Let's do again! But this time, make the dude wear a thick jacket or gambeson cause chainmail was often worn with padded clothing to act as a sponge for hits, protecting both the user and the mail while the mail stopped sharp objects from slashing.
I'd like to see a follow-up, but in this new version try to use proper cutting movements (there's a couple tutorials on UA-cam) instead of swinging it like a bat and u will get a much better result

Or you can cheaply get steel suitable for making knives & swords. (Automotive springs, leaf springs are best, coil springs can work with more sweat investment.)
What most people always forget about mail armor is that although it stops blades from penetrating, your body is still absorbing the kinetic energy, so a sword blow to the torso like that is still going to hurt. A lot. And possibly cause internal damage.
I've tested a bit, a Mail without gambeson provides 80% of blunt pain. But plate armor is light and mitigates kinetic energy even without pad like gambeson.
Go for a Gambeson under mail and plate. Full form fitted plate was unreasonable for anyone but the wealthiest. If you don't have form fitted, you definitely want that Gambeson for two reasons... it provides straps and anchor points for your mail and plate to sit right with weight distribution, it allowed you to breathe under the armor and acted like a sweat wick. It prevented armor bite from where plates interlock or meet. And it did a lot to mitigate the impact as it was more than just cloth and padding like most hobbyists make. It was usually some form of semi rigid fiber like horsehair or flax between an outer layer of compressed and glued felt, linen, or wool layers or layered heavy canvas and an inner one of felt or similar wicking material. The Chain dissipates the impact, and if you wear it right, it will do it's job well, but the remainder still needs somewhere to go... that is the Gambeson or your fleshy bits. Your upper arms and legs can probably tank the shot under naked chain, but joints, hips, sternums, etc... really can't.
@@talyn3932under plate you don't really want gambeson but an arming doublet. It's thinner and lighter and has loops to attach the plate more securely. You don't need as much padding under plate and it gets hotter because it's not breathable like mail.
To be fair the pop tabs are quite abit thicker and more covering per tab than usual chainmail, while not as protective against stabs for slashes I'd say it actually holds up pretty solidly.
medieval maille was also (usually) riveted together, not just "butted" together (just open rings pushed together) like most replica/costume maille you see for sale today. Alternating rows would be solid rings and riveted rings. So not only were they stronger because of the material but also how it was fastened together
He could achieved a similar effect had he spot welded the rings where the breaks were, surely? Obviously not as strong as actual rivets, but better than just butting.
The Japanese would use butted rings and use riveted in the most stress prone spots The less funded armorsmiths in Europe would probably have done the same
@@isaacpirtle2689 no, you can grind metal on those. There are sanders designed for steel or wood but if it's not a specific machine it should grind almost anything with the right belt
I used to make chains as a teenager from these, as part of metalhead and punk culture thingy. There is a trick to make them strong and I'd say it would improve your chainmail resistance. You cut the top of the pop, making it super easy for the mail to unbind even by pulling on it hard. If you cut the thick lower part at an sharp angle, it would lower the chance it will break or unbind. Was using my chain as a dog leash for example .

