Ive been looking for videos like this for a long long time, great explanation great footage and none of this fast forward stuff. Me personally, i prefer the longer unedited videos as it gives a bigger picture of the process, if i need to skip ahead, i can do, but as it stands, this is a brilliant video. please keep it as is. Subbed! Thank you for taking time to make it, and sharing. I really appreciate it.
Just come across this, excellent. You're that rare thing, someone with the skills to do this stuff and the ability to explain it clearly and make and edit a quality video to show us what you're doing. Thank you, very grateful and inspiring, time to go outside and hit some metal.
Thank you for your videos and for all that time you spared to make them! I have recently discovered your channel and I’m looking forward to watching all of your guides. They are invaluable to me and it seems that my dream of starting an armory is much, much easier to start now.
Awesome video. I'll have to try this when I make myself a breastplate this Sunday with a friend. I just wish I had the hammer that you used at the end, and not necessarily for this, but for other techniques where a hammer like that may be used.
Hi there, it's called a scutch or scutching hammer and is used by bricklayers; this version is double ended. I've taken a look to see if I can find USA based versions but no luck on a quick search. You might have more luck out there.
Sometime dropping in the safety edge first can work best, but most of the time I prefer to do it after the metal is shaped. When they are made they can resist the curves and shapes needed for the piece if you see what I mean?
It can be, bit the bottom line is you're moving twice as thick material so it moves slightly differently and can cause some inconvenience on the way ... but I would suggest it's a personal thing. Except with shaped edges like roping, triangles, squares .. then it's definitely a case f making the edges after the shaping :)

Hi! I was thinking, can't you just make the safety edge on a flat plate, then curve it?
Sometime dropping in the safety edge first can work best, but most of the time I prefer to do it after the metal is shaped. When they are made they can resist the curves and shapes needed for the piece if you see what I mean?
Yes I do, but isn't that countered with heating the area up with forge?

Okay thanks, I am so exited and pumped of doing an armour someday pretty soon, so this helps and clears up many things. Thank you!
Apologies for the spelling, I've my daughter in an out pushing me for time :)
