Thank you for getting me into armoring although I don't use many of your templates anymore you were my first inspiration I have decided to revisit making a sallet and bevor and this video still helps me alot.
Awesome build! Love how you're adding some new tools into the shop to help you get better finished faster. I'm very much looking forward to the next phase of this project.
This is sick........ I look forward to getting this template....... Truly an inspiration with your work. Sharing a skill set is a very rare thing these days......... Cant wait til I can officially call my self an armourour...
I am an artist that doesn't just meant I paint or draw, I do those things but what it means is I like to create. I have made beds, pantries, coat racks and other things. I have only just begun fooling around with metal working so far turning a railroad spike I found into a tomahawk. Great videos!
Great work David, I always look forward to your videos :) you do great work and great tutorials thank you for all your time it takes to make and edit the videos :)
Hey bud, firstly, I really love the vids. You make some of the coolest armour I've seen! Secondly, have you ever thought about making Space Marine Armour from Warhammer 40K? I think it'd be amazing!
I have always loved Space Marine armor....especially the embellishments. I do incorporate some of that into some of my designs, but a full on "legit" piece of SM armor would be huge and heavy...even if scaled down to reasonable proportions. I do have plans to make a Power Glove at some point....not a copy of anything but something similar in design
I usually make all the parts in paper first with my builds. This time around I winged it, cutting out the shapes I thought would work. It's a little bit of trial and error and a little bit of research too
Hey man, just found out about your channel. I'm curious whether you harden your armour or not, and if you do whether you run into problems like deformation or cracks a lot. Thanks for the awesome videos, keep up the good work!
I keep things simply on this channel, and only do cold forging. No heat to shape, and no heat hardening. By keeping it as simple as possible, I keep this hobby open to people with limited equipment and skill
This is a common thought among metalworkers, but I assure you there is so little thinning that it won't matter at all. As far as using raising instead, it's all about the technique and the abilities of the person doing the raising/dishing. The template works for both.
Definitely. However they are harder to get the deep curves needed when it comes to armor. They wok better on a motorcycle tank or car panels. I do still use one, but not often.
I love the style of everything in the 40k universe, and I do use some similar design ideas when I make some of my armor (check out the Superhero Breastplate and my Pauldron). As for a legit copy of a Space Marine helmet, I doubt I will ever do that. When I copy things I sort of have to offer my templates as free templates, and I have no idea why, but those videos with free templates do poorly.
David Guyton I have already checked your all videos , they are all institutional , interesting and beautiful. Guess there is two things a man can watch eternally 1st - how the campfire burns. 2nd - how you crate these masterpieces. Back in the topic I would offer you at list to try one , as I am planing to build an real size endoskeleton armoured with 20 gage still space marine armor. For the beginning I will start from a 40k guardsman's armour. And of course as an engineer I keep planing to make an additional servo manipulator arm , that could be carried on back and controlled with neuro sensors. With mantling this I just like to represent the idea of bringing to life of 40k content and at the same time to find for them a practical use with farther modifications for far more adapted life usage.
Will you ever use sliding rivits for your builds? Not helmet nor bevor per say but gauntlets with basic rivits lack full mobility. Your builds look amazing but they could also move amazing as well. Btw. Its not hate just objective comment
I have used them in the past. I try to keep the builds a little simpler so that people can make them easier. Popping a hole is a lot easier than making a curved slit. If the situation calls for it though, I will do it again
