    Does anyone know the name of the Beastie boys song at the end?

  • that's amazing, although i think it looked better (more authentic) unpolished.

    but still you really are an artist

  • Oh God that's beautiful. I really wish I had your setup.

  • Oh God that's beautiful. I really wish I had your setup.

  • La vidéo Fabrication d'armure médiévale Making of medieval armor #7 est bloqué pour la France

    (Cette vidéo inclut du contenu de EMI, qui l'a bloqué dans votre pays pour des raisons de droits d'auteur.

    Opération impossible)

    Dommage !

  • craftsmanship such as yours is in short suppy good sir, keep the good work and for the love of god keep doing what you do and keep posting videos!!!

  • hello watched videos I saw, I was very impressed, I am really amazed at what you can do it.

    please send me drawings (and I will adapt them after my body size), the mail.

    Thanks!

  • 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.

    Joke.

  • Does he uses medieval techniques?

  • @asli9boy Was there electricity in middle ages?

  • cool

  • thank you for posting this ....it will come in handy

  • How long does it take to turn out the average siut?

  • These videos are INCREDIBLY helpful to anyone trying to begin metalworking. Thanks a ton!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah a power solo like eruption improoves the work

  • whats the thickness of the metal u using?

    1.5 mm?

  • Ha! je trouvais que tu travaillais pas assez fort. jk

    T'as été malade! Ça t'as pris combien de temps pour faire cette armure?

  • Wow must of taken him alot of pratice.

  • Tu travail vrm bien mec !! Serieusement 5* !!

  • This is pure ART. I hope the world won't lose craftsmen like you.

  • Tout ça pour être percé a coup d'épée ou de flèches :/

  • o man this is amazing i had no idea all the work that goes into armor

  • personally i like it better when it's unpolished

    it gives it a rugged, authentic look

    but still very nice job

  • Amazing work! Hobby or profession?

  • Being a landsknecht reenactor I simply just love this piece. Impressive craftmanship.

  • EEEEEERUPPPTTTIOOONNNN!!!

  • There is just something beautiful about European armor.

  • Wow! you work is wonderfull,and thanks i did my first armour part done.Thanks!

  • That is VERY cool!

    I'm going to be making that stuff when i'm older

  • Lol, the anvil is running away...

  • love your work

  • Incredible....

  • sweet

  • you are good at two things. picking good music and well you know what else

  • definition of masterpiece

  • i have seen your work and i love it.

    today was my first class with metals and now i think that there is a very log way to walk

  • 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.

  • what is the song at 2:20?

  • @Bluetoonlink100 Crystal method the matrix theme

  • hy have gold hands

  • 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

  • is 16 gauge strong enough for armor(as it was intended)?

    beautiful armor!

  • ton chalumeau, c'est simplement de l'oxygene et do propane?

  • VERY VERY NICE!

  • Sérieusement c'est de l'Art

    Bravo

  • Oui, je suis d'accord. Cet ouvrage étonnant, c'est de l'art.

  • best vid ever

  • very nice i love your work

  • wow....your skill is a dying art, im glad you treat it with respect and skill, very good

  • C'est tres magnific!!!

  • nice work

  • 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.

  • If it's thick enough it should.

  • i wonder if there is a vid for making a helmet

  • frick.. even at 1:40 that was good lol

  • I wonder how effective it would be if he just put some kevlar behind it....

    Amazing video, incredible work.

  • WOW !!! really impressive, you're high skilled !

  • i can make a suit of armour

  • ok...do u mean in games ?

  • it takes about 1 week to make this breastplate

    i have made it my self

  • How long does it take to make one breast plate?

  • what century armor is this? looks kinda 16th of 17th century stuff

  • ha te salen buenas

  • what type of torch are you using?

  • and make that sh1t to a thounsand of pples? YEAH RIGHT lol

  • SUPER!

  • 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.

  • AWESOME!

  • 2:20  whats that song called?

  • The song is called Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan.

  • 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?!

