I have something of a suggestion for your power source. I'd use an old cell phone battery or lithium polymer cell. LiPo cells can be easily acquired at which point you can get a charging board just as easy. The batteries themselves cost around $5 while the battery management boards cost less than a dollar and have a preinstalled micro USB for use with a standard cellphone charger. That way you could have a micro USB to charge the system and not have to worry about changing batteries when one goes dead.
Lot of prop builders out there making Ironman helmets they can barely see out of that need to watch this vid. Great work as always. This channel inspired me to make a screen accurate mostly aluminum sheet Kylo Ren helmet. Took almost half a year but was well worth it.
Nice. Rev2 idea. Instead of having a switch installed in the mask you could create contact points on both the helmet and the mask to complete the circuit. The intention being that the eye light up automatically as soon as the mask is attached to the helmet. (And auto turn off when removed)
I would like to see you make a real effective armor suit. Made with tempered steel and kevlar and fiberglass fabric with epoxy together. Making you bullet proof. Accrylic protection for the eyes. Devices that amplify sound so you can hear better etc.
you could put an extra magnet on to the helmet part not to hold it on but it could activate the mask when you place it on, and then the switch could be an override to shut it down when on, would also act as a battery saver cause the mask would auto turn off when you take it off, plus the whole thing would have a cool added effect
Since you are working with so small gauge sheet metal I suggest you get few different size rubber hammers(with a round head) as well, they are heavier than a wooden hammer so its should be easier to shape the metal. It helps keeping the metal clean off of bumps and scratches while you are shaping it. :) Or a copper head hammer.
i have an idea. there should be wired plugging into the base of your skull, into your skin, with a bar code underneath. there should also be more chiseled cheek bones, or something to give it more of a skull look. either way, this is really cool and looks like fun.
I subscribed to your channel years ago along with downloading your armor template app. I'm quite impressed with your level of expertise and talent that you have. You make manipulating metal look quite easy. I'm a metal fabricator that's self taught so I learned quite a bit on my own. I wish I would have found or seen your videos so much sooner than I did. Your an excellent teacher and quite a few of your techniques that you show can be used in quite a bit of metal fabrication. Keep up the amazing work. I always look forward to seeing your work!
Spray adhesive, yes, probably, but landau adhesive is much stronger. That stuff comes in cans but you are supposed to use a gun to spray it with. I use it for my car interior parts and I just brush it on.
So, I actually found this page checking our your custom door panels video, and I just wanted to thank you for showing me the coolest thing I have seen all week.
im impressed how round you got the dome with just dishing. i remember when i did my first helmet how much of a hard time i had. ive gotten much better now, with new tools and skills, but still dread going for that second attempt.
I don't enjoy the dishing either...but it's pretty satisfying looking at it after I beat the metal into submission and forced it to take the shape I wanted haha
David Guyton i love watching your videos but id need to sort out a dishing stump before i can try out any of your templates, if youve got any tips on making the bowl itself id love to hear them
I will be doing a video soon on making a dishing stump. But it's pretty straightforward. You need to find a log of hardwood (such as oak) a great place to look is firewood for sale, or a tree that has been down for a year or more. Wood that has been dead for a year or more is "seasoned", or in other words dried out, which is important. After you get a log that is suitable, you just need to hollow out an area. Some people use a chisel but I just used a handheld grinder to make mine.
Haha, damn, that is fucken dope! Why in the eff have we not seen you on the news fighting crime yet?? You could start some kind of revolution, like kick-ass or something!
Hotglue is a very sturdy material. Check out foam core airplanes, they're hot glue, cheap ass foam and sticks + electronics and it works beautifully. I always enjoy the videos, and I look forward to more.
If you want to make another helmet like this one to fit your head, I would recommend a life cast. Either punished props, I like to make stuff, or tested. One of those channels.
I love sculpting with sheet metal & I can't believe I just found your channel! I'm definitely inspired to do more work like this. Great tips & I'll be making me one those end cap pipe dishing anvils. Awesome work!
It would be cool it you ran the circuit through to the magnets on the head mount as well as the face plate, so when you put the faceplate on the circuit would be completed, lighting up the eyes. just an idea
i'm shock on how you don't have more subs then 100 k , thought u would be at 500k or close to 1 million or some thing , but i love the vidoes and keep up the grate work
Cool, but one thing missing. It needs sliding curved platelets that cover the back of the neck. Computer in the helmet? Maybe, maybe not. Sensors in the helmet that can detect eye movement, mouth movement, voice, etc. linked to a computer elsewhere sounds more workable and evolutionarily correct . Flaw in animal design as well as humans. Placing the brain (computer) in the most likely area to sustain attack, thus a thick skull. Animals that fight by biting having to present the most sensitive and crucial weapon (their brain) directly into the fray. Humans and animals eyes located directly in front of their computer. Subjecting the computer to damage simply by popping head up to take a look. Seems the brain or computer would be safer located deep within the body in a hardened shell while the head is used as a base for sensors like sight, taste, smell, etc.
I just found this by accident searching ideas to make a realistic metal armor cosplay because I don't want to do 3d or use worbla or foam! I love this! So incredible! teach me Senpai!! lol
Glad to have you on board Cindy! Make sure to check out the Armor Templates Facebook page too...lots of people on there as good as me or better offering tips and tricks on how to do this stuff.
it would be much cooler if the faceplate light turned on when you snap it on to the helmet, so then you can have the battery in the main helmet and connect the negative wire to the left or right magnet of the main face plate and vice-versa.
Dude that's awesome. In that one 10 minute video I got so many tips and ideas for tooling and metal shaping I'm looking forward to applying them to my own work. Great work and I'm excited to watch more of your videos.
I think it would have looked better if you went with a Great Helm-esque look for the mouth area, or a gas mask nozzle similar to the helmet from the movie Spectral. Right now it looks like Ironman with his mouth open.
This would be amazing for making fallout power armor costumes, if it doesn't get too heavy. It could be easier from a weight standpoint to use something like thin 6061 aluminum.
not sure if this will work with this metal but you can use a jeweler's saw to cut curves but yes it takes longer then the cutting wheel but it dose come out smoother
Hey! Super cool helmet! Quick question: Can you see well with the mask on? Even with the lights on? I want to make 5 of these masks for my bandmates and me and i would love to be able to perform on stage with these kind of masks on. Is that possible in your opinion? Or is it too hard to see through these masks (with lights on)? Thanks in advance!
I would say that being on a stage in the dark is a little too much. If it were me, I would come on the stage with the lights, and then remove the faceplates.
you should make a full body armor like iron man and then showcase it in a video! that would be awesome! ive recently seen your channel and your work is amazing!
As an engineer, I can definitely build a computer into the helmet. the biggest challenge is to build an air filter into the mask.
Or you know, make the coolest suffocation device ever :P
Gary Turbo I don't think it's that hard. Maybe just use a small cooler and some respirator parts
as a human I can build a computer into the helmet ;)
Sorry bud, i am not into that.
*****
haha
every time I get a notification from this channel I swear it's like Christmas morning
Merry Christmas!
David Guyton do the Breaking Point from S.U!
David Guyton nice dude really liked it
Swig Swag
thank you Mr Swang
David Guyton how well can you see out of the faceplate with the LEDS on?
The quality of your videos continues to get better and better! Another great build! 👍👍