@@pandorasboxofcatvideos5892 yeah. The youtubers swings were poor as well. He was more smacking the chainmail than slashing it. Still an interesting video though. You can tell he put a lot of time into it.
Also real midevil/ renaissance swords would be blunt and they would just go with enough power to knockout/ kill someone from force, and they would stab to try and break the chainmail
Diamond irl needs cutting edge tech to weld, because it is the hardest matireal. Also, it would be blooming expensive, considering the rarity of irl diamond.
b-but it's not a medieval sword in any respect! It is a modern model made with modern technology from modern steel! Technically, it's a 21st-century Chinese sword.
Not good for battle, but it looks fairly good, actually, better than the sort of silver-painted knit fabric they usually use in movies to simulate mail. Dunno if you watch Cody's Lab, but he's been wearing a mail shirt made of copper lately. This also reminded me of when I was in 3rd grade, ca. 1988, when my school collected 1 million pop tabs for some reason. I don't remember what the reason was, but it was cool to see the pile of them in the playground.
I love cody’s lab! I’ll have to go check it out. Some people apparently sell tabs online? Apparently they have higher value as craft materials than for scrap metal
@@Weisz Yeah, I would also recommend Shadiversity, Metatron or Skallagrim. People focused more on this historical warfare and HEMA stuff, as well as some practical side to the thing. Most of these know their shit when it comes to chainmail.
I know im a year late but it couldve been a fund raiser for something. My sisters in a wheelchair and abunch of people collected a shit load of tabs for her. which we can sell and it was enough money to by a wheelchair.
LOL What I posted before seeing your comment >>> Keeps using the word slice while swinging a sword like a baseball bat, should have started with learning to swing a sword
As someone who has been making Chain for 40 years I found this interesting. The alum foil sword needed to be compressed a heck of a lot more then you did. Also when you sharpened the edge you basically split it in half (think about it, you rolled it then weakened the seams on both sides). As for the real blade, you do not want a razor edge on the blade. A razor edge will chip and blunt on the armor making it worthless. You want more of a chisel edge to get your cut without destroying a thinner edge. That is why maces were more effective against chain, they did not get through it but they mashed everything underneath it. But from a cosplay or con sort of armor it did not look too bad. May have worked better for you if you had sewn the tabs to a leather backing making a scale mail out of them. Would have been denser and the leather would have held it together better.
Okay so there's some misunderstanding here. Aluminum foil isn't particularly heat resistant. For metal it actually melts at relatively low temperatures. something like 1200 degrees. It's heat resistant in your oven or on the grill, but that blow torch can put out 2 or even 3 times that melting temperature.
@@EternalAnkh You just need to hold it in the same spot for about 5-10 min for it to change color and he would more then likely have to go through a few tanks of fuel to still create a piss poor blade due to the poor quality of aluminium he was using. It would have been cheaper to just buy a steel rod or bar from lowes and sharpen that to a point.
@@chemislife not to mention even high quality aluminum doesn't heat treat well and heating such thin aluminum in the open air would basically destroy it.
As a reenactor (actually former safety officer and former combat instructor of my old group), I found myself *reaching for the popcorn* as soon as I saw the thumbnail.
Real chainmail that was used in real combat was mostly riveted together so they don't split. I suggest doing this experiment again and instead of just budding your links together, I suggest soldering them so they stay closed.
@@uttermostvids631 no thats not, metal detectors send waves thru the ground and show the frequencies that bounce back. We find these tabs all the time because they can put off signals that sound like coins
The proper term for this type of armour is mail. It was never called chain mail back in the day. I think the most impressive thing in this video was the patience you had for making this piece of armour!
@@newCoCoY6 Historical chainmail would often be riveted to close the gaps. They also wouldn't cut every ring, since you can link several uncut rings onto a single cut ring and thus reduce the number of weaker cut rings in your armor.
For Larping, I would say no for fantasy as it is made of poptops and looks "modern" or for a post-apocalyptic maybe. Some Larps require that armor be made out of materials that would actually protect you ie steel, leather, etc. as shown in vid this type of armor does not give much protection.
@@mikegolden3021 Really depends on the level of larping that you’re doing. One where you’re grabbing whatever you can to make a costume and where your weapons are foam, this would be more than enough and I think everyone involved would simply be impressed you made something like this. Of course if you’re actually fighting with weapons or involved in a more in-depth larp session where people are spending good money on actual fitted armor, then yea this is going to look super out of place and depending on whether you’re dealing with actual weapons may be unsafe. Just depends on the circumstance really.
Unriveted mail was (according to many sources) also used historically and looks good enough, and as far as materials go, steel rings made from wire are not much more expensive. What is expensive is work that needs to be done. I know some people from knight brotherhoods who used unriveted mail simply because it was easier to both made and also repair on the spot, and they were good enough protection. I don't know if it was done historically (but there is huge chance some people did) but they also liked to attach some brass or even copper rings to some parts to make it look better.
One practical use i can think of for it: Aluminium pop tap chainmal would be super light. You could wear it over a shirt, but under a gambeson for extra protection. Id like to see how it would perform if it was riveted though.
I mean, the chainmail disassembled on impact on the upward strike for the same reason that it was easy to assbemble on a table. There's nothing really holding the links together, so if enough pressure is put on one side of the pop tab, it should theoretically unclip from the one before it.
@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 That would be expensive though (most people don't have a spotwelder). Soldering might be a worthwhile upgrade (even if you don't know anyone, that you could borrow one from, you can just buy a cheap one), obviously it wouldn't be nearly as good as riveted or welded mail, but better than butted mail and not much more expensive than butted/a lot cheaper than riveted/welded. Edit: also keep in mind, this is cheap rolled sheet aluminum.
In his defence, his edge alignment was actually really good for someone who doesn't use a sword. The real issue is that the sword is just terrible, barely more than a wall-hanger, and the impromptu sharpening they did on it wouldn't have actually done much to help it.
