Everything about this series is great, from the production, the historical background information, the clarity of presentation, and the quality of the actual reproduction. Great stuff!
Thanks so much, Knyght Errant! It's an honor to have you check out our little channel. I've watched your videos for years and they are in a way one of the seeds and inspiration that have led us here. Your pursuit of historical accuracy and authenticity in all your videos has been a massive influence on the standard that we humbly strive to emulate.
Awesome job Connor and Joel. You guys have done a fantastic job with this series and the end results speak for themselves. I can't wait to see what in the works.
Wow, great production value and armourer skills. I know what it takes to do these making-of videos and you bring it to the next level :) Bravo too not sure who's who Connor-Ryan Grzesiak for the camera work and editing.
This was an incredible series! From the great craftsmanship to the amazing production on the video side of things, you managed to make the process clear and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it and wish you get the recognition you deserve on your future projects.
Massive congratulations on an incredible and engaging series. Captivated from the first episode to the last. Well done to all involved, looking forward to what comes next.
Hey folks. Thanks for this series. I really enjoyed it, as I know very little about this period. A couple of questions: 1: is there any evidence on the original helm of what it's original finish would have been? 2: are chin straps correct, or would it have been worn without?
These are excellent points, Zac. I'll do some more research to find some concrete answers but as a general statement, making definitive calls on some of these earlier artifacts is quite a challenge at least from my understanding since: 1. The original artifact is in quite a bad state of corrosion 2. The artwork from manuscripts of this time is not as refined as that of the 15th century for example 3. There are very few remaining helms this far back in time (as far as I know this is the earliest surviving great helm). That all said, the finishes depicted in art seem to be of a "white" or high-level finish and some even appear to be gold gilt although this may be paint, I am not sure. So my guess would be since these were highly valued pieces they would've been taken to the best finish available at that time. As to the chin strap, that is a challenge to say at all. I did include it because it improves the functionality in a reenactment setting and is common practice. However, it is possible I suppose that the pressure of the fit and the friction of the material was what secured them in place. The original has a pair of holes on both sides on the lower backplate about midway down that may either be for a crest or for a chin strap. At this stage, it's hard for me to say however I will look into it. Hope that answers the question somewhat although not definitively.
Mate your content is amazing! This is something I’d expect to see on TV. I’m honestly surprised you don’t have as many subscribers as your channel deserves yet. Cant wait to see some more of your content! Keep up the good work.
An amazing series! I really appreciate all the information on my favorite helm. Really inspired to try and make my own. (Even though won't even be close to as perfect as what you've made.) Hope to see your channel grow!
So satisfying to see it come together at last. I understand the helmet is made from mild steel, which is susceptible to corrosion. Will you take any measures to prevent rust?
Well polished steel certainly finds an opportunity to rust quite readily. The solution to prevent that is to keep a constant layer of an oil on the surface, just enough to dry and create a barrier for oxidation. Personally I use a lanolin oil which is an animal oil derived from sheep's wool. The key is to upkeep that coating after every use and every time the helm is used
I really enjoyed every single episode but I have one question burning under my nails: the song at 4:55 is incredibly catchy, what's the title of the song?
So glad you've enjoyed this series Alex! And alas, we can't let those nails of yours burn any longer. The song is called "Fighting in the Air" by Andy Warner. :D
Actually it rusts less if the raw scale is left on the steel. However all surfaces on the inside of the helmet are painted black to prevent that exact problem
Thank you so much for these. It has inspired me to re-attempt making the Dargen Helm, as this series has been so informative and helpful with the making process. Do you have any idea of what you want the next project to be?

nicely done!

Thank you, Luke, and thanks for your guidance, oversight, and wisdom behind the scenes of this project
Every episode something improves. Really impressed with this series, keep it up!

Attention to detail not only with the historical background but also the way you make things. Love the sense of humour as well.
Thanks 🙂

Loved seeing this helmet put together! I can’t wait to be able to afford one! I also can’t wait what you make in the next series!
amazing work ! im looking forward to seeing more video's :)
Thank you so much mate, more are coming soon :)
How did you attach the liner to the helmet? Is it riveted to a band inside the helmet?
There is a band of leather that is riveted into the helm using the riveted that run around the center. The liner is then stitched to this band
@@IronCrownWorkshop thank you. Nice work man
Looks Awesome, well done

Спасибо за субтитры. I know English fifty fifty... И Google translate))))
Я пришёл с канала Armory smith, ты тоже делаешь классные вещи. Спасибо за видео уроки
bloody brilliant! well done mate really cool video keep it up! :)
Video where the helmet is built himself cool.
I really enjoyed every single episode but I have one question burning under my nails: the song at 4:55 is incredibly catchy, what's the title of the song?

I'm halfway through the build . What rivets do you recommend? And where to get them from ? Nice work 👏 👌
Either Clouts or roofing nails annealed and peened on tbe outside or find a solid domed rivet supplier (may require some googling)
Красава
👍👍👍☺
Боже правый. Колокольчик не сообщил о выходе нового видео! Сейчас исправим)
Ни одного видео до этого не пропускал с момента подписки
Какой классный брат, рад, что ты с нами :)
Won't it get rusted from the inside, if not grinded there?..
Actually it rusts less if the raw scale is left on the steel. However all surfaces on the inside of the helmet are painted black to prevent that exact problem
@@IronCrownWorkshop Roger that. Thanks a lot!
Only 4k views?, It’s official……RUclips is rigged.

Mate that is so awesome to here! I'd love to see your version of it when you get round to it! We do and well post soon about what it will be :)
