Hey David, I'm a huge fan of your Legend Of Reason series. I can't wait for your next book to come out. Personally I would love to see the series on the big screen. I truthfully think that it could be a real hit.
Well thank you very much! I would absolutely love to have the series picked up for a movie or TV series. I have tried in the past to get the trailers in front of the Hollywood types, but I'm afraid they just won't give me the time of day. I even have a few "ins" in Hollywood. I am good friends with Bruce Willis's double, and I also know the fight coordinator for Gladiator and the Blade movies. I worked with both of them on my book trailer for Blood and Bronze, and that trailer is even listed on IMDB as a short film. But alas, unless I win the Mega Millions and fund it myself, it doesn't look like Hollywood will look my way any time soon.
I don't want to to get any hopes high, including my own. But my family is friends with a few people in the movie business. I am going to try to contact a friend that writes the scripts for some movies and TV shows. I'm hoping for the best.
Also, despite the fact that I have never (and probably will never) built armor, this seems like a very detailed and well-made tutorial. Props for being thorough and for encouraging safety!
So glad I've found your clip. Been wanting to make a gauntlet for a long time but had no idea of the process. Seems daunting at first but once you split it up in separate steps it seems pretty straightforward. I can practice using bunch of old pans and other stuff before shelling out for better quality steel.
UA-cam has apparently made some STUPID changes, making it very difficult for me to find and answer your comments. I am trying to figure things out so please be patient.
***** are you saying the new system is better cuz it has a bigger character limit? having a bigger character limit would be awesome on the old system changing it to allow that, would not require all these other changes and there was also the option to .. do more than 1 post :O
I hate the Channel layouts and options. That is so confusing then how it was. No improvement there. .And the Google + is a joke. The comments is the only thing that was improved. That loading area for comments received is a good idea, but it should be more simplified . As it stands, You-tube is a mess. Oh, and just try deleting your account. Its like trying to get a shredded shoe lace into the holes of a shoe. Or a yarn thread threw the eye of a thin sowing needle ...
Thanks, glad to be of help! I am working on more armor videos, yes. I get a lot of requests for a helmet. Trying to come up with a way to do it without welding.
A Winter Soldier sleeve would be incredible... My next project will be the Iron Man gauntlet in one of your other videos! Keep up the great work, Brah!
It appears UA-cam has removed the Inbox feature, so I can't read your message. But my files are now encoded. I can trace back any files illegally sold back to the original. And yes, he/she will be charged for any downloads they have distributed.
David Guyton No, it still works. But I have to admit, I cant find my inbox folder on the youtube site neither. But you will receive an email/notification. From there you can access your inbox. OR enter NextLevelInnovation on FB.
David Guyton Hope you mean LASER-GADGETS and not nextlevelcrap. Drop me an email via website. He is showing your gauntlet and a few others things, not sure who made them. Not him for sure.
I am using your template to make an armour out of mounting paper for my big brother and I love it, it looks so cool, you explain it very neatly, I am impressed and awestruck
bro..u have nice work...and I learned something new with out having 2 ask a ton of questions ..love how u explain every thing and step by step..seriously brother u did a good job..wow..keep up the good wrk man..
Looks like I'm going to need to invest in some hammers, an anvil, some brakes, clamps and vises, and a bunch of other stuff... ... Unless, of course, you offer completed gauntlets for sale...
if you'd actually be willing to get an anvil you'll never find a better price than at harbor freight it's basically the ross dress for less of tool stores like same weight anvil is $200 on other websites
This is mesmerizing. I need to get myself an anvil. And a ball-peen hammer. And most of the other tools. And the talent and expertise to pull any of this off.
The moronic UA-cam comment system is now telling me I cannot reply to comments. --- PHILIP EGAN --- Because during the filming I had to make changes. The parts you see in the video are shown before the final fitment and assembly. If I tried to assemble it like they appeared on the table in the video, the articulation would be horrible.
The trim I put around the edge is the same basic shape as the rest of the vambrace, and just riveted on (so it is two layers). Yes I used sandpaper and a scotchbrite pad to sand the surface and give it a brushed look. It will also hide any scratches from the building process, and help to hide future scratches as well. Just be sure to sand in the same direction for each part.
Yeah I get that, I just meant if you had made any. Like a quick video showcasing them. But to see a tutorial in the future would be awesome too. But yeah, that would be very time consuming. I completely understand.
Your tutorials are fantastic! Very clear and detailed without confusing with extraneous information. It makes me want to create some of my own designs and hammer them out!
David Guyton I'd really like to see the inside view of that thing. You know, like a view of the inner arm. The outside looks great. Just want to see underneath it, and the fastening system you have going. Thanks
No you do not have to pay for a template. You can use all the information I give in my videos and make your own template completely for free. If you want your project to go easier, you can pay a few dollars to save you a lot of work. You'll probably learn a lot more coming up with your own design though so I suggest you not buy a template.
El-Em-En-Oh For the kids like you that want to build this, you can buy a visa gift card for a couple of bucks, and $5 for a kid isn't that hard to find
The board is marked so that the hole can be lined up with the markings for the knuckles. The center of the knuckle is to be lined up with the center of the hole in the board. The hole is for the metal to bulge out into as you hammer it, raising the knuckles from the underside.
im not sure if you know me from a different one of your gauntlet vids but... i rewatched ZNA production's gauntlet vid and he said "madsivley bassed off of David Guyton's gauntled video's." so sorry for doubting the video and i hope that i could just be accepted as a big mystake and i apologize for doubting you.
+David Guyton at first i didnt see the while gauntlet ispirated by thing. So i just thought i would apologize. edit- also brass is a good starting metal to test your gauntlet work
I used the copper rod because it is larger and would look better. It also allowed me to make rivets that had a hammered texture. You could use the rapid rivets, sure. And for the bone structure, you could try putting a ball peen hammer in a vise and using it as an anvil (see my Version 2 tutorial where I use this method)
a female welder! Glad to see you smashing stereotypes! To answer your question, yes, you can scale it down with your printer or with a photocopier after printing. A guy did this to make one for his son and it came out perfect. You can also just cut the pieces a little smaller instead of scaling down. Probably easiest to just scale down though. You can comment, PM or email me if you need any help
Template prints out to 5 pages I think, so you'll need about that much in metal. Rivets were 1/2" and 3/4" inch, I think. Any size rivets should work though. I think the copper rod was 1/4"
no, there's nothing folded over. There's just a trim piece at the outer edge that I riveted on with copper rivets. The metal is doubled up there, but it's not that thick. The template explains how to do this in the instructions
Nice technique using the thumbtacks to hold together the paper... I used brass/copper pipe tip ends for the tips of the fingers - think copper tubing ends used by a plumber
Hey there. Thank you so much for your video. I do plan on making a gauntlet for future reference for a future costume, and your metal and art skills are perfect. I also do plan on purchasing this specific pattern for supporting you. Hope all is well.
You my good sir, are an armor making god. I plan to use these amazing videos of yours to create some armor for a show I'm going to do. I thank you and totally subscribed.
Omg this is awesome, i know what im doing next year. Im a artist and lately i've been drawing up some pretty sick armor but with these tutorial i can make some insane stuff!!
You'll do great! It may take a while to get the hang of it, but metal is actually a lot more forgiving than most people realize. Once you get past the cutting the rest is fun.
+Von Ponyi well I do have the gauntlet template and also a matching leg armor template available in this design so far. More to come when I can get around to it.
for future reference, it is really easy to make rivets out of polished brass casings (Bullet casings that is), they are usually durable enough to hold up, and are brass.
I would just place the parts on the glove without riveting at first, and then mark the glove with a pen so that you know where to poke holes through the glove for the rivets.You may find you need to trim some pieces to fit your hand perfectly, however this gauntlet is not ultra-precise, and it should fit your hand fairly well without any modification.
It appears that Google/UA-cam has made some changes to the comments options. Give it a day or two and see if you are able to do it. It used to be an option right under the comments box that you type into, but it appears it is gone now.
Wow.... 3 MILLION VIEWS! thank you guys so much for being a part of this journey!

