- This will be the last in this quick fire look at various tools I use. Next I'll do one on my various stakes, but be warned I don't have many.
This giant came way of Dave Hewitt at White Rose and Fred Ryall of Ryall Armouries.

When I did my apprenticeship with David we used the dishing form he had there quite a lot, to get things started, putting in curves etc … so I wanted one and the only place I could find to get one cast was up near Fred in Liverpool.
I don't use it nearly as much as I thought, but when I need one it is perfect and had more than earnt it's keep.
Yes please on a separate video covering the topic of dishing vs. raising.
I'll try. Im the master of neither but I can likely cover the basics :)
Graham, it's always educational and interesting to see the tools used by various Craftsmen, along with their workshops. Thank you for making this "quick fire" series!
Very welcome
Where did you get this?
I`m new to the channel but loving your content so far!
I`ve got a question and apologies if you`ve covered it in a previous video but how do you go about making the initial sketch / template of the piece you start working on?
I sort of have and haven't covered it, but will try and do it in a single video. The difficulty is, it is such a moving target and something that alters depending on the resources I have to hand and the materials. But I'll add it to the list and give it a try.
@@GreenleafWorkshop it would be appreciated as it's something I struggle on finding any good tutorials on
Raising is so confusing, I have to dish two halves and then weld them to keep the thickness.
it's tough to get good at, I am not there yet, I still have the odd failure. Kevin Legg over at Plessis is a master of it on helmets. Sometimes I think of bits of the raising as compression, particularly once you have started to put in the curves and that helps.
Heat a section, lets call it ABC, then hit A in towards B a bit, then C in towards B, and then flatten B. that way you compress the work as well as raise it, you gain thickness as well.
To muddy the waters further, there's lot of research that shows they maybe didn't raise helms much anyway, rather worked them from the inside onto a flat surface and others think that the original sheet material may have been bought by the armourers in pattern form with different thcknesses. Raising is just one technique to use when it's the one to use :)
