How to make cuirass. Forging armor. Forging steel medieval cuirass. This is a medieval defense against a sword, ax, halberd. Armor of the knight. No words, voice , music like Freerk Wieringa , Torbjörn Åhman , Rune Malte Bertram-Nielsen, Black Beard Projects
An Armor smith from the Medieval period somehow travels in time to the 21st century and continues in his passion.
Looks insanely hard to make. Now imagine folks forging a knight's armor 700 years ago.
Makes you realize why full plate armor cost as much as a house
700 years ago they still had power hammers. They were powered by waterwheels but a lot of the process hasn’t changed over the years
Well they had pretty brutal tools back then as well, machine-like hammers and such but usually the blacksmiths were in the service of the king and the materials were hard to come by.
I'm sure you could just look it up on CZcams back then too
@@Kingdomkey123678 not likely though. There's very few places in Europe where you have streams that are right for water wheels. And usually water wheels were used for the general good. Since they are incredibly expensive marvels of engineering. It's not until the industrial revolution that water wheel power was used for smithing purposes. And it was mainly smithing for trains or mass market things. For anything sensible you'd just have a few guys with hammers.
This is too fucking cool. You have to give this guy the credit of not only having an incredible skill set with regards to metal shaping but also putting together a great and comprehensive video demonstration.
I love the end result but so much hammering is why I gave up ever becoming an armorer myself lol
whats so bad about hammering
@@cohenposey7495 it takes sooooooo long
I think one of the craziest things about this is that even though all of his presses and dies and stuff make the job 20x easier, a medieval blacksmith would do every single one of these things just with an anvil and hammer, and maybe a few hand-made dies stuck in the anvil.
He would have a lot of help too. Someone to keep the forge going, others working on different pieces, making the chain mesh, re-heating each piece, cutting out the pieces, and carrying it to the blacksmith for forming. I can picture a shop-like atmosphere rather than as in the old West movies where there is just a blacksmith working alone. I have seen a video of making chain mesh and it is literally one link at a time, woven into a large piece.
Most of the machine tools used here can be created with wood, leverage and gravity. I don't know if there is any evidence of smiths using them, but they are certainly possible for even a basic carpenter to construct with 2x4s.
before mechanisation came child and indentured labour. mass education emphasises reading and writing; apprenticeship didn't need it. so nothing recorded but the armour made speaks for itself. a lot of labour under strict supervision.

