    Alec, if ever you want to glue paper to metal again, the easiest way to get it off without great inconvenience is a blowtorch. The high temperatures will burn the glue and paper long before any deformation will take place. Love from Germany, I hugely enjoy your videos.

      Or forge for bulk+ a more even heat perhaps? Unless it's galvanised, in which case rip

      Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) can be softened, if not removed entirely, by soaking it with acetone, and then buffing it with scotch brite. Furthermore, it is possible to use acetone to transfer the lines from the printed paper to the sheet metal.

    Alec! Love the content, especially love you learning new skills. For CA glue (Superglue), Acetone, not alcohol to break it down. Or just good old heat. The glue is just cyanoacrylate, which is just a simple plastic. Heat releases it (machinist's trick), or just burns it away. Spend time on metal work, not frustrating glue clean up. Happy hammering!

  • @gncustoms
    @gncustoms 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the build! I know it’s too late now but here are some tips for affixing paper templates and removing them. First using a spray adhesive is much better than super glue. Most spray adhesive have direction for a temporary bonds. It holds well during the cutting but will peal off after with no problem. Elmers has a spray adhesive that works well. The glue can be cleaned up with just a little acetone then. If you need to remove super glued paper either soak in acetone or burn it off with a torch. If burning though make sure to do it outdoors so you don’t breath in the fumes. I’m excited to see this armor making series!

    Hey Alec that looks great! Sorry I think my last comment bugged somehow, but I really liked this video and david's tutorial too. Also there's two small channels that helped me to make my gauntlet: "Garage Knight" and "Greenleaf workshop". Garage Knight is a very small channel but the gauntlet video gave me great tips. Greenleaf workshop is quite small too, but has very detailed tutorial about gothic gauntlet with metal shaping tips. Might want to check it out! Keep doing the great work!

Espacialy when you work with even more expensiv materials then sheet metal like leather.

    For breaking down super glue, try using acetone. Just be careful, that stuff will get you a lil bit buzzed if you don't have good ventilation.

    Fantastic work mate! Your sheet metalwork has definitely improved tenfold! Keep up the great work!

    Alec: has a workshop full of hammers in every size and shape you can imagine.
    Also Alec: uses the back end of an old brush to hammer his metal into place.

    I've been waiting so many years for you to start making armour! 😃😃😃

    Love the fact that you are venturing out into armoring. After this gauntlet is done, how about one with some of that Steele flare made with damascus patterned sheet metal?

    Fantastic video! I finally have something useful to share. I do some sheet metal work as a hobby, my favourite home made tool is the magnetic hold down board I created. You take a wood board, screw on some cheap rectangular magnet tool holding bars and then cover it with a thin sheet of aluminum. You can now take any thin metal part and stick it right on there and grind on it with confidence. Was handy when I made Thor's hammer. Hope you find this useful...and hope it wasn't mentioned in the 1377 comments below that I did not bother to read through!

    Green leaf armory is another good place if you want to learn more about intro to armoring. Also this is awesome to watch the start of new skills

    Finally! Alec Steele becoming a Steele Man!
    I wanna see David Guyton design the suit, Alec make the Armor Suit, and Hacksmith Industries do the electronics. Lol.
