- The long awaited build video teaching you how to make ANY of the armors you've seen on my channel.
Before you ask, no, I don't do templates or print-outs. I promote creators, not copycats. I give you the knowledge, it's up to you to supply the creativity.

so how many road signs do I need to steal to build this
xD
Steal every single one you see and upgrade on the go lol
27
as many as you like.
uh none you should not be a thief you should buy road signs no stealing them alright cause if you do I will find you ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
DUDE MAKE AN ARMOURED FUNCTIONAL TRENCHCOAT
for school shooters
Yeah but tbh just hardened leather trenchcoat would be flame retardent, keep the water off, keep the sun off, offer a degree of defense, allow you to conceal weapons AND look FUCKING BADASS.

Joel Parkour im so sorry i accidentally sent k lol
I've been wanting to build one for awhile too
As far as armor goes you are actually right to put more protection on the left arm - historical armor was done this way because the most common strike you'd encounter was a downwards diagonal cut from the opponent's right hand (most people are right-handed), which would fall on your left shoulder or side of the neck or face. The right arm was way back, and the right shoulder needed the extra mobility to make the swing effective. So, it's not just a matter of preference, but a matter tactical soundness and practicality. It takes a fighter to think of these things intuitively, while video game devs just go for the "cool" factor, so kudos for the build.
the medieval armor you see more heavily armored on the left was jousting armor which is much different then combat armor
John Christ It was more common for jousting, but was also used in combat. See northern Italian armour.
What happens if your training in martial arts where are you I taught to fight both sides
Surely you then needs both sides equally the same size ????
@@knightveg I dont think anyone would be doing karate in mideval armor
So basically, left handed people had advantages in war
honestly when I first clicked on this video I thought it was going to be another kid making some video about making shitty armor but this was dope as fuck. good job, you are going places.
ikr
Dral Marev I have, they're all good, he's a skilled artisan.
And he did. His upload schedule is poopoocaka tho

best homemade armor ive seen as far as visually appealing but id personally love to see a test video with some practical weapons against this.
The steel used in this armor isn’t useful against bullets or most conventional modern weapons but it will serve a purpose against melee weapons

"I'm not gonna show you guys how I made this armor"
Pffft
Just happened
He figured it out, so can you
Love rewatching this every once in a while. Reminds me of how cool it’s gonna be when I finally get all the tools to make these.
You deserve every view and subscriber you get, you put a serious amount of effort into these and I really enjoy watching them and I appreciate it all.
Agreed
***** One of his videos made it to the front page before. That's how I found out about him.
***** This is my job.
when i tried to make my armor that failed i did use rusty steel so it didint survive but well lesson learned
You WILL be ready for the apocolipse!!!! :D
I have a tip for you when it comes to cutting the webbing.
Keep one of those snap off adjustable razor blades specifically for this. Heat up the blade with a blowtorch and cut it like you would using a razor. Bam, cut and defrayed in one step
I noticed that the area under your arms and down your side is unprotected, what do you do about that?
keep your arms down....
I just wanted to say that I am so happy for you and your channel and I love watching your videos. I love your ideas and creativity. I love to here all the lessons you have to teach not only about builds but also about life such as staying with your commitments and letting your failures build you up instead of destroying you. You have become a sort of role model for me and I wanted to thank you for adding wisdom and teaching in my life when I have so little of it. And even if you don't see this, I just want to say thank you for all your hard work and thank you for all that you have given.
When you've worked so hard on this and fall down and everything breaks

@@kiyola9990 say what now??
@@kiyola9990 be honest you was looking at this to better prepare for the blm riots right?
Hey dude, about the left/right shoulder armour. Video games and movies get it wrong and you get it right. Historically the left was more armoured because 2 right handed guys will usually attack each others left first
Yay
ZednoughtAlpha I personally prefer both sides being equally armored, but yes, if one is more armored, it's usually the left side. Excellent job either way, this looks amazing.
I think it also had to do with movements, the left hand was possible to lock in a more fixed position (think alefthanded person had to train in use the right hand, at least in Japan every left handed child got intense training in using the right hand as the weaponhand) but many armurstyles, most of them made for foot combat, had equal armour on both shoulders. So i think it´s accurate to choose what one personally find thebest combination, and, Yes,You hawe a good point there...