TWO MILLION VIEWS! Thank you all for helping to make this video so popular
Не проблема, пишы если чё
It is an impressive bit of DIY. I hope we see more like this from you in the future.
Can you make me a gauntlet
Where can i get the steels ? Does it sells online ?
imagino una armadura completa. Es la perfección. Como de un cuento de Tolkien ♡
Master Hephaestus I bow in front of a lot of art and dedication.
Your videos are great and deep inspiration.
With passion and respect

Just wait until you guys see the latest tutorial I am working on. Really neat stuff. I hope to have it up in a few days. Very early December.
LET'S TRY AN EXPERIMENT. +1 this comment if you hate UA-cam's new comment system.
***** are you saying the new system is better cuz it has a bigger character limit?
having a bigger character limit would be awesome on the old system
changing it to allow that, would not require all these other changes
and there was also the option to .. do more than 1 post :O
ye ok now u win .. :)

Thanks, glad to be of help! I am working on more armor videos, yes. I get a lot of requests for a helmet. Trying to come up with a way to do it without welding.
If I had the time, recourses, and patience, I would totally do this.
I believe this is the first time I thought to myself "wow, this is so much more than what I was looking for" while looking for a UA-cam tutorial o.o
4 million views! Thanks to all of you who have come here to check out this video!
Yeah ur welcome.
Can u just make me a set ill buy xD
subed your works is amazing
Dude, hm you want for it?
EliteGamezz money
THANK YOU THANK YOU for not having any inane background music. Excellent tutorial and narration!
Reminds me of the Sauron armor. Very good work.
Same.
A Winter Soldier sleeve would be incredible... My next project will be the Iron Man gauntlet in one of your other videos! Keep up the great work, Brah!

