Flat Finger Forge will be posting blacksmithing tutorials and projects from start to finish with occasional guests.
Scott Fix is a accomplished blacksmith who has been smithing for 20+ years. He started out making parts for ships on the BC coast. He has made armour for clients in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) club - mostly for heavy fighters. He also does blade-smithing of knives, swords, axes, etc. He can make house hold items like pot racks, curtain rods, towel racks, garden arches, gates, etc. All items are hand forged from high grade metal.
We rely on your feedback. Let us know if there's something you want to see in upcoming videos.

how do you ensure that the second half will be the same radius as the first and they will match up for welding?
Just careful attention and then spot weld the halves together at one point. Small adjustments over a ball stake and continue until everything lines up. Finally finish weld and final planishing until smooth. Sorry I never finished the video series. Life got in the way I'm afraid.
Have you ever hit your thumb?
Hell yes lol
Thanks for the great video's very helpful. I was wondering what is the name of the rough plannishing tool you use and can a person find it. I look forward to more blacksmithing video's .
I used the bottom of an old steel nitrogen bottle. A wooden stump with a 9 or 10 Centimeter wide and 4-5 Centimeter deep dish works really well.
Firstly, make your armour out of 15mm aliminium or 5mm titanium. It stops 45 magnum rounds at point blank range. Moreover, titanium and aliminium is light enough to wear over your whole body. Particularly the titanium. However, to effectively wear 15mm thick aliminium over your whole body you need to be a two hundred kilogram person. This is because they are naturally stronger. They also get just as fast when they train. Lastly, thankyou for that video on dishing metal armour it was an absolutely brilliant video. I am going to dish some aliminium armour just like that later.
Hazza thank you
what gauge of metal is this?
and also is this stainless?
14 Ga.
@@gariaveria5433 no just mild.
Is that stump Birch?.....
Thanks for sharing, very helpful. My neighbors are about to hate me
any suggestions on dishing without a dishing tool or stump?
sure a sand bag but a dishing stump is not that hard to make and makes dishing easier compared to a sand bag
Thank you. Jolly well done.
More planishing videos like this please!!!
Thank you very much for sharing ...
Is there a template for this project?
www.armourarchive.org/. has multiple patterns that this technique works with. Good luck
Saved a lot of trouble on my end thank you so much for the last 2 videos
How do you make the template for the half helm piece
Shaun Nickels www.armourarchive.org/patterns/ has patterns for many different projects.
Hello there! I wanted to let you know how grateful we are for this video. We learnt a lot from those tips, and it helped a bunch of enthusiastic idiots with no metal working experience whatsoever to turn a few sheets of steel into this in less that a month: i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/64/73/35/final_10.jpg i62.servimg.com/u/f62/13/64/73/35/final_11.jpg If you wonder about the appendages... Look up "Daphnia". It's a Daphnia Great Helm. Thanks loads, a cheers from a bunch of biologist-armourers from overseas!
What is steel thicknes?
Azurael1 the steel used on this is 14 gauge
Flat Finger Forge mild steel?
Azurael1 yes mild. You can do the same with some stainless types however you need to stop and anneal the steel between passes to prevent cracks.
Flat Finger Forge ok what kond of steel you propose? And question with steinless. How many anneal it would nead it?
What belt did you use for the polishing?
MysticMarbles sorry for the delayed response, I go from 80 to 600 in steps 80-120-220 etc. Finishing with a cotton bonnet and Emery.
Hi, and thank you for the video, very interesting, I ask you one thing, what mold concavein metal what did you get it from? From a cut canister?
CavaliereXIII the dish is the bottom of an old oxygen tank, however a tree stump.with a dish cut.into it does very well.
Thanks a lot for the answer, you are very kind, If I do not find the tank I will look for a wooden stump to make the recess, Thank you for your videos, they are very useful! :)
Damn, that was fast! Great job!
Where did you learn the skills necessary and how long did it take to learn?
as far as armour is concerned, mostly self taught. Most people can build a basic piece pretty quickly with a bit of instruction. However I am a journey Smith and Sheet metal mechanic ( SAIT )
genial master
would this same technique apply to demascus steel, besides the heating of the metal?
where did you find damascus sheet steel?
hahaha
Drew Pefferson if you had pattern welded steel to work the same techcan be used however a wooden mallet and a wooden dishing stump will save material and grinding time.
Dude, that's even loud over the computer. You need hearing protection! Good work though..
C Dykhuizen what? LoL
What gage steel is that?
Nicholas Hughes that was 14 ga
Hi Caius! Great video! Do you have any templates of your helmet halfs available for print?
Oliver Storgaard sorry. no but the armour archive does.
Très jolie !!!
Any difference when dishing on a leather sand bag? I wonder if that would keep it from moving around so much. Just a thought, great vid!
Nice vid. This video made my work easier. i subscribed to you chanel
very good basic class.
Thanks! I've been working through Brian Price's "Techniques of Medieval armor reproduction", but you can only learn so much from a book- Watching the procedures in action was very helpful.
Thanks a lot I am making a spartan helmet for a school project and this helped out a lot thanks!
This was genius...unconventional but genius nonetheless.It's the first time I feel like I can do a helm.
there is a form that can i do this witouth the gigant metal esferes ? like with wood or sand ?
Thx for the vids! Helped out :)
Mikael Sjöstrand Glad it helps!
Thanks for the tips.
is... is the man in blue a giant?
who is fighting kite?
@2:59...Did Neecy call me a cheater? :(
