My god, i just printed your patterns, assembled them up and the paper helm fits me just well ! (with an inch for the padding) That's amazing ! (i'll start forging the metal soon) Thanks a lot for you work, your videos are detailled and amazing ! Perfect for a newbie like me ;)
StenDarker I have recently relocated my shop and I've been bogged down with the requirements working full-time, but when things settle down, I'll look into Patreon. Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm assuming the originals had the rivet holes punched cold with a punch and die. Do you find the drill easier to aline than a hand held punch like you showed briefly in part 1? I'm not an armorer but I enjoy your videos.
This is an excellent suggestion and, once I'm finished with this video (and relocating my stuff to a new studio), I think this will be a future video :-). Subscribe and stay tuned!
Heard the first few notes of the first song, and was like, "Man, I wanna go play Stainless Steel now...". I have Eastern Roman Empire and Holy Roman Empire maps I should finish at some point. And I want to do a world domination game with Portugal...
well, I believe earlier great helm like the dargen great helmet can be wear without even the chainmail as it have padded lining for softening blow trauma. Though most would still wear a chainmail under it
Absolutely! The Dargen helm and other great helms like it from the later 13th century, weren't neccessarily worn with anything else and would have had an integral padded liner. But the Pembridge helm (from the 14th century) would have likely been worn with the maille and cervelliere or even later on with a shallow bascinet. But the earlier Dargen helm could have been work with or without maille.
This is my last question for you, I promise. What is the minimal distance you would leave between the edge of the metal and the beginning of a rivet hole? If that distance gets too small it seems like you might risk having a rivet tear through to the edge and pop out (if it were hit with enough force and from the right angle). The rivets along the edge of the skullcap plate seem pretty close to the edge of the metal but obviously you deemed it to be enough material to hold the rivet. Any rule of thumb to keep in mind? Subbed.
It is beautiful, but there is one detail that is not minor; The assemblies of each part should be against the rain, especially in the upper part, the rain drains into the interior given that I imagine that at that time also fought on rainy days and therefore the leak was a fact, according to my modest opinion, but the beauty of the blacksmith's work, my congratulations, is just as beautiful.
You will note that originals from the time were overlapped in the same manner: www.nms.ac.uk/media/72279/pembridgehelm-face-490px.jpg i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/09/01/9e0901ead259ec38307bc1d22aee16ea.jpg
I have a question if one was to make this armor how would you go about getting it to have a personal fit. Where should you add lengths and take to make it so that the eyes fit the individual or are these a more... one size fits all??
The skill of patterning a helmet to fit a specific measurement is a whole entire skill set that simply cannot be explained in the comment section of this video. I construct a wooden model of my client's head and then create a design around that, insuring that the eyes and other important points of contact match to the model. Then, I create the patterns for the helmet off of the design. It's a ton of reverse engineering and, honestly, making a good pattern takes about a day's work before ever cutting a single piece of steel.
GENIAL, no es que me guste mucho este yelmo, pero me la estoy jalando mientras miro el video XD pero enserio, tengo un par de dudas 1) ¿como se pueden poner los remaches de golpe al fundo del yelmo 2) ¿como se le pone la red que lleva dentro?
Kalin Duncan No. 22 ga. is WAY too thin, even for costume grade armour. You can pick up 2'x2' sheets of 16 ga. mild steel in the hardware department of Lowe's for about $35.
+DVSKATE No, 16 gauge is the MINIMUM you want to use for a helmet in mild steel. If you cannot find it at Lowe's or Home Depot, order it online at McMaster Carr. They'll have any size sheet steel you'll need.
As soon as everything get's back to normality, i'll go straight to the metal workshop on my university to do this.
Thanks a lot for doing this videos.
Wow, amazing work - thankyou for the time, effort and money you put into making these videos, they're a pleasure to watch!
Patterns for this project are available here:

I love that you included Skye Cuilin at the beginning, that song is beautiful.
Kai The Gamer, I was listening to it (along with others) while building the helm :-).
@@ParkerBrown1979 Honestly, medieval music and orchestral symphonies are the best types of music to listen to when creating.

