Making "the Mandalorian" Pauldrons out of Metal

[@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.

[@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.

[@Sullivansky2012]

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

[@juliawolf200]

I loved your opening! Two thumbs up!

[@d.s.3617]

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

[@skeeverteats3393]

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

[@willwalker3150]

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

[@Weirdracin]

"Is that real Beskar Steel?"

[@bongofett6992]

Lol

[@austinholmes4417]

Master craftsman , fantastic work Matt

[@THXSwitch625]

Your skill is amazing. This is an inspiring build!

[@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.

[@SpartanRacing]

its annoying how talented you are. Just amazing

[@Lord-Murdoch-69]

Stunningly beautiful work

[@r-monsolace2630]

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

[@Scott-kh4pw]

Great video series. You are very talented.

[@kidghost7628]

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

[@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.

[@novachannel1981]

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

[@x31omega]

Lol me too.

[@arliss123]

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. 👍

[@TheAtariCreep]

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

[@Zero_of_rivia]

I need to learn this craft your work is amazing

[@jesserivera5991]

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

[@leorait800]

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

[@marvin3242]

Alright you officially have the coolest employer/coworkers ever

[@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.

[@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

[@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 (:

[@TwoFace3211]

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

[@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

[@paulog392]

Thank you for explaining the process in this video!

[@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

[@ryaldeveau207]

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

[@_KANON_]

This is the way

[@fergusslater3739]

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

[@tonsonbloodaxe2605]

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

[@tonsonbloodaxe2605]

lol exactly!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@kippperry7321]

Dude you are my hero! Totally awesome!!!

[@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!).

[@Weirdracin]

Now you have to add the signet to the shoulder.

[@braybmejia2229]

Cool can’t wait to see it all

[@derangd3339]

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

[@jerpenol]

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

[@Krome_77]

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

[@wurlabyscott]

Amazing work!

[@GoopGoopGulap]

This is so awesome. Thank you again.

Nice slab of Beskar you got there Mando...

[@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. 🤦‍♂️👍

[@Nordic_Rex]

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

[@commandalorian8246]

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

[@EldarKinSlayer]

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

[@intheruff4500]

Holy shit the funny car collection though 😍😍😍

[@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?

[@lincolnrowe4552]

at 10:24, you use a 'motorised die'. When I look that up, nothing comes up that looks even similar to that tool. What is the tools actual name?

[@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.

[@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

[@Mushroom_Muncher]

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

[@victorchapman5580]

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

[@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?

[@InventorZahran]

Do you recycle the scrap aluminum?

[@DarthDainese69]

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

[@Xandious13]

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

[@MaximilienRobespierre1]

Would you make these to sell?

[@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.

[@captainmorgan6729]

The opening though 😂

[@leegingerninja]

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

[@sox1264]

"I believe a pauldron is in order."

[@PhillipTorrickeBarton]

LOL!!!!! I loved that intro!

[@shadowmoon2886]

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

[@bruce02]

Ridiculously talented .

[@agent_seb]

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

[@S0phisticatedZ0mbie]

Just curious. Why is it very important that there are no laces on mandalorian costumes?

[@AragornElessar]

There's no laces on the armor in canon. And if someone wants to apply for the mandalorian mercs, details like that are relevant. (For just making your own armor it's up to you).

[@that1madlad13]

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

[@AR4aremember]

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

[@jedi0220]

Pure Gold! Thank you :-)

[@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.

[@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

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

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

[@theweldinggeek]

17 years of tig welding

[@benjaminargus9563]

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

[@zachaboy]

Can't wait to to see who won the helmet

[@reviewswithdouglas]

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

[@AJ-um3ht]

Damn bro, that's awesome

[@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

[@dylankalgren8715]

Now you need to add the mudhorn signet.

[@jaxxryan1374]

Do you do commission work? I been trying to find someone that does for this kinda work for a costume? How can I get into contact with you?

[@toddbfarrell]

Have a look at his Q&A video

[@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?

[@christianbh]

Lol loved the start of the video

[@cactusman0403]

Will you make tge new sign on it?

[@whiterabbit201]

Signet time!

[@MRxSNEAKY]

How much does material alone set ya back? Something I constantly think about for some reason haha

[@consun14]

What’s your shop situation? Do you use a makers space or something else of the sorts?

[@theweldinggeek]

It’s a racecar shop where I work for my day job

[@consun14]

TheWeldingGeek ok I figured, cool stuff!

[@theweldinggeek]

Thanks!!

[@PKedByBlade]

EDIT: I WATCHED THE END!

[@matrix77ny]

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy doesn't get a job offer from Disney or some other studio.

[@lordmugglestone]

whats the weight on those?

[@marleymop2963]

Would it not be easier to make a mold and fill it with molten aluminum??

[@theweldinggeek]

Maybe if I knew how to do that 😁 lol

[@marleymop2963]

@@theweldinggeek for less geometricly complex pieces, it might be worthwhile to 3d model them, 3d print them, cast them in a temperature-resistant resin mold, then fill the mold with the aluminum. Just a thought! Love the Mandalorian videos 😁

[@leifashley]

How much do they weigh? I'm curious what a full suit would weigh in at :)

[@AlasdairGR]

It’s probably surprising light. The pieces are almost all thin aluminum and when you spread the weight of it all across your body, it’s probably not that arduous to cosplay and troop around in.

[@Toto_barron_III]

Where did he get the template

[@jaksebar2295]

This is the way.

[@corymallo581]

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

[@shanek6582]

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