- The title does a good job explaining what this is. It's a video of making leg armor of the late 15th century, but it's totally bumpin'.
Eventually I'll make another video that actually explains what I'm doing.

absolutely wonderful! Your videos are getting quite popular with Russian reenactors community, I tell you what. A few days ago you got 2.5 thousand clicks when i reposted you to our page. Also, your harnischfechten is improving!
Thank you! And thanks for sharing, it's good to know my videos are getting out there in more communities. I did notice in my video analytics that there was a huge spike on the 23rd of August, was that your post?
Now that was simply amazing... I have watched some armoursmith videos over the last months and that one shows a really iconic amount of crafting skills. Keep up the good work... 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
I know I've said it to you numerous times to the point where it doesn't need to be said, but this kit really came out perfect :)
Woow, this is awesome!
I'm very impressed by your craftsmanship and what you can do despite having limited tools.
But now i can't use that exuse anymore to not make armor.
Thanks for giving me inspiration to start making armors again :)
Keep up the great work.
Thanks! The best thing I could hope for it to inspire someone, best of luck!
very nice work as Always!
after a whole week of studying and 4 exams on Friday, this is the best way to relax!
I'm glad I could help out in some way!
holly molly realy nice Job
Ich got you
Amazing work! Any chance you could do a talking video where you discuss the details of the design and build process?
Thank you! That's the plan, that sort of video just takes a little longer to put together than one like this, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
Nice keep up the great work!
I think you should get a propane blowtorch. It's not as powerful as a oxyacetylene torch but if you try heating a thin sheet, it can be powerful engouth, at least to anneal it. I bought one recently. 2mm is a bit too thick for a propane blowtorch, but 1mm can be heated to an orange heat quickly.
If you plan on getting one, look for the most powerful one. 2000 watt is good. I got a 1.6 watt and it struggles with 2mm steel.
A propane oxygen burner is quite enough to forge most armor. For forging helmets, it is better to have a blacksmith's forge on charcoal, if possible. And the knee pad can be forged from a single piece of metal. In general, I recommend the author to watch the video from the Armorsmith channel and Eric Dube. There are very talented masters who show their skills and you can learn a lot from them! Success to the author
Wow really good! A long time ago I tried to make articulated legs like that but its hard to get right lol. Next time I try I will study this video.
Thanks! It's definitely a tricky thing to do, these still have a few problems I need to work out, but fundamentally it's pretty straightforward haha
If I was to make full plate armor from one sheet, how thick should my sheet be? do you think 18g is enough or I should try 16g?
Sweet....I wish I was this cool.
Looking awesome! I just started to work on a pair of 14thC english spaulders
Buuut I'm using 14 gauge, as I got it cheap, and I got a lot of it, and it was a very bad idea, it's so hard to dish :(
Thanks! 14g is definitely pretty hefty for that sort of thing, won't be easily dented though haha. I hope they turn out well!
BOI
All the big channels (the ones I'm sure we both know and follow) should see this
Doing my best to catch their attention!
@@LivingManuscript If your in the US you should try contact Alec Steele and do a collaboration
Id very much like to know where you buy your steel
That music around 3:50 sounds like Sappheiros. Is that Sappheiros?
Do you have patterns to share? Amazing job
Thanks! Unfortunately I made my patterns as I went, which means they went through a lot of changes as I worked the steel since most of my patterns rarely survive contact with the steel. They're also about an hour away from me at the moment haha. A good place to get some inspiration for the shapes of patterns are here: www.armourarchive.org/
@@LivingManuscript armourarchive it's the Mecca, tnx!
@@LivingManuscript I just had a look at the Armour Archive... Excellent source! 😎
Whats the song at the start?
Does the wing have to be that big
Absolutely not haha, I hugely misjudged the size of the original when I was making it. I think now it shouldn't extend beyond the where the second flute is currently.
i could wish to something like that
without ''wingzilla'' ofcourse
Thank's you show and you Teach me..to make legs armore..jesus kristus love you...amin
a minor suggestion, get an extra ball peen hammer from the store and regrind the profile on your bench grinder to the curvature you desire so I don't have to watch you put so many edge marks.
Thanks for the tip! Usually I do that to my ball peens, though it definitely couldn't hurt to have a few more with more aggressive curves.
Nice work! Only complaint is the background music. There are plenty of places to find public domain medieval music, such as:
