So should i gather the raid party or will you, cause i dont know this clan very much

holy shit me too

Neil Crandall ha....

Neil Crandall i love that game it looks like what a dragon priest would wear

Every time I see this I think of the Bend Will shout

Glad you like the videos! Welcome aboard!

Sounds interesting! Send me a pic of what you come up with.

I have leather laying around from previous projects. Pretty sure I got it all on ebay, with some from my sister's collection of stuff. Leather gloves either from ebay or sometimes Walmart. They have Thinsulate brand which works well (although they only carry them in the winter months). My metal I generally get from Ebay as well, from Shapiro Metals (ssshapirometals is the seller name). You can also do a search in your area for a metal supply. They can typically get you stainless for about half what you pay online.

Does this guy seem like he wouldn't already know about jeweler's saws? 🙄

Its a bit late for this response but for anyone else that's also late, he purposefully doesn't use any specialist tools if it can be avoided as to not scare new people away.

I use both roofing nails and common nails, but mostly roofing nails. All you have to do is cut them off a little above the surface of the metal, and then hammer down on top. I have a mini tutorial on rivets here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oeCIe7yQ1LjSpYU.html

You could add a little metal if you wanted, however keep in mind that your other fingers need to be able to move around the ring. I think of this as more aesthetic than functionally protective.

thanks for the reply :)

+clark davis that's certainly a great way to retire an old computer!

love ALL your stuff, great way to spend some time after 2 heart attacks within a 75 day span tho. But Im doin Some what better.

That's good to hear. I wish you all the best with your health and your armoring!

thanks

@LanaLeon You're very welcome Lana!

the first book in the series is free in ebook format everywhere! Title is Might Hammer Down

+David Guyton i will defenetly buy the template for this thank you

i will give you $20 to make me 10

I mostly use whatever I find in the garage. The roofing ones are galvanized, but these are finish nails. Not stainless steel though,

I personally like to use a copper dowel and cut it with some hefty bolt cutters.

I will do that, but I explain it pretty well in my Version 1 Gauntlet Revisited video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9qHhpt4x9OwqKM.html

thanks :)

Bro same

+Twisted Endings Productions No but you can check out my DIY Armoring Tools video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idNpYMt33M-RkYE.html to see the stuff I use. Also, I don't hide any special tools or trick from the camera. All of the videos show exactly what tools and methods I use to make each piece of armor.

Thanks for the quick response, and the great info you provide your viewership.

Ray Sanchez Any nail will work for a rivet, or you can just use steel rod. You just need to make sure that the hole that you drill is slightly bigger than the shaft of the nail/rod. To make a rivet you need to put the nail/rod in a vise and hammer the top of it down around the edges until it mushrooms out slightly. Then place it though the holes in the parts, and repeat the mushrooming process for the top side. I do this many times throughout most of my videos, so watch one or two of the other ones and you will see how I do it.

Copper and silver should be about the same as far as cutting goes. 18ga is hard to cut in steel but for copper or silver it's pretty easy.

David Guyton thank you! I found the template to be very informative too.

I have it complete, but I no longer have the program I use to put them into a PDF file. I need to purchase it again. I hope to have it available before Monday.

send me an email Jack. d@davidjguyton.com

That's called an awl. It's just basically a really pointy thing with a handle. You could just as easily use a nail

+Ægir Bladeworks I have some solution to blacken stainless steel but I have shied away from using that. Never used anything other than paint. I like the paint because it's safe and easy

Yes!

you could try copper, but it will likely not stand up to a lot of abuse. Brass is harder, but it's also brittle after hammering and difficult to use as rivets. If you are having problems with the nails bending over as you hammer them, try shortening the rivet (you don't need much material coming through the hole). Also, take care to hammer with the rounded side of a ball peen hammer, and hammer only around the edges. It takes a bit of practice but nails are a very easy way to rivet once you get the hang of it.

Will try thank you

Thank you for your help David guyton I just finished it isn't perfect or pretty but it's not bad for first try thanks again for pointers and help.

yes that's not a problem at all. Send me an email at d@davidjguyton.com

David Guyton thank u soo much Mr guyton

for something this small, yes, you can get small sheets of brass at a hobby store. For most of my other stuff, you'll need bigger pieces than a hobby store will have. I usually buy online at Amazon or eBay, but you can also get sheet metal at Lowes or Home Depot, or a metal supplier in your area

+Lone Bear Survival Any nails with a flat heat will work for rivets. I just used whatever I could find in the garage

ah ok because i tried it and they always folded over ! maybe they are to long..!?

typically that is the cause, yes. Try making them a little shorter. Also try to focus your hammer hits around the edge to get a real "mushroom" shape going. Don't hammer straight down on the top of it or you will often get that folding over effect.

for something this small, literally a few dollars.

