To be FLC, Huey needs to be included. Doesn't sound right without him.
Unfortunately Huey doesn’t seem to want to be included. I agree it’s not the same, but personally, I think Fast is doing a great job.
Who made the sallet you have in the video if you don't mind me asking videos?
Nice vlog.. Can we share here what's benefit this booster brake system than the original landy brake system? Because some rumours out there when the engine stops, then the brake using the booster is automatically malfunctioned.. I don't know how true it is.. Hopefully that you can share with us here about it.. Thank you so much🙏
Where might I get properly fitted Greaves?
Fitted greaves are a rare art and it depends where you live. Until his recent death, I would recommend Dave Hewitt, but White Rose Armouries are still going and his legacy is considerable. Otherwise, Jeff Wasson, Luke Binks, Josh Davis, Robert MacPherson, Jeff Hedgecock, Fred Ryall and some others. Watch out, it's not cheap.
@@monkeywithaspanner8494 thank you. Are all these English? I’m US.
@@angryeliteultragree6329 White Rose and Fred Ryall are English, Jeff, Josh, Mac and Hedegcock are American and Luke is Australian.
Thanks bro
so what would be so wrong with using modern sleeves for an arming cote ?
It's not "wrong", but there are other ways to do it. Medieval clothing has a different aesthetic to modern, western clothing. If you want to emulate that style, you need to do what they did, not what they did in a movie. More importantly, everyone I know who used sleeves with a modern cut (by which I mean, designed to hang by your sides), has torn the lower and back seams open, when they use it in action. There just isn't enough material to allow that kind of movement. The seams are the weak link and they rip at the point of most strain. Modern sleeves are designed to look fashionable whilst you stand casually, at rest. Sleeves designed for movement are cut to be in the position they will be during that movement, not when at rest. So in this case, raised and in front.
This is great! Just found your channel today
eeeeee sounds way off for a coverband.....no punch
love 'the biz' making the set. boom 🧨
Great guy 😊
Sounds like cover band …. No Huey just doesn’t work !
Sounds like you are a Huey fan, not an FLC fan. We hope you enjoy his solo work.
@@monkeywithaspanner8494No dude. Hes right. The FRONTMAN is PRECISELY that. The FRONT MAN. Without it is NOT the same band. Imagine Korn without Jon Davis, or the Beastie Boys going on without MCA.... Or even (gulp) Limp Bizkit with no Fred Durst. It is simply not the same. Now you might still like their ahit but your butthurt reply is wrong...
@@sideskroll thanks for your opinion. We hope you enjoy Huey's solo work.
Oh, neat. I never realized the rondel just floats there on a strip of leather. I dont know how else i expected it to be attached, but apparently not like that. Thanks for the detailed look!
No bother. Thanks mate

Are any tonlets segmented like faulds so that they can fold like a "concertina"?
Yes, Tonlet skirts should collapse in on themselves, so that they are only as deep as a single hoop, just like the fauld. Think of Toilet skirts as being a very long fauld.
@@monkeywithaspanner8494 ok cool. I have seen many pics just didn't see any that looked like they did so. I assumed some did. But some definitely didn't as some have removable panels front & back so one can get in a saddle and the panels I've seen are 1 piece.
@@asa-punkatsouthvinland7145 Don't forget there are different types of Tonlet skirt for different events and functions. Some skirts are solely for foot combat, some for mounted combat, whilst others are a hybrid, which would be more versatile in a general sense, but not as effective as a dedicated piece of armour. They each have their merits and problems. Also, don't forget that fashion and technology changes over the years and those factors will change styles and preferences. Personally I see no logical reason to let my jeans hang halfway down my backside, but it is very common.
I loved the begging intermezzo. That was great!
Aren't they fantastic?n I'm a huge fan.
Just discovered the channel! Lots of amazing information! Thanks for sharing these!
Thanks. I hope it helps.
When isn’t defender steering trying to kill you!
lol, you're not wrong. If she's not trying to kill me, she's robbing me. But, don't forget, Old Boy, this one is a "Series III", 6 years before "Defender" was announced, in 1990.
@@monkeywithaspanner8494I know how that feels. Ah yes of course my mistake, awfully sorry!
@@adamcraneblacksmith9248 A common mistake. At least you didn't call her a Jeep.
Good work. Another one out the door and online!
Factually accurate

You're very kind.
Really nice to see an update. Thank you so much! I was going to add it's a tad long, but I won't as it just taught me (a dutchman) the finesses of much/ many.
thanks for your comments. I considered making the film shorter, but in the end, I couldn’t be bothered to edit it down and left it as is. some people like that sort of thing. I don’t, but some do. As for het Nederlands, I can’t comment, as mine is awful, but I’m delighted to be of some small assistance with your English.
Good job, welding is fun! is that child labour in the background @ 02:15 ??

