Making the full-body Sauron armor in sheet steel..! (LOTR)

  • Hey friends! Here's the complete rundown on crafting the full steel laminated armor for Sauron from Lord of the Rings!
    Tutorials Sauron's helmet and gloves are in other videos on my channel:
    • Making handmade Sauron... Helmet
    • Making sauron's helmet... gloves
    This project was done by cold forging 18 and 20-gauge laminated steel. Some parts were welded using electric welding. The pieces were darkened by burning the metal to achieve a worn-out black color!
    To assemble the pieces for wearing on the body, I used cowhide leather and steel buckles to reinforce tension!
    I have to confess, I didn't save the templates for this project. As I experimented with shapes, the templates changed a lot, so I mostly tossed them in the trash. Sorry!
    Hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did! For Tolkien fans, I'll soon start working on the armor Fingolfin wore when facing Morgoth in the Silmarillion!

    • @jojo_dipshit
      @jojo_dipshit День тому +1

      I mean, real medieval armor was about 30-55 pounds (15-25 kilos), about as much as a modern soldier carries (including weapons, ammo, and backpack). This is made of pretty similar if maybe slightly thinner steel, so it’s probably about as bad as being 30-40 pounds (15-20 kilos) heavier. Not too bad for someone who does a lot of active work like, say, a blacksmith for example.
