Hey, i know you made this quite a few years ago, and probably aren't answering questions anymore, but where do you buy your steel. I cannot find steel for a reasonable price, and what size do you think i'd need for this project.

@GarageKnight 10 күн бұрын

Hi! You can count the exact amount of steel you need by printing the templates and measuring from them. I buy the steel from a local hardware shop, so I can't really help on that. But here multiple hardware shops sell steel sheets and they are quite cheap. I know there are online shops like amazon but I haven't used them

@lylahsworld3930 10 күн бұрын

Alright, thank you. For the templates, there should be 4 curved ones, 2 front ones and 2 back ones?

@GarageKnight 10 күн бұрын

@@lylahsworld3930 Yeah the first page is the lower back plate, the second page is the lower front plate. Third page is the upper part of the helmet. It's identical on both sides (front and back). Notice that there's only half of the template on each page, since they wont fit on one A4 (like shown in those images).

I am planning a weapon decoration project and your video was very inspirational. Thanks.

@macdeath69 Ай бұрын

Very interesting video, but what is the metal used for the plate ? Is it Stainless steel, aluminium, zinc or any other stuff ?

@GarageKnight Ай бұрын

It's basic mild steel, no coating

This is a really great effect. The spray paint is genius. I have a lazer cutter machine which I think might work on the spray paint (not sure) but I used tape before and had problems with residue which altered the look.

What are the advantages to Stell and Aluminium would you say? Is there any other metals you work with. Sorry for all the comments, I just discovered your channel and I am binge watching all your videos because they are so enjoyable.

@GarageKnight Ай бұрын

No problem I'm glad to answer and help out and nice to hear to hear you like my channel! I have worked mostly with steel and also with copper and brass. I have tried aluminium but it's pretty soft compared to steel. But it's also easier to work with, so it does have that advantage. Copper and brass are also more soft than steel, but not as soft as aluminium, and copper and brass make good decorative pieces!

@@GarageKnight Thanks for your comment! Do you treat the steel with anything to stop it corroding or do you buy it pre-treated?

@GarageKnight Ай бұрын

@@XxKINGatLIFExX I use simple steel polishing paste to prevent corrosion, it also gives a nice shine. My builds haven't corrored at all, brass can get a bit darker, but you can polish it again anytime you want. Of course, if you use them outside and they get exposed to dirt and water, then you need to clean them. Many people who larp etc, use some kind of oil to keep the rust away. And I suggest you only use simple mild steel that hasn't been treated in any way. Some metals like zinc-plated steel will release toxic fumes if you heat treat them or might release small particles even from just hitting them with hammer. So always research the stuff you are going to use.

You earned a sub! great content, a few points for feedback which I think would help me enjoy the video better: 1 - Defintely show more footage of the final product. We want to see it, and they are worth showing off! 2 - Please could you use Google translate to help get a better translation, sometimes the text can be a little hard to make sense of. 3 - I would quickly list the materials and tools needed as it will help people get ready if they want to follow along. Either way, great videos and I love your relaxed and humble approach to it. Is great to see, keep up the great work and awesome designs!

@@GarageKnight thanks just was curious, I’m going to check my local hardware store and I did find two diff rivets on Amazon a copper one and screw on ones only reason I’ll use some screw ones is for a section where I’ll put some electronics to house in so I’ll be able to unscrew for maintenance or change batteries.

So is that a 1:5 salt water ratio and an equal amount vinegar to water?

@GarageKnight 3 ай бұрын

To be cleat it's 1:5 salt to liquid ratio. Liquid can be water or vinegar or mix of those two. For some reason vinegar gets better results 4:07

How long did it take you to make? Do you think the armour is functional or is it more of a cosplay item?

@GarageKnight 3 ай бұрын

Tens of hours but I can't remember the exact time since only worked few hours here and there. And it is functional and not just a cosplay piece since it works like the historical version did. But it doesn't of course offer the same kind of protection that you would get from some more advanced medieval armors.

Wouldn’t this cause the metal to get cold-worked and start to crack?

It's weaker of course than heat treated steel, but this is made from mild steel like some of early helmets and mild steel can't really be heat treated. It won't crack but it might bend.