@@ımarkovı Literally the only problem with his attack is that he should have opted for a diagonal cut instead of a horizontal one, since that would have been simpler for him and would have been a stronger strike. That doesn't mean that the strike itself was actually bad. Edge alignment is king when you're using a sword of any kind, and if that sword were made properly, it would have easily been devastating. I'm not saying his form his good, and he obviously wouldn't do well in a fight against a real person, but that doesn't change the fact that the admittedly poor-form strike would have been more than sufficient in cutting through the weird armour and the shirt underneath quite effortlessly.
@@justiniani.4501 A better made and sharper blade would show better results even when striking, of course, but striking with a blade instead of slashing will most of the time get poor results (unless you are hitting something fragile or very thin).
I've made chain mail using metal wire coat hangers. It turned out to be very durable. I am blown away that the pop tab chain mail had any sort of defense to it at all! I wouldn't want to wear it into battle but it's certainly better than nothing.
That knife sharpener isn't really good for sharpening anything. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend using it on a dollar store knife. It just rips metal off of the blade, and doesn't really make an edge.
thats literally how you make an edge, you aren't flattening it back down to an edge, you're shaving it back down to an edge. A stone is still better for that though
5:00 it sounds like you're having issues because the sword is made out of crappy steel that isn't consistently hardened. btw, your dad seems like a pretty cool guy
On top of being a softer material, the way pop tab chainmail is assembled classifies it as butted mail, meaning the only thing holding the rings together is the strength of the ring (and aluminium is not strong). Even against steel mail, if it's only butted, it can be stabbed through with enough force. Riveted mail is when the rings are closed again after being joined and makes it far, far stronger against stabs and cuts.
Those draw through sharpeners are kinda ok at sharpening the existing edge on a blade. What you're trying to do is create a cutting edge on a blade that doesn't have one at all. They can't do that.
@@henrikaugustsson4041yeah.. they really just mess up the blade in a way that makes it temporarily sharper, nothing like a proper sharpening. they really just tear up your edge. if you see what they do under a microscope, it’s pretty bad.
Nice! Although I think the slash more likely “disassembled” the mail rather than cutting through. If the tabs were connected, then the cuts welded or fused shut somehow, probably would withstand a couple more slashes
I agree with your point it would've been stronger welded however a proper sword and an experienced user would probably be able to cut that target in half in one good cut , it's not very common knowledge anymore how much the user has to do with how much damage a sword cut will achieve. Constant edge alignment makes a huge difference as you can see with that second cut even with a blunt sword doing way more damage than the first one
As a welder/fabricator and a armor and weapons enthusiast, there was parts of this that was hard to watch. That said, good for you on trying something new. The uniformity of the pop tap armor before it was ripped apart, was surprisingly very appealing.
thanks I was only at the start of the video. I don't think I can expect anything good from the swords and his techniques now. Not expecting something like skallagrim but something like demoranch.
Imagine just going on your daily jog when you see a man wielding a medieval sword swinging wildly at a headless dummy hanging from a tree covered in chain mail made out of pop tabs
So what you learned is that soft metals like soda tabs are poor to use for armor. And that heavier and denser metals will likely make them fail when they are so horribly thin... Which everyone already should have known.
Let's also remember that medieval forging techniques were inferior to modern-day forging techniques if you were to craft Knight's armor with modern-day steel forging it should be able to withstand small caliber handguns
He didn't weld the links together to keep them from separating, he tried forging using Aluminum which displaces heat, he swung the sword at the target like a bat causing no cutting motion and his dad provided the tools and hands on experience to make anything even remotely work.....This really feels like it should be the dads channel, he's the one who seems to know what he's actually doing XD
I remember as a kid starting to collect some pop tabs to eventually make some chain mail with my friend... Thank you so much for recreating my childhood imagination!
9:31 The people in the background: "Oh shit, is that a guy with a sword?!?!" "Just keep running, honey, and don't make eye contact. If he asks for your wallet, just drop it and run. Drop it and run!"
Imagine taking a walk through the park and seeing a man with a sword beating the hell out of a dummy made out of tape and wearing pop tab chain mail armor
its a good project, but seems to be intensive on labor (probably took 2-8 hours to put the tabs together, plus the hours cutting the tabs, idk how long that would take though as its much faster, just a bit annoying and messing up on a cut would make it more difficult to put the tabs together)
Two things to note: 1. butted mail (rings just bent together like the pop tabs) wasn't very protective either even when they were made of iron / mild steel. Proper chainmail had full rings alternating with riveted rings (where the spit rings were held together by rivets). 2. you'd almost always wear a padded arming jacket under your chainmail (called a gambeson or aketon) to protect you from the impacts that would still hurt you even if the mail didn't split. It would also insulate you better against the cold, because wearing a chainmail in cold weather is rough, because the cold mail would drain your body heat.
Not sure if this could make a difference but I believe it would, for I know from my woods experience that when you rely heavily on the sharpness of your axe/knife you become almost passionate about its edge. Because if you ever chopped wood with a perfectly sharpened and well balanced axe it does a surprisingly huge difference compared to one that is "just" sharpened. I can imagine that it was the same for a swordsman and his sword. Having the sword PERFECTLY sharpened and practicing well balanced swings and I reckon that it not only goes through the mail you would probably have split the dummy in half when you struck the exposed area like in your video. Edit: so I would ofc also like a follow up :D :P. great stuff great content thanks for helping me fill my youtube addiction with interesting stuff!
I mean there also isnt technically a rule to "relocate" your school to next door so there is no more drives to it but.. Nobody want to do that lol I'm jk BTW XD
Pretty kewl. My step-daughter is currently saving up tops to make some chain mail. She's gonna find this interesting. Dude, gloves are better than stitches. Never test edged weapons w/o them. Luck is not infinite.
hol horse, gone but never forgotten, Diavolo, er, when will he *TRULY* die? I don't think Giorno knows. I know it's an infinite death loop but, he can truly die once... right??
I was thinking that it is illegal in my country to bring a sword in public, let alone swinging it. But then I realized the video was filmed in a place where people can hold a gun in public.
just wanna take a sec to remind everyone that i made this video on a budget of like $80 when I only had 2500 subscribers... so like, i tried my best.

