Your videos are so well put together! It's an interesting thought that medieval blacksmiths went through this same process.

Thanks Ben! We actually went into a little more detail on the use of patterns historically but chose not to include it in this video. But we will probably release that in a different video later on doing more of a dive into how they approached patterning historically

Been at it since the early 90's. I use six-ply railroad board 22"x28"....keeps its shape better and you can form a crease by using a steel ruler and hard presses with a pen and gently fold it over and 'set' the crease real good on a flat surface with a wood ruler. I find making patterns quite enjoyable, and it is often where most of my time is spent. Favorite pens, rulers, and this and that. I never use a pencil or the paper brads though, so we differ in that. After years, it becomes a lot easier, and you pick up your own little nit-picky ways of doing it. And like carpenters say: measure twice and cut once, but in the armourer's case, it is measure 25 times and cut once, and you will spend hours at the drawing table doing just that. But it is enjoyable, and the reward comes at the very end when a piece is finished. Edit: The blue painters tape is much better, at least for me. You can never have too much blue painters tape sitting around. Use it to pattern tassets, faulds, or transfer contoured shapes to paper, to then be refined, ok I'm giving you one cheat too many.... 😉😂

I'm so glad I just found your channel! There simply isn't enough good information on how to make authentic armor

This video was very educational. look out manilla folders, I'm coming for you.

@IronCrownWorkshop Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it Seth! They are such a great hack. You can by 50 or 100 of them from officeworks. And they have a nice weight to them. Proper drafting paper is better but it's not a bad alternative

Very helpful thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge! When I started out i thought that making patterns was black magic.

So glad it helps. But I have a secret... it still is a dark art haha. But an awesome one

because I am a poor collage student, I just adapt free patterns online and cereal boxes to make my patterns. this video is very helpful for me to create my own patterns soon. I'm not sure if I have the mentality yet though...

@IronCrownWorkshop Жыл бұрын

So stocked this breakdown was helpful for you Taku! Keep experimenting! How much tooling is not what makes good armour, it's a good eye and appreciation for detail. Mentality takes time and experience. The more you test your adapted patterns and use critical thinking to make changes with each attempt the better you will become as an artisan and as an armourer overall. Failing to get it perfect is not failure at all. Its a necessary step called learning. Once you get over the fear of that that is where the real fun begins

Building armor for my 3D character and your channel is a great resource. Cheers!

So glad to hear this! Could you tell us a bit more about what you are designing?

@memnok9980 Жыл бұрын

@@IronCrownWorkshop I am making a real-time medieval 3d character for my portfolio and UE5. Trying to keep the armor closer to 15th century English design as that closely follows my genealogy studies.

how would I pattern items like elbow cops without losing its shape

@IronCrownWorkshop 9 ай бұрын

What type of elbow are you trying to make?

@kimberleywhite3188 9 ай бұрын

@IronCrownWorkshop I'm aiming to make a completely rounded cop with a bit of inner protection, however I'm aiming to not have any seaming so a single solid piece is ideal
