One of my viewers was asking about time and how long it takes to create a helmet. A viking helmet of this types is 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 armour. This is 18 ga mild steel (0.048”) and is intended for costume use only.
A detailed look at the attachment of maille armor as a mantle or skirt for the bottom of a viking helmet. Using 16 ga titanium rings I show you a step by step tutorial on how to sew ring armour to fabric. The armor building process is time consuming for diy armour makers and I hope you enjoy this series.
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.

#viking #maille #chainmail
Let me know what you guys what me to build next!!
Nice tutorial.
Well i must say i would love to see some lannister armor to go with the helmet and more armor builds in general
Armour (of any kind) would be awsome!
I definitely want to do more game of thrones armour!!
More armour coming your way! Thanks for the comment!
Can you do like, something with riveted maille?
Fabric helps to not get hair stuck in mails ;d and also makes better protection from blunt attacks
Butted mail... 🤢🤮
I think you mean period correct maille.
ok neat. I just did a whip stitch because its faster to take apart again to clean rust and sweaty cloth separately, but this might be stronger.
Great tutorial! Thank You for uploading!
You’re welcome
thanks for your video! wondering a couple things:
-do you ever have issues with the thread falling out of the rings? I assume the rings you're sewing have to be pretty airtight? also wondering about the type/thickness of thread & what size harness needle you're using.
-you mention that you stitch each ring individually rather than stitching right down the line. wondering why that is?
Those rings are titanium and it’s very easy to get them to butt together with pressure so that the ends are both flush and pressing towards one another. It’s not that easy to do with most wires. It’s a button thread and on different projects I use different threads. This is a great versatile thread that is amazing for stitching maille: amzn.to/3QBGqsC I have assorted needles amzn.to/3n2VZvA I like the look of the individual stitching.
@@DrawbridgeProps thanks for you tips and help! Currently self-teaching and it is much appreciated
I see you're doing this with bunted rings, is there any concern with the thread working its way between that gap, or do you simply chock that up to future normal maintenance? I've done a lot of mailleing, but haven't done anything in the way of attaching fabric because I was trying to solve just that issue. I'd thought about soldering / spot welding them together, but that's another issue. Great vids btw!
weird to me that those who do butted go all butted... Even rivited chainmail is mostly solid links.. only rivit the ones having to link together..
@@Ulfric42 Yeah, but that requires either punching them out of sheet metal, or welding/ soldering the ends together first.
What kind of thread are you using? Thanks!
If you had stiched the lower rows the stitching would he better protected from wear as opposed to the very putter edge.
Great idea.
Thanks sorry for the bad spelling watching your video showed me how though. Thank you very much. I made a pouches for my 100 mini 1 gram silver bars ;)
If your gona use that chain mail for any thing but wearing it will but great. Stitching
I've actually thought of making a jacket with chainmail sewn into it and the cloth of the jacket being padded like a gambeson.
That would be great but also hard to wash.
@@DrawbridgeProps they didn’t wash stuff back then lol
@@derekkat7693 Yes, they absolutely did. You should probably read a book.
Parabéns, o seu trabalho é fantástico
+Nicolas Rogerio :)
First time here, nice content and great music.
Thanks!
Very useful thanks so much
Nice.... I once did a tunic in a similar way, but if you want to save some effort you can start the same way, then do invisable capet stitch by passing the neadle between the layers of fabric to the next point and repeat as you did so you don't have to cut each one.
Thanks for that!! Hope you’re having a great summer !
thats butted mail.
this is fake armor.
It’s movie costume armour.
It is not spelled 'maille' but simply 'mail.'
All armour has French names. Maille is appropriate. or ring armour if you’re English.
Both is good
I'll be sure to inform the historians at once! They've been doing it wrong for centuries, some mook on RUclips said so.
