One of if not the best metalworkers on TH-cam, your channel is the whole reason why I got into metalworking and smithing 5 years ago. Keep up the good work!
Same here. this channel inspired me to try making some stuff in metal. I made the skull helmet and later on i made 3 masks out of metal. lately though i started trying to make masks etc on 3d program and print them out on 3dprinter. Maybe try casting some of them when summer comes. I really love the medieval fantasy stuff David makes.
Really awesome. I’ve been watching for years and have made a few of your items. Unfortunately I moved and no longer have a shop. But this will be one of the first things I’ll make when I’m no longer in an apartment. You really make sculpting metal seem approachable.
That is FREAKIN' AWESOME! When I first saw it, I was thinking of either Destro or a Roman/Greek mask from the 70's and 80's movies. How many hours did you spend on that? you did a GREAT job and I can't wait to see the finished project!
A tip for TIG welding aluminium. You need a ball end on the tungsten, not pointy end. Easy way to make the ball end is to turn up the heat and ignite the TIG on a scrap piece of aluminium, brass or copper. The tip of the tungsten will then melt into a ball.
You can make a really nice bone finish with that really pliable steel vent strip material. It's pretty thick stuff but it bends very easily. Just need using a smaller regular hammer head over a circular steel pipe section, like cutting a 2 inch ring off a tailpipe. It's a lot like planishing but there isn't a curved bottom and the ring is what you are pushing the metal with, rather than the hammer. You get these nice flat planes and specifically organic angles that have the appearance of bone dug out of the ground. I used aluminum vent elbows to make the regular face mask like you did, but I failed miserably at the nose. I had to push enough out to look like the bridge and then cut out the nasal passage. The hardest part was the flat and square section directly under the brow (using my face as a reference, so maybe everyone doesn't have that) With the nose cut down to bone, it was large enough to cover my real nose without the tip poking out from the hole. You have some great ideas I wish I had known about and I'm kicking myself watching. Fantastic work, as usual.
The second part of this video is now filmed, but I will need to do the editing, etc this weekend. Expect a new video and template on Monday (hopefully).
This is 1.6mm thick airplane aluminium, which is quite tough because of the added magnesium in the alloy. What thickness of steel did you try? Because I wonder if this could be achievable with say, 0.5mm low carbon (mild) steel perhaps? Only wondering because I think it would look awesome to finish it with gun bluing. Also, you don't happen to have a good template, that works well for steel, for a plague doctor + hat?
This would work fine with 18 or even 20 ga mild steel. The reason I couldn't get it to work is because all I have on hand is 18 ga Docol. Docol is much harder than mild steel and is more like the hardness of stainless.
the thing that I find so fascinating about this kind of art, is that it is the same procedures that the ancients used to make armor going back to the copper age somewhere around the mid-5th millennium BC (aprox: 7,000 years ago!!)
Outstanding work on that JetPack piece. The craftmanship is quality. Time was taken on this for sure. No doubt the Chads have bitched about the price... but if it was easy to create something badass then they would have already done it.. Love the work buddy. Cheers!!!
beautiful! you read my mind ;o; ive been making masks out of copper sheeting like this for a lil while, but the hammering aspect i was just guessing. thanks for video!
Good old YT algorithm showed me your video - phenomenal work. May I ask, what gauge steel you think I could use to create a face/head similar to this? All hand tools, mig/tig. It'll be for a larger full body project. Thanks!
For steel I'd probably use 18. 20 if you aren't pushing the metal out too far to thin it out. 18 is gonna require some heat to move around though. Nose is almost certainly going to need welding either way.
Nasolabial sulcus. Or nasolabial folds if you are a little less fancy about it. Bit of a mouthful, but thats what the line between the cheeks and the nose/lips are called. (The dent on your top lip is a bit more well known and called the philtrum.)
@David Goyton Thanks for a very well made, entertaining and educational video, Your craftsmanship is both inspiring and a bit intimidating ;). I have a question though, I didn't see You "anneal" Your work piece. And I would suspect that "forming" something this "extremely" would work harden it quite substantially. So that made me wonder if there is any specific reason that You don't anneal Your material here ? Doesn't it work, or don't You think it's required, or are there some other reasons ? Again thanks for sharing Your knowledge !! Best regards.
Aside from the nose, this mask doesn't actually have a lot of dramatic shape..it just appears to. Since I welded the nose on, there wasn't much to worry about there. The rest of it doesn't really need it although you can certainly do it to make your life a little easier. I am working on a video right now where I do some annealing so be on the looking for that in the coming weeks
It's possible to make it with cooper? Or brass , it so what gauge should be possible to do it since the face mask bring back memories of a shiny gold helmet with a face on it ,suddenly I wanted to give it a try ,I done couple of you work , and always keep checking the new material you come out with, once again really great work . Keep it up!
Not only love your content but love the music.. what is the genre called? Plus and chance you could post a music playlist? Thanks for the content.. you're helluva creator.
Not sure what the genre would be. I make it myself. If you go through my videos you can hear them over and over. One of the songs I made a music video for.
Hi David, I enjoyed watching you transform that sheet of aluminium. I'm looking at trying my hand at coppersmithing. I notice copper is annealed throughout the process. Does aluminium not require this? Cheers.
PART 2 IS OUT! th-cam.com/video/mhObvzffDyk/w-d-xo.html
do you do commission work?
.. Im looking for a rustless-mask to house a paper mask inbetween it, Could i please hire your services for this?
@@ONEN1NEVideoCadefdse
Do you do mask-commissions? ;3
This video is private now?
Step 1: Man up.
Step 2: Headbutt a steel plate.
Step 3: That's it.
This is the kind of stuff you would see in an art museum! Really professional looking.
David, my man... this is some flat-out INCREDIBLE work!
Thanks CrafsMan! Hope all is well in your corner of the world sir!
You could say….
He’s steaddddy craffffteeeeeennnnnn
Ay how you been crafsman?
I always love seeing how you turn basic metal plates into such unique shapes especially something so complex as a face!
Looks like a mercabian janisarry death mask very cool work
One of if not the best metalworkers on TH-cam, your channel is the whole reason why I got into metalworking and smithing 5 years ago. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that but there are LEGIONS of metalworkers here on TH-cam with more talent than I have!
Same here. this channel inspired me to try making some stuff in metal. I made the skull helmet and later on i made 3 masks out of metal.

