  • In this armoring tutorial I’ll show you how to make a highly decorated vambrace including etching and brass parts. Vambraces / forearm guards are part of medieval plate armor meant to protect forearm.
    Most of the vambrace is made from 1,5 mm steel. In this project I wanted to learn more about metal etching and armor mobility. One of the key features of plate armor is it’s mobility.
    Watch the tutorial and learn to make armor yourself! You can use it in cosplay or just decoration and it’s a fun fay to learn some metalworking.

    Hey garage knight I’m planning on making a great Helm Similar to the one you made but I had a few questions on the template you have. I do have to say I am incredibly grateful for the fact that you gave your temples out because they are so hard to find!!

    Have you ever tried that coating technique with bronze? I was wondering if that would work too

      Thank you! No I haven't, but it's metal paint so I think it should work just fine.

    This looks good.I want to make bear claw style vambraces like ones the stormcloaks were wearing myself,but the problems is those talons.

    • @GarageKnight
      @GarageKnight  Před 2 lety

      Thanks! I got some inspiration from those. I think those talons need welding equipment to attach

    • @mordur2739
      @mordur2739 Před 2 lety +1

      @@GarageKnight I think like that too,but the problem i an armor itself.I think these talons would be used in a fight as a knuckles but the point is these would easily break attached only to a metal sheat. My idea is adding some knuckle like rings to the bottom of fingers as a second attachment,but that's only theorical.

    • @GarageKnight

      Yeah you might be right, I haven't welded so I don't know.

    You should probably switch to a water baking soda (soda not powder) mix. That way you are not making anymore chlorine gas.

    Magnifique ! Pourquoi chauffez vous la pièce de métal lorsque vous utilisez la brosse métallique ? C'est pour mieux polir ?

    • @GarageKnight
      @GarageKnight  Před 2 lety +1

      Merci beaucoup! I need to use the heat to transfer the brass to the steel. When I use the heat, small particles of brass come off from the brass and form a layer on the steel

      The brass is just for decoration. Steel is cheaper and stronger than brass, so I like to coat steel with brass rather than use brass