Thank you for all the hard work I am slowly learning thank you
Have you considered patreon? Your format seems well suited for it
StenDarker I have recently relocated my shop and I've been bogged down with the requirements working full-time, but when things settle down, I'll look into Patreon. Thanks for the suggestion!
No problem! Hope it works well for you
i watched the first five minutes of death stranding and the helmet he wares is outstanding.
Thank you for your incredible job and teachings =)
From a junior blacksmith eager to learn more
+Caio Cestari Kyo Thank you very much
P.S. I like the music, normally if I listen to anything in the shop it's rock, but this is paced well to keep you moving.
Amazing videos. Thank you for your work
@ apieceoftofu: Generally, you want at least the width of the rivet head's distance from the edge of the metal.
Thank you sensei.
So cool! Would love to see a pair of articulating gauntlets :D
....make a donation and I'll give it some serious consideration ;-). Thanks for watching!
Now i feel compelled to donate....
Perhaps later, i'll just like and subscribe first.
High quality stuff there mr Brown. Very high quality.
Well thank you :-)
some songs are from the mobile game called "Merchant"
Well done.
Love your work, and subscribed.

Could you do a video on how to measure a customer's head for helm construction? Or what you'd need to modify for someone who wears glasses?
This is an excellent suggestion and, once I'm finished with this video (and relocating my stuff to a new studio), I think this will be a future video :-). Subscribe and stay tuned!
great!

Hey, is there a playlist to the songs you used? AND AWESOME WORK!
TheEngineerGuy There was, but TH-cam has been funny regarding copyright, so I’m just choosing not to poke the bear ;-).
Can you tell me the titles please^^ ? Would be very cool!

Okay. thanks for the clarification.-
@@ParkerBrown1979 i like when everythig is made just like the original. Specially in armors and weapons

where might you suggest i start looking for that information?
And how much will it cost to let one to be made?
Whats the music, its lovely?
Unfortunately, I'm very sorry, but I do not have all of that information (please read the commentary below).
Wunderschön
gute Arbeit danke sehr^^
Danke!
hot raised verses dishing? Is there a difference?
Raised pieces tend to maintain their thickness throughout the part while dished pieces can become thinned at the apex of the part's curve.
Could please tell me the names of each piece of music?
I'm very sorry, but I do not have all of that information.
Does anyone know where you are able to get sheet metal relatively inexpensively. It seems so expensive.
scraps from factories or construction sites
hola queria saber de cuantos mm es el acero que utiliza, el espesor del acero. Gracias
El acero es de 14 ga . Eso es alrededor de 1,7 mm de espesor .
muchisimas gracias! me habian dicho que use acero de 4mm, pero me parecía mucho, es para hacer guerra medieval un saludo y de nuevo, gracias!
GENIAL, no es que me guste mucho este yelmo, pero me la estoy jalando mientras miro el video XD
pero enserio, tengo un par de dudas
1) ¿como se pueden poner los remaches de golpe al fundo del yelmo
2) ¿como se le pone la red que lleva dentro?
Muchas gracias !
1) Yo te mostraré remaches en el siguiente video .
2) ¿Estás hablando de un forro? El forro se muestra en el siguiente video.
GRACIAS
Where Do you get your Steel?
I just cant find anywhere to buy 18 gauge Steel Our local store only sells 9 Gauge
I found steel in an Auto repair supplies store.
Did you fashion your own sharpie scribe?
Yes, indeed.
Hey I was wondering would 22 gauge steel work for this I'm just starting armor building
Kalin Duncan No. 22 ga. is WAY too thin, even for costume grade armour. You can pick up 2'x2' sheets of 16 ga. mild steel in the hardware department of Lowe's for about $35.
I don't have Lowes but I have home depot the only guage they got is 22 and 18 gauge
+Kalin Duncan 18 gauge is good enough.
+DVSKATE No, 16 gauge is the MINIMUM you want to use for a helmet in mild steel. If you cannot find it at Lowe's or Home Depot, order it online at McMaster Carr. They'll have any size sheet steel you'll need.
