Hrm unknown how i missed this? The algo gods failed me. but atleast I have two of your vids now!

I had not heard of any of these movies until watching this. Shortly after seeing this video, I went and watched the 1939 movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I love the design of the mask, like he said, it reminds me of metropolis. I think it would be cool to get a replica mask myself.

Very beautiful work! I love bronze armour. Of course the Iliad describes the armour they wore as polished and shining in the sunlight. Since you do not have hoards of slaves and captives to do the polishing I guess you have to make due. You are an extremely skilled gentleman and being Greek I have a particular partiality for this armour style although I personally coudn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag.

"Hoplon"- Όπλο both in modern greek and ancient greek means the arms and weapons of a soldier. And "Hoplite" - Οπλιτης means the one who carries arms, weapons In modern Greek, we call soldiers like that. Also, a spear in greek is still called a "dory" - δόρυ and a sword still call "xiphos" - ξυφος.

So awesome

Great idea! Thank you for sharing! Have fun, make stuff!

Awesome

Heya Rob. Been a while. Not that I am not mesmerized by your wizard-like sheet metal work, but I am pleased to see you have not abandoned big steel altogether. Question for you: I note there is a slot along the length of one of your drifts (1m45s). Is there a purpose to this or was this simply the stock you used to forge the drift?

Hey rob. Saw you on the news the other night and knew exactly who they were talking about. Glad to see you did get your own shop and escaped Hammond’s. Congrats. Always wondered.

That’s incredible! I would have wasted so much time and energy trying to do that and you showed me a much better way. Thanks

So I have to say that was a very very interesting way to approach making those Harpoon point finials I feel like I've actually learned something new and it also makes me think that I could maybe do that using lawn mower blades that lawn maintenance companies get rid of by the Box load just hot cut the the larger portion of what is not needed off and then cut down half of that eye and proceed exactly the way you did in forging out the taper and the bevel endpoint of course thank you very much for your video is a very very helpful and I'm still waiting for your favorite bands and you know thoughts and favorites death metal and metal Styles and bands video

Excellent way of doing the work!!

It’s 1986 and belly shirts are the rage😂

HEIL HELLASakaGREECE!! 🔵⚪🔵⚪☦🔵⚪🔵⚪

These 2 dislikes, know that i will find you two.

Is there a video on the window?

Great video! Glad you said 'Thak out' and not 'Thak Off'' :D (sorry, couldn't resist it as at first I thought that was what you were going to say!!!)

A fantastic job

I want your 🦂 shield...♏♏♏

The curgan, since it looks protective enouth, wouldn't obstructing vision at all

Espectacular

Rammstein and blacksmithing, don’t know what’s more metal 🤘🏻

Put the prime minister in it for being a traitor to Great Britain

Where did you find the wood to do this? I've been having trouble finding wood of the correct thickness and 4' in length.

Love your work as always. My understanding of the gladiator amour is that there where too balance the fights each armour had its pros and deliberate cons and fighting styles, so to keep the fights entertaining each fighters had different disadvantages to fight against in their own kit and where set against fighters who didn’t have the same disadvantage.

Looks good. Think I'll have to make one of these

A phalanx of hoplites from Sparta, faces covered by their helms, marching silently toward you had to be very intimidating. Great panoply!

Excelente!!! Saludos

I am new here Sir but I like your work and your passion for your work.

Awesome! Worth the wait as always. The outfit is coming together nicely. I am Looking forward to your take on the Murmillo greave or greaves! You could probably make them interchangeable with your Greek sandal harness…

Truly inspiring. Now I'm off to make a simple version of this. No lion 😅 fine work

Aww too bad you fly was down the whole time. LOL Just trolling bro. no it wasn't.

A gladiator in front of a hobbit hole, now I've seen everything!

Another Epic work of art .

Don't worry thak it takes a lot of guys "about an hour to raise their initial bulge"

This was a cool video as I am new to your channel. Really liked the mannor in which you presented your work and thought process. On the lions head and mane, great detail and I have seen some with a serios curl at the top, especially that leading edge that seemed to get under the helmet. im sure ill have a deep dive your vids!

Nice work! One of these days I may have to have you make me some stuff!

Love it. Most awesome work Sir. 🙏🏼🔥⚒️🧙🏼

You don't need to get cut. Historically, they would have had the body fat as organic spaced armour over the vitals.

They should have casted you for a role in the movie :)

Very nice piece. I’m always amazed at what you can hammer out. I was a little surprised you opted to turn the Lion’s mane out (convex) instead it keeping it concave. Aesthetically, this would have mimicked how the mane falls on an actual lion’s head, and functionally it would have followed the natural curvature of the shoulder, which should minimize or eliminated interference with your helmet. A rounded surface for the shoulder guard should also better deflect the opponent’s weapon and minimize catch points. Unless by turning the mane out you were intending to provide a neck-guard for some portion of your neck? How would a neck-guard typically be accounted for in that if armor? With the helmet? With the shoulder guard? A separate piece , or not at all? I would be interested to hear your thoughts in the nerd-follow-up.

Fantastic work as usual sir!

Love this channel. Thak, what is your accent, Canadian?

That is insane ive been beggong my mom to make a strong plastic version which can fit my big head so i can be him for Halloween😂😂😂

Absolutely amazing as always !

YOu want Kamela to be the Vice she will be a a demon who up to her will Privatize the Jails and Create a new form of Criminal for just being opposite of the Demoncrates talking bad about them would land you in that jail and try to remove all of your money and wealth and your life!!!! This women would be in Cahoots with Blackrock directly as their ambassador..Thank God Biden has moved this women not to move into that space. Hell No!!

Very interesting and informative video! Thanks for clarifying matters that I only had a vague understanding of.

Hello, would you make a replica of this for sale? I'm interested in this mask.

Murmillo and Thracian (Thrax) were the gladiators that used that helmet, the Murmillo was just a more heavily armored version of the Thrax

Incredible!
