HOLY SH*T THIS MADE WALL PUNCHING NOT ONLY PAINLESS, BUT EASY AND FUN! :D THANKS!
thanks, Kyle
Bro same here. In making a gauntlet right now, and I'm watching videos for fingers, I already made the hand and thumb.
Dude. You’re making metalwork very approachable. It can be extremely intimidating for beginners yet your templates make this very very doable
For anyone that looks at this and is on the fence about it, let me tell you this: I just bought the instructions for this to start working on this week, and I was hesitant too. But after even a glance at the instructions, I can tell you it's what you want. It's exactly what I need, nothing more, nothing less.
ATTENTION! If you have questions for me to answer, please comment on the actual TH-cam page of the video. For some reason when you comment on my videos that are shared on Google+, I am unable to answer.
How much would it be for me to buy two from you? Msg me at basketballgodsCOC@gmail.com. Thanks, Lucas
dude can I buy one?
What do I do? I use €, not $
why is the template so expensive!!!!?????
people have to make money
TH-cam has apparently made some STUPID changes, making it very difficult for me to find and answer your comments. I am trying to figure things out so please be patient.
ikr its freaking crap!
cool ghost effect 1:34
David Guyton how did you do that
David Guyton ok
Do you have any measurements you can share with me?
I don't use a forge, or heat, or use complicated processes. I use mostly ordinary hand tools that can be found in almost any garage. Doing this is not measured with skill level; it is measured by your dedication to the project. ANYONE can do this, they just need to put the time in. Some will take longer than others (I take a lot longer than most, by the way)
Hi David, beautiful work. Never thought about putting my panel tools to this type of work before, but you make this look easy. Thanks for the tutorials.
Thank you so much for these videos, using the ballpeen hammer in a vice instead of the anvil was really helpful!
$4.99 is a steal for this. You are truly an artist and I shall be buying this template very soon! Seeing the finished product sent shivers down my spine, you have inspired me. I think I'll finally make that set of armor I've always wanted to make.
I second the idea for an armored boot! You do amazing work, especially for someone who just "experiments in their garage". I look forward to seeing what else you have in store!
Thank you! I have a few tutorials I am putting together now. I hope to have the next one up soon...and I am looking into boots and helmets. Get a lot of requests for both
@@DavidGuyton What do you use for materials?
Excellent! Glad to be inspiring to you. Good luck with your project and keep me posted on your progress
This is my favorite piece so far!! So beautiful! Such exquisite work, sir! I love it!!
wow are we just going to ignore the freaking ghostly face appearing behind him at 1:35
vise versa wtf, i just went back and saw that...its an image of a woman if u stop it right.
I see babe on the thumbnails
vise versa :0 wtf is that! wtf
Bruh...
It's scary that the ghost appears exactly as he is talking eyewear safety and the ghost has empty eye sockets. 0_0
Incredible work, and what a thorough tutorial on your process! Thanks very much for sharing, and for the template as well.
Thats so cool!
It's has something surrealist to see all these plates moving together so nicely.
At first, as it's all metal, you'd expect it to be an animatronic...but then you see it's the fluid moves of a real human's hand. Amazing!
Thanks for your explanation. Following your demostration and using some of my own ideas I made a gaunlet myself. Keep it up!!
PLEASE SHARE this video on your Google+ and other social media websites!
David Guyton could I make a suggestion for a helmet?
The "ghost" is a reflection. Notice how the light source is coming from in upper left front and the camera is viewing from the lower right front - exactly the path light would reflect. Also notice the glare from the upper left side of the safety glasses getting brighter as he pushed them up the bridge of his nose. Also notice that the movement of the "ghost" up and to the right corresponds to the exact movement of the safety glasses up and to the right. The room is dusty, and the lens probably has faint amounts of dust that are invisible most of the time, but are visible when illuminated at the right angle - like dust in a sun beam through a window. The perception that the dust reflection looks like a face is a case of pareidolia.

Thanks! Glad you liked it and I hope you enjoy your project!
This was only your second gauntlet?! Amazing. I thought you must have done this for a living to do such work. You have motivated me!
Yup, only my second time even working with metal. If I can do it, anyone can.
David Guyton
Great Job , thank you!
This is absolutely beautiful, great work man
well thank you very much
I can't thank you enough, this is matching my Halloween costume perfectly! I started a few months ago to make sure it comes out nice, and it's now done, definitely worth the money and work, thank you!!
Awesome! Happy to hear that!
I was a little stuck for a bit on my scrap/apocalypse style armor and this REALLY helped. THANK YOU!
This would be perfect for a zombie attack (walking Dead). thanks for sharing.