Not good for battle, but it looks fairly good, actually, better than the sort of silver-painted knit fabric they usually use in movies to simulate mail. Dunno if you watch Cody's Lab, but he's been wearing a mail shirt made of copper lately.
This also reminded me of when I was in 3rd grade, ca. 1988, when my school collected 1 million pop tabs for some reason. I don't remember what the reason was, but it was cool to see the pile of them in the playground.

As someone who has been making Chain for 40 years I found this interesting. The alum foil sword needed to be compressed a heck of a lot more then you did. Also when you sharpened the edge you basically split it in half (think about it, you rolled it then weakened the seams on both sides). As for the real blade, you do not want a razor edge on the blade. A razor edge will chip and blunt on the armor making it worthless. You want more of a chisel edge to get your cut without destroying a thinner edge. That is why maces were more effective against chain, they did not get through it but they mashed everything underneath it.
But from a cosplay or con sort of armor it did not look too bad. May have worked better for you if you had sewn the tabs to a leather backing making a scale mail out of them. Would have been denser and the leather would have held it together better.
Do you have a place I can purchase your chainmail?

Aluminum foil: **is heat resistant**
Louis: °o°
They didn’t thought that far.
Forgot that aluminum foil is meant to be heat resistant, XD
Okay so there's some misunderstanding here. Aluminum foil isn't particularly heat resistant. For metal it actually melts at relatively low temperatures. something like 1200 degrees. It's heat resistant in your oven or on the grill, but that blow torch can put out 2 or even 3 times that melting temperature.
@@EternalAnkh You just need to hold it in the same spot for about 5-10 min for it to change color and he would more then likely have to go through a few tanks of fuel to still create a piss poor blade due to the poor quality of aluminium he was using. It would have been cheaper to just buy a steel rod or bar from lowes and sharpen that to a point.