It’s nice to see people making their own designs, when I search “mechanical mask/helmet” it’s all cosplay
Nice.
Rev2 idea. Instead of having a switch installed in the mask you could create contact points on both the helmet and the mask to complete the circuit. The intention being that the eye light up automatically as soon as the mask is attached to the helmet. (And auto turn off when removed)
Ah so actually removing my head isn't okay?
Good, glad we covered this
That looks like a real life concept art or prototype for the CoG helmets from gears of war 1 or 2 and I love it!
the magnets are a really nice touch for the facemask part! Love this build even if I'm not that much in the futuristic genre.
I hope this guy gets a contract from the military to make the next gen armor suits for soldiers, amazing work.
awesome...just awesome.i hope the art of blacksmithing never fades away.I wish I could do that
This helmet the arm and the superhero breast and back plat should make a Great looking ensemble.
that craftsmanship and this mask! cool af!
I would like to see you make a real effective armor suit. Made with tempered steel and kevlar and fiberglass fabric with epoxy together. Making you bullet proof. Accrylic protection for the eyes. Devices that amplify sound so you can hear better etc.
I still say if you did work on TV or movies for armour, it would HAVE to win you a pretty prestigious award.
you could put an extra magnet on to the helmet part not to hold it on but it could activate the mask when you place it on, and then the switch could be an override to shut it down when on, would also act as a battery saver cause the mask would auto turn off when you take it off, plus the whole thing would have a cool added effect

