Firstly, make your armour out of 15mm aliminium or 5mm titanium. It stops 45 magnum rounds at point blank range. Moreover, titanium and aliminium is light enough to wear over your whole body. Particularly the titanium. However, to effectively wear 15mm thick aliminium over your whole body you need to be a two hundred kilogram person. This is because they are naturally stronger. They also get just as fast when they train. Lastly, thankyou for that video on dishing metal armour it was an absolutely brilliant video. I am going to dish some aliminium armour just like that later.
Just careful attention and then spot weld the halves together at one point. Small adjustments over a ball stake and continue until everything lines up. Finally finish weld and final planishing until smooth. Sorry I never finished the video series. Life got in the way I'm afraid.
Thanks a lot for the answer, you are very kind, If I do not find the tank I will look for a wooden stump to make the recess, Thank you for your videos, they are very useful! :)
Drew Pefferson if you had pattern welded steel to work the same techcan be used however a wooden mallet and a wooden dishing stump will save material and grinding time.
as far as armour is concerned, mostly self taught. Most people can build a basic piece pretty quickly with a bit of instruction. However I am a journey Smith and Sheet metal mechanic ( SAIT )
Thanks for sharing, very helpful. My neighbors are about to hate me
Thanks a lot I am making a spartan helmet for a school project and this helped out a lot thanks!
More planishing videos like this please!!!

Damn, that was fast! Great job!
This was genius...unconventional but genius nonetheless.It's the first time I feel like I can do a helm.
Any difference when dishing on a leather sand bag? I wonder if that would keep it from moving around so much. Just a thought, great vid!
very good basic class.
how do you ensure that the second half will be the same radius as the first and they will match up for welding?
Just careful attention and then spot weld the halves together at one point. Small adjustments over a ball stake and continue until everything lines up. Finally finish weld and final planishing until smooth. Sorry I never finished the video series. Life got in the way I'm afraid.
Thank you very much for sharing ...
Thank you. Jolly well done.
Hazza thank you
Hi, and thank you for the video, very interesting, I ask you one thing, what mold concavein metal what did you get it from?
From a cut canister?
CavaliereXIII the dish is the bottom of an old oxygen tank, however a tree stump.with a dish cut.into it does very well.
Thanks a lot for the answer, you are very kind, If I do not find the tank I will look for a wooden stump to make the recess, Thank you for your videos, they are very useful! :)
Is there a template for this project?
www.armourarchive.org/. has multiple patterns that this technique works with. Good luck
Nice vid. This video made my work easier. i subscribed to you chanel
any suggestions on dishing without a dishing tool or stump?
sure a sand bag but a dishing stump is not that hard to make and makes dishing easier compared to a sand bag
Thx for the vids!
Helped out :)
Mikael Sjöstrand Glad it helps!
would this same technique apply to demascus steel, besides the heating of the metal?
where did you find damascus sheet steel?
hahaha
Drew Pefferson if you had pattern welded steel to work the same techcan be used however a wooden mallet and a wooden dishing stump will save material and grinding time.
Hi Caius!
Great video!
Do you have any templates of your helmet halfs available for print?
Oliver Storgaard sorry. no but the armour archive does.
Where did you learn the skills necessary and how long did it take to learn?

genial master
Is that stump Birch?.....
Have you ever hit your thumb?
Hell yes lol
what gauge of metal is this?
and also is this stainless?
14 Ga.
@@gariaveria5433 no just mild.
What gage steel is that?
Nicholas Hughes that was 14 ga
Dude, that's even loud over the computer. You need hearing protection! Good work though..
C Dykhuizen what? LoL
What is steel thicknes?
Azurael1 the steel used on this is 14 gauge
Flat Finger Forge mild steel?
Azurael1 yes mild. You can do the same with some stainless types however you need to stop and anneal the steel between passes to prevent cracks.
Flat Finger Forge ok what kond of steel you propose? And question with steinless. How many anneal it would nead it?
