- In this video I take a look at how I do armour articulation in elbows.
There is a great deal of mystery around articulated armour that, in a great many cases, is simply unwarranted. While simple enough to do, they can take practice to be able to really get to grips with.
This video takes a look at the essential steps required to make an articulation that works smoothly, remains closed throughout its motion and gives you a full range of movement.

Dave's work is lovely, he captures the smooth aesthetic of the armour, matching it to the human form in ways rarely matched by many of today's armourers. I'd recommend seeking out his work on the url above and Facebook.

What I like about you is that you don’t mind how much time you spend on making armour, but just does it to educate your viewers. That’s the definition of a good channel.
Did the neighbor buy a plane to keep flying over you´re house. You know, like some sort of revenge for all the hammering ? xD :D
Most likely knowing them :)
Very useful video - Thank you for sharing the process! I intend to build an equivalent in digital 3D so understanding the armour mechanics is crucial to implementing it correctly!
Another great video sir! Most helpful armour channel on the internet that's for sure! Can't wait for the next one keep up the good work.
Kind of you to say so, thanks. Just trying to think of the sorts of things I wanted to see when I started out or TBH was just generally interested in metal work. Feel free to tell your neighbours ;)
I'd like to thank you, kind sir, for putting up those videos on the internet, you are the only channel here actually helpful and explaining all these techniques that me and my friend so desperately need to make our armour.
I hope many more videos will come and that there will be more people interested in your videos.
Have a wonderful day.
Thankyou very much.
I want to make a cool robot, with fully articulated joints, and this vid showed me just how to make that really troubling joint
The way you work and explain this is just awesome :) Thank you very much
Thanks very much :)
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Can’t imagine how much time you spared to transfer your knowledge to the audience. Than you very much!
my pleasure mate, I'm learning all the time, so I update videos from time to time with new techniques or things I have learnt along the way.
Outstanding video. Very instructive. No fluff. No BS. Just great craftsmanship and information. Thanks for making it! Look forward to learning these techniques.
Rick, thanks very much and all the best as you get stuck in.
Good video.
I wish you creative inspiration.
i was never so happy to find a new yt chanell where you have been my whole life ?
* instant subscripcion *
Thanks, John. Welcome aboard, hope you find it useful :)
I cant prise you enogh for what you doing its great and wery helpful god blles you
Gracias, me ayudaste mucho a hacer mi armadura
I like your huge chunk of wood for dishing. Is this some hard wood or can it be soft like pine or spruce as well?
I was missing the slight curve, thanks man
cheers, I'm glad it helped. This is something I am still learning about, the first step is the slight curve, but the main movement comes from the poleyn/couter shape. I've been meaning to do a follow up on this with what I have learnt since. Good luck :)
Outstanding video that is especially helpful now, as I'm planning to make my first knee armor ever! Also I want to ask, what's the wooden block with the holes called?And where can I get one? Thank you.
I bought the block of wood from Sydenhams and just chiselled the dips into it. Get a hardwood, like oak, and have at it. I've done a couple of dishing stump videos that you can find on my channel, simply search dishing stump and you should get two videos. Good luck and shout if I can help.
Does this technique of curving also work for hand pieces of a gauntlet for example the knuckle plate and the wrist articulation parts?
Mr Poool it does just go steady and shallow otherwise it looks kind of bloated.
Great Videos, I already learnt so much from them. Keep them coming please!
The process would be more or less the same for poleyns, right?
Pretty much the same, although you frequently don't need to go as 'pointy' but it all depends on the style of the original you're working from. Thanks for the encouragement, I'll do my best :)
Greenleaf Workshop Thank you very much!
I ask because I want to try making some leg armour when I am finished with my Coat of plates.
Stay safe!
I can’t believe I’ve never found you before
Are the techniques for making the lames for faulds on a breastplate similar to the techniques shown on this video?
Are there any other considerations have to be made to make a functional and good-looking piece?
Similar(ish) the top most lame needs to be gently curved along its length so it starts the natural fall of the plackart rather than sliding away from the body. The next lame should fall off it with a slight dish then they can be flatter, I will try and get a picture together for you and pop it up a bit later.
Hello again! This time around, I was shocked to catch a detail I missed during the prior iterations. The process You´re doing from 32:00 on, at 33:12 You say it is something one wouldn´t readily do with, say 1040? This might be a larger answer than I hope, buuut... how then would it be done? Or is it just a matter of normalizing every once in a while, instead of hammering the dish out in one go? Much appreciated!
I said it to cover me more than anything, some people get very prickly if you move carbon steels without heat. YOu can move them about a bit but they need normalising after a while or they can pull things in ways that don't make sense, or even crack. But it becomes fairly self evident after a while.
would this apply to a leg harness as well?
The articulation works more or less the same way, the cuisse plate is a bit different but below the poleyn is pretty straight forward.
I know this video is old but I think anyone doing this sort of thing should look into getting some clecos to eliminate threading the nuts on and off who knows how many times.
Hi there, I used to use a UK version of them, but found they didn't always fit, so I just switched across to nuts and bolts and preferred them. I know a few folk use clecos and love them though :)
you kept saying carbon steel... do you mean spring steel or stainless?
CArbon steel for me is a catch all for higher carbon steels like C45 (UK). I avoid stainless when I can, my joints hate the stuff and I find it horrible to work with and not nice to look at. BUt I get it that other folk love the stuff :)
Where are you located if you don't mind me asking
No worries. UK along the south coast in Hampshire.
+Greenleaf Workshop do you have a website ?
Yes, you can find me here:

Hope that helps :)
What kind of steel do you use in your armour?
Depends entirely on the job tbh. But most of the videos are mild steel as I can think a bit more about the videoing than the armouring as it moves a lot easier than carbon steels.
In this video its 16g for the vouter and 18g for the lames.
@@GreenleafWorkshop I wasjust wondering because im just now starting out within making armor and I see a lot of people using mild steel and was wondering if that is correct for the period.
@@nemisous83 Depends on the period, but the date for hardenable materials keeps on moving earlier and earlier. However, I would suggest learning your trade with mild steel as it is very forgiving.
@@GreenleafWorkshop thats what i was thinking. I wanted to start off with maybe some munitions grade armor and work my way up to some of the nicer stuff.
Someone is scouting an air raid on your shop.
would seem about right. :)

I didn't know that, thanks.
Splendidly to see Woodglut have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.
Super Mega like Thankyou so Much Sr ....!!!
