Well about that... you see for some of us they are expensive. For the initial cost of buying every single one of those tools, I simply do not have $1500-$2000 to drop even on Harbor Freight grade metal working tools. I barely had enough money to go out a buy one of their cheapest flux coated wire fed mig welders with basic accessories and safety gear. I still don't have the money to go out and purchase an English wheel. Those other tools like what were shown in the video such as the sheet metal hammers and die sets, I can't find those anywhere, not even Harbor Freight for that matter, not even The Home Depot or Auto Zone sells hammer and die sets. I still have no clue where I'm suppose to find giant sheets of 18 to 16 gauge thick sheet metal that doesn't already have shit prestamped in it. Not exactly an item Walmart has in stock. Also you need a safe place where you can do hot works, preferably a shop. I know if I got caught attempting to do any welding out in the parking lot of where I live, I'd probably get into a lot of trouble with the base fire marshal, base police department, and the building manager. That's why I haven't even gotten a chance to use my welder yet. Trust me this is a long overdue project that I've been wanting to take on for the last 7+ years, I just simply don't have the money, tools or material. It is so much easier and cheaper to get wood and to take on elaborate carpentry projects than it is to get into the metal artisan, craft, and metal forgery.
Nero Smith don't let that stop you! You be surprised with what you can make from bits you can find lying around. A simple hammer,any bit of metal as a punch and a hollowed tree stump is enough to get you going.
Exactly right. Though this is interesting to watch as if it were a "how it's made" episode, most people will never EVER own this type of equipment and are not willing to fork over a few grand just to make a spartan helmet. Not to mention the need for ample shop space, which not every one has. On top of that, sheet metal is got dam expensive. Best to just buy the prop on ebay or whatever.
I know this is an old video, but I'm doing building a set of spartan gear and I was wondering if you had the patterns used in any of your spartan videos. If you do that would be great! Thanks!
When you were adding the bead around the face guard, how hard was it to correct where your beads overlapped each other at hard angles? It seems to me like rolling a bead to meet another would never quite meet right. Am I wrong, or is there some technique to fix it?
Great work mate,just found you and new subs. For a great patina look try heating up to dull red and then buffing with a brass brush in angle grinder. The brass brush leaves an antiquated brass/bronze look to the work.
hi do you have the pdf of the 2d designs to cut the steelnpieces? you should say how many inches, centimeters, etc. the thing you're cutting out is. Thank you very much.
How time consuming or more difficult is it to build one more authentic in thicker metal? 18 GA seems to be the metal thickness used for ancient Corinthian Greek helmet remakes. I was curious if thicker metal is possible?
Nice work mate.I made a steel pilos helmet & painted it with gold leaf.looks good even better than brass.Also find brass is harder to work than steel.Great setup for the rolled edges.
Hail from France ! I'm part of an association of Greek fighting reenactment : I've just seen the videos about cnemidas and thorax you've made, I just wanted to say you've done a FUC**** AMAZING job on these pieces, and I think we should take exemple on you, it's an amazing job !!!!!
Hey im trying to make this helmet for a high school metals project im working on. Do you think you could send me the templates you used please? Thanks!
How well do you think this would work as a real helmet? If you added padding do you think it would be protective enough to use against wooden weapons? Thanks!
Excellent video on how to do it. You gave exactly just the right amount of info and did it with the fewest possible words. You should teach classes on how to do a "How To Video"! Thanks.
+GoldPointProps Hi, could you make the helmet of a roman legionary or a centurio? Would be freakin' awesome! Keep up your work! It's really cool to watch your videos! :D
Robert you are a true sculptor/artist, I especially like how you joined the top of the helmet with the face--a cool transition. Do you put in a lining so a person could buy one from you and ride? Thanks ( This Comment/compliment From a professionally trained artist/Sculptor)
Yes -ride a motorcycle wearing one of your helmets, Can you put an inner Styrofoam helmet just like an off the shelf motorcycle helmet? It doesn't need to be DOT approved, but should have some Styrofoam . Thanks I wonder if you could purchase an inner lining or maybe I could adapt an inner lining taken from an off the shelf motorcycle helmet. Can you contact me at costaricariver@yahoo.com please and discuss pricing and if you are interested in selling a helmet to me? Thanks
Good metal working to create a spartan helmet from scratch. Metal worker first shapes face of helmet, then back of helmet, and finally top of helmet. These pieces are tac welded together. This artist used spring steel. Final step painted the metal helmet gold color. Looks good. Does it fit a person's head? Would like to see video of person wearing it.
Yeah, good luck trying find sheets of bronze lying around. Just trying to find plain regular pieces mild steel of sheet metal is hard enough. BTW you can't mig or stick weld bronze or brass, more than likely you're going to need a tig welder (which super fucking expensive) and lots of training and experience to learn how to properly use it to make strong, clean welds.
Jeffery McCain if you go to our goldpointfilms channel we have a video there showing how we made a knights Templar helmet. the helmet at 1:53 Is a 300 helmet
GoldPointProps I was interested in a helmet for a spartan sprint. I have a knights helmet I have been thinking of getting painted and wearing it then I run across your video those are some sweet helmets
hey. I'm planning on going to a comic-con shortly and i need advise on making a doctor doom mask. it would be awesome if you could do a video on that by september. thanks!
Awesome helmet. Just wish everybody had access to all the equipment required. Title should be "how to make Spartan helmet if u have a workshop and 100 grand of equipment."
*This is what the internet is really for*
this moment when the guy use equipement you'll never own
***** Well
I'm European
Idk if they ship here
Plus me house isn't that big
I can't put that on me fking bathroom mate xD
I'm Latin American, they don't even allow us to import tools:(

