Thanks appreciate it! I have some other projects on the go, but haven't been filming as much. If there's enough interest though, I may get the camera out again 😁👍
I'd love to, but unfortunately the paper I used to make these templates got wrecked in my shop when I was cleaning up. That said, at the beginning of the video you can take a look at the general shape of the templates and extrapolate from there. In order to get the best fit for you, it's always best to design a template that's tailored directly to the wearer. So if you're able to use what I showed in the video and play around with some designs of your own, I think you could pull it off no problem! :)
any tips on making a own mask? I have to maks a mask for a assignment. and i was thinking about making a mask. I really would like to make a metal mask. but i dont have any experience and maybe it is to big of a step. but any tips would be welcome
That's awesome! If you're looking to make a metal mask, you can pick up some mild steel sheets (I'd recommend 22 or 20 gauge if you're just starting out), get yourself a basic ball peen hammer, a pair of tin snips, some basic files, and an anvil (this could just be a flat steel surface, or even wood) and then just start working on some template designs. Take your time with the templates, that's one of the most crucial parts of making armour of any kind. You can make paper templates to see how things fit together and then transfer your designs to the sheet steel (I just use a sharpie marker to do this). Then start cutting everything out (be careful for sharp edges obviously) then use the files to clean everything up and then start hammering out the shape of the mask. It's going to take some practice, but in the end it's easier than it looks. For a nice finished look, you can get a bunch of different grits of sandpaper to give the finished piece a nice satin or polished look. Good luck and have fun!
@@MAKE__IT thank you for this descriptive explanation. this is definitely gonna help allot, first gonna see if we might have some of the things already in the garage.
The pattern is all hand drawn on paper. Unfortunately I don't have it in a digital format. However, if you're looking to use this as inspiration, I'd recommend doing some measurements of your head and face to make sure the mask will fit well for the proportions of your face. Plate armour is tricky for patterns because there isn't generally a one size fits all solution.
Wow! This is unbelievable!
Thanks! Glad you like it :)
@@MAKE__ITYour channel is very good I hope you do well :D

What brand of belt sander do you use and would you recommend the one you have.
The belt sander I have is made by Wen, and it's decent as a hobby tool (and pretty inexpensive).
What type of steel are you using?
This was made with 18 gauge mild steel.
It's look some like Ultron
Do you have a pattern for this?
The pattern is all hand drawn on paper. Unfortunately I don't have it in a digital format.

Why don't you show how it's look on face.
This is a three part series. Please feel free to watch part 2 and 3 where you'll see me wearing it in its complete form. 😁👍
