Excellent idea! You know I'd be a bit disturbed when a suit of armor started describing itself to me but I think Lindybeige has enough general knowledge of the ages of man to give a pretty good tour of most historically themed museums.
You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
Lindy is hard enough on the knees and ankles as it is. Or at least my gimpy ankle kills me every time I risk it. I can't imagine that all that steel will help, relatively light as gothic plate can be.
Although a recent discoverer of your videos,your enthusiasm for this type of stuff is very obvious so I hope you enjoy your armour..you've even made Herrang and lindy-hop seem alluring (to someone who doesn't dance), well done.
I love those kind of workshops. I had a somewhat similar experience recently when I visited the shaper who is custom making my next surfboard. Glorious chaos.
I just want to say that I really enjoy the obvious enjoyment you have for the project. I'd have the same pain in making style decisions on something so monumentally cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
I'm looking forward to you tackling some common role playing game myths regarding what you can, and cannot do in a suit of armor. Such as jumping, climbing and swimming.
I'm happy for you Lindy. I think the first video of yours I remember watching was the point about drawing swords one almost a decade ago. I'm glad to see that your hobby has allowed you to do some things that you never would have been able to justify otherwise.
He might have liked the bucket helmet (or called crusader helmet?) as in Jerusalim there were many attempts of assasinations, something to expect when the "religion of peace" appeared! Quran 47: 4 "So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds."
According to the standards he has previously cited, great helms are probably the most rubbish of them all. Over-sized, very poor vision and little in the way of glancing surfaces. You really want to compare Christian and Islamic behaviour during the Middle Ages?
I am so glad you are finally getting a plate armor, I remember when you were contemplating which helmet would you wear IF you ever get enough money to afford a full suit of armor just a little while ago! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Good for you Lindy! Someday, once I complete my classes in precision metalworks, in going to build myself a modern interpretation of a WWII tank. I'm leaning on a combination of the T-34, (wide tracks) the panzer III (size, 3 man turret, welded seams) and the 38(t) for the drive assembly and suspension. Probably a set me back a bit, but I could make historically accurate 38(t)'s out of mild steel and sell them to recoup the costs. I'm just giddy thinking about it.
Coolness! I'll be eagerly awaiting updates! I love myself some custom fitted plate armours! Not really any other suits of apparel that are as smexy as that! Might i suggest getting a really big fancy feathered hat, with a hidden plate cap for your helmet?

This is my favorite channel in all of RUclips. I am so glad to have found your channel. I've watched over 100 of your videos in the past few days and I love 'em all. Edit: YES! Gothic armor is my favorite.
I've enjoyed your videos, and it's delightful to see you get such a wonderful reward out of it. I look forward to "Shopping for Rose in War of the Roses Armor" and other such excursions
I believe it has more to do with the joint that is closer to your hand. The thing you and I have (if I know what you're talking about) is just a recessive genetic trait and it's fairly common.
Wouldn't just one hammer do the job(of course I understand that you need hammers with different shapes, but different sizes not so much, and yes, I'm speaking from experience since my father is blacksmith too, and I never saw him using two or three normal shaped hammers that he has in his workshop).
Frank Teryngel Fair enough. the dude I trained under had different shaped faces on his hammers as this left different effects on the steel. Although it would depend on the kind of work being done. Your father may do different style of forging or may be skilled enough to perform a variety of tasks with a smaller selection on hammers.
As a metalsmith-in-training that does a lot of very small stuff- you'd be surprised how much the weight of the hammer affects your control, and the impact on the metal. In armoury you're going to need a lot more finesse and a lot less power for working on stuff like the finger armour, and much more weight but less finesse for doing general shaping on the breastplate. Having a slightly convex hammer face vs. a completely flat one, for when you're dishing. And different hardnesses of hammer face as well- it's possible you'll want a softer hammer when doing detailed work or repairing a piece of plate. Then there's the different kinds of hammers to use with different tools- again, softer or harder faces, your 'nice' hammers with mirror-smooth faces vs. the nicked up ones you use on chisels- chasing hammers for chasing and reposé, brass or wooden hammers for raising, hammers you use when cold-forging vs. hammers you use when hot-forging...
entirely possible given the videos I've seen of people doing the most extraordinary things in full armour so as to demonstrate how easy they were to move around in. In stark contrast to the impression most people have.
