Making a Closed Sallet - Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2018
- The first helmet I've made for someone that I've never even met before! The closed sallet was an interesting new take on sallets and closed helmets in the latter half of the 15th century, then continuing on to the subsequent 16th and 17th centuries. And I'm lucky enough to make one!

As the soon-to-be proud owner of this helmet, awesome work man!!
It's you! Thanks though haha, I'm glad you like it!
my favorite youtuber making my favorite helmet
I bought a bellows faced sallet and it's now officially my favorite helmet design. Good work, glad I subscribed!
aaaah! :D this is the helmet I saw on facebook, I was hoping you recorded the build of it!! awesoooome!
I am VERY exited to see you completing this helmet :D
Love that helmet style and your videos , keep um the great work :)
dude you are awesome, keep up the good work :)
Thank you! I will :)
I have a hammer suggestion. If you go to a farm store you might look in their horse shoeing department. They should have a 2-3lb hammer with a round face on it. I’ve been using one for dishing on my armory and it really cuts back the amount of work I have to do when smoothing the steel
I will give it a look. I usually round the faces of my hammers but it couldn't hurt to find something more specific!
I’m trying to get my buddy to make me one, where could I get the pattern?
your vids encouraged me to make my first wisby coat of plates
That makes me really happy! I'm glad I could hep out!
A fine piece of work...
*sees a chainmail coif in the corner*
....A very fine piece of work
Do you have the pattern for the dome part?
I ahd an idea of making a round skullcap out of just one piece, will that be possinle or no? @Living Manuscript
Definitely! I don't have much of it on y channel but look for a process called "raising", it is how they made many helmet skulls historically :)
Bru do have any scrap yards near you? Usually you can get tons of 12 14 and 16gauge steel at places like that
"THIS ABSOLUTE UNIT" fuck, you made spill my cereal all over with that zoom as i was laughing so hard.. also at the beginning that is a really nice sallet and bevor, I like them both alot. Here's a picture of my current project, about 6 hours in I have a little more to do puu.sh/C1OlB/580171b69e.png
Keep up the videos man!

Swigidy swag!
6:24 living manuscript and Alec Steele same person confirmed
I've been compromised
Am currently working on a helm myself, but, it's my first time forging a helm (I use heat to chape the helm) but is cold forging good enought for making Helmet halfs? Sorry if my English isnt very good, not my native tongue ;) PS: I use 12 gauge steel
Well, this is 12 gauge steel and I did manage to shape it cold, so I think it's fair to say it can be done haha. Later on I just weld the two halves together.
@@LivingManuscript many thanks, I'm going to cold forge then :)
Mister Bruls Good luck 🙂
@@LivingManuscript thanks ;)
make more videos please
Planning on it! :)
you make me oof
4:33 if I did that hammering technique the hammer would fly across the room 😂
It's a bit of a practice skill haha
Thanks for some inspiration too start making my own gear. I've always wanted a few bits of simple armor for a basic medieval crossbowman impression but the (mostly) absolute trash gear and clothing pedaled online has always put me off. I'll give it a shot on my own work.
I'm glad i can help out! Good luck making your own stuff! It's a very worthwhile journey.
How much would i have to pay you to make me a coat of plates or a brigandine and ship it to germany?
It depends on the style for sure. Like I've never made a late 15th century brigandine with all those little plates, but something like a Wisby style are more familiar with me. Although, it's only fair to bring up that I already have a few commissions lined up after this sallet. So I couldn't really guarantee how long something like that would take to do. I really appreciate the interest though!
@@LivingManuscript Visby stlye would acctualy be quite nice if you could tell me an approximately price we could settle the details if its within my budget and timewise theres realy no need for hurry :D
Gig Most of the Wisby coats of plates, like the ones with a smaller number of large plates, would probably fall in the range of $60-80 USD, I can't say much about the types with tons of small plates though haha. I'm not entirely sure what shipping to Germany would cost either though, I'm afraid. If you'd like, you can email me at thelivingmanuscript@gmail.com so that we don't have to keep coming back to this video 🙂
