What I'd really like to know is how the medieval blacksmiths got the sheet metal in the first place ? How did they go from an ingot, probably flat, to the sheet metal ? Is the rolling technique that old, or did they just hammer, and hammer, and hammer ?
@kinchorw No, They had an ancient wizard named Merlin who had a time machine to go to the 20st Century and then buy it by using magic to produce real money then he went back and hid in mines back in the old age, that's how they got sheet metal.
this is the most beautiful thing to watch, i could sit here for hours and stare in amazement and awe at the beauty of a mans hands forming metal into what is essentially artwork... well done on obtaining such a skill.
i like the way your think your mentality it´s great your humility and you know perfectly that you´re very good at this but you are humble that's a strange quality you have binged life to an old but beautiful and magnificent art keep it please we wish to see sword forging
im kinda young andt there are no blacksmiths were i live i kinda make daggers out of lawnmower blades broom handles ect any ideas on how i could do other things?
i see from your message your using mild steel, just a quick question would mild steel withstand large glows say from a sword? i.e. i am interested in creating armour to use for renactments and i wasn't sure what armour i would need? please advise if possible.
not my vid, but i have a small blacksmith shop in nebraska. as for the mild steel- after that much hammering both shaping and planishing it will hammer harden and should be fine for most purposes. standard cold rolled sheet steel will work fine.
Simply stunning. You metal movers do a fantastic job... Even though this armour is well past my period (which is 1390's Burgundy), the quality of this work is simply stunning.
I just discovered your series. I came here watching the 5 previous parts already. Now I just HAVE to say: WOW! This is truely amazing artist work! Incredible! With every second of your progressing work I droped my jaw more and more ...!
I also like the soundtrack and video editing!
But - the power tool grinding - well - its sort of an anticlimax, not?!
*sigh* to soften it. I asked because I want to know If you have a technique to preserve/return the strength and memory of the steel that is lost in heating. I ask this because I love the artistic detailing but also like to make peices that can withstand repeated blows from real weapons.
Edging techniques like the plaited stuff in this video strengthens the overall piece by adding rigidity - like corrugated card. Hot working steel means that work hardening doesn't occur - while desirable in some respects, over working will cause splitting and weak points. No strength is lost in heating steel - if nothing else, slow cooling restores it to its original state.
I've seen nice pieces like this on the battlefields and combat lists before. Since this armourer certainly knows his stuff, you can bet his work will stand the test.
I also do alot of forging both of swords and armour, but i am no were near the skill you are in armouring. My stuff never seems to fit right, esspecially my breast plate. My biggest frustration thus far is getting the back and front to fit nice.
I have had great sucsess in sinking plates useing a sinking die i carved out of an old stump and creating a dish shape using a chisel. It also elimintates the need for heating. I use the same hammer ball peen side and work 14 guage with ease.
heating, cooling and reheating armor is a technique used to strengthen the metal not weaken it. The time it takes to make a suit varies too greatly because of many factors to give you an exact time
heating and cooling as well as the constant strikes of the hammer help in strengthening the metal by altering its cystaline state. think of bending wire, if bent correctly it becomes stronger, if bent too much it becomes very brittle and eventually will snap off. it all depends on how much you alter the molecular makeup of the material via forging.
It actually makes metal weak. As you can see, small pieces of metal surface spall outwhen the hammer hits the hot plate. That's because the metal surface became brittle by high cooling rate. After all, heating nullifies effects of previous heat treatment, so one should do additional heat treatment to make it have proper mechanical properties. But such process is lengthy and cost(fuel)-consuming, so omitted if it is not an armour for actual battle. In fact, no one buys armor for battle nowadays!

Actually what you see when the flakes chip off is just build-up of carbon. it does then the metal but weaking it like xenevar said. it makes it brttle in the end but then you reheat it and quench either using water or oil to reinstate the basic properties of the steel. so in the end it is stronger and almost as flexible as when you started.