David Guyton Where might I be able to get it? I don't have a credit or debit card so ordering is kinda tough

Can't help you much if you don't have a credit card. I can't find it anywhere locally, and I buy it online. If you have PayPal, you can get it from Ebay. That's where I get mine.

All right, thank you. Great job with these designs

If you don't have a debit or credit card you can use a temporary one from walmart if needed.

na loja deles so vende os negosso marcados pra vc fazer

I am actually trying to put together some giveaways, and I would like to give it away. However I have learned that there are a lot of strict rules about holding contests and giveaways. I am still trying to look into that

+superbryerbros generally online, sometimes Lowes or Home Depot

You can drill your holes before bending the metal, or if you need to bend it first, you can put it over a piece of wood that fists inside of the shape. In this case, a dowel rod

@@DavidGuyton drill before bending seems quite hard, but how can I grab it and makesure it is not moving? cause the ring is quite soft

CrimsonAnihilator haha well, I need to promote my books somehow

Yes, available for all ebook reading devices like Kindle, iPad, Sony Reader, etc. If you don't have a device like that, there is also an option to download the books in HTML format, which allows you to read it from your computer.

+Missy Rabbit I made a video for that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idNpYMt33M-RkYE.html

David Guyton thank you

it could probably be done, but they are thin and will be hard to use.

ok

Only place I can find brass is online.I use ebay

ah ok, thanks

Once it's dry it's durable enough. Over time, it will wear off at some of the edges, but this will look completely natural when it happens.

+vlad nemteanu I never said this template was free. It includes all 3 of my books for free.

+David Guyton oh sorry for that am not S-o good with my english my fault sorry again

+David Guyton Buț i really like your videos

up his or her br-ASS that quality pun

probably only about $10 for this one. Maybe even less

+David Guyton OK I think I am going to try this one out then. I have never built something like this before. BTW I really enjoy your videos.

One more question. Except for brass, which metals would work best and how thick should they be ? Would bronze work well ?

bronze is fine but it's very very rare and a lot more money than brass. You can use any metal you like, really. Steel or brass or stainless steel are the common metals for this stuff. 20 gauge, 18 gauge or 16 gauge for thickness

Ok I am going to try this out. Since I dont have any power tools, is 1mm thick stainless steel ok? I live in Germany and gauge isnt really used here. It would be between 18 and 20 gauge thickness.

+Taylor Kingct fantasy novels. Kind of like 300 meets Lord of the Rings. Look up "Mighty Hammer Down" on Amazon and check out some of the reviews.

+David Guyton Also whats the music you use in all of your videos i think it was armor of arius but when i search it i get biblical songs

That's because I made the songs myself and they are not popular enough to show up in searches. both songs (the older one "Armor of Arius" and the new one "Calm Amid the Raging Waters") are available at www.armortemplates.com

I don't typically do that because I am so slow at making armor. That's why I do tutorials and templates instead. I will sometimes sell the pieces I make for the videos, or I may do some contests or giveaways. I have to think about it.

I was thinking more the smaller ones like the Ring. It seemed the longest thing was the liquid to dry. Yeah defiantly think about it, I would be very interested.

+Joe Howard It should be free huh? Do me a favor and don't buy anything from my website. Thanks.

soorrry, if you look at complexity. should be free. should being the key word. but its not. still can't find the ring template. sorry.

found it. is it us dollars

Do not buy anything from my site. My site is for people who work hard and appreciate the hard work of others.You can always use the tutorials to come up with your own design.

okay then. no 2.99 for you then

+Ash Potato Roll your edges, some of his other videos talk about it. You'll have more structure to it as well avoiding cutting risks. : )

+NoNamesLeftFuk sweet thanks!

xXShadowXxOmega rivets are easy to use

DissectedPig at the time I didn't realize how easy rivets were to use. I know how to use them now.

Kareem Hamadeh seriously man, just look up jewelry stores in your area
