- Hey guys,
This is a pretty unscripted video showing the method that I've come up with for court mounting medals for wear. If you have any questions please leave them below, and if you're interested in my work you can follow me @tigermedals on Facebook and Instagram. DM me on those platforms if you wish to make a purchase.
cheers,
Jayden
This is amazing craftmanship. Placed my order today. Jayden was awesome to deal with.
Very nice tutorial. I agree with the fishing line but if you ever need to use thread might I suggest DMC embroidery thread. Each strand can be separated into 6 individual threads. DMC is 100% cotton and comes in over 350 colors.
Looks great, I loved this look, but had no idea how to do it! Thank you so much for this!!
That's a true form of art. Looks super clean.
Thanks mate!
Sending thanks from Canada - did a 6 medal WW2 replica grouping commemorating my grandfather's service using your video and a little advice on overlapping. Took nearly 2 days for a first try, but really happy with the result. Your video is much appreciated!
Very nicely done! And thankyou for the tutorial,need them for my grandfather medal as a veteran in Indonesia! Here in Indonesia the only style of mounting is the original one
Happy to help mate!
Hey Mate can you Please do an over lapping Set of medals. Love this Content
Thanks mate! I've got something in the works 🙂
@@jaydenmonaghan3723 Still working on the video? This is a great tutorial and would like to see a set of 7 as well.
Hi, Is there any reason why you did not feed the ribbon through the slots in the medal bar ? Also do you not put a fabric or felt covering over the backing board. In UK, medal mounters use Buckram rather than plastic, I am going to try both - Thank you, great instructions.
Awesome video! Please upload more content like this! Much love from Texas.
Thanks for the feedback mate!
Do you do swing mounting? A video on that would be very much appreciated. Great content!
I'll try and get one out in the future! Thanks for watching!
Much appreciated. Thanks for making this available.
Superbly done, just one question....why do you tie the knots, holding the medals, on the front and not the back?
Many thanks
Dave
Awesome video
Great video Jayden. Very impressive. I'm going to give it a crack. Where can you purchase your 3mm acrylic backing boards. I see that Spotlight has a 2mm product, but not the 3mm. And your double-sided tape looks really good. Where do you source those? Many thanks.
Great work mate!
Just a quick one….. what do you do with the tag end of the fishing line? Is it still slightly visible?
Nice work Jayden 👍
Fantastic attention to detail.
hey Mate great Tutorial could you do a tutorial on 5 or more overlapping medal mounting please? showing how much over lapping required? cheers
Hey, I have footage of me doing a group of seven, just taking me a little while to get it sorted. but watch this space
This is great, still a little confused how you got the exact length correct for each medal, thank you
Hey mate,
I lined the top of my backing board up with the lines on my cutting mat and measuring down 95mm I used that second line as a reference to line up the bottom of the medal. I mark for the holes with a marker and then drill. That way when I wrap the board in ribbon I can just use a needle to find the hole and line the medals up with that hole, because I've already figured out the length right at the beginning. I try and set myself up right at the start to make sure I don't have to fiddle around once the ribbon and medals get involved in the process.
Thanks for watching!
Interesting video, lots of skill involved. I’ve been mounting my own medals, plus some friends, for a while now and used the clear thread to tie the medals down but I found it loosened off somehow no matter how I tied it. Is there a technique that is better for this type of thread? It’s a little difficult to follow what you’re doing as it’s sped up. Love your work though, many thanks.
Clear thread sucks for medals I’ve found. Just because of the thickness of the thread the tension sucks. Clear fishing line works like magic you can tighten it extremely tight and the medals won’t budge/
Immaculate work mate!
Great vid. What diameter drill bit are you using?
Will you please do a similar video showing how you mount more than 6 medals
Love your work mate, can you please tell me how clasps are fixed and what’s the overlap for 6 gongs
Cheers
I've just done mine.
The trick with overlaps is to remember that the left hand medal ribbon (as you look at it) will be fully visible and the rest only partially visible.
Therefore, temporarily lay the left ribbon in place on the backing board and measure how much board you have left, preferably using a small increment like millimetres.
Divide the length of remaining backing board by the number of medals you have left, and that tells you how much of each remaining ribbon will be showing.
