[NeonShep]

Must make waking up and going to work worth it, when you have a job like this.

[MSCreationz]

[BorathIII]

[allfunbutnogames]

[dauma29]

[MrJsowa]

most beautiful and ingenious work ive seen ive watched this video multiple times and am mezmmerized at the locking mechanism......maybe one day ill be able to make things of this caliber

[Dercommandingofficer]

3:21 do you wear a respirator for that kind of work to not inhale the steel dust?

[keywolf23]

like for the song :)

[carljbordeleau]

Je n'ai qu'une seul chose à dire et c'est Bravo!!

Bien que de nos jours la fabrication d'armure n'est plus qu'un artisanat pour le loisir, beaucoup ne s'y adonnent qu'avec l'utilisation de machine. Le resultat ne se rapprochera jamais d'une texture fais à la main. La qualité que tu offre est celle d'un artisan digne d'éloge. Je te félicite pour ton courage, ta patience, ta percistance et aussi ton talent. Des gens comme toi, il devrais y en avoir plus!! :)

[ryandipinto]

where can i buy this!?

[GodHammer]

This is amazing, my best compliments, Sir!

[FenrirTheDarkWolf]

You Sir, are a craftsman as fine as one can be. I applaud you.

[CookieMonzta1995]

How long does it take to make a sallet like this? If that is the right word? And how much would you sell it for? I would buy a full suit of plate if I had a decent job!

[toasterhead91]

That is one nice looking salad... o.0

Seriously though it is great, I hope i can be that good someday... How long have you been smithing?

[armdg6]

"The blacksmiths have said for centuries that a blacksmith will go to hell for pounding cold metal. On the other hand the armour smiths have a very old saying that blacksmiths should never make armour. The basic issue is heat. The metal for armour is heated only in processes relating to the flat sheet. Once the sheet is cut up it is never ever heated again. Never ever!"

[spleegulence]

@armdg6 well that is true, you just can't move steel like that (refering to part 1) without heat. Before you comment back try doing that cold. (you really will go to hell) though for most armouring yah heat is bad, unless you are working carbon steel, cause the tempering requires heating, but mild steel, yah no heating unless raising a helm

[armdg6]

@spleegulence I am making armours and I have never ever used heat to it can you understand NEVER EVER I don't just speak I make it it is not impossible but days and weeks of work. It is really hard I now 2 mm is two mm and it shows how strong it is. My neighbour is really angry because cold steel has voice :) but thats the case nothing is impossible nothing, everything depends on patience so be patient don't want to make a helmet within 2 days but spend on it 2 weeks and be patient

[spleegulence]

@armdg6 Thats impressive. I make stuff as well but i have never raised something that intense. I have never used heat either, But I just assumed that it would overharden after a while and start cracking without at least annealing. (I know about the voice of cold steel, so do my neighbors a mile down the road...) ha ha

[armdg6]

@spleegulence Yes thats right although it is really hard to work cold it can crack easily I have tried different ways to make my first helmet and only the fifth attempt was succesfull because it cracked but what I accived at fifths time was a super hard and even flexible thing. I have proved all of my try's with a two handed axe and it was astonishing how good they stood it. They deformed a bit (thats what I mean under flexibility) and only after several hits did the axe go lightly through them

[75blain]

superbe... que dire de plus

[wariscomeing]

is higher the gauge of the steel better or what i dont get how its works ? like is 18 gauge better then 14 gage plz someone tell me ? hahaha

[Spyderv1]

@wariscomeing gauge is the thickness of the steel. The lower the number the thicker the steel is. I made my SCA helm out of 14 gauge and the rest of my armor is 16 gauge.

[wariscomeing]

@Spyderv1 o ok thanks man i get it now thanks (Y)

[kevenharbour]

Mais oh mon dieu, c'est le sergent Viktor :D !

[comicfan21]

if I may ask, what does the oil do?

[armsman70]

The hammering is work hardening the steel. They used heat in the medieval area for armoring. There is an armorer in England, Bill Radford, he use techniques they used in that time period, and he does alot of work with heat. Nothing wrong with hot raising, nothing wrong with cold. Either way it gets done.

[HorseJouster]

Bryanerobbin, please point us to your videos of you doing it 'right'. I'd love to see.

Sgt, keep them comming! Great videos, I love to see it being done from scratch like you show.

[bryanerobbin]

I am sorry to say anything negitave about your armor, but you would be thrown in prison if you tried to make/sell this in medieval times; this is because you ground off the hardend glaze on your armor, what would you do if someone took the hardend glaze off your anvil? you would FREAK as would I, and for all of you that would say that I dont know what I am talking about I am a accomplished armorer myself, though I prefer to use a cold working method.

[XXXMusicXXXMeXXX]

@bryanerobbin are we in the medieval times?

[egiuss]

@bryanerobbin Well it's not like someone's going to go to real battle with this. It's only for re-enactment, so there's no need for hardened glaze. And hot raising is just faster and more effective way than dishing.

[carlern55]

this is genius...!!! but plz maake a video hver you make neck protection.

[tigergrezz]

Great work, Eric! I always appreciate your videos. Not many people, including my SCA Laurel, are as open with their techniques of armoring. We need more folks like you. :-)

[NovallTalon]

Eric, your armor work as always is amazing! I want to know where you get your long neck raising hammers, it's hard trying to find them in the states!

[wayner396]

wonderfully done... i really admire your work and enjoy all your videos.. thanks for making them :-D

[Raist8000]