If I may ask, that yellow English Wheel looks like the one Harbor Freight sells. Can you verify that and that it is adequate for planishing even 14-16 ga. steel for armoring?
Yes, and yes. There are actually several manufacturers that sell the exact same one just with different paint. When I got mine, HF had discontinued the lower wheels (???) Not sure if they sell them again, but I just bought mine off Amazon or Ebay, I forget which.
@@DavidGuyton Awesome - thanks. Were you able to get the extra wheels/anvils or have you even found the need for them? I just bought a few of your templates after a few years of watching your videos and now I am prepared to start work on my armor, but given time constraints of life, work, and other hobbies, I think the English Wheel will speed the process significantly over hand-planishing.
The English Wheel is my favorite tool in my shop, and worth every penny. I was able to get the lower wheels, just not from Harbor Freight. You will definitely want the additional wheels because it only comes with a 2" radius lower wheel. That works for most stuff but if you want to shape a wider curve, a larger diameter lower wheel is much more appropriate. I use a 6" one most of the time. Also, an English Wheel has this sort of "legend" about it where you can put straight metal into it and curve it in both directions. This is technically true, but in order to get tight, small curves like armor has (as opposed to a body panel on a car, where the curves are larger), you will still need to hammer on the metal in a dishing stump before you take it to the English Wheel. If you tried to shape flat metal and turn it into a helmet ONLY using the English Wheel...you are not going to be happy about the project. But hammer it out first to get a basic shape, then work it on the Wheel....you're going to love that.
@@DavidGuyton Awesome. My dishing stump is almost complete. Also, I am a hobbyist blacksmith looking to branch out into armor, so I am no stranger to hammering metal and have the capacity to do hot work if needed on my coal forge. Thanks for the pointers! I've always wanted to do some armor and your videos showed me that "regular" guys can do it without a ton of specialized equipment.
I’ld love to see you do animated steampunk wings! I currently have my daughter nagging me for some to which I’ve got the Design and mechanics down a simple corsentinia effect ( a fan in reverse) using aluminium wings /fans with some linkages to each wing to help spread them, rather than fabric, both wings run of a single actuator ( for now ) with a chain link to the top as pivot. Mines still a work in progress mind. But ild love to see your interpretation of that build!
@@ericwalter651judging by your profile picture, I assume you've realized this statement's silliness by now 😂 Buhurt and its consequences have been a disaster for the historical arms and armor community
Oh ok. Thank you. Love the videos, been a long time watcher. Would be really interesting to see you create other types of historical helmets like a kettle helm or great helms.
Should have added some protective support to cushion a blow to the face... its only practical use would be to conceal the face but my god that blunt trauma to any area of that face mask would hurt! Haha
It kinda looks like a round snouted viser for a bascimet. NOT sure What makes this a bevor, except for it covering the same arena AS a bevor. Looks okay, but also slightly funny/ackward with the double chin.
Apart from fact, that some gothic bevors were made in one piece, it is pretty close to historically accurate version of segmented bevor. Only major difference i see on most of them is size of bottom plate, which was usually longer and a bit wider to cover more area. As of aesthetic, it is a bit more domed and top edge was mostly flat. As a practically homemade piece of armour it is really amazingly good looking.
Bro, this is the sweetest thing ive ever seen. I love it.
Thank you for getting me into armoring although I don't use many of your templates anymore you were my first inspiration I have decided to revisit making a sallet and bevor and this video still helps me alot.
The spring latch is really clever and the piece looks great!
Just can't beat the looks of Gothic armour.