  • Clubbed to Death

  • Wonderful curving on the edges

  • nice love it I just added a vid of my armor tell me what ya think please

  • superbe !!! a quanles armures du manga saint seiya ! yade la demande !!

    encore bravo !

  • RESPEKT!

  • you have blown me away

  • eruption was a nice choice

  • your beast at this stuff man

  • *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.

  • When hammering the plate for the last time just to get a smooth surface use to be enough to work harden the steel/iron.

  • 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.

  • hm why do you heat it before bashing it into shape?

  • It takes shape with less work.

  • Are your pieces for display only? Curious because of your use of heat and thin gauge metal.

  • Judging by the amount of aesthetic detail, probably.

  • 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.

  • salut jai 15 ans et jme demandais quel sorte de torche utilise tu??

  • You are good. Though one question, how did you get started? Did someone teach you or did you explore your own methods?

    Regards,

    Puder

  • had a boner while watchin' XD

    5 starz

  • i think its van halen eruption.

    not sure but my best guess.

  • what is that song at 2:08

  • Clubbed To Death

    Matrix OST

  • Fantastic video! Greetings from a fellow armourer!

  • lol  anvil walking

  • tres magnifique!

  • 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.

  • rarrgh! its hammertime! XP

  • JESTEŚ BOSKI GOŚĆ

  • lol the breast must have taken you a long time! I was laughing when the rock music starts playing. Anyways, dude your work is really beautiful.

  • =D hey sgt why dont u make weps as well?

  • What is a wep?

  • a weapon like a sword/axe/mace ETC.

  • @SgtViktor

    I think he is asking if you make weapons. btw when you can pop into the archive, I have some questions about a project similar to this

    Sha-ul

  • 1 week.

  • how long did it take you to learn the art of armor-making?

  • I have been doing it for 22 years and am still learning.

  • were do you live. and who taught u how to smith?

  • i live in Quebec Canada, selftaught

  • are you kidding i live in British Columbia Canada.

  • 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.

  • realy realy neat

  • making of an armor suit = hours.

    destroying of an armor suit during actual battle = seconds

    fuck lol. respect to all you BSes

    (black smiths) out there

  • it takes alot more then the average aoldiers weapon to even affect a well made suit of armor

  • no it dont

  • have you tested it, because i have and garauntee you i know alot more about it then you

  • vyry good vidio!

  • i bet you would have a sore wrist at the end of the day lol

  • Vive le sergeant Viktor !!! Et vive Bico !!!!

  • vive le nouveau roi boureau

  • vous etês un artiste :D

  • absolutely beautiful.

  • almost erotic

  • malade

  • GET BOTH!!!!

  • mycket bra film

  • I love metalshaping and van halen.

    Wish I could planish as fast as Eddie plays

    Eruption or at least as fast as this guy in the video

  • Wow Beautiful work i wonder how many hours it took you clearly its edited and sped up but that is beautiful armor

  • you have to love the polishing bit dont ya :D

  • i like the music on this one better then on the others.

  • Un GROS bravo au sergent Viktor

  • doesnt the constant reheating of the metal weaken it? also, how long does it take you to forge an entire armor suit?

  • 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

  • If it is done improperly, it can make the metal more brittle.

  • 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.

  • great craftman

  • Brilliant, this is more like late medieval armour. Full plate didn't appear until the late 1400

  • how long did the entire process take?

  • About a week.

  • good music

    amazing craftmanship

  • espero k alguien me entienda si no no pasa nada pero me parece un trabajo impresionante sigue haciendo piezas asi y me gustaria que mostraras la creacion de un guantelkete gracias adelantadas adios y enorabuena

    por tu trabajo

  • voy a comenzar manopla italiana 15c en un mes y voy a hacer un vídeo.

  • wow... that all that can be said

  • whats tha name of music that is after the quick part of the vid

  • Rob D - Clubbed To Death

  • amazing...where did you learn all of these methods for making armour? The SCA? or the same way i learned maille via the internet and poking around for patterns.

  • truely amazing!!! i love your videos!!! thank you for posting!!!
