One of my viewers was asking about time and how long it takes to create a helmet. Building a viking helmet of this type takes around 40-45 hours from start to finish. Some of the process is actually quite quick so today I show you a video in real time on how I dish a couple helmet plates and also show you some of the specialized tools I use to create custom costume armour. This is 18 ga mild steel (0.048”) and is intended for costume use only.
In this series I will show the step by process of making a viking inspired helm. Join me in the shop as I layout the initial pattern on sheet metal and cut the pieces to shape. This is an excellent beginner armor project as building a helmet of this design is quite simple. I will be using brass, mild steel and showing all the armor techniques of a professional armorsmith in this series.

Do you need a hand I can help you :D
Can that metal stop pallet bullets ??????
not sure if you mention it in another video but worth noting that both before and after dishing, the three corners are all 90 degrees
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!!
Thanks
So cool! Continue like that👍🤘
Excellent content.
Thanks!
So I’m new to blacksmithing and I was interested in what would be a good way to start in general not necessarily making armor but how to develop skills and get familiar with the craft
Practice, practice, practice. Decide what you want to make and then just do it. And then do it again because your first one will be low quality and the second will take half the time and be better.
Drawbridge Props & Armoury thank you for answering sorry i didn’t see it. Life has been kinda crazy.
@@DrawbridgeProps I’m in the same boat as him, what would you say are the only tools you need to get started?
Start easy and light don't pick a huge project like a sword because you will get bored after a month. (Trust me on this one, been there.)
I highly recommend black bear forge yt channel he is doing a lot of easy guides for theese kind of things like wall hooks candle holders and stuff.
Hope i helped even tho i am a year too late :D
WOW. Why doesn't this guy have more viewers. So glad I found this. I love the Armoring tips and tools. Are you a professional prop/armor maker?
Thanks! I’m a professional prop builder although I’m not working as much as I used to as I am being way more selective about my jobs in recent years. Trying to enjoy being semi retired.
Guy please try to make the Hounds helmet from Game of Thrones.
There is a guy called Thak Ironworks who made it.
love the music too!🤟
Oh man! Bring it on!
Is there a video of the helmet coming together?
What gauge?
where can i get a ball dolly like the one you have, great idea on the forming bowls. cool video, learned a few things thanks.
I made mine. But there are some around for sale. Check the ‘united league or Armourers’ Facebook group.
I've rounded an smoothed a rail road spike, a sledgehammer, even fire extinguisher. Cheers happy crafting.
Your amazing!!! Thank you!!! Are you accepting any apprenticeships? I want to make this my life's work, which won't be work at all but a joy to do every day. Also great emf protection as well. As you have surely noticed the frequencies are rising around us all. Covid my ass. More like Mila meter wave length wifi frequencies rising.
Hey, I love your vids, how do you design the patterns for the pannels, I am struggling with my helmet?
I use a soft tape measure to measure along the outside of the bands from center top to the mid line of the band that runs horizontal around the head. Then I measure the length of the horizontal band and divide by 4. I draw a triangle with those measurements and then add a bit of a curve to the pattern. I usually cut the first one out a bit wide and trim back after it is shaped.
What size ball bearing is your ball stake and where did you get it? I made one out of a 4" ball bearing but that was the biggest I could find. Beautiful work bruh! Cheers from Tsawwassen BC!
Where's other video???
Came for the armor. Stayed for the music. What song at like 3 minutes... The guitar's
Found it. ruclips.net/video/C8bIqXUT3jk/видео.html
Where to buy drawings
Not just better props than Rings of Power. Better writing & storytelling too. Bezos should be jealous.
The video is great nice positive and encouraging. Can I ask a couple of questions, if you have any videos along the lines of leather inner mits for plate gloves or do you take the method of pre-made leather gloves (rigger gloves maybe) and stitch/tie to the gloves. Also do you have predefined metal types and thickness for different historical eras. Thankyou
Thanks Chad, I’ve both made leather gloves and used store bought ones. Almost all armoured hand protection has a layer of leather that is riveted or sewn to the plates. It’s the extra layer that gets stitched to the glove. This makes for mor convenient replacement and more padding on the back of the hand. Metal for hands is often quite light and made from spring steel that is hardened. 20-22ga is very typical.
Just btw: Do you know of any viable alternative to those cleco fasteners? Because in central europe, it's really hard to get your hands on something like a 4.8mm rivet or round steel. 5mm on the other hand is really easy to get. There's absolutely no chance of getting anything here, that fits imperial units.
What size rivets do you commonly use? 5 mm 4 mm, 2.5mm ? I can drill some holes and test my clecos to see if the imperial clecos hold in metric holes.
