Really inspirational to watch this. I wonder if you ever do your own design on armors or "futuristic" armors? Would be cool if you could upload if so :)
you do an excellent job !! I have taken some ideas for my work on an elf medieval armor!! (steel sculpture) It has been successful for me to see your video over and over again Thank you so much!!
What John Knapp is saying is that the plates should be arranged in a direction so as to carry a downward strike away from the wearer, rather than catch in between the plates. Though this provides less range of motion, it is the difference between a glance and a broken shoulder (ever if the strike does not penetrate the armour).
I saw a documentary, I think it was nova, where they did heat treat the plates, and that made that armor capable of absorbing enough shock to stop a bodkin arrow shot from a machine used to standardize the "shot"
I've never made Plate armor before only Chainmaille...I had the great idea to go and my some sheet metal and try. I don't have any of the tools I probably need to make it and now I find this video..I'm going to need to go study all your other videos to try and see what I'm really in for.
@sgtviktor sir i thought i have learned a lot from you through your videos,but yet another video,yet another set of skill to learn.you are a master of your art,I strive to one day be able to create as vividly as you do.thank you for so much inspiration.Be Blessed for sharing your technique
je suis tout simplement jaloux de tes talents.. continue ainsi! tu es tres inspirant! je suis a mes premieres creations, de voir de telles videos me motive enormemet a continuer, esperant un jour faire quelquechose de resemblant.
beautiful craftsmanship epically for cold steel work. i still want to learn how to do this as i do maile (chainmail) and still need to learn leather working as well. my goal is to save up and purchase a shop to sell and teach others how to make armor
J'ai essayer de faire les même épaulettes. j'ai tellement eu de misère il me manque au moins la moitié des outils nécessaire je m'arrange comme je peux mais c rien en comparer de ton travail good job

Hey man thanks so much for giving that awesome video. I have been looking for a good way to get some armor for a Renaissance fair that i am putting together. Thanks for showing me how to make it thanks you.
Hello Mr Dubé, are these armours for historical fullcontact battles? If yes, what did a full platet armor cost. gothic, 15th century, german sallet with segments in the neck. Greetings from Germany, Chris
great to see another video. I'm a big fan :) I can't watch some of your videos though because it says "this video contains content from SME and EMI, one or more of whom have blocked it in your country on copyright grounds" videos #1, #6, #7, and #12 in particular say this for me. I think it's because of the music.
I think you could form 12mm of aluminium in to that shape you did it in layers. Moreover, I think rounded rectangular 3mm aluminium plates could be made and layered to increase the thickness to 12mm. They could then be bolted in to shoulder armour like that. Their good.
Beaucoup d'armures étaient-elles forgées à froid ? Le feu était-il réservé au forgeage des pièces en elles-mêmes et aux armures raffinées des chefs de guerre ou le travail qui a été fait dans la vidéo aurait pu l'être avec du feu également sans menacer la résistance de l'armure ? Je n'y connais rien en forge, je commence seulement à m'y intéresser.
Nice work! Making my own armor too! Gonna use tungsten thin plates and more other materials, a much more flexible armor and tougher able to withstand bullets, cold and heat with many other gadgets. My own personal ultimate suit. It is going to be awesome!!
salamander337 The steel would be hardened and tempered before being used as armor.This is just made to look fancy but if it was real armor it would have another few steps getting it ready. Basically a process of heating and cooling the metal.
@@TheGoodCrusader This is all to be taken as general information. To harden steel it must be of high carbon content. Typically 0.4-0.9% carbon. Mild steel such as used in most fabrication and construction (think car bodies or steel beams) is of too low a carbon content to harden. The high carbon steel would be heated to "critical temperature" a state where the structure of the iron and carbon atoms arrange in such a way, that when cooled rapidly in water or oil, are locked into a position that does not easily become deformed. For most normal, high carbon steels, this would be a temperature range between 1450-1600 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel that is alloyed with other elements such as chromium, molybdenum or any number of things can have drastically different heat treatment requirements. The most cost effective means of heating steel to this temperature would be in an open forge of coal/charcoal. A gas fired forge or electric kiln large enough to accommodate plate armor would be very expensive.
@@TheGoodCrusader I don't think all armor was hardened, most of it probably wasn't because it would add to the cost. I think for plate armor in 2019 mild steel sheet metal would be entirely acceptable, and indeed that is most likely what the vast majority of armor is made of today, again because of the significantly higher cost of both high carbon steel as a raw material and the process of heat treatment. I personally have a gas forge and have recently become interested in armor, but there is no way I could fit the larger pieces such as a helmet or pauldrons inside it. I think an oxy-fuel torch or removing the propane forge burner to use by hand would definitely get the job done. Mild steel can handle a great amount of cold working as well, as demonstrated in this video. I would suggest that you just try! There's always a way to get where we want to go.
Hi! can I ask you a question? which tool you used to remove the marks of the hammer at minute 07:49? and what type of disc are you using at minute 07:56? Thanks too much
how long did it take you. im a fabricator and thinking about doing just this same thing. but the decision to do it will be based off how long a full set would take.. im assumeing by how much work is envolved that the shoulder part alone is a solid weeks work. would be greatful for your times.
+Matrinique and the rest. im a fabber and the use of a hammer is insane. you wnt believe this but ive wore hammers down to the point i have to go out and buy new ones. thats how often we some times after hammer things.
What are some of the advantages or disadvantages of hammering the steel into its position (video) vs pressing it into a mold? Like the hood of a vehicle. Or, pouring molten metal into a mold?
Whoops my bad, Dragon Skin not dragon scale..But yes bulletproof. Oh and I am in the SCA and we did a test with a bodkin point arrow made of ash fired from a 120lb bow and it will not go thru 16Ga steel plate such as we wear in the SCA.
These have by far been the best armour making videos :)
Love your style!
Wow! You make my favorite videos. Always a pleasure to have you share your techniques with us. You are truly inspirational.
Vous êtes un homme de savoir "fer"
Monsieur Dubé.
Tout un art.
Bravo.