I find it REALLY helps to mark these distances out with a ruler on a piece of paper that you lay the perspex over whilst you're doing a "dry-run" setup of the widths.
Hope that helps.
What do use on the edges to hide the plastic please
Whats the size of the backing board that you use?
Full-sized medal backing is always 75mm in height. For medals equal to or less than 5, the backing is the width of the ribbons butted edge to edge. For 6+ medal groups the width is determined by the number of medals. 6 = 165mm, 7 = 170mm, 8 = 175mm and so on. the measurements can be found in the Army Dress Manual which is downloadable for free
Excellent work, I would like to learn this skill, would you have any step by step videos for purchase or point me to someone. I'm in Canada.
Thank you.
Don
I've just had mine re mounted after a poor Job then remembered I'll have the new queen's platinum jubilee medal shortly so should have waited lol
Can you use a regular ribbon bar since I am using 2 medals for a school project about ww1 since I don’t have a brooch for the medals
How about loose medal mounting ? Can you show loose medal mounting as well .
What are the dimensions of the board for 5 medals
Can you show how to attach the pin brooch?
These look incredible, but I couldn't bare the risk of posting my great uncles originals.
Very tidy work mate,,,,, I'm holding off with mine for now, as its almost certain we will get a coronation medal next year for the the new King,,,, King Charles
Hi mate! I'm getting some materials to make some medals replica so this helped!
This is like watching a suregry, the carftmanship is 5 star standard, especially the triangulation of #3 & #4... This makes my eyes tearful.
where did you get the long length of ribbon from?
Excellent workmanship mate, where do you purchase the replica medals and ribbon from?
I use a wholesaler in Glenorie NSW and one in Vic, there are a few options out there so give it a look online
Hey mate can you ship WW2 ribbon of 1939-45star
Burma star
War medal
GSM S.E Asia 1942
UN CONGO (ONUC) To India i am not able to buy them in India
Can you tell me what adhesive I can use
You do this in USA??
How to you do ones that already has a ribbon on it and original need help to mount my fathers medals he earned from Australian nation guard service during Vietnam. His medals will be going on his service uniform by his asking so I need to mount them on a uniform, Thanks
You always have to replace the ribbon when court mounting because quite simply the amount of ribbon on medals when they’re awarded is too little
How big is the board that you use
Hey mate, the height of the board is 75mm and the thickness is 3mm, the width depends on the amount of medal and the width of the ribbon
This looks like a great method. I'm in UK and we tend to use buckram backing, but will try this. What tape do you use?
I use an acid free, high tack, double sided tape. I get it from spotlight here in Australia
@@jaydenmonaghan3723 Thank you - will have a look at what we have over here.
@@paulcrowther5078 Jayden Monaghan / Have you found anyone in the UK who is mounting in perspex ? I have a bigish set that needs doing
@@johnwaddington3952 No I haven't. Just got my QPJM so gonna give it a go myself.
You should be ironing the ribbon before mounting 👍🏻
Where do you get the pin style backings as opposed to the brooch style?
generally you can find them on ebay or from suppliers. Christies is decent if you don't want to open an account with a wholesaler
Hi,I am mounting replicas of my late fathers medals to place on his casket when his ashes are laid to rest in the family grave and I am unsure of the order he has a General Service Medal - Northern Ireland , a Long Service Good Conduct Medal, a Silver Jubilee Medal and a Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal hope you can help. Kind regards Martin
My condolences, and apologies for the late reply. The order would be the GSM, QSJM, LSGC, Pingat Jasa Malaysia
Jayden, how do you conceal the edge of the acrylic board?
its clear, so it naturally assumes the colour of the ribbon
Can you produce the same product without tape?
Hey mate, great question. There's a method where you sew the ribbon and medals to buckram. The advantage is no tape is needed, the disadvantage is that the set will wear far quicker than if modern materials were used.
Hey mate how much was this set and do you do full sets? full size miniatures and ribbon bar? cheers
Hey mate, a set of 4 costs $150 from me and includes a full-size ribbon bar at no extra cost. I can definitely do miniatures as well.
@@jaydenmonaghan3723 Thanks mate