I can't remember exactly. Something like 2 weeks. Most people work much faster than me though, and can finish one in a few days.
Guys I am happy to answer all your questions, but please look through some of the comments first to see if I just answered them. Thanks!
Just downloaded version 2 gauntlet! Can't wait to get started. Thanks
Absolutely beautiful. It's a functional work of art. Artisans such as you are rare. Keep up the fantastic work. 1926lady
Hello. Beautiful work ! Please tell me, is it stainless steel or is it the finished product will rust? Thank you.
this one is stainless steel and brass, so it will not rust. I have moved on to mild steel in more recent projects though, since it is easier to work.
David Guyton Thank you.
+David Guyton how much would you charge to make me one?.....thanks!

Ted Burke Hi Ted... no idea why, but it will not allow me to reply to your comments on my videos. The cost of making a gauntlet will depend on what metal you choose, and how thick it is. For example, My Iron Man gauntlet is about $20 worth of 22ga stainless steel, and $19 gloves. For comparison, my Version 1 gauntlet is 18ga brass, and cost about $60 for the metal and $25 for the gloves.
roughly $20 for the stainless, $15 for the brass, and $13 for the gloves
you bet sir
Sir if you may will you go into a lot more detail as would be much appreciated by many that watch your videos thank you for your consideration
what details are you looking for? I will tell you anything you want to know
+David Guyton How much would it cost to have thick gage gauntlet made, i really like the glove design onf this one. maybe a bit more modern? PM me or reply here. thanks dude!!!

Thank you very much! It's about to get even better
DAVID, THERE IS A GHOST BEHIND YOU AT 1:32
Oh my god David there is a ghost behind you at 1:34!!!!
Tyler Holtz I have seen that thing. I refuse to believe it's real
David Guyton Did you ever see it in your house before I'm just curious
Nope. Didn't even see it in the video until months after it was uploaded
David Guyton beat it up with your armored gauntlets
hahah
I am 2 days into a build similar to this one. Making 1 finger a night, do not want to rush or burn myself out. Thank you for your inspiration.
BUILD YOUR OWN GAUNTLET! All of my templates are available at the following link. www.davidjguyton.com/gauntlettemplate.htm
ummm ghost behind you at 1:34.....
dsjkwr that's his goggles strap
Im sleeping with my head under the covers tonight
MathYu Uldyssian worry not! I know an exorcism, Buddhist warding as well as sealing, normal barriers, and so on
spoopy warning
dsjkwr holy shit
What's up with the face that appears behind you at 1:35?!
I just choose to ignore whatever that thing is. I have to sleep in this house.
David Guyton I know an exorcism, and I'm affordable
This is seriously cool, man. Excellent craftsmanship.
DUDE YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS. I been looking for a way to build armor with out a forge or heat. THANK YOU!
Did anyone else see the creepy face behind him at 1:35? o.o
IT MADE ME SHIVER, WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK?
whaha that ghost scared me xD
I know, right? Im sleeping with the light on tonight😰
Beautiful work and tutorial, hard to find good stuff like this one TH-cam.
yes that'll be fine and I'll send it out as soon as I see it. Make sure to let me know which template you need though.
Do you realize there's a ghost that appears at 1:33 to the right of your head? Who is that?
I have seen it. I refuse to believe it's real. I have to sleep in this house.
"Just tools you'd find in your garage, nothing fancy here"..... "cough" anvil "cough" : p
+Ben Turner well to be fair its not even a real anvil lol. Its made of cheap cast iron and probably was only 50 dollars.
+Ben Turner if you check his DIY armoring tools he says you can use a dumbell or any thing really heavy
Ben Turner i don't have a garage. that's where my problems begin xD
Pokemon Meister Ask a friend if you could use their garage.
You can find an okay anvil for small projects for less than $100. I go mine from Princess Auto and I've been making trinkets like miniature swords as gifts and whatnot.
it's totally feasible and pretty fun too. And when it's all finished and you can hold the thing in your hands...it's quite gratifying. I highly suggest attempting it.
Awesome watching you do armored boots would help a lot with the ysera cosplay I'm planning... You are so helpful thank you so much!
watch this video at 2x speed to save time.
You are totally ultra good man! I was like "WOW!"
can I just say I would love to see your props in tv and movies? they way that gauntley shines and how fluid it moves. Its just awesome
TH-cam won't let me post a link in the comments, but if you search for "Mighty Hammer Down", that is the first book in the series. It's free everywhere in Ebook format.
Well thank you very much! I do plan to keep doing these. I have some new tutorials coming soon
Yeah I am working on other armor videos. Will be posted soon.