Sweet like nuts, mate
Why were some plackarts rigidly attached to the breast plate? Wouldn't doing this reduce range of motion and present the risk of the top of the breast plate pressing into the neck with forward bending motions? Wouldn't it also be easier to just make one large breast plate instead of riveting the two pieces together? I know this was done sometimes, I'm just wondering why. Two separate pieces attached with a leather strap makes more sense to me.
Good question. I regularly wore a single piece breast plate and single piece back plate, so have a lot of experience with that style. I can't say it was much of a problem, except in extreme movement, which was rare. Most fighting takes place within a certain range of movement and as long as the armour accommodates that, it doesn't impinge on your abilities. Also, modern fashion tends to put the waistline lower than most medieval fashion. The breast and back should be more like an armoured rib-cage than an armoured jacket. A short breast and back massively reduces the problem of it pushing up into your throat. Many reproduction breast plates are too long and so, suffer from just that problem. As for the ease of manufacture, certainly it is quicker to make a single plate than the form two separate plates and marry them together, but you must remember, not all of this is driven by practicality. Fashion and peer pressure is just as important now as it was then, so do you want to depart from the norm or look like your mates? Also, fashions change and so did this trend in later years. As for the benefits of a two piece construction, over a one piece, a two piece has much more articulation and some areas of double layer protection. The ball and socket design works well and provides good protection. The single piece, if designed and made to fit, should not be much of a hindrance, but can give a different aesthetic. I hope that helps...
@@monkeywithaspanner8494 Very helpful! Thanks!
showing the underside articulation was super super helpful for a costume im making, thank you so much!
I'm very pleased it was helpful. Good luck with your build.
Very disappointed with this. I was hoping to see a rebuilding tub video, perhaps with a bit of information about what you were doing. The noise was terrible.
How kind of you to take the time to pass on your critique. Most people just turn off, when they don't like it, but you have taken the time and made the effort to actually let me know. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I feel like I have truly arrived.
This is amazing!
you are very kind
How thick is that metal?. I'd guess it could be around 1,5mm ?
Kevin, on original medieval pieces, the metal can vary greatly on a single piece, as it is hammered by hand and can vary dramatically; sometimes deliberately, other times not so. Armour is usually thicker on pieces that are more likely to be hit and thicker on the section of that single piece that is more likely to be hit. For example, a helm will probably be thickest at the crown of the forehead, but relatively thin at the nape of the neck. Also, cuisse can be quite thin in places, because it is unlikely (though not impossible) you will receive a powerful blow to the thigh. We constantly come back to the point of compromise; how much protection do you want, vs. how much mobility do you want. Greater protection comes with greater weight, but mobility or lightness, reduces protection. So, what do you want, protection or mobility? Most find a point in the middle that suits them. So, in the thickest parts, it could be greater than 3mm, but at the thinnest, maybe less than 1mm. Don't forget, thickness does not equate to hardness, so it's a bit more complicated than just adding more steel.
@@monkeywithaspanner8494 yeah you are absolutely right and there were different usages for different types of armor too, combat, entertainment and fashion. The Wallace Collection has some interesting armor to look at here on youtube but none speaks of how thick the armor pieces are.
@@Annatar0 That's right. You aren't expected to wear sports armour for as long as you might be expected to wear battlefield armour, so you can stand more weight for a shorter time. Also the targets are much more specific and regulated, so you can be very specific with sports armour. I am very good friends with the arms and armour curator at the Wallace, I'll mention your observation to him, but do remember, thickness is only part of the equation and is not to be taken independently of form, hardness and function.
I’ve had ‘Belinda’ and ‘lofty’ 😬
Nice one
On Christmas no less ! Happy festivities !
Great vid ! Random RUclips search paid off!
Nice to hear Douglas. More to come...
Where have you been, caught up in some weird RUclips time warp, I have missed your vlogs, and your quirky sense of humour, great to see you back! Or maybe you have always been there and I was the one lost in the time warp.
Aww, thanks mark. I still have a ton of footage to get through, but it takes such a long to do each film, so I'm behind. I'll keep plugging away. Thanks for the encouragement mate.
Camera work is good ...
As the 'A' camera doesn't move, I assume you mean the magnificent work being done by 'B' camera on the cutaways. It's being operated by PINK, who is a kind of earthbound God.
Again nice camera work...
Yeah, that's Pink on the 'B' cam. He works miracles in following my rapid movements and filling in the gaps. You'd like him.
Nice camera work here