Everyone agrees
Stunning workmanship. I take my hat off to you Sir
This video just made my day. Thank you for showing this.
I have to say that this is really impressive, you got an amazing handmade skill... well done mate!

Quel travail !!! Une re-création remarquable, une finition superbe, c' est une merveille ! Merci pour ce partage:) :):) Je m' abonne évidemment.
i learn so many tricks watching your vids. thanks.
Who push "this like button"? Amazing work.
Tres beau.
Merci de partager cette passion avec nous SgtViktor.
Amazin craftsmanship!
Nice work man! I’m excited to start making my own suit of armor.
absolutely beautiful
the music is SO dope. where can i find it? your craftsmanship is unmatched by anyone ive seen.. keep up the great work
Holly cow that's freakin beautiful work!
Impressive work!

Holy cow! Subbed right away, if i can ever come close to your skills one day, i'll be happy! Keep up the marvellous work mate!
great work!
tu fait vraiment de magnifique armure
Excellent video, found it really relaxing also :)
Amazing skill set.
magnifique super boulot 👍👍👍
Over 7 years later.... Perfect.
beautiful craftsmanship epically for cold steel work. i still want to learn how to do this as i do maile (chainmail) and still need to learn leather working as well. my goal is to save up and purchase a shop to sell and teach others how to make armor
Really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Spectacular! And your selection of music is too.
Awesome Work Master Regards from Chile...
Meus parabéns a armadura ficou muito bonito 👏🏻👍🏼💪🏼
You make it look so easy!
J'ai essayer de faire les même épaulettes. j'ai tellement eu de misère il me manque au moins la moitié des outils nécessaire je m'arrange comme je peux mais c rien en comparer de ton travail good job
It's really awesome!!! I wish I had such skills... and the music is also great!!!
ERIC DUBE BUILT THIS IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!
Thank u for this comment it brings back times of good.
Btw it's bunch not box.😁
i can watch this 24/7
That looks amazing!

nice job man beautiful armor !
Awesome work!

My friend, you would earn a fortune here in Brazil if you had a store here.
Amazing and beatiful !
fraking Awesome man!
Hey mate, absolutely amazing to watch you work.Also, love the led zep remix music where can i buy the music?
That was so Awesome. I wish i could make Knight armor.
Is the overlapping of those shoulder plates seems reversed?
I am digging the music actually
What do you use to blacken the inside of the armor? Is it just a glossy paint?
I think you could form 12mm of aluminium in to that shape you did it in layers. Moreover, I think rounded rectangular 3mm aluminium plates could be made and layered to increase the thickness to 12mm. They could then be bolted in to shoulder armour like that. Their good.

Ah, I can only dream of affording pauldrons like those some day.

Ultimate Man How is the progress going? I'm interested.
me gustaría saber o conocer el listado de herramientas que se requieren para realizar tu trabajo.
Merci !
it's not as common but I have seen photos of historical armours where they overlap that way.
please tell me how thick the metal is?
could you name each tool as you use it?
what do you use to paint on the inside?
잘
보고
갑니다...^^
매우~
인상적인..
what is he layer over the articulation on the left pauldron called?
i have looked around but I cant find any 18g sheet metal. whats your source?
great work
are you of the french Dube line?
salamander337 The steel would be hardened and tempered before being used as armor.This is just made to look fancy but if it was real armor it would have another few steps getting it ready. Basically a process of heating and cooling the metal.
Wouldn't that be able to be done after the construction?
They harden it after most the time have you ever tried working with hardened steel

is this made out of aluminum or somthing?
I notice you rarely ever dish anything. Is there a particular reason?

which tool you used to remove the marks of the hammer at minute 07:49? and what type of disc are you using at minute 07:56?

And bits of no quarter. A complete led zeppelin remix of greatest hits.
what's the track, sounds like buffalo soldier and hendrix mix, I like it except for the bass/dubsteb buzzing
B R A VO-SUPER BRAVO.

ye gods this takes forever! That's prolly over a 1000 hammer blows. cool stuff.

Is that 1.2mm or 1.5mm ??
Emiliana Torrini - White Rabbit (Sucker Punch VA) Is the music on this video :D
sei un mito! complimenti
does in medieval had a screw and nuts ?
Eric, what are the rivets, wich you use for helmets and arm hinges?
What are some of the advantages or disadvantages of hammering the steel into its position (video) vs pressing it into a mold? Like the hood of a vehicle. Or, pouring molten metal into a mold?
You gain the advantage of being able to end thy enemy rightly

Why did this argument start over someone asking the gauge of the metal used?