I really love the medieval fantasy stuff David makes.
Damn, he really makes it look easier than expected.
Making it look easy is the sign of a true master.
Will you be coming back with armor and philosophy? It's such a unique and interesting series, I hope you continue it!
That series was all from a single book I wrote. I am unlikely to write another on philosophy, but if I do, I will do more videos, yes.
I’m excited to see the Roman helmet
Great work! I really like the design of Roman helmets, so am looking forward to seeing your version
Looks dope. It's great to see blacksmithing is still alive.
Awesome. You always create very original pieces. I am stoked you are using aluminum more often now too.
great to see you back at it, can't wait to see what you'll come up with
Good to see you here JD!
You will have much better luck welding with a much smaller tungsten. Awesome project! You have inspired me to make my own.😊
Really awesome. I’ve been watching for years and have made a few of your items. Unfortunately I moved and no longer have a shop. But this will be one of the first things I’ll make when I’m no longer in an apartment. You really make sculpting metal seem approachable.
Found you through Alec steel and love your videos!
Great work dude, can’t wait to give your tutorials a go when I have the time/tools 😅
this is mind blowing. I have never seen such craft i my entire life. I am glad to have watched some good content today. Very unique!
How to make a metal mask in one easy step.
(Clears throat) Step 1. Call David Guyton and ask him to make you a metal mask.
You’re welcome.
You can't weld without a few boogers 🤣🤣👏👏👍 love the mask
Roman helmet witha face all I can think of is Gladiator "Are you not entertained!!"
That is FREAKIN' AWESOME! When I first saw it, I was thinking of either Destro or a Roman/Greek mask from the 70's and 80's movies. How many hours did you spend on that? you did a GREAT job and I can't wait to see the finished project!
Thanks! I don't know how long it took me. Several hours a day for a week or so
I like that backpack ,,, how dear was '' not cheap though''.