Sheep_Ewe you should try out some midieval style fencing some time, it's real fun, but no you can't lock up anything. If you do there's no way to transfer the energy of a hit. it'll just spin you. You need to be able to move to a hit, and then recoil from it. Also leftys still get the shaft like that. You left handed in the marine core? Good for you, that rifles right handed and you best make it work son.
fringis1
Yes, that´s why functional medieval armour often looks ridiculosly large on the wearer... :D
Personally i dont think those stiff armours actually where made for war, suppose they where more of sporting armour. War armours looks different and are lot more flexible, However It sounds likeYou alredy are wery familiar with them. :)
I'm making samurai armor, and stumble across this video. I love how your promoting creativity man! I almost want to drop all the research im having to do with making samurai armor b/c im scared of dishonoring their culture. Your passion with building armor bleeds through in the video man, its inspirational.
The sheer amount of attention to detail you put into your creations. Wow. Just wow. *subscribes*
Batman is jealous of you.
Jerzeecanuck I'm jealous of Batman.
I'm jealous of jealous
ZednoughtAlpha Dude, if you had millions of dollars and a desire to help people in that way, you could be batman.
I'm jealous of both
Jerzeecanuck what are you even talking about!? He is batman...
now I can properly make armor in case of a zombie apocalypse thank you
Really ?
+Sb_movie Bob just a prank bro!
I WAS INSPIRED BY YOUR WORKS.
YOU GAVE ME SOME IDEAS TO CREATE THINGS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW... THANK YOU..MAY YOUR CHANNEL HAVE A LOT MORE CONTENT..GOD BLESS..
from: Philippines🇵🇭
It's good to see someone who is so passionate about UA-cam videos and their followers. You keep it up kid, I'm rooting for you! If you ever decide to make a patreon, you have my pledge!
the idea of this combined with the samurai bracers and the shovel pauldrons, plus that mask you made out of diamond plating, along with the night terror, gives me an idea for a game boss: the armoured berserker. a heavily armoured tank of a rogue with a massive mace-like weapon. this suddenly turned into post apoc dark souls.
+John Pugh I plan on going into game designing. If you wanna see that become a reality it might ;)
hell yea, that's sounds awesome
+John Pugh Lets all chip in to make Apocalypse Souls
+John Pugh technically, the new dark souls were post apocalyptic enough
More where that came from: Slightly shorter than the Armoured Berserker, wearing armour plates of diamond plating and thick treaded tire rubber with a gas mask and helm reminiscent of the Samurai warriors of old. Carries an overly massive katana-like sword. The Samurai Berserker.
If you want some good drawings and pictures of historic armour for inspiration check out George Cameron Stone's book "A Collection of Arms and Armor From All Countries and All Times." I may have misremembered part of the title and I didn't even attempt to append the sub-title, but you should be able to find it. I would recommend making your own rivets rather than using pop-rivets since making you own rivets will give you the option making sliding rivets, turning rivets and decorative rivets (much beloved by makers of brigandine and jazzerant armors).
THANK YOU! You understand basic armor design, armor the left side more than right side! That is exactly how they did it back in the middle ages when the Milanese armor came into practice and is why I'm making my Mad Max/Fallout 3-inspired shoulder guard to fit my left shoulder.
Nice work dude, your videos are amazing and you can tell you enjoy doing them, keep up the good work. Honestly you deserve more views and subscribers. You are one of the few UA-camrs that actually put effort onto their videos
no one should have disliked this video
ya
They are anti violence activists, probably.
Or they know what ratchet straps are called. Lmao.
This is excellent, this may be a stupid question but what caliber of round could this armour theoretically stop?
In aluminum, I doubt any, It will break most arrows fired into it though. But 1/4 steel can stop a 9mm, next armor project methinks.
Nonlethalbychoice No it can't, Not unless its hollow point.. An FMJ would easily punch through 1/4" of industrial grade steel.. Would need to be specialty stuff. The stuff you made in this video wouldn't stop any kind of bullet, It looks cool but a .22 or an 1k+ air rifle could pierce it
John Montgomery
That's exactly what I said. He asked what caliber bullet it could stop, and I said "In aluminum, I doubt any", the armor is aluminum. Never claimed it could stop bullets, not sure why you're acting like I did.
And sorry, but 1/4 steel does stop 9mm:
9mm vs 1/4" steel
Nonlethalbychoice I've shot through steel with a subsonic fmj before =/ But yeah i know what you were saying, i was trying to imply it would have to be tough steel for it to stop a 9mm, sorry if i came off sounding like an ass for some reason mate
It's cool.
