- With the context of our project established we begin gathering the resources to make our first piece of armor. A set of 15th Century Milanese gauntlets!
Using extant pieces, manuscript image, contemporary artwork and even a reliquary of Charles the Bold, we gather all the originals source material we need to design our gauntlets. Along the way we also discover a few interesting facts about Italian gauntlets in the 15th Century including how they evolved and a few stylistic differences that are unique to our project.

GAUNTLETS ITALIAN EXPORT/FLEMISH STYLE
Date: (1460 - 1470)
Make: Italian, Milanese
Style: Milanese Export/Flemish
This series will follow the step by step journey as we design, build and problem solve through making a set of Gauntlets for our larger Infantry Harness project.
Every quality build starts with quality research and this first episode shows the collection of resources and some of the ways to find original inspiration for an armor making project.
Using our context we were able to identify the details of the originals that aligned with the correct date, region and cohesion we require. With originals sourced, we can then select those that will serve as the basis for the patterns we will then trace onto steel.

for the Americans such as myself the 1.2mm steel sheet it's an 18-gauge steel sheet
I'm surprised there aren't nearly as many views as it deserves. You're doing a great job, forging is probably really hard.
Can't wait for you to cover arm harness. It's a lot trickier for me to notice key features for it (besides the asymmetrical pauldrons or fluting) especially since there's quite a bit of variation between individual soldiers in reference artwork.
The quality of the videos are so high especially for a channel as small as yours.
Great video quality, good content, competent host. Truly impressed and looking forward to perusing the rest of your videos! Liked, subscribed, bell thing, and sharing!
Well-put together video, Joel! Look forward to seeing how this journey unfolds.
bravo
Keep up the good work the channel will take off! Your crew is great!
Awesome stuff once again , bring it on.
so happy to see this begin. forge on. god bless.
All these juicy design details are making my hammer hand itch.
Good work!
Hey neat first comment I think here
Hej! I believe that the armour on horse shown at 3:37 is German, not Flemish at all.
It wasn’t common for German armor to have a strap connecting the breastplate to the placard. They tended towards rivets. The asymmetric pauldrons with reinforcement plates are also a sign of Italian or Flemish style harnesses.