This is seriously one of the coolest props I have ever seen in my entire life.
this is definitely one of the coolest thing on the internet

there should be wired plugging into the base of your skull, into your skin, with a bar code underneath.
there should also be more chiseled cheek bones, or something to give it more of a skull look.
either way, this is really cool and looks like fun.

thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed the video!
for the visor, you could use night shade spray paint on a piece of plastic
instead of using the metal dish, if you can't get that, you can get a wooden stump and make a small dish in it... works like a charm.
so happy I just stumbled on this page. you are insanely talented my friend.
It's a mix between Iron Man's helmet and the power armor helmet from Fallout 4... I love it!!!
For a full bionic set you can craft a power supply on a belt or something to power the complet armor.
One of my professors in college, showed us 3M Super 77, and said "this is the best damn spray adhesive money can buy."
Spray adhesive, yes, probably, but landau adhesive is much stronger. That stuff comes in cans but you are supposed to use a gun to spray it with. I use it for my car interior parts and I just brush it on.
Nice, nice, nice! These are the nicest costume armor pieces on the internet bar none.
So, I actually found this page checking our your custom door panels video, and I just wanted to thank you for showing me the coolest thing I have seen all week.
you're welcome! And thank YOU for checking out my channel!

Watching you work is the best kind of construction porn.
I really like that faceplate, reminds of space marines and bionicles!
whats next? bionic Leg?
probably, yeah
David Guyton ohh please yes
David Guyton naahh i think you should do the bionic chestplate first
ThatOneGuyWhoWatchesHentai your name alone just earned you a subscriber. congrats
ThatOneGuyWhoWatchesHentai
bionic penis!
Looks like something from the Warhammer 40k universe. Very cool!
With all these bionic parts, it would make you a cyborg
I love sculpting with sheet metal & I can't believe I just found your channel! I'm definitely inspired to do more work like this. Great tips & I'll be making me one those end cap pipe dishing anvils. Awesome work!
You can cut the bottom off an old retired oxygen or acetylene tank to use for banging out a bowl shape.
Deserves a full suit... and a badass fight scene.
It would be cool it you ran the circuit through to the magnets on the head mount as well as the face plate, so when you put the faceplate on the circuit would be completed, lighting up the eyes. just an idea

Medallion great not grate
Baelor Dullahan *Great, not grate. If you are going to correct someone's grammar, one would do well to use proper grammar oneself.
sorry , am not good with spelling . thanks for point it out :) #GreatHelp
Just goes to show you that not everyone is into what we are. Remember that for future reference.
Cool, but one thing missing. It needs sliding curved platelets that cover the back of the neck.

dude this isan awesome tutorial. I've been working on a metal hockey mask, I wish I would have known half the things you showed in your video.
What planet are you from?
It's *amazing* btw
Crazy Corbin mars
Crazy Corbin of course he is from Holy Terra... look that astartes helmet or maeby an Officio Assassinorum member
Crazy Corbin
Uranus
Of course earth we all live in earth
OMG! You guy must come out of Ephestus dude!!! Keep up the good work, your hands are some kind of blessed! Many likes.
Whenever you don't have the face part on, you look like a warrior going into a crusade.
I just found this by accident searching ideas to make a realistic metal armor cosplay because I don't want to do 3d or use worbla or foam! I love this! So incredible! teach me Senpai!! lol