Minute Science swim the english channel? Safely operate anything with supercooled or Neodynium magnets? Take a piss mid-battle without getting your Gambeson all soggy?
Awesome stuff!!!! :-D A trebuche will not be too hard to finance, though. It's primarely made out of timber. I've seen them being constructed in a day using local timbers,
the question now that you have left open is what type of helmet is the suit going to have, surely you won't have a Gothic suit of plate matched with a kettle hat
there are some lovely 15th century kettle helms another example might be the celata aka the open faced version of the sallet, that comes without any visors or vision slits
Cristi Neagu Why spend money? France is just over the channel from England. Of course there are the moors in-between but he can pretend to be on crusade before personally reigniting the 100 years war.
If you haven't you need to go on the tour of the Chesterfield church. My Dad and I come from around there so of course he took me to it, more than once.
The USS Constitution was a 44 gun frigate whilst the HMS Victory was a 104 gun First Rate. There'd be very little contest in a straight up battle between the two. The only advantage the Constitution would have is that its more manoeuvrable but, if i remember rightly, Victory was pretty fast for a 1st rate.
SonsOfLorgar I was just confused why IA_Seldon thought the Constitution would somehow trump Victory. Now USS Pennsylvania on the other hand (the first rate, not the dreadnought). Although there were 72 years between Victory and Pennsylvania being built.
Now that you've mentioned Battle of the Nations, could you make a video on the subject? I know a lot of history enthusiasts compeletly dismiss it due to some safety compromises but I feel like you are able to approach things from relatively obejctive point of view. :)
I have just in the last few days discovered this channel... and have sence watched and enjoyed hundreds of videos. Great stuff Mr. ummm... Beige? lol... Keep up the good works and good luck on your new suit of armor!
Just walk around in it in town as if it's completely normal. Just do your normal chores etc like buying groceries and never acknowledge that you're acting out of the ordinary.
Bravo Sir! cant wait for your armor to be ready and see more videos!!! gonna be an awesome investment indeed! btw you need a poleaxe to go with that armor!
Anyone else want him to post his measurements? Purely for scientific purposes, nothing to do with a life sized Lindy Beige body pillow.
the first half of your comment made me interested. the second half made me uncomfortable
Matthew Millar I said purely scientific purposes.
+Matthew Millar I went through the opposite process
ha ha why you
lol nice
i cant wait to see him go to a museum in armor and blend in as a display and scare people
YES.
I WANT THIS.
+
Pricelss!
I bet it would be awesome!
YES !!!! YOUR THE MAN !!!! AMAZING IDEA !!!!
Excellent idea! You know I'd be a bit disturbed when a suit of armor started describing itself to me but I think Lindybeige has enough general knowledge of the ages of man to give a pretty good tour of most historically themed museums.
I'm actually very excited for this, and I'm not even the one getting the armour. Says something about Lloyd's videos I think.
Your videos are pretty good too, so don`t worry.
+exlibrisas Pretty good?! PRETTY GOOD?! I could watch all of Shad's videos non-stop and not get bored
Twice
...
Maaachiicuulaatiiooooons!
Agreed. But. You, Skal, Thrand, and Metatron are all in the holy Pentagon of medieval RUclipsrs.
You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
I will be keenly awaiting the video of you playing basketball in a suit of armour.
Hey i love all your videos keep it up
Ahhhhh exurb1a a man of culture and great choice as well as a fantastic philosopher I see
Fuck. Ing. Hell. Awesome to see you watch Lindybeige too!
It's not often I'm so looking forward to what a bloke is gonna wear
Lindyhop steps for the fully armored person. Make it happen.
Yes, please!
*CLICKIEDY* *CLANK* *CLIKIDEY* *CLANK* Pivet! *CLICKIDY* *CLANK*
This would be magical.
