I make an armet helmet with two visors. They are called hundsgugel and bikok (biquoque, bicoquet)
Material - stainless steel.
Top - helmet 3mm
Helmet bottom - 2mm
Conical visor - 2.5mm
Convex visor - 2.5mm
Comforter - linen and synthetic winterizer
Photos of patterns will be posted on patreon, and in a month in a group on Facebook.
I live in Ukraine. Surely you know that the war has come to us. I'm lucky. I am relatively safe and I have both electricity and the Internet. So I can make videos. Our entire knight movement is now actively opposing rascism. Someone from the first days of the war is already in the military, someone is engaged in volunteering to cover the needs of the military or civilians in trouble.
With my creativity, I plan to collect donations to help my friends. Many I know personally. Therefore, I leave my details for those who wish to help.

absolutely love it... one extremely pedantic minor nitpick... technically this is a close helmet rather than an Armet. Armet's have swing out cheek pieces rather than singing down closed over the head like this.

@notfeedynotlazy Жыл бұрын

For almost any other kind of content, yes, that would be a pedantic minor thing - but for an _armorer's_ channel, likely to be watched by reenactors, armor enthusiast or even fellow amourers, it is neither pedantic nor minor but a very valid objection. I was kind of wincing, myself, when I saw that single-piece chinguard hinging upwards for the first time.

@user-gl7zi3ko8o Жыл бұрын

@@notfeedynotlazy i couldn't find English speaking sources, but according to Ukrainian wiki this type of Armet could be classified as 16s century Maximillian Armet. I'm not specialist just stating that there might be some information unfamiliar to you. Or not, you might be right. Just saying)

@notfeedynotlazy Жыл бұрын

@@user-gl7zi3ko8o Nope, my friend. There is considerable confusion among non-specialists betwen what is called in English a "close helmet" and what is called an "armet", but for those who _are_ specialists, there is none: if it has a single chin-piece that protects the chin and both cheeks and swings down in front of the face, it is a close (NOT "closed", close) helmet; and if it has TWO cheekpieces that hinge together to cover either cheek and meet at the chin, it is an armet. I *WISH* there were something so clear-cut when diferencing _other_ kinds of helmets. The line betwen (say) bascinets, sallets and barbutes is oftentimes quite blurry. So is betwen (say) close helmets and great bascinets (another kind of swing-down closed helmet - noitce again the diference betwen "close" and "closed"). But betwen armets and everything else, there IS that clear of a diference. If it does NOT split at the chin in two matching cheekpieces that lock over each other, is not an armet. Wikis are usually not a good source of info, too. Often are edited by non-experts who introduce all kinds of nonsense.

@user-gl7zi3ko8o Жыл бұрын

@@notfeedynotlazy well thank you for your time put in clarifying this question for me. On the related topic - one of the latest Slava's works is a Armet which has two cheekpieces as stated above. Hope you've already seen it and got great time while doing so! Wish you all the best.

@shockwave6213 2 жыл бұрын

Back then, the best smiths would actually make the entire skull part of the helmet out of 1 solid piece of steel without forge welding 2 halves together. They had specialized anvils to shape them like that. A good helmet could have taken an armor smith a good 2 or 3 weeks to complete. Even if that was their only project. But by the time these types of advanced armor came along, there were huge armor workshops that had a trip hammer running on water wheels and 15-20 Armourers working there. There were a bunch of these huge workshops in places like Paris, London, Prague, Milan, Vienna, Nuremberg and Augsburg. Basically in any major city in the middle ages.

@solarissv777 Жыл бұрын

@@shockwave6213 In one of his videos Slava told that he intentionally uses welded technology, as the steel on top of a raised helmet becomes too thin, and his main specialty is making armor for HMB, and he doesn't want his clients getting injured. Welding allows to have more or less same thickness along the whole helmet. He also makes a specialized tournament helmet "Gryphon", that is welded from more parts of different thickness, with the thickest being on top.

@cbrusharmy Жыл бұрын

@@solarissv777 It gets too thin because a lot of these guys dish a lot when they should raise, but raising is much more difficult and time consuming, and that requires more specialized skill as well. They aren't placing themselves in the highest quality reproduction-type market, so the necessary increase in pricing wouldn't suit most of their potential buyers. Generally speaking -- especially historically -- raising a helmet from a single piece of steel is the safer option, however this isn't a factor with solid, tested welds and modern techniques. The safety concern was not genuine answer, but a marketing one.

@solarissv777 Жыл бұрын

@@cbrusharmy the funny thing was that his last video was actually a raised helmet. But yes, I agree that it's mostly a cost cutting measure

I don’t know all the correct ways these historic pieces where put together but too me this guy is an Artisan or Craftsman that takes a lot pride I think in his work and like wow what a piece of art. From small Canadian town where we don’t have a major museum to see these pieces. My mother has been to the Tower of London on a trip few years back and took pictures of all of the medieval arms and armour for me but that’s no where near the same. That’s were KZfaq can be a wealth of knowledge. I don’t know but I think this guy built a beautiful recreation and has some major talent. 👍

It’s interesting that you do all of the heating with acetylene. Makes me wonder how it would have been done traditionally. I’d imagine larger pieces would have been heated in the forge, I wonder which method is more efficient. The forger would allow heat to be directed in small areas while at the same time keeping the entire piece “warm”.

@rdizzy1 Жыл бұрын

Because he does it all himself, back then when this armor was used, they had giant shops filled with people, tons of forges, each person doing a different step, it was not usually 1 person working by themselves. It would take way too long to do with a normal fire and coals.

Great video and great work but wouldn't a close helmet be a better term for this particular helmet due to it's opening mechanism of the bevor plate being the same pivot point as the visor rather than a split mandible that opens with hinges? (also I understand that close helmets are a type of armet and is modern nomenclature to create a further distinction but still)