Hey David, I am new here and amazed to see you works, thank you for sharing your work. 👍🏾
Glad to have you here! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Nice build! Look forward to the new masks.
Dude that's awesome. In that one 10 minute video I got so many tips and ideas for tooling and metal shaping I'm looking forward to applying them to my own work. Great work and I'm excited to watch more of your videos.
badass! outstanding metal work...😎
If i had this with the jetpack and the bionic arm...
COSTUME PARTY!!!
Dude ,that is one cool ass hobby .
if anyone can make fallout power armor including power armor frame, and have it look like it's straight out of the game it's this guy
I think it would have looked better if you went with a Great Helm-esque look for the mouth area, or a gas mask nozzle similar to the helmet from the movie Spectral. Right now it looks like Ironman with his mouth open.
This is super cool! you make a bionic leg, and torso armor, you'd pretty much have an updated RoboCop cosplay!
I swear he will be our first superhero
Seriously Awesome... Have you thought of adding a Laser light pen - and incorporating it into the side of the helmet..??
You should keep doing bionic themed armor. They're SOOOO COOL!!
Can't wait to do this build for Halloween:) I just go to a Halloween party I'm all like "I like metal, so suck it plastic lovers"!
DUDE, U HAVE AMAZING TALENT
you must win Halloween every year
Brother. I love watching your vidoes.
Cool!
William Jakespeare are you going to make one too?!? I'm subbed to you.
Dammit just make a whole suit of cool looking armor
This would be amazing for making fallout power armor costumes, if it doesn't get too heavy. It could be easier from a weight standpoint to use something like thin 6061 aluminum.
This is gonna be the guy who is indestructible and will be a s hero
Probably going to be Hacksmith before me
That looks so cool! Now I want to make my own one...
как всегда, всё на высшем уровне -в ваших руках металл гнется, как пластилин!
not sure if this will work with this metal but you can use a jeweler's saw to cut curves but yes it takes longer then the cutting wheel but it dose come out smoother
Hey! Super cool helmet!
Quick question: Can you see well with the mask on? Even with the lights on?

I would say that being on a stage in the dark is a little too much. If it were me, I would come on the stage with the lights, and then remove the faceplates.
If this guy has kids they're set for every Halloween.
Thank you for making REALLY good how to videos. I plan to make most of what you show. Thanks
OMG i watched just like three Videos and my mind is blown you are like the best man i wish you a lot of success because you deserve it 👍
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed the videos!
it's cool to see how good you are at making functional metal helmets, please make an Ironman helmet so that you can pair it with your gauntlet lol
Awesome I'm wondering do you take request? I'd like to make a Nabu Helmet that Dr.Fate wears in the comics
Dude I wish I could make this stuff, it is so badass
also, I'm sure someone has said this but I would love to see a chozodian Varia suit helmet from Metroid prime but I digress your work is spectacular
awesome video! i would really wish you did a whole suit of knights armor
well if a zombie apocalypse happens all you need is that suit
I wonder if you could mix the Skull mask with this variant and turn it into the "Bionic Skull" helmet!
Great Job, Dave
you should make a full body armor like iron man and then showcase it in a video! that would be awesome! ive recently seen your channel and your work is amazing!
So you put the Union Jack in the helmet to make it more comfortable? Cool
You make it seem so simple. Great job!
I here by declare you, The New Militia Super Hero, *Quantum*
i want to be a bionicle when i grow up
That's what i call a work of art dude!
Nice job i enjoy!! Thanks for share!
Love to see shredder's (TMNT) armor. Or a samurai/dragoon armor.
hey david you should continue this and do a chest piece ad back piece(different videos tho)
has a fallout 4 mechanist armor look to it. Would be good for cosplay.............well everything he makes is great for any event.
Looks a lot like a Medieval Iron Man helmet. Pretty sweet tho
He should make a whole bionic armor suit
You should make one out of Titanium that can windstand atleast 9mm bullets and that is fighting capable (articulation and toughness to punch)
build the full armor and join the avengers
The avengers aren't real
@@slingshotfilms8337r/whoooshhh
I always love your videos, very impressive metal smithing keep up the good work :)
