahaha😀

[@deepseaknight416]

will you be at the ohio renaisance fair this year?

[@cosmicwhale3668]

Might be late to ask but what do you use for your dishing forms

[@LivingManuscript]

Not too late at all :) I still use some forms I made in high school that are made of some thick steel pipe welded to a steel plate. I rounded the edges on the pipe so that it doesn't chew up the steel as I work it

[@cosmicwhale3668]

@@LivingManuscript your a real one thanks

[@Dr1234-o5u]

can i have one?

[@MaxGamer-ee4tl]

make one

[@Dominator046]

An excellent helmet! The video could use a tiny bit more Frolicsomeness. But that's okay. The cardboard provides the minimum FIBER requirement.