And well then I don't know what to say, the vid I provided shows 1/4" steel easily stopping the 9mm, but if you're convinced you've shot through it before, I guess we're at an impasse. It's whatever, we don't have to pursue this.
lately I've been into videos about knife making and other weapons or armor but they all require power tools but this channel has a lot of cool stuff you can do without the power tools. Really great stuff man, keep it up.
Good vid mate I've slowly been making boiled leather armor for HEMA and you have given me some great ideas that I would never have thought of. Well done.
your so cool man, keep up the videos I LOVE THEM!!!!!
you just earned another sub
This kid is awesome. I love the passion he has for what he does. And he really does do some great work. Big fan of the channel man, keep up all the good work.
Love your videos, and sage wisdom on taking your time. That's really good advice that all makers of things should adhere to. I have been doing art and making things like this since around 1980 and always end up with a masterpiece I can be proud of when I just take my time. Always strive for quality when you do something and you will thank yourself when you see what an amazing thing you have created.
l know is for apocalypse type Of armour with real metal..
l going to used that motorcycle, protection armor and used foam sheets or box to make gear of war armored.
"making it out of steel will make it way to heavy" haha :D just train more, addtional mass on you plus training will allow you to wield heavier swords ;)
Try with leather
Is hard but if u put more and more will be a little hard
Wow! I love your video and your body armor. Clearly, you are extremely intelligent, but you're also very humble, and that combination is what makes your videos so interesting and inspiring. I could envision your armor ideas being applied for police/military applications and saving lives someday. Thanks for sharing!
Well done young man. I'm thinking of making one myself and after being knocked off my motorcycle a few times it will give excellent protection and perhaps create a nice display of sparks as i skid down the road. Keep up the good work.
zombiegoboom when? ;-; really looking forward to it
Actually its because the left shoulder is where most people attack because more people are right handed then left.
And it would be a lot harder to hit somebody if your right handed aiming for their right shoulder where theirs not only a shield but also it's harder to get over there without getting hit yourself :)
THE MORE YOU KNOW!
I didn’t think the back looked good at first. Then I saw it on you and my jaw dropped. Awesome.
12:03 "I just kinda wanted to reassure you guys that nothing has changed. I... I will be a professional youtuber one day and I will have you guys to thank for.."
(might have gotten the last few words wrong)
No dude, THANK YOU for the amazing video. Just discovered you(definitely watching more of your vids, subbed, of course!) and I know it is a 7 year old video, but it sure is a heartwarming moment of honesty and ambition from a younger you. Much love from half a world away. Cheers from India 🇮🇳
Semi-functional cosplay gear? Sweet.
I'd imagine you could use more padding if you really had this in an apocalyptic survival situation to take the punch off impacts you may deal with.
If fallout happens irl then you'll be sorted
Watching this in 2018 and that piece of armor is still the best ones I've seen
awesome vid bud. its nice to se a person take pride in what they do without being cocky. you have earned my sub.
This is one of your older videos but Ive become addicted with your creations and now want to make my own armour. How thick is the aluminium that you are using. I was planning on using 3/16" thick plates. Is that good enough?
Thick enough*
+Foxtrot Thick enough for what?
+Foxtrot Yeah it depends what you plan on being beaten with haha
Great use of a no parking sign, not to mention funny as hell.,
This dude is pretty bro. Great advice "go mess up." comparable to "nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Glad I stumbled across this channel, keep up the good work home-skillet.
Liked, subbed.
This is the oldest of your videos I have watched and I love it.
People don't fight with swords now a day's lol but love the armor :) keep up the good work!!!!
"in case you are into twerking" LOL!
just added myself as a subscriber. great piece man. still new to the game but, vids like this make it easier to understand and work on building my own armor. thx lil brother.
Great job young man. I'm glad to see you spending time on things like this than on some of the stupid things going on out there. I love armor and have been into various types of it for years. I don't know about you, but working on projects like this are therapeutic for me and the end results are always very cool. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work little brother!
You're right about asymmetric pouldrons. You need to maximise flexibility in the weapon hand and protection on the other.
the guy looks damn hot in that armour
I wish I had a friend like you growing up this seems like so much fun
Absolutely awesome stuff man your videos never disappoint. You're the easily the coolest youtube maker around
Kinda reminds me of Glenn from the walking dead
Awesome armor, now you can fight superman ;-)
XD you made my day
Historically accurate poldren placement and sizing good work
Hey there just wanted to say this video is really awesome and helpful! Also the way you put the plates in layers seem to be well thought out and functional especially the shoulders! Anyway man keep making videos, they are great
Not a bad job.
