Making a Steel Plate Nazgul Gauntlet

- One of the most adorned pieces of armor from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Cold and spikey and therefore a pleasure to the Eye.
In this video I guide you through the deathless process of making one. From steel plate to Gothic elegance. From the vambrace towards iron fingers that are made to grasp the One Ring.
If you want to do this yourself, realise it will take time, deep cuts through the flesh and most of all: a lot of filing.
I am planning on making the second (right) gauntlet and am looking forward to keep those of you, who are also fascinated by this object, updated.
I am just getting into armor making and this is super helpful and inspiring. Looking forward to more.
There will be more I promise. I just finished building a new workspace and I'm planning on making a new pair of gauntlets with improved mobility and knuckleriders made out of one piece.
very interesting to see how you did the knucklerider, that gave me headaches for weeks. overall a very good result! well done!
one small tip, if you place the rivet slots on an angle (higher towards the front) you get a little bit more movement around the wrist area
Interesting tip M4verick. I tried to grant the bearer of the gauntlets more flexibility around the wrist area by using wider rivetholes. What you say makes sense! Thanks :)
Outstanding work, glad I found your channel.
This video has not gotten the respect it deserves! Thats amazing craftsman ship! I tried to make one last Halloween, and I wish I had this video then.
Thank you Allen, remember for us everyday is Halloween :D I have practiced a lot and studied the design thoroughly. Now that I have made a pair and connected both gauntlets to gloves I am planning to make a video about how they are worn and their functionality. I am curious about what you made, perhaps it's much better than you think. For the maker they always look different than to the audience.
@@poldermaskerarmory8198 i actually didn't finish the gauntlets. I got everything cut out but I ran into issues when it came to rivets. Couldn't figure out how to make nice clean one out of the materials I had. After time to learn and watching this video my confidence has grown. I havent posted it anywhere but if I finish it this year I'll post it somewhere. I was making a costume for my brother, I finished everything but those. I felt bad for letting him down, but he asked me to finish this year. If I post it it'll be on my Instagram allen_is_an_alien
@@Allen-ej3sz i used double headed rivets for my gauntlets because i didnt want to hammer for hours and hours. just dont press them all the way together and they work just fine. i really dont want to advertise my instagram channel here but if you want to see how that looks check out m4verick6666
@@Allen-ej3sz oh and btw, if your struggling with your gauntlets there is an awesome guide for gauntlet making over on thak ironworks channel which helped me out soooooooooooo much
The berserker armor!!!
Great first video, love it!
Glad you liked it!
Superb!
I want one😭😭
*Edit*
This video deserves SO MUCH more views!!
Any templates?
BAD AZZ GAUNTLET! 🎉😮
Amazing craftmanship! I'm just getting into armor making and this is super inspiring. What kind of torch blower do you use?
hey i was thinking about making a set of these for myself and was wondering if you could share the templates you used with me.
Hi there. How do You attach the fingers to the glove?? Is it possible to buy the template from You???? Would love to make a pair of them 😀
So you're just NOT gonna wear it?! I would've worn that masterpiece to McDonald's
In the meantime I have attached the gauntlets (I have made a pair) to gloves en already worn them. They feel great and I promise that before Christmas I will upload another video. I also plan to make the rest of the set, so be prepared to see more Nazgul armor!
@@poldermaskerarmory8198 Can you adopt me?
@@poldermaskerarmory8198 rly excited to see that keep up the good work
@@blackfyre1351 lmaooooo
please im begging for a template
What grade of steel did you use for this? Awesome video
What is that weird grinding tool with the belt I've never seen one of these?
I'm making a steel Witch King set, and while I have most of it down, I don't have access to a grinder OR a good knuckle pattern. For the most part, the Adam Savage patterns work a treat, but the knuckle is where it really doesn't transfer to metal well. Would you be willing to develop a pattern NOT requiring welding, and would be accessible? Thanks!
Try the example that I show in this video as a blueprint, then connect the folded metal to an underlying plate by riveting. This way you overcome the need to weld. By thoroughly riveting the plates together the rivets themselves will be barely visible.
You can also try to create the spiky gadlings out of one piece. This is a bit harder to do, especially for novels.
Just start and have fun.
Graag gedaan pik
Nazguuuuuul
I'm curious as to how exactly you figured out the knucklerider, I can't seem to get mine to the correct shape. Any chance you could post the template you made?
This knucklerider took some brainstorming as well. Blueprints can be found on the Internet. Some of them are meant for 3D printers but the designs are similar to what I show in this video. Overall they need to fit. That is why you should design them yourself and test them beforehand with paper. This will save you a lot of steel. I will make a video on how to make designs. I'm currently working on one. I will let you know through this channel.
@@poldermaskerarmory8198 That's great, thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍☺❤❤❤I LOVE KNIGHTS
Wouldn't the lines come out cleaner if you ran heat?
hello can you please release your knuckle plate or a whole templet i have looked all over the web for one like yours.
Dear Tyler. There's no one size that fits all. You can look them up (there's 3D printer models) but if you want to make this, follow my instructions and after a few hours of drawing you will have your own custom blueprints
Даже не показал как на руке сидит и весь функционал... Такой ты молодец) А ради чего делал?
Do you have the prints?
Vakwerk!
REALITY COSPLAY,1 DAY BUILD? :)
What metal did you use?
Cold rolled steel. Nothing too special.
روووو عه 😘😗😍😙💛💘💚
Y las medidas?
What gauge steel is this?
1mm I don't know what gauge that could be
¿Where do I get the templates?
Mine I drawed myself based on how they appear in the movies. Google will provide you with multiple templates. The knuckleplates are a different story though.
the most accurate templet in my opinion has punished props / tested.com . the pattern was taken from a highly accurate movie replica of kropserkel. but as PoldermaskerArmory pointed out here, the knucklerider is a very complicated piece that you kind of have to figure out yourself. even the templetes online are not really working.
@@m4verick6666 Indeed, they're not working for the knucklerider and it's not all templates. I do know for sure that the masters at Kropserkel TIG weld the spiky gadlings to knucklerider that is made out of one piece of hot rolled (1mm) steel. This knucklerider is made with great skill also I cannot comprehend. And there is seeing it for yourself. Once created, a pair of gauntlets that can be worn, allow you a feel. A feel which cannot be transfered via youtube.
@@mellie2003 "A feel which cannot be transfered via youtube" well said! i build a pair out of foam a couple of years back. this year i build 2 pairs from steel. the difference between foam and steel gauntlets is universes apart. and seeing a pair on video vs wearing them with a full ringwraith costume to festivals with a nice replica nazgul sword is incredible. luckly i was given the chance many times this year dispite covid19

Video is great, the making of the gauntlet is awesome, vey skillfully done.
but gods the music is terrible.. i had to watch it muted
Beautiful work but bro. Please stop using a grinder while holding the piece. I have seen a lot of grinder injuries and almost died because of one. Please be safe and keep up the great work.
I know! But the grinder is safe with me
duvido tu saber oque ta escrito
Bro... Some of us watch videos at night, in bed... The welding glow is very disturbing in the dark. Try adding something to diminish the glow. I've seen a channel of a dude that puts a transparent circle to darken the glow. Very smart... Very comfortable to watch
Gotta admire your strong will to watch a video about welding just before bedtime. You know welding is done using a visor that shields the eye from harmful UV rays so in a way you were kind of spared by my video
I suggest that before bed you hit the sack, you down a nice cup of premium cement.!!!
You make this long video and you’re not even going to show somebody wearing it? How ignorant
I know 😄
Thumbs down you didn't even wear it