you have some cool tools i've never seen before.
These are tools common to all metal workshops. When you got what you need, fabricating stuff like this is such a joy to do.
Now that’s craftsmanship. You know what is interesting. The Greeks used a single cast mold to create these helmets.
Can you put that paper template online?
I know this is an old video, but I'm doing building a set of spartan gear and I was wondering if you had the patterns used in any of your spartan videos. If you do that would be great! Thanks!

hi do you have the pdf of the 2d designs to cut the steelnpieces? you should say how many inches, centimeters, etc. the thing you're cutting out is. Thank you very much.
pezetgarden11 yes I just need you email and ill send it. thanks for your feedback we will do that in future videos
zahradnicek.petr@seznam.cz thank you very much :-)
Awesome I was hoping to find something like this and now I can follow how you made it!
SinisterGamingPC GAMER glad you found what you were looking for
Nicely done, I wish I had all the tools to make a legitimate helmet or mask. Thanks for sharing.
How time consuming or more difficult is it to build one more authentic in thicker metal? 18 GA seems to be the metal thickness used for ancient Corinthian Greek helmet remakes. I was curious if thicker metal is possible?
A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't.
You are an excellent metal artist. Good job. It is amazing.
thank you
Nice work mate.I made a steel pilos helmet & painted it with gold leaf.looks good even better than brass.Also find brass is harder to work than steel.Great setup for the rolled edges.
thanks! on our next helmet were going to try gold powder coat and see how that works out.
Sounds like the way to go,thanks for your reply.Good luck.
Being myself Greek, you honour my country and I thank you.
Very nice piece of work! 👍 love it!
Great job, looks perfect. Just the plume or the brush on the top and that's it.
Very nice. Do you add linings to the helmet?
Considering the thickness of the metal he have used, is it a lightened version of the helmet or did these helmets truly have such a low thickness?
What kind and how thick is your metal? What would be the ideal thickness for making one of these?
nice, your technique makes it look almost easy
Not the greatest known,but I’ll give you 4.5 stars for making a helmet that looks outstanding.
Madness? This is SPARTA!
مبدع أخي وعملك أسطوري إعرف المقطع قديم 7 سنوات. أخي أسطورة
I just had few questions I do not have an english wheel, hand shears metal roller could provide substitutes for those .Thank you
Also i dont have a machine that can bead metal can you provide a substitute as well. Thank you again
Making a similar one but needed help with the head piece in welding, thanks bro!
+GoldPointProps what's the name of the machine at 1:58? I'm working as a steelworker but saw this kind of machine for the first time...
That helmet looks really nice. This is Sparta!
This video opened my eyes to the possibilities.
You murdered it! Great! Congratulations
Hi! You made an awesome work!
Could you please tell me how you could make sure that the side of the helmet will fit the top of it after forming it?
Really nice, but what type of hand shears were those?
Hail from France ! I'm part of an association of Greek fighting reenactment : I've just seen the videos about cnemidas and thorax you've made, I just wanted to say you've done a FUC**** AMAZING job on these pieces, and I think we should take exemple on you, it's an amazing job !!!!!
Oi fock mate bruv
I have a question, how much did you pay for, for all of that stuff like the English roller and the bead roller?
Какие станки и инструменты вы используете для изготовления доспехов? Напишите список этих инструментов и станков. Пожалуйста.
Hey im trying to make this helmet for a high school metals project im working on. Do you think you could send me the templates you used please? Thanks!
Shadow Shadowz dude same
Fantastic, especially the dome work had to be difficult. Can the English wheel do heavier gauge like 14ga or even 12ga?
TiredOldDad1 thank you. yes it could do 14 gage but 12 gage is a little to thick. if you making a helmet you'd want to use 18 or 20 gage.
How well do you think this would work as a real helmet? If you added padding do you think it would be protective enough to use against wooden weapons? Thanks!
ebaymaster the would work fine against wooden weapons
Nice! I love the Bronze Look!
Excellent. This is what the historic Spartan helmets looked like...
Sir John Anthony Miller, EACA thank you.
Excellent video on how to do it. You gave exactly just the right amount of info and did it with the fewest possible words. You should teach classes on how to do a "How To Video"! Thanks.
thank you glad you enjoyed the video. haha I could make a video on how to make a how to video :p
GoldPointProps I'd watch it and recommend it! Ô¿Ô
agreed, I don't want to watch 10 minutes of someone dishing out the helm
good designed and looks like the thing.good show
Wow this is amazing! I'd love to try to make one of this.
+Rahul Chadha thank you
I'm making something like this for metal shop, did you have to measure your head or did you wing the size?
+Jason and Carrington I measured my head and added about an inch all around for padding
+GoldPointProps Hi, could you make the helmet of a roman legionary or a centurio?
Would be freakin' awesome!
Keep up your work! It's really cool to watch your videos! :D
Amazing stuff
Really liked it
If I use thinner, more flexible metal, like maybe tin or aluminum, is it possible to do this witout the need of powertools?
arvideriksson yes it would work but making the dome would be hard. id suggest using a metal mixing bowl and modifying it to work as the dome
Amazing job mate.i am from Greece .congratulations.
thank you
Amazing job and video,short and sweet. 👍🏻
+Mike Blake thanks
what kind of metal did you use? may I know? thanks you and God bless you
I'm trying to make a dr fate helmet and I'm thinking about getting some 18 gauge sheet metal and follow similar steps but modify the steps a little
that is some cool spartan helmet bro!!!!!!!!!
thanks brah!
Ooh my Gosh.. What an amazin job.!!
I loved it.. I will try to do it someday!
Agustín Sosa Migueles thank you. I have templates of the helmet I could email them to you if you'd like
GoldPointProps you sell the helmets? I'm from Brazil
Any plans of opening a shop in FL cause I need one of these for my streams
Outstanding!! Do you make them to sell to us non-metal workers?
Do you have a template that you started with?
I see a greek cuirass in the background at the beginning of the video, will you be making a 'how to' on that as well?
yes we will be showing two different ways how to make a Greek cuirass.
Robert you are a true sculptor/artist, I especially like how you joined the top of the helmet with the face--a cool transition. Do you put in a lining so a person could buy one from you and ride? Thanks ( This Comment/compliment From a professionally trained artist/Sculptor)
thank you.yes we do put a lining in them. but wha do yoiu mean by ride? like motorcycles?
Yes -ride a motorcycle wearing one of your helmets, Can you put an inner Styrofoam helmet just like an off the shelf motorcycle helmet?

