Making a Closed Sallet - Part 2

Welding! Lots of it in this episode of building a closed sallet. I finish planishing the other half of the skull, put a ridge on both sides, and weld the two together. Then I weld on the sides and tail of the sallet so that it gets that nice sallet-y shape. Then I grind off all the welds because we can't have any of that.

Sick video's man! Could you maybe make a video on how to make a battleready shield? Keep up the good work.

[@LivingManuscript]

Thanks! I would like to make a shield sometime, maybe some sort of 15th century one. I definitely will make a video when I do!

You're in for a hell of an oof once this is done all the way

[@gariaveria5433]

How do you make it come out so rounded? My domes always come to a prominent peak when they butt up

Do you use fluxk core mig welder?

How much would it cost

[@LivingManuscript]

I'm selling this one for about $300. Though I have to admit, in hindsight it might be worth a little more. I'm not sure haha

[@flowingsyrupproductions8874]

Living Manuscript there go my dreams of having an accurate helmet

[@LivingManuscript]

In fairness, this particular helmet is pretty complicated because there are a lot of moving parts. Something simpler would go for less, usually. Unless I suddenly get much better haha

[@thexaviousdoesthings568]

You also gotta keep in mind accuracy does cost more, otherwise there's a lot of things that can be done to cut down on build time and difficulty at cost of accuracy. I'd say $300 is an exceptionally good cost considering the design.

[@toyworksstudios2280]

Rpg_Time I've seen ones that look like this that go for $100-$150. They might not be as accurate but their pretty sick.

[@user-lx7ou4ek2s]

Hello, what is the thickness of the metal, mm?

[@LivingManuscript]

@@user-lx7ou4ek2s if I recall correctly, the skull is 2mm, and everything else is 1.5mm. That's likely thicker than was truly necessary for most uses though!

[@shakaen3655]

I enjoy your videos but the music is too loud when you talk.

[@LivingManuscript]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not good enough at audio design to tell how it will sound to everyone else yet, so this gives me something to work off 🙂
