Greaves forging -FAST and EASY

- This short video is ilustrating the process of forging a pair of greaves, as a part of full Italian export gothic legs from the second half of XV century . Next steps will be fitting the hinges and the upper leg, grinding, sanding , rolling the edges, and polishing - not included this time.
Don't try this at home!

Brilliant work brother, you got a sub from me, God keep you and bless your work!
Very nice build ! Well done sir!
Thank you!
looks great. How do I put pin in for the leg attachment?
Hi, I struggled with making some case greaves of my own and I was hoping youd be willing to do a short tutorial on how to template for greaves?
I'm making a pair of tongs like that, gripping armour is tricky.
If the armor follows perfectly the body, where does the padding go ?
As you are using thin sheets of metal (i know that historical armors were as thin as possible to make them lighter while still making them protective engouth) if the wearers takes a bad hit on the leg, if the armor caves in, it might injure and wound him ... so how does it really work ?
Well fitted parts of armour, like legs and especially greaves , don't require any padding beside thick woolen hoses. For the rest of the body, under a well developed suit of late medieval armour only a thin layer is required, with an exception for a helmet- as they used to be much more padded . Nowdays it's the opposite, very loosely fitted armour and very thick padding seems to be most popular among sport fighters. That's why they don't look or work properly.
Nice job! Did you make the "well made model"? How did you make it? Thanks for sharing and please keep the nice work! Congrats
Thank you! The well made model was made and provided by customer.
OK, how much for greaves? Considering, they are "fast and easy" :D
Lukáš Kopecký , you can choose between fast and easy but costly, slow and difficult and pricey , fast and easy and not quite looking like greaves ;)
Спасибо. Интересное видео.
Мне только одно не понятно - почему так мало просмотров и так мало подписчиков у канала.
Thank you!
I don’t know why, I think it’s because this is a very niche subject and for majority of people watching this is very boring :)
what happened to your beard!?
Ha ha , just a little hotter weather and it run away.
I simply shave every year :)