Lindy is hard enough on the knees and ankles as it is. Or at least my gimpy ankle kills me every time I risk it. I can't imagine that all that steel will help, relatively light as gothic plate can be.
GunFun ZS I counter that fighting footwork and mounting/dismounting a horse is probably equally as hard on the knees and ankles to begin with.
For your next project please re-enact the entire 1st through 4th crusades in full scale and in real time.
Roughly 100 years in fact. And yes, that is exactly what I want.
Turkey, Syria and Israel might have some diplomatic issues with that...
I'm sure they can work something out for the sake of science and history.
and if he pays for my armor i will role play as his Muslim adversary.
Graz! Looking forward to seeing it :)
Everyone is still looking forward to this
Give you a tenner to round up some elephants and cross the alps.
While using spandaus.
Elephant tusk spandau,best weapon ever
And katana bayonets
Don't forget the unscrewed pommels!
after today, a tenner isn't worth much anymore.
We need a video of Lloyd doing the Lindy hop in full gothic plate armor XD
Can't wait to see the finished suit!
this. so much of this.
do it
If there is one man on this earth that really deserves his own suit of armor then it's you! Looking forward to seeing more of this series!
What about Shed?
Shad doesn´t deserve armor until he can pronounce the parts properly.
"don't expect much before next march"... 2019 checking in
2021 checking in
A trireme would be nice. You could waterski behind it. Probably not in your armour.
in the armour
Ah! Perhaps a new goal for the Patron? A trireme? Hummmmm--- Too Greek for LLoyd? Could be Roman , maybe.
Carthaginian?
You'd have to have a second patreon to gather the crew for it.
This sounds exactly like our normal Pen and Paper mentality^^
Now just hope for the critical sucess^^
Can't wait for the video where your patrons fund you a castle complete with army, lands and peasants.
And Spandaus. For defense.
Complete with an armory replete with Tank tearing katanas.
Id join Lindy's army
in this case I think the patrons are the peasants.
I think being a passant in this Land of LindyBeige would be quite intresting^^
Patiently waits for update
Although a recent discoverer of your videos,your enthusiasm for this type of stuff is very obvious so I hope you enjoy your armour..you've even made Herrang and lindy-hop seem alluring (to someone who doesn't dance), well done.
Will you be fortifying an existing harbour or making it from scratch?
It should have some Archimedes claws for grabbing and capsizing ships. Also a death ray.
Daniel Taylor maybe gibraltar, the spaniards are hungry.
The death ray is a given. Every lair has a death ray. It's like evil mastermind 101.
What about sharks with 'frickin' laser beams attached to their heads?
You Sir are an extraordinarily interesting person.
Thank you for making these informative videos.
Next March was a year ago, we need a suit.
Next March was three years ago, we still haven't seen a suit. Or a book. Lindy is very bad at deadlines.
I love those kind of workshops. I had a somewhat similar experience recently when I visited the shaper who is custom making my next surfboard. Glorious chaos.
JELOUS!!!!!!!
More like the Unarmoured Skeptic
I knew you probably wached him!
didn't know i would find you here xD
Nope, envious, look up the simpsons.
Armoured Skeptic ya you only have the helmet
You seem like such a grand person. Love that you're putting the money back into something to give back to the community itself.
Lindyhop in armor!
I just want to say that I really enjoy the obvious enjoyment you have for the project. I'd have the same pain in making style decisions on something so monumentally cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
I'm looking forward to you tackling some common role playing game myths regarding what you can, and cannot do in a suit of armor. Such as jumping, climbing and swimming.
AWESOME! Looking forward to this project - both the progress and the outcome.
waiting for trebuchet and war galley
SquidwardAF Not enough Patreons.
We have to recruit...
Laying siege to the rice fields?
The trebuchet isnt that hard... Just need a bit of lumber is all
It's true, any idiot can build a trebuchet. Source: Am any idiot, built trebuchet.