Merry Christmas
How much does a sheet that size cost, and do you have any places you purchase in bulk from or do you just buy local?
+Phillip Roberts you can buy a 4foot by 8 foot sheet for for like $80
could you give the dimensions please
gorgeous!nice hand work.
What tool do you use to cut the metal? Is it a Dremmel?
I think he said "hand shear"
Impressive work,thanks for sharing
tumbo1984 thanks for watching
AMAZING WORK DUDE! YOU ARE GREAT!
Leitoh Bakan thank you!
Awesome man! Really PRO work!!!
coolsskin thank you
Im interested to buy the helmet the shield and the cuirass
How much it costs?
Thanks
You have to make an Achilles spartan helmet from the movie Troy!! It’d look sweet!
Good job bro! Very nice
thank you
Wow you have some serious talent make more videos!!!!
That looks awesome! I wish you had someone put it on though. How much does it weigh?
Christopher Jones at 18 gauge only a couple pounds.
For whenever you need to go spartan on your friends, lmao. Looks good.
Good stuff man
Excellent work. Can you braze as well? I would love to see an Attic or Thracian helmet in brass.
***** I never brazed before but I'm sure I can do it maybe one of these days ill give it a go
Great. Now I just need a bead roller, metal stretcher, and talent
where did you get the pattern from? for the face and the dome?
8282abrn I made them myself.
Thanks for the tips 'GoldPointProps'
Nine ,looks great and not so hard to make
one question how much do you want for that helmet ?
Looks great. Do you have a video of how you made the one in the background of the video? I like that version better
+Cooper Landram no but I will be making one
i love the helmet and I'm think of making it myself but where can i find the template if available
addicting videos nice work

great job absolutely.

Too expensive.

Silver solder on bronze or brass mate.
@@Deorse You could oxy acetylene weld it with brass pretty easily
Can't weld bronze/brass
what if you dont have a beader what can i use
Do u have pictures of any other helmets you have made? What is the helmet in the background at 1:53

HEY! man, can we have the Template for it?, im kind of bad at doing it by myself, It would be great if you could !.
Hi I don't have the tools or equipment to make this would you be willing to make one and sell it
looks great!
thanks!
So much for gloves.