Make this yourself! All of my templates are now available at armortemplates.com/
I'm really quite stunned by this David, you mention these gauntlets being your first foray into metal working... I've been metal working, sheet metal, welding, professionally and otherwise on and off for the past 20+ years and I'd be intimidated by this project. Watching you swing that hammer, you obviously have a very keen feel for the material... In the words of Johnny Cash "*Boy, you are a hammer swinger!*" Anyway, just wanted to say, professional or nay, I see a natural craftsman, lovely work. :)
Why thank you very much! That means a lot to me. I assure you though, even though these might seem a little intimidating, they really are not that difficult. I am 100% sure you could knock these out easily.
THANKS! first time someone answered my question! God Bless You! Greetings from Moldova:)
This is awesome! Thanks for being generous with your techniques.
i can't believe how smooth the gauntlet moves ... amazing job
Of course. I prefer people to ask questions here in the comments section so that everyone else can see the answers, but you can also PM me or email me too.
Beautiful.I could spend my whole life making cool suff like this.Thanks for the tutorial.
Purchased! Thank you for the awesome template and tutorial!
You're welcome! If you have any trouble along the way just leave a comment on the video and I'll answer ASAP. Enjoy your project!
20 gauge stainless. You can also use 22 gauge stainless if you like. If you use regular steel, I suggest 20ga for the fingers and 18ga for the rest. The nails are ordinary roofing nails. They are not soft...they just deform easily when hit over and over with a hammer.
I admire your craftsmanship.
thank you very much! Glad you liked it
Thank you all for making these armoring videos so popular! I am very grateful
You sir is awesome.
You've just inspired me to smith a gauntlet.
Gonna start making one right after my final exams. :)
Amazing piece of work, especially as it's only your second attempt! I am very impressed.
Thanks, that's a massive help, saves me from buying extra parts that arn't needed :)
Right now I'm doing the card prototype of your V 1 gauntlet, pretty confident I'm going to have to scale it down though
Amazing work, great tutorial, subscribed!
I'd love to see a helmet with a hinged face cover! Great video dude, I'm so impressed by how authentic they are.
well thank YOU! Good luck with your armoring projects
You are amazing. I admire your pacient and dedication
Just keep on going, as long as you make more, I'll be happy!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the project
You can get the template at the link under the video. It's a PDF file that you can print out and then trace onto metal
Love the way your mind works, great work.
why thank you sir!
Inspiring. Thank you for this video. I might give this a try some day.
Serious skills man! Two Thumbsup!!
Thanks for the help.I already assembled the finger parts in paper.I was just confused a bit with the knuckle plate now i can continue thanks again :)
Brilliant and inspiring! Thanks David.
Very nice work ,You've got talent ,keep it up.
Thank you. Great tutorial, excellent metal work.
Beautiful work...you are a true artist.
Feel free to use the tutorial to make up your own design. And if you do make up your own design, I won't assume I should get your hard work for free. Nor will I post comments on your videos about how I want your stuff for free.
Hi David Guyton, I hope you are doing well? WOW! Yep, I'm excited about running across your How to Make ??? any of your SUPER AWSOME Armor Tutorials. I am very inspired by your work. :D Your instructions and craftsmanship is OUTSTANDING! Thank you for sharing your videos and ideas. I hope you have a great day, have fun, and take care. Subscribed, Liked, Shared. AWOSOME Buddy! Keep on Crafting your passions. Peace & Joy
Well thank you very much! I have a lot of respect for you 1/6 scale guys....I don't know how you make things so small.
correct. Some go though the fingerplate, a leather strip, and the glove too...but most are just through the fingerplate and the leather strip.
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it
it depends on where they end up exactly. The only place that it might bother you is if a rivet ends up right at your fingernail. The lining inside the glove will help to hide the rivet some, but if a riven still bothers you, you can just get some very thin cotton gloves like they use in museums, etc and slip them on beforehand, or sew them into the actual leather glove after riveting.
This is gorgeous work.
You sir, are an artist.
I get my sheet metal from Ebay from a company called Shapiro Metals. I think their seller name is ssshapirometal. I paid about $20 plus shipping for the stainless steel (20ga, but you can use as thin as 22ga if stainless). Regular steel is much softer so you must use 18ga, 20ga for the fingerplates. Gloves were $13. Thinsulate brand from Walmart. Brass was about $20.
Well that's quite a compliment! Thank you!
Fantastic. Ill be trying this for sure. Thanks for the video
yes I will be adding more armoring video soon
Thank you! you're video was very helpful. I needed it for my AC cosplay costume for Comic-Con because Ezio has a gauntlet on his right arm (for anyone who was going to try and say he doesn't)
that would actually be a really fun build. If I had a buyer lined up, I would take that on.