Real chainmail that was used in real combat was mostly riveted together so they don't split. I suggest doing this experiment again and instead of just budding your links together, I suggest soldering them so they stay closed.

I think this would be perfect for cosplay purposes and maybe even larping. It’s cheap enough to make and not that difficult from the looks of it
maybe even just superglue the cut area after connecting everything.
@@newCoCoY6 Historical chainmail would often be riveted to close the gaps. They also wouldn't cut every ring, since you can link several uncut rings onto a single cut ring and thus reduce the number of weaker cut rings in your armor.
For Larping, I would say no for fantasy as it is made of poptops and looks "modern" or for a post-apocalyptic maybe. Some Larps require that armor be made out of materials that would actually protect you ie steel, leather, etc. as shown in vid this type of armor does not give much protection.
@@mikegolden3021 Really depends on the level of larping that you’re doing. One where you’re grabbing whatever you can to make a costume and where your weapons are foam, this would be more than enough and I think everyone involved would simply be impressed you made something like this.
Of course if you’re actually fighting with weapons or involved in a more in-depth larp session where people are spending good money on actual fitted armor, then yea this is going to look super out of place and depending on whether you’re dealing with actual weapons may be unsafe.
Just depends on the circumstance really.
Unriveted mail was (according to many sources) also used historically and looks good enough, and as far as materials go, steel rings made from wire are not much more expensive. What is expensive is work that needs to be done.
I know some people from knight brotherhoods who used unriveted mail simply because it was easier to both made and also repair on the spot, and they were good enough protection. I don't know if it was done historically (but there is huge chance some people did) but they also liked to attach some brass or even copper rings to some parts to make it look better.
One practical use i can think of for it:
Aluminium pop tap chainmal would be super light. You could wear it over a shirt, but under a gambeson for extra protection. Id like to see how it would perform if it was riveted though.
6:55 the dad burns himself touching the tip right after grinding the tip
lol
XD
Yes
It isn't one clip. The part were he touches it takes place later then the grinding
As a blacksmith myself
That shit happens alot
I mean, the chainmail disassembled on impact on the upward strike for the same reason that it was easy to assbemble on a table. There's nothing really holding the links together, so if enough pressure is put on one side of the pop tab, it should theoretically unclip from the one before it.
Super glue should have sorted it out.
@@henriqueribeiro8167 absolutely not it needs a metal connection real mail was riveted rings.
@@Reaniman99 yeah you’d need to spotweld it at least
@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 That would be expensive though (most people don't have a spotwelder).
Soldering might be a worthwhile upgrade (even if you don't know anyone, that you could borrow one from, you can just buy a cheap one), obviously it wouldn't be nearly as good as riveted or welded mail, but better than butted mail and not much more expensive than butted/a lot cheaper than riveted/welded.
Edit: also keep in mind, this is cheap rolled sheet aluminum.
He's using the sword like it has a blunt edge. Rather than slashing
In his defence, his edge alignment was actually really good for someone who doesn't use a sword. The real issue is that the sword is just terrible, barely more than a wall-hanger, and the impromptu sharpening they did on it wouldn't have actually done much to help it.
@@justiniani.4501 He's still striking instead of slashing
@@ımarkovı Literally the only problem with his attack is that he should have opted for a diagonal cut instead of a horizontal one, since that would have been simpler for him and would have been a stronger strike. That doesn't mean that the strike itself was actually bad. Edge alignment is king when you're using a sword of any kind, and if that sword were made properly, it would have easily been devastating. I'm not saying his form his good, and he obviously wouldn't do well in a fight against a real person, but that doesn't change the fact that the admittedly poor-form strike would have been more than sufficient in cutting through the weird armour and the shirt underneath quite effortlessly.
@@justiniani.4501 A better made and sharper blade would show better results even when striking, of course, but striking with a blade instead of slashing will most of the time get poor results (unless you are hitting something fragile or very thin).
@@ımarkovı What exactly do you mean by striking and what do you mean by slashing?
I've made chain mail using metal wire coat hangers. It turned out to be very durable. I am blown away that the pop tab chain mail had any sort of defense to it at all! I wouldn't want to wear it into battle but it's certainly better than nothing.