I am hoping to add a spring pin to a closed helmet I'm building, and it was nice to have a little closer explanation of one. Thanks for that!
This one definitely motivates me to make this, Love the brass trim.
Dude, I am psyched! That looks so cool! I got a couple of your templates recently and they are so helpful! Keep up the great work dude!
I'm going to do these projects for my Halloween costume:) Can't wait to get materials.
Beautiful work! Can't wait to see the sallet!
Will be very useful at the ska shows! Thanks
Great work David, I always look forward to your videos :) you do great work and great tutorials thank you for all your time it takes to make and edit the videos :)
The upper profile brings to mind rhinoceros or triceratops inspired battle gear. Cool base for all sorts of detailing and materials.
I thought the same thing after I shaped the parts and put them together haha. Jurassic Park
2:12 when you see someone you know but dont like in public but you wanna be polite
NICE ARMOR!
Awesome stuff
you are amazing, dude, congrats, very good skills
Great now I need to buy a new template

You do great work! I love all your tutorials
For consideration how about post apocalyptic armor?
Something that has been requested a lot, but something I don't have a lot of interest in. At some point, I suppose I will tackle it.
Nice work, mate 👍
Nice work
You rock man!!🔥👌🏽
THATS BADASS
Nice!
The Decorative pieces are called conchos 👍
Man that's an ambitious project for you to start!
Did much of research or more trial and error?
I usually make all the parts in paper first with my builds. This time around I winged it, cutting out the shapes I thought would work. It's a little bit of trial and error and a little bit of research too
Love it wow thx so much
Please Friend full body armor
Looking at this you could probably make it go with the skull helmet you made with the right tweaks
0:55 I rounded of the flat side of a hammer and in that first step I get close to the shape while maintaining a very flat surface.
Please do Ironman complete, the simple silver one in Ironman 1, I'm sure everyone can add to it if you do the basic one first.
The ideal vampire hunting gear! No more nasty neck bites!
Just today i was wondering when we can see something about announced helmet :D

David Guyton Got'ya, thanks for the reply!
Way cool!!!!
As I understand it, dishing can thin the material some- do these patterns work as well/the same with raising techniques?
This is a common thought among metalworkers, but I assure you there is so little thinning that it won't matter at all. As far as using raising instead, it's all about the technique and the abilities of the person doing the raising/dishing. The template works for both.
Would a pear shaped plastic mallet help reduce the amount of planishing needed when shaping the curves?
Definitely. However they are harder to get the deep curves needed when it comes to armor. They wok better on a motorcycle tank or car panels. I do still use one, but not often.
Very nice
Very cool. I wonder if this would work with the bassinet helm I have?
if it will fit up under the helmet, I don't see why not
Cool. I may end up changing the visor if it doesn’t fit underneath.
Salute David! Thank you for great content , so can you please make a Warhammer 40k space marine helmet?

I don't see this template only the helmet. Is it a 2 for 1?
Yes both the Bevor and the Helmet are included in the same template.

But ild love to see your interpretation of that build!
sounds like a complicated project that might make me insane in the end haha. I'm interested in seeing photos of your build
Nossa como e maguinifico seu trabalho
I love your armor toutorials but they seem quite close fit remember padding is under all armor and it's kinda thick
Gothic armor is traditionally close fitting. Adding padding of any sort is up to the end user...and he or she can scale the templates up as desired.
@@DavidGuyton true but I would like to note that without padding, armor can be quite useless regardless I love all your videos

Plesae make a vidoe about how to make wings mechanical
David, where can we purchase the steel?
I usually just buy from Amazon. But Ebay is also a good place, Lowes, and any local steel supply place you might have near you
Thank you Sir! I appreciate the response.
could you make a Gothic armored hood
I'm going to become Gothic
i sneeze and poke my eye's
out.
это что то невероятное спасибо
Why are there no comments or likes yet?
Guess I'm first then?
what kind of music in the video?
Could you make this with 16 or 14 gauge steel
It can certainly be done, yes....but I wouldn't want to do it
Because it is much harder to form the metal I am guessing?
It's harder to form it, but it's doable. It's the cutting that I hate so much.
Oh ok. Thank you. Love the videos, been a long time watcher. Would be really interesting to see you create other types of historical helmets like a kettle helm or great helms.
When is the next piece coming????!!!
still working on it. Before the month is over
David Guyton, hahaha lol fastest reply I ever got on TH-cam. Thanks for doing it, really on edge to see the results.😀😂😂
I’ll use any armor I can to end all thots
It almost looks like Apollyons helmet from For Honor
Please make black panther helmet😅
Do Jhin's arm armor from league of legends please
How hard is it to breathe in that thing?
Not hard. There's plenty of open area all around your nose and mouth, even without the holes.
Could u make captain America's new arm shields they are kind of armor
If you went to school for what was the career name ?
The official name of what he does is called an armorer, but I'm not aware of any school that teaches it
That double chin tho
I've been eating Oreos
Should have added some protective support to cushion a blow to the face... its only practical use would be to conceal the face but my god that blunt trauma to any area of that face mask would hurt! Haha
I need new hand shears mine are so dull. lol.

I think it'd still work just as fine. Plenty of room for breathing, a couple centimeters of space between the mouth, nose and plate.
Guage?