Hey you're back!!!!! I thought you disappeared!!!!! Glad to see you're back and amazing mask reminds me of those sarcophagus in Egypt

end result is INCREDIBLE. wow!! nice job man

Alright, time to become Destro.
TYSM!!! Will use this to make an Saint Seiya's OC amazon
Super Fantastic piece 👏👏👏

Another awesome project, can't wait for the Roman helmet vid. 🤘
First, thats incredible! I was so exited about how you did the nose and then disapointed when I saw how😅 Stil a Masterpiece! Keep up the great work👍
Impressive mask! It is truly amazing that simple piece of metal sheet became such complex face of man.
Ficou linda! Você é um artista nato!
great music choice
reminds me of that one mask from a crusade movie where a king hid his leprosy with one. i can't remember to save my life rn
You are very talented, I love metal masks and this makes it very easy for me to understand. Thank you :)
Outstanding work on that JetPack piece. The craftmanship is quality. Time was taken on this for sure. No doubt the Chads have bitched about the price... but if it was easy to create something badass then they would have already done it.. Love the work buddy. Cheers!!!
Destro's mask! Great!
Thanks for sharing your skills with us my friend.
Learning lots from your videos.👍🐺👍
beautiful! you read my mind ;o; ive been making masks out of copper sheeting like this for a lil while, but the hammering aspect i was just guessing. thanks for video!
Awesome creation y mask this is
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and so glad i did, just wow.
Just subbed as well.
Awesome welcome aboard! You'll find that metalworking is a lot easier than you might think at first.
all i can think of is Baldwin IV -- you did a great job!
So that's how Destro face was made, who knew. #Cobra!!!!!
This video came out a week ago and I just got the notification. Been subscribed for years
I KNEW IT! It looked too much like the Teutoburg found face mask!
Your metal mask look like 3D art mask great video
Amazing job bro. I like your style man
Cool. Love the design. Hey, why not try making a ballistic mask of your own design. Just a thought. Great vid once again.
This is wicked, I am curious did you cut off the two pieces nose pieces or weld them together with the new piece you attached to it?
In this case I both cut and welded, thinking it would be easier. In later masks I simply welded down the nose and filed it down.
That is so damn cool! Great work David!
the mask is like the face of the blasphemous protagonist helmet
Nice tattoo! I recognize that W from somewhere...😉
“Working the cheek from the inside”
lol quality
hahaha
That is a masterpiece
You are a true artist and craftsman
Good old YT algorithm showed me your video - phenomenal work. May I ask, what gauge steel you think I could use to create a face/head similar to this? All hand tools, mig/tig. It'll be for a larger full body project. Thanks!

Wait I just finished watching that's fucking gnarly
Awesome! Cool craftsmanshio!
What music is used in this? Great stuff man!
Hey, pretty cool
Nasolabial sulcus. Or nasolabial folds if you are a little less fancy about it.
Bit of a mouthful, but thats what the line between the cheeks and the nose/lips are called. (The dent on your top lip is a bit more well known and called the philtrum.)
That's some impressive work!
penitent one
BLASPHEMOUS
I was so hoping it for a destro
Nasal laibial flap is the technical name for the laugh line
Incredible work again!
awww man! all i want is to make my own Crimson Glory masks 😫
Fantastic as always
This is the stuff I've been waiting for ❤
Wow! Great process!
I love this series
That's amazing, very Roman.
Always wanted a Destro mask.
beautiful
beautiful !
Wowwww ....😎😎😎💪💪💪 Super Mega Like Bro ...!!!
Good job on that facemask 😎😎
3:00 That music tho

Great work man. Your tig welds look like mine lol
Wow, I will make it 4 sure
The word you were looking for is the labionasal folds.
I was watching up to the nose part and realized I wouldn't be able to do this..
Badass 😎
Muy genial tu trabajo te quedo muy bien y la música le pone emoción al video felicitaciones por tu trabajo
It's possible to make it with cooper? Or brass , it so what gauge should be possible to do it since the face mask bring back memories of a shiny gold helmet with a face on it ,suddenly I wanted to give it a try ,I done couple of you work , and always keep checking the new material you come out with, once again really great work .

Very well done Bro! :O
Might help?
Dude...epic help....

Hi David, I enjoyed watching you transform that sheet of aluminium. I'm looking at trying my hand at coppersmithing. I notice copper is annealed throughout the process. Does aluminium not require this? Cheers.
Aluminum does require it, depending on how far you push the metal. Simple shapes can be done without it.
How many times have I have said the same thing, it ain’t cheap!
The rise of Destro
7:29, kinda looks like voldemort XD