Becasue men are more active and work more on average. Also height matters.
That knife sharpener isn't really good for sharpening anything. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend using it on a dollar store knife. It just rips metal off of the blade, and doesn't really make an edge.
A stone is better :v
Its fine if you know how to use it, I can make razor sharp edge with that sharpener.
thats literally how you make an edge, you aren't flattening it back down to an edge, you're shaving it back down to an edge. A stone is still better for that though
Project Farm tested that and it outperformed every other sharpener
ua-cam.com/video/KBINMUdlJ14/v-deo.html
It was tested and outperformed all the other ones lmao
5:00 it sounds like you're having issues because the sword is made out of crappy steel that isn't consistently hardened.
btw, your dad seems like a pretty cool guy
I was thinking poor edge geometry, but it might be a combination, given the look of this thing
He is using the same sharpening geometry for two entirely different widths. It has nothing to do with the quality of the steel.
He should really be using a sharpening stone not a kitchen knife sharpener made for a 3mm thick blade
Damn u guys would make sick blacksmiths
The sword he's using is designed for hema.
On top of being a softer material, the way pop tab chainmail is assembled classifies it as butted mail, meaning the only thing holding the rings together is the strength of the ring (and aluminium is not strong). Even against steel mail, if it's only butted, it can be stabbed through with enough force. Riveted mail is when the rings are closed again after being joined and makes it far, far stronger against stabs and cuts.
I love how there are just people jogging in the background while you are stabbing a dummy with a giant sword 😂

@@nellguy4828 you don’t bring your sword up to your shoulder it’s suppose to be versatile that’s not a two handed sword either
Those draw through sharpeners are kinda ok at sharpening the existing edge on a blade. What you're trying to do is create a cutting edge on a blade that doesn't have one at all. They can't do that.
I mean... Maybe with some extreme effort it's technically possible? Emphasis on the technically part, still a terrible idea.
They can barely do what they’re designed for. It’s better to learn how to do it properly.
@@henrikaugustsson4041yeah.. they really just mess up the blade in a way that makes it temporarily sharper, nothing like a proper sharpening. they really just tear up your edge. if you see what they do under a microscope, it’s pretty bad.
I love that at your age, your Dad is still helping you. That's actually awesome.
Nice! Although I think the slash more likely “disassembled” the mail rather than cutting through. If the tabs were connected, then the cuts welded or fused shut somehow, probably would withstand a couple more slashes
Even actual steel links would do about as well as these if they weren't welded or riveted like real mail.
I agree with your point it would've been stronger welded however a proper sword and an experienced user would probably be able to cut that target in half in one good cut , it's not very common knowledge anymore how much the user has to do with how much damage a sword cut will achieve. Constant edge alignment makes a huge difference as you can see with that second cut even with a blunt sword doing way more damage than the first one

Alternate title: Wholesome dad helps with medieval science project
its a good project, but seems to be intensive on labor (probably took 2-8 hours to put the tabs together, plus the hours cutting the tabs, idk how long that would take though as its much faster, just a bit annoying and messing up on a cut would make it more difficult to put the tabs together)
I see this, and my first thought was Shad and Metatron facepalming XD
Yup
Funny, I was watching Shad's video on the Spiked Pavise when I saw this in the watch list.
Two things to note:
1. butted mail (rings just bent together like the pop tabs) wasn't very protective either even when they were made of iron / mild steel. Proper chainmail had full rings alternating with riveted rings (where the spit rings were held together by rivets).
2. you'd almost always wear a padded arming jacket under your chainmail (called a gambeson or aketon) to protect you from the impacts that would still hurt you even if the mail didn't split. It would also insulate you better against the cold, because wearing a chainmail in cold weather is rough, because the cold mail would drain your body heat.

Not sure if this could make a difference but I believe it would, for I know from my woods experience that when you rely heavily on the sharpness of your axe/knife you become almost passionate about its edge. Because if you ever chopped wood with a perfectly sharpened and well balanced axe it does a surprisingly huge difference compared to one that is "just" sharpened. I can imagine that it was the same for a swordsman and his sword. Having the sword PERFECTLY sharpened and practicing well balanced swings and I reckon that it not only goes through the mail you would probably have split the dummy in half when you struck the exposed area like in your video.