What a gifted individual. It isn't as if there are old hands about from whom you can learn the techniques!
The modern armoring community is not that large, but we are around.
Thank you for setting up this channel. I greatly appreciated it so I can concentrate on what you are doing instead of reading subtitles. I also greatly enjoy as well all the stories and information that yo provide on your others channel .
You are so incredibly talented-not just in terms of your armorsmithing, but also videography and editing. I wish you and your fellow countrymen the best of success and luck.
This man's skill never ceases to amaze me and I can see even with such edited footage the time and cost to make such a beautiful piece. The retail cost no doubt considerably more than a Burton's made to measure suit (lol).
Your work is sensational, I can't imagine creating something as perfect as that. I imagine what it must have been like in the Middle Ages and Renaissance to make any armor. If creating chain mail already seems absurd, imagine armor in the Middle Ages, the ingenuity is simply incredible. Sensational, and congratulations :)
That homemade planisher is outlandish
As one tin basher to another, I salute you.
Cuirass protects the belly and ribs ☝️ Gorget protects the neck and chest and collarbone ☝️ Two separate pieces of armor. The human body needs to be able to bend for movements. When you see a full cuirass that covers the entire chest and stomach, no movements allowed, and only for display
It's amazing to see how far your video production skills have come. That awesome leather apron also hadn't yet appeared!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for posting these videos, keep going!
Excellent tool work and superb collection of formed toolings.
No music! I love it! Great video.
I wish I knew more about what you’re doing though.
Would love a commentary over the top of videos like this. Explaining what your doing at each step would really help.
Amazing craftsmanship...i love it!
Skill , precision and a lot of 🔨⚒️
Отличный канал вы создали, случайно набрёл и сразу подписался). Хорошая работа и подача материала! Дай бог вам здоровья и удачи в делах! По больше таких видео!) Ещё раз спасибо за ваши видео процесса изготовления!! Я сам начинающий кузнец и смотрю как работают такие мастера как вы. Очень познавательно, ещё раз всех благ!
Sweet Jesus so much cold forging, that looks like so much work, great work thought!
Great craftsmanship
Looks great!!
now imagine if the customer also request the armor to be gold-gilded and added with an engraving as finishing
if i had the time, money, and space I would no joke just go into my garage and just start trying to make shit. I have always loved armor and seeing how its made was so much simpler than I thought it was (though i am sure there's still more to learn) at the moment I wanted to challenge myself with a pretty basic but both challenging and cheap goal of making a cardboard armor set and see how I do. If I finish and how well I do will make me decide if I want to spend money for the equipment and start making real steel armor for a profit and personal use. Wish me luck, I have a cuirass (its crude and needs a bit of fine tuning at the moment) pauldrons, gauntlet, basic shield, crude great helm (needs adjustment to help head movement), and next is the leg armor.
So here's the thing, im willing to bet there is an armorer near you, if you join the United League of Armorers on Facebook, you can ask if there are any smiths near you, and I can just about guarantee that there's one close that can teach you
@@countbyran thank you dude.
Just love all these videos. I'm studying medeival history at the moment and watching this is just marvellous thank you ❤
sadly what he makes is rennaissance armor. not medieval :D that's why it has a hole in the folds for the codpiece to stick through ;D
I love your videos, keep posting
Thanks!
Excelente, eres lo máximo. ❤❤❤👽
I love your homemade tools, is it possible to order XD from you
Dude you make some absolutely beautiful armor like I have very specific and realistic wants in the way armor looks and you seem to nail it every time
Beautiful brother I want one
Awesome work. Now you can go to battle.
Best 30 minutes
My toxic trait is seeing this and thinking:"Yeah, I could make this."
Same, except *I will*
Nah, your toxic trait is thinking "Yeah, I could make this without practice, completely perfectly right the first time."
There's no such thing as skill without training.
Love the videos! Nice work! Do you have plans for the planishing hammer that you'd be willing to share? Keep up the great work!
I didn't see this video nice
Lulz, dual wielding hammers, haven't seen that before :P
I just don't know how they do it. I coukdnt draw it on paper never mind make it. Just fantastic skills.

This is the proper form of cuirass. Shoulder requires movement. So breastplate only covers chest to stomach. Not the shoulders or collar bone area. What u see with modern cuirass breastplates handicap your longsword grip movements
I've done metal fabrication with machinery i want to learn how with hammer and heat similar to the 1100 ad to 1400 ad that would be fun
Do you have a shop?
Love your work! Keep going
Смотрю и думаю, сколько же нужно было парней с молотками, чтобы оснастить армию парней с мечами.
is this a panel beating workshop that does fun stuff on the weekends or is there a market for full time medieval armour production? either way, awesome artistry.
There is a market for medieval armour production! Plenty of full time armourers out there.
ну это лайк
Спасибо! Но вы же видели все эти видео на основном канале :)
Как вам вариант без слов и музыки?
@@howtomakearmor мне лично больше заходит именно со словами и музыкой а этот я поддерживаю чтобы хоть и немного но больше людей заметили этот канал включая основной и как минимум оценили а этот наверное для любителей асмр)
@@H0RtiDICK Я просто поражаюсь как некоторые авторы ничего не говоря в кадре собирают миллионы. Вот например

В виде эксперимента решил сюда закидывать заготовки без голоса. А на основной канал уже чистить и как-то интересно сводить
Покупатели на такие вещи находятся? Не дешёвое наверное удовольствие.
What is the thickness or gauge of that metal? I'm curious what the range would be between function and I guess when the weight would make it unfunctional
1/16 gauge
1.6 mm
@@mariajosefacarlon5184 thanks
I think the thickest cuirass used was 9mm at its thickest point
@@Themanwiththeplan1899 wow. That must have been pretty heavy