CallMeNiel Do you got idiotism properly diagnosed or you are just boasting? If so: *triggered* If so so: *offended*
I'm happy for you Lindy. I think the first video of yours I remember watching was the point about drawing swords one almost a decade ago. I'm glad to see that your hobby has allowed you to do some things that you never would have been able to justify otherwise.
What style of helmet will you get?
I remember you saying you didn't really like any gothic helmets. Admittedly that was quite a while ago.
Undecided. Barbute is a possibility. Open-faced bascinet another. I think I'll go for an armet of some sort.
He might have liked the bucket helmet (or called crusader helmet?) as in Jerusalim there were many attempts of assasinations, something to expect when the "religion of peace" appeared! Quran 47: 4 "So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds."
There were also Barbute helmets but i don't think that was meant for fully armoured gentlemen.
Nothing quite as badass as an armet.
According to the standards he has previously cited, great helms are probably the most rubbish of them all.
Over-sized, very poor vision and little in the way of glancing surfaces.
You really want to compare Christian and Islamic behaviour during the Middle Ages?
Money well spent!
I hope we get lots of follow up/check in videos on this :)
Please try riding a bicycle is a full armour. Just for the Irony.
What irony?
'steely '.....fixed
did they do that in Monty python
The juxtaposition of technologies both old and new.
Give im a lance to carry as well.
still not irony
I am so glad you are finally getting a plate armor, I remember when you were contemplating which helmet would you wear IF you ever get enough money to afford a full suit of armor just a little while ago! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Not becoming a bodybuilder must be hard for you, but we all believe in you. You can do it! :P
Fabulous project, Lloyd! The best of luck to you, good sir!
Most obviously, the first thing you have to do once you get the armour is to find out if you can Lindy Hop in it.
Good for you Lindy!
Someday, once I complete my classes in precision metalworks, in going to build myself a modern interpretation of a WWII tank.
I'm leaning on a combination of the T-34, (wide tracks) the panzer III (size, 3 man turret, welded seams) and the 38(t) for the drive assembly and suspension.
Probably a set me back a bit, but I could make historically accurate 38(t)'s out of mild steel and sell them to recoup the costs.
I'm just giddy thinking about it.
I hope that you will go for the fortified harbor before the Trebuchet!
But if he got the trebuchet, he could conquer some other youtubers fortified harbour using that.
+MrDUneven
Not a fortified harbor worth conquering, he couldn't.
he might capture a not-so-well-fortified harbour and fortify it, that would be cheaper than building it from nothing.
but why?
most fortified places have siege engines so that they can return fire so getting the Trebuchet first would simplify matters, somewhat
Coolness!
I'll be eagerly awaiting updates!
I love myself some custom fitted plate armours! Not really any other suits of apparel that are as smexy as that!
Might i suggest getting a really big fancy feathered hat, with a hidden plate cap for your helmet?
Will you wear this when you duel Skal? Make sure you add reinforcements for pommel throws.
You're in safe hands with Dave and White Rose. A fantastic craftsman.
It's done! 2022 may 1st
This is exciting to see! I've always wanted my own suit of armor, but now I get to live vicariously through you!
So in the future you'llhave the difficult question: What's to get first? War-galley or fortified harbour... Decisions, decisions.
Clearly you must have the harbor first to dock said war-galley in.
Yes, a harbour, but does it need to be fortified?
Can it be fortified with wooden walls?
+blinkyrem must have earthworks too
Of course it needs to be fortified, how the heck will we keep the vikings (VIKINGS!!!) away?
Man! You can tell he's excited.
Oh how the future turned out
How did it turn out?
He got his suit and lets not forget Covid etc?

keep us up to date and posted with the progress, we'll be as excited as you are!
Can't wait to see the fortified harbour.
reminds of in youth wanted to make, tried in paper/cardboard, and drew robots too. great.
Hm, a fortified harbour, that's what I'm getting! Don't own any land next to any bodies of water, so it is sure to be one of a kind.
I'm glad for you Lloyd I hope it comes out well
double jointed thumb? does that mean that your thumb can also bend back (that's what i have) or is it something else?