I have my issued body armor, Riot gear, from Germany.
More complete pieces, but almost the same over all protection as yours.
Get a Good helmet with a re-enforced visor.
riot armor got fiberglass in it
Harith Iqbal
Mine doesn't
It's Steel and Kevlar, with NBC Suit under.
+Harith Iqbal Riot armor isn't the same everywhere.
Bas van de Kleut yeah...my country kinda poor to issued NBC or mll grada gas mask
0:36 "and for this one..." *camera pans to Motorcycle armor* "ill be using this one, *camera quickly goes to grocery bag* "plastic bag here..." XD
Man. ive been trying to do the same thing for years, and I kinda got it, but after this vid. it seems much easier. very nice work. GOD bless.
Trying to get some wasteland armor built....for next year I hope.
So I HAD to come back to look at your vids for inspiration.
This stuff is still on fire!
i reali like the word WASHER i dont know why but i like it
Washer
hehe washer
Wishwashwush. Washer.
It's a clean word.
Nonlethalbychoice wow holy pun
I just have a question: how fast can you move in this? I'm trying to write a realistically grounded tale of a batman inspired vigilante who probably relies heavily on parkour, and because I have such a picky sense of realism, I want his armour as protective, but with as much free movement as possible. I'd say his gear is very similar to a lot of stuff you've made, because he had to make it out of things he scavenged together.
+John Pugh Me just quickly thinking, I would assume you could move somewhat quick, but extravagant movements would be limited.
I would say standard parkour like vaulting, impact rolling, etc would work but flips would probably be hard
Aluminum is one of the weakest metals with one of the lowest melting points. Titanium is just as light as aluminum and would suffice as a more sufficient piece of armour. If you are going into strong detail with this, say titanium, not aluminum.
well your character depending not the story and his budget could use steal or titanium as D4B mentioned. Titanium would be ideal but it could be a good goal for later on in the story, maybe an associate gives him an upgrade or something. For how fast you can move depends on 2 main things. the build and training. If the armor is extremely segmented it will provide for more movement (although less protection from blades since the can slide in-between). For training if the character trains with the armor, runs with it, boxes with it basically works out with it on he will become accustomed to the weight and how to move with it. You could always keep the armor only to the torso, and keep smaller thinner plates on upper arms, and thighs protecting the most important bits.
Henry Lafferty an update now sees his story taking place before WW3. So that probably broadens the spectrum a bit. Thanks.
That's outstanding young man! absolutely outstanding!
Awesome video. You are incredibly talented, can't believe how much I learnt here. Thank you!
learned
Clearly, people don't pay attention to a damn thing anybody says anymore. This guys video clearly states that he isn't building BALLISTIC armor. It's impact armor. Just because something is called "body armor" doesn't mean it's bullet resistant. Aluminum plate like that wouldn't stop a decent pellet rifle. Steel comes in different grades. Ballistic grade steel starts with a specific alloy that is then hardened, heat tempered and plasma cut to shape It is dense and it is HEAVY. My Ar500 steel plates in my entry vest weigh over 7 pounds each at 10x12x1/4 inch. I have a steel gong target that is 6" in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. That will stop some rifle rounds below a 7.62x51mm NATO inside of 100 meters depending on the projectile.
Stop putting words in his mouth.
What he HAS made is fairly decent for most direct force blunt impact. A baseball bat, sure. A tomahawk with a hardened steel prong... not a chance in hell. It might stop a steel blunt target tip on a recurve bow. A hardened steel bodkin arrowhead?.. say goodnight Irene.
Amen.
You know though if you were to wear a gambeson underneath that would be decently compliment the aluminum.
Ah. The Weavers.
AWESOME SORRY BUT WHERE DO YOU GET THE ALLUMINIUM
But aren't you invincible dude? Why you need this armor
street signs😝
+Deadpool buy it from home depot or some place like that.
+Deadpool You can buy sheets of it from hardware stores. You can order pallet loads as well.
+Deadpool they are street sign he bought them
Looks great. Gives me lots of inspiration and ideas. Keep up the great work.
Just sort of picked this out of the peripheral after checking some product info form Crye precision. My daughter really wanted to check it out and I am glad we did. There is a little bit of genius going on here.
What's up with the ZGB thing? haven't seen your weapons yet.
They said in a recent Z-log of theirs that his weapons would be featured this week sometime.
Dayton Yeah I just watched this guy's video, can't wait until Wednesday!
