@@ilikepotatoes1345 there are some rounded metal handles found in allamanni graves. But they could have been bent by the collapse of the grave

@@tailorofsteel2783 It's a shame that there is no real evidence for lenticular/convex shields, it's a really cool looking design. Your's turned out amazing by the way, awesome job man!

@@tailorofsteel2783 If I could also ask while I'm at it (figured someone like you could perhaps know), would flat/straight round shields only be made with the center/boss grip or would there also be ones made with strap grips (while still having a metal boss in the front) in the early medieval period? I'm asking because I'm sort of working on an impression of a frankish cavalryman/proto-knight from late 10th century and I'm sort of indecisive between the two and don't neccesarily have that much knowledge in this field.

@@ilikepotatoes1345 i dont quite know about round shields, but there wehere some Norman style shields like this.

@@ehow00 thanks that you believe in me

@@kasimckatze6052 weil der stahl aus dem die Spitze gemacht ist zu wenig Kohlenstoff Anteil hat um sie zu Härten und ich nicht vor habe sie im Kampf zu benutzen oder zu schärfen.

What do yoj want to know?

​@@tailorofsteel2783Hello, I need to know the dimensions of the paper you used to make the sketch for the metal. Also, I'd like to ask what software you used to model it, what material it is, and how much it will cost me.

@@dompel1024 I didnt use any Software. I just eyeballed it and then hammered it until it fit. Its 2mm steel and if its not for sale but if i had to sell it then not for less then 3000€

Schön zu hören, dass ich dich inspirieren konnte. Gruß zurück aus Oberfranken.

@@tattered08 thanks, dont forget to Check out my Instagram for the really sweet stuff.

@@toolthoughts thanks

The next one is going to be brass and blued steel, stay tuned and dont forget to Check out my insagram for the really good stuff

Maybe

You didnt miss it. Im not good at forgewelding and didnt want to destroy it

@@tailorofsteel2783 I forge woodworking tools and have problems welding sockets. I have taken to forging the socket separately and forge brazing the blade onto it. You can also forge weld, but I really don't like starting over. I protect the braze in the hardening cycle by wrapping it with a wet rag. The finished line of brass looks decorative. Your spear point is beautiful.

I think so, but with thinner planks I used 6mm but thats to thick.

Thats why they inventet the Nasal Helm

This was one of my first projects. Im sorry I offended you.

Norf, I would love a link to your video series of hand-making medieval helmets

You can do it.

Thank you, I did my best.

True

Thanks why dont you do it

Thank you

Thanks, im already working on the next one

Its not easy bit you can do it

Ill try to improve it in the next one

Verschweißen ist natürlich stabiler aber ja, hält es auch gut ab.

Thanks

Its always easyer together. I would be glad if I had someone helping me

Thanks

Yes thats definitely a possibility. I've actually made a Tool like this for another project but I simply had not made one for this one. So grinding was the way to go for me on this piece.

Sadly I did not use a hardenable steel for this one, since its Only for Display purposes.

Thank you

Its a Quick little project for a free evening.

Its a reproduktion of the Gammertingen Spearhead form 570AD. The shape and size are a nearly exact copy. I do not know if the material Was leftover Black or polished but it was definitely possible and not unheard of at the time.

Thanks

hi, I can make you one, just like you want it, but its not cheap you know.

@@tailorofsteel2783 so what would we be talking in Dollars Not marks Please🤝🏻💥☘️

It depends on what youre planning to use it for. For a rough forged 11" Spearhead without the central rib, ill take about 75$ +Shipping from Germany. if you need a hardened and tempered piece or a good surface Polishing it'l cost a bit more

@@tailorofsteel2783That's reasonable, 🤝🏻 It wouldn't be a Show piece " wall hanger" , I would need it useable and Hardened for boar hunting. Thanks☘️

I textet you on Instagram.

thank you, i try my best

Thanks. Im Only a beginnen blatsmith but I try my best

@@tailorofsteel2783 same as me then as not been hitting hot steel for long either, your spear head is fairly advanced stuff and impressive for someone new to this

@@andyc750 I always Seekarten new chellanges

@@tailorofsteel2783 good for you, keep challenging yourself and improving your skills

thank you im glad you like it

Great Video Man, I can Understand you well, you sound Nordic? ⚒️💥🔥🤝🏻☘️​@@tailorofsteel2783

Agreed, the spear looks great. Makes me want to break out my forge and anvil again and get to hammering. And everyone who speaks English has some kind of an accent. I'm a native speaker of English and I can understand his accent better than I can understand the accent of some other native English speakers. I think most English speaking people sort of accept and even expect that people are going to have accents and make grammatical errors. So for anyone out there who isn't a native speaker and is trying to learn English, don't worry if you get things wrong or have an accent. Very few native English speakers will care and many won't even notice.

👍 seconded. Or third.

The go on whyle youre still motivated dont let anyone stop you.

@@tailorofsteel2783 can you make the armor and weapons of Achilles