I believe it has more to do with the joint that is closer to your hand. The thing you and I have (if I know what you're talking about) is just a recessive genetic trait and it's fairly common.
So if you have a recessive gene, does that make you a recist ?
I have that too, my friends are scared of it now
I'm curious about it too!

YES!
in 30 kilos of chainmail... holy shit.
I want one in tweed. Wing tip shoes, of course. Second choice would be penny loafers.
the question now that you have left open is what type of helmet is the suit going to have, surely you won't have a Gothic suit of plate matched with a kettle hat
A kettle hat is a possibility.
Lindybeige Kettle with plate, WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA!
Isn't the kettle hat a wee bit low-born fo a man cald in full plate?
+Jim's Old Lectern you can actually get very nice looking kettle hats, they have a photo of one on the website that he's getting his armour from.
there are some lovely 15th century kettle helms
another example might be the celata aka the open faced version of the sallet, that comes without any visors or vision slits
That's great news! Congratulations on getting the armour started!
Do you still have money left to spend it on some frenchmen targets?
Cristi Neagu Why spend money? France is just over the channel from England. Of course there are the moors in-between but he can pretend to be on crusade before personally reigniting the 100 years war.
A bit like the ending of "Holy Grail".
This was without reasonable doubt the best ending of a video ever.
What do you mean, "You don't usually go bike riding in a suit of armour"?! Speak for yourself. Those roads are dangerous.
What if you fall off the bike on asphalt? Your armour will be scratched. Not a good idea to wear it while biking.

Give him all your money, folks, I wanna see him build a harbour!
I can't wait for his armor to be finished. I can only imagine how excited he must be. I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
so.... march, eh? how's it coming? any updates?
Lloyd's eyes in the thumbnail are just amazing in the joy they project.
"Not to spend it on myself having fun" > buys a suit of armor. :D
Chesterfield! haha! awesome. I work in that town, I cant believe I missed you!
But here is the question: What helmet shall ypu be choosing?
If you haven't you need to go on the tour of the Chesterfield church. My Dad and I come from around there so of course he took me to it, more than once.
4 years later. Still no armor!
Seeing as how every boy's dream is to own a full suit of plate armour, I can almost imagine how excited you are right now!
Don't forget the most important part of the suit of any Knight: a Black Russian.
Congratulations Lindy, I can tell you're very excited. We're all excited for you! Enjoy!
War games in the harbor! I get to be Lord Nelson's fleet.
Micha-el Cleveland I'll see your HMS Victory and raise you a USS Constitution. Your move.

Congratulations Lloyd! I'm getting excited!
Short question from 2020: How is the armour going?
I too, have double jointed thumbs. Makes for a fun party trick
March is over now, hows this progressing?
I look forward to seeing it when it's done, and am more than a bit jealous. If you are ever in the US, please let me hit you with something.
you do know we expect to see you dance Lindy Hop in a full suit of gothic armour, right?
I demand he never takes it off!
Well, if you're expected to be able to fight in it, you should be able to dance in it I reckon.
Joey precisely.
5:44 Well, now It's almost May so I'm getting excited.
"Don't expect to see things before next March" interesting, it being towards the end of April now...
Now that you've mentioned Battle of the Nations, could you make a video on the subject? I know a lot of history enthusiasts compeletly dismiss it due to some safety compromises but I feel like you are able to approach things from relatively obejctive point of view. :)
any updates yet lindy?
I have just in the last few days discovered this channel... and have sence watched and enjoyed hundreds of videos. Great stuff Mr. ummm... Beige? lol... Keep up the good works and good luck on your new suit of armor!
Just walk around in it in town as if it's completely normal. Just do your normal chores etc like buying groceries and never acknowledge that you're acting out of the ordinary.
Well I dunno about you but I'd be wearing that armor every casual friday I could get
Man he is so exited and glowing with joy :D A dream come true i guess :D Keep up the good work!
You could get a compromise and just get an English style but wear a lot of eyeliner?
