- This is part II of the series where I will show some of the basics involved in making a gothic style gauntlet.
As with the first one, please excuse my voice, I had a cold when I recorded this and was struggling a bit.
This video deals with the lames that attach to the wrist plate we roughed out in the previous film. It's a bit longer than the previous one, I am trying to keep things to about 10 minute videos, but this one clearly goes past that as I attempt to give the subject matter the attention it deserves.
I hope that this is useful to you as you look to understand how these things were made, obviously this is based on my own experiences and what I was superbly taught by Dave at White Rose Armouries. I cannot say for sure how they were done in the past, but it may have been similar as we end up with similar markings in the metal.
You are like the Bob Ross of armourers.
Lol, that's likely the funniest things I've heard all day and I think it's a compliment, I'll take it ;)
You have a very Bob Ross way of explqining this all, i love it
I'll take it as a compliment :)
I'm hoping to start making armor before too long and I must say that these videos you're making are incredibly valuable!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks ever so much. Videos are great and when I started about the only person making them was Eric Dube (who is still making them). There's no substitute however for being able to work with a person face to face. I'd recommend trying to hook up with someone local to you that already makes armour, they're out there. Best of luck.
Thank you, now I understand the articulations of the wrist pieces really helpful.
Most underrated channel on RUclips.
thanks very much, I continue to spread the word. But, judging from my ten year old daughter's youtube viewing I need to do more makeup tutorials ;)
I usually dish my lames over my bowling pin shaped T-stake that has an end like a horisontal ball stake. Using a soft well worn wooden mallet. Hardly any strike marks visible at all and you can get the curvature in the same process with great control.
You just made my life so much easier so thank you very very much :)
cogsofdough my pleasure mate
fantastic vid very useful this will be of massive assistance for making my larp gauntlet keep posting
Really pleased to hear it's useful. It takes a bit of fine tuning and experience that the videos can't give, but it should give a solid starter for ten. Best of luck mate.
The fingers seem really cool on one of your slideshow videos of building a gauntlet, are you gonna show us how to make these individual finger parts as well? You're probably the only one on youtube were I've found actual answers to my question in making armor, great work man keep it up.
Thanks very much, I clearly have too much time on my hands.
I will do one on the fingers. I'm having a little experiment at the moment with the finger gadlings and lames as I want to increase what I can offer, once I've done that I will get something together. :)
So did I get this right - At 15:47 You are assembling the Lames in a way that naturally instills a droop to the gauntlet? That does cause a slight gapping in the extended (straight) hand, right? Thanks a lot!
The slight curve in the lames helps to cover the gap. if you don't have the curve you can't get them close enough and the gap becomes unsightly pretty quickly.
I’m trying to make some armour from the Romance of Alexander manuscript and was wondering where would I️ get a raising stake
Where abouts are you based mate?
Do the lames have sliding rivets? I've tried to find info on it but I can't find anything
Rusty, in the end they do, I tend to line everything up on a hole for the nuts and bolts, then when the creasing/fluting is finished and I am happy that everything is set I add the slot for the sliding rivet.
@@GreenleafWorkshop Great, thank you, your videos have been very helpful