Also yardstore.com (an American manufacturer) claims to make metric clecos.
@@DrawbridgeProps usually 3mm and 5mm.
I know this question depends on location, but how do you generally get your steel? I usually have to end up ordering because all the hardware stores have only 16 guage mild (I need 14).
I order from a metal alloy supplier. 4’x8’ sheets at a time.
Very nice and thank you for showing....what gauge steel was it and it was mild steel too?
Yes
So, 20 gauge?
Thanks for the video!
You said this was 18ga mild steel, for costume only.
What would you use for protective armor? Where can I find resources on the heat treating process?
1.5 millimeters or more is pretty much necessary for protective midevil style armor-
I use 2 millimeter for thick for helmets.
Awesome work.... Thickness of sheet??????
18 ga steel which is costume grade. 0.048”
What kind of tank did you cut the bottom off of to make your dishing tool?
+Robert kercher I believe they were oxygen. But it was many years ago so I could be wrong. I went to local gas refilling place and they gave me old tanks for free. I remember being very concerned about cutting the tanks and having them explode. I opened the values and then slowly drilled a hole in the side to make sure they were empty. Then I cut them with a plasma cutter. Pretty easy job really.
@@DrawbridgeProps thanks a bunch, I guessed that is were you got them, found a place here in Washington. They seemed happy to see them leave. Been a metal worker for a long time mostly swords and leather armor. Your videos have been very helpful in setting up my shop. Thanks again. If you are ever in Washington during the beginning of august stop by the midsummer renaissance fair you can find us at the Runesmith booth.
Robert kercher thanks for the invite!! I will definitely hit you up the next time I am down.
wow, I have never seen anyone do that good of a planishing job with a leather mallet....is that normal? (I know nothing other than what I see in videos)
That is a pretty rough planish. If I was sanding it out I would have to use a planishing Hammer.
Hello, I know in the description you say 18 gauge mild steel, but could you please tell me what kind of steel it is and where you got it? Is the steel higher carbon content?
This cold rolled mild steel. Not high carbon.
im interested in making my own armor how much does all this equipment cost in total and they have classes for blacksmithing correct
I built and purchased my equipment over many years
@@DrawbridgeProps oh cool thats nice to know man thx i hope to build my own someday
@@hallowedscorpion3884 it is a great hobby!
@@DrawbridgeProps i bet it is
Just wondering where I can buy the bowl shaped anvil from?
Just make a dishing stump out of a… stump.
@@snuucreations1202 don’t have any stumps nearby and no means to cut down any decent size tree.
So actual thicker steel or iron takes more time to dish?
Yes because its more material to move
Yes. When I use Thicker steel I heat with a torch.
This is roughly 1.2 mm. I made a viking helmet out of 1.8 mm steel a while ago, using simillar techniques. Took about 7-8 times as long to dish in the rough and VERY LONG to planish and polish
+Lukas Jacobs Planishing and polishing takes forever!!
Yes, definitely. Our shop uses a repurposed soil tamping hammer which can cut down the time a ton - dishing 1.6+mm is unreal tough without a torch or forge otherwise.
Show
what gauge steel was that, if you don't mind?
0.048” or 18 ga.
Thanks for responding! I suppose it could still be done with 14 gauge?
@@Steve-ps6qw my pattern can easily be done in 14ga. You could go up to 12 gauge if you really wanted to! etsy.me/2UeWHqj
The plates look very thin, I don't know anything about armours but I thought they were way thicker. Is it a functional armour or just an ornamental one
This is a costume Helmet. Real helmets were thicker and made with carbon steel not mild steel.
@@DrawbridgeProps thanks, btw, you did a great job
Nice video as always but please dont use premiere again its just upsetting because i see you made a new video and click on it but have to wait more time
Thanks for that feedback. Should I just premiere it with less notice so then you can watch and interact with me live?
@@DrawbridgeProps well personally i dont feel like premiere is necessary but if you want to use it just make it like you said with live interaction, anyway your stuff still remains impressive
Technically the helmet shown in the thumbnail is a gjermundbu-style vikinghelmet and not what i call medeival helmet, becourse it is pre 11th century and the vikingage ended in 1066 at the battle of stamford bridge, and during that time that style of helmet was out of use to the benefit of the more lighter norman conical helmet. nice biuld anyway.
True! Medieval armor has better SEO than Viking armor.
Technically this video is amazing so much.
Great work there buddy! I was wondering if you can make a helmet for me and how much?
Thanks. I don’t take commissions.
Fai vedere tutti i tipi di elmi in costruzione tranne quello del legionario romano il tipo di elmo che piace a me forse nessuno e capace di farlo? così pare😏