Why do chest plates bulge out at the bottom? Is there a specific reason why they are made that way?
Yes, it’s because without the bulge the edge of the chest plate would cut into your skin or anytime you bend forward. Even if the metal is smooth and rounded it will still dig in and potentially cut off circulation. Hope this answers your question.
Also, the bulge allows more room for any weight gain.
Just remembered this: the bulge can also be used as a small storage area (coin purse, a small loaf of bread, documents, etc.)
What's that yellow machine called?
Is any of this armor for sale?
do you sell these?
Nice video but the soundmixing is cruel. The dB differences are waaaaay too big.
You should also really consider changing your cutting style. Sometimes you show a lot of slow progress and document every little bit of it wich lengthens the video a lot and sometimes you speed scenes up so much that the progress isn't even noticable.
Wow...Just wow! Stay save, Bro!!! Slava ukraini!!
How much do you charge for a mild steel gorget?
What material?
steel, duh
I really want to make 1 as well out of tungsten but I don't think there are any tools I can handle the high temperature of Red hot tungsten...
Does anyone have any ideas how to do it?
That would be very heavy
would not work to brittle would crack if hit hard
Tungsten is too brittle
Just came to my mind: Gaining weight might have been a problem for a knight...

We built pyramids.....Labour was cheap
when in north alpine europe wehre pyramids build??!?!

Now do it shirtless and sweaty
im not sure but this steel does look too thick to work with to be historical, i mean you had even to heat it sometimes to work, id imagine most of the armor shaping was cold and they didnt have powered hammers, also the breastplace does look too small , lots of his body still exposed ny the piece that should be the thickiest and cover most of the front. that neck thing and the two smal lround things look out of place somehow.
Where did he say historical? Are you a historian? Just a little bit of research showed me that he was actually using fairly historical methods. They didn't have angle grinders either, nor bench grinders. Of course he was using more modern tools. But they did use rollers and such, and general shapes were formed with cold forging but would often heat areas that required a finer adjustment in order to forge them to their correct shape.
I'm sure whether or not the plate was too thick is subjective. I'm sure there were thicker and thinner plates.
@@Epiphalactic they would make it thicker on the center and front of a breastplate, limbs and other places where thinner, he could be doing it better, theres lot of things he should be considering but ain't, looks ok but it lacks the form and finesse historical armor has, the armor shaping was mostly cold, the properties you want in a piece of armor are different from what you want in a sword, even with tools, if you watch other armosmiths on youtube you see theres much he can improve, if the armor isn't perfectly shaped/thick and fallowing the forms people made in medieval times, sure it will still be better than nothing, but it might hurt you/make you sore/tire you needlessly / be cumbersome and obstruct your movement, just compare what he did with what other armorsmiths do, id never try to do reenacment combat nor jousting in this armor, but he can get there. just compare what he did with a milanese suit (wich was a simple mass produce late medieval era armor) he should be trying to achieve that first before trying to inventing, just my opinion tho.
@@felipeaugusto6991 this, if I am correct, is a late 16th century design, and it is pretty historically accurate. Milanese armour was NOT mass produced, that was three quarters, or Munitions armour, which the lower class, or poorer men at arms used.
this steel armor could survive a 5v5 or a skirmish in buhurt since it is 3mm
@@graemesmith6599 it is not just the thickness, but the form, how it sits and transfers energy, and the quality of the material, what im saying is that by comparison with historical armors this is not a good fit, if i were him id try to learn/copy from historical armor much more, or go with a easier kind of armor to fit like a coat of plates or brigandine, it looks off in general and ofc some armor is better than no armor, but there are things you must get right or you will hurt yourself even with armor, and thickness is really important where it is needed, if you do it all around you will get a suit that tires you and with unproper fit it can even hurt yourself, much a like a sword without proper form it will be much less effective.
TOO FUCKING COOL!!!!
