    I have to say, you make it look so simple. I also make armor and can say without an issues you have serious skills. You use the tools you have to work your magic! Thank you for making these videos and letting us watch your art.

      Well it is DIY because if you try hard enough you CAN do it, although he can with much less effort

    I've recently made my own set of Greaves from fiberglass using this video as a guide, as well as your video for the knees. Just noticed the Greaves you make in this video have straps fitted at the end of the process however the ones you are wearing at the end of the video don't appear to have these straps, & there is a strap fitted to the base of the knee harness that wraps around the top of the greave. So many details to these parts you only really notice when you actually try to make them. The hinges on the greaves are also tricky, took me awhile to notice the cut outs that need to be added for them to work.

      The technique is known as planishing. Essentially you use a flat hammer with more numerous yet softer strikes on the piece that you are working whilst it rests on an anvil or attachment with a similar shape that you are trying to create.

    Is there any drawback to curving steel with a press? Many armourers use raising in order to not think out the metal, but it takes so much time. With the press it seems quicker