Please test against ur home made weapons
Test his homemade weapons against his armor? No dude your crazy. His armor won't survive the first hit. He will get seriously hurt. Haven't you seen his weapons? They make cinder blocks look paper.
Soy tu Jefe Wey Most of his weapons are more of a blunt trauma than anything, this armor was designed against slashes and stabs, it's understandable why he wouldn't do it.
Vikiyas Viki It look's hard to believe... Lol I'd like to be the one in the suit and try it out XD. But thanks any way
It's made of aluminum after all
+Angel Mendoza Motorcycle armor is actually excellent against blunt trauma. It was designed that way in the first place.
bad freaking ass armor. I'm proud of you young man
You're one of the coolest people on UA-cam and I find you an inspiration😀
Can I make the Orbalisk armor and still have its powers through this tutorial?
Sure.
Nonlethalbychoice do you know what that is?
Jedi Grand Master Yoda
No.
Nonlethalbychoice then how do you know if what I'm asking can be done?
Jedi Grand Master Yoda
I don't.
"Gasp" batman =-O
man,this looks amazing, GREAT JOB M8!
It looks FLIPING AMAZING!!!!!!!
I love this type of stuff and I want nothing more but to make this but I'm a jobless 14 year old so I have no money to buy everything I need
Look for jobs in your area! You can do all sorts of things, from mowing lawns to a job with an actual company. It may seem like you have no experience because you're young, but use what you love and try to make money off it. After I stopped playing Little League, I became an umpire and made 200$ a year. Sports referee is very recommended, and they're a lot of fun. If you take the time to think of what you're good at (example: riding your bike) you an think of available jobs that use that skill (example: newspaper delivery). As with the metalworking that you hope to do, you also need creativity to get some money. Good luck from a guy who came from the same position!
+xxJack64xx cough cough $200 a year cough pathetic
+Singleton2003 cough cough Its not a full time job and it's only in the spring/some fall
xxJack64xx I wouldn't shine shoes for that kind of money
Sbubby Eef Freef I feel you, but now I'm 27 and it rocks to be able to make whatever I wanted when I was younger with a lot of time and a little cash.
How the fuck do you have that much time?
sweet thanks I'll never look at batman the someway way ever again,
now that I can make my own body armor I TO will never sleep again,
Naw but really I am grateful for your formula for this build, its mind blowing how simple you have done it
first video of yours i've seen, honestly wasn't even looking for anything like this, but cheers bro, i'll sub to this, this stuff is cool as all get out haha
Kevlar is bulletproof
***** ...u can ad many layers.
Kevlars pretty heavy though
Reynard Chia "bulletproof."
***** You don't necessarily actually want your plate to be flat. A convex curve naturally distributes the force in a more efficient manner, preventing an otherwise piercing attack.
It serves a different purpose and isn't ever intended to be reused in "modern plate."
this looks really cool, was looking for a way to build my own armour for cosplaying deathstroke, and could use HIP plastic, or maybe just cardboard instead of aluminium- thanks so much for sharing the idea, and basic technique
dude this is so awesome iv always wondered if that would work me and my bro have been wanting to do a project together and this is it man hes gonna luv the idea of making something like this
THAT ARMOR LOOKS SO AWESOME :D
Very well done, man. I have nothing to say, other than how much of a great job you did.
Your work is pretty damn sweet. Watched a few of your vids, but I'm subbing now. I'm not the handiest guy out there but you've inspired me to give it a go. Good job dude!
Really like this. Just getting started airsoft/rpg and this armor made My day!!! Learned quite a bit. Keep it up and I hope You make more money than You know what to do with! Good Luck.
Geesus what an in depth video with plenty of ideas. Nice to see someone on youtube make/explain something so simply and to the point with out the jargon. Love the suit and I am on a mission to make a full blown top to bottom terminator outfit with revolving guns, ski boots and voice changer into face mask made from motorbike helmet;)
Have subscribed and gunna plod through your other videos.
wow, 6 years ago u uploaded this. respect.
I really like the idea for the arms, very practical... And cool.
Nice video, it looks awesome and it protects you very well, nice work!
ugh, the dream job, building weapons, uploading videos all day err day.
dude the stuff you make is awesome
dude your videos are absolutely amazing I always try to do stuff like this sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt anyway let me just tell you your videos help me create awesome things i give all my thank to you bro your the homeboy
-gabe
I love all of your videos already! You're so talented! Keep making more please.
dude im using this as my base to make my cardboard armor and eventually making my metal one thank you you are awesome dude