New armor video coming very soon!
Is there any chance that i can get the template for free there is no way for me to get the template because im a kid 13
Alex King Save some money, go buy a VISA gift card at the local drug store, then buy the template.
shut up and take my money
Are you a blacksmith?
just a regular guy making armor in his garage.
bro..u have nice work...and I learned something new with out having 2 ask a ton of questions ..love how u explain every thing and step by step..seriously brother u did a good job..wow..keep up the good wrk man..
Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed the video

william houdeshell the six years are now over. Your wish is granted.
i think it will be real in 2021
*"21 days in 2021. Nothing's now, still waiting in my bunker."*
just recently realized. I have been following this channel and watching it's videos for almost half my life. i feel old man...
well goodness imagine how old I must feel!
Looks like I'm going to need to invest in some hammers, an anvil, some brakes, clamps and vises, and a bunch of other stuff...
...
Unless, of course, you offer completed gauntlets for sale...
Yeah, but *where's the fun in that ?*
Arthur Moe-Mux-Hagi exactly it would be like this Oh yea THERE IS NONE
@@moemuxhagi i dont have friends
if you'd actually be willing to get an anvil you'll never find a better price than at harbor freight
it's basically the ross dress for less of tool stores
like same weight anvil is $200 on other websites
If you buy a gauntlet like this, then you are missing the point. Determination and intellect can make up for any shortcomings in equipment.
Yet ANOTHER new armor tutorial coming soon! Hopefully a few days from today (11/26/14)
This is mesmerizing. I need to get myself an anvil. And a ball-peen hammer. And most of the other tools. And the talent and expertise to pull any of this off.
2010!!! wow, I missed this one... Nice job David! You show us the art is not totally lost
Hey man this was Awesome!!!! it looks amazing and your tutorial is perfect, keep up the great work!
I would love to spend a week with you and show designs of armor I would love to have, not specifically real metal but cool designs
Archist im sure a blacksmith would take your commission request and build it for you. Infact i know you would find someone to do it

you should make a full body armor .I bet you could get a years worth or living off one sell, you're really good.
a full plate armours price is around 1000-1400 dollars. Minus the money spent on creating it (not counting the time).
what a skill! They look and move great!
Agreed. I'm glad you can appreciate the process. Most people don't
This guy's deadpan delivery was weirdly hilarious.
What armor tutorial would you like to see next?
chest piece please
David Guyton Chest pieeeeeeecceeeee!!!
chest piece!!!!!!!!
Leather armor cuirass. That'll be interesting to watch.
I would love to see a tutorial on boot covers that goes up the knees.
And the most awesome guy of the year award goes to...
haha thanks. I try
Welcome. I would like to see any full sets that you have made. That would be awesome!
I get a lot of equests for a full suit...but right now I just don't have that kind of time. Hopefully in the near future.
Yeah I get that, I just meant if you had made any. Like a quick video showcasing them.

David Guyton MAKE THE INFINITY GAUNTLET
I remember when I was a kid and I made gauntlets like this.. but it was made out of paper L0L
I'm not sure I could make this out of paper now, even.
Would I be able to use a similar technique (with no knowledge on this sort of stuff) to make a metal robot suit?
Sure, I don't see why not
David Guyton Great
👍
The board is marked so that the hole can be lined up with the markings for the knuckles. The center of the knuckle is to be lined up with the center of the hole in the board. The hole is for the metal to bulge out into as you hammer it, raising the knuckles from the underside.
You forgot to put in the gemstones sure whatever they're called?
lol he thinks it's an infinity gauntlet
Professor! You're alive? I KNEW IT!!!!!
Wow 6 years later...
I want one but I can't make one
yes you can.
Dont let your dreams be dreams
***** so get the tools. These tools are not expensive and tools in general are never a waste of money. We will always need tools in our lives.
JUST DO IT
Im a lover of armor, but have no way in hell am able to make it!, well maybe a can make a fake one out of foam plastic and other materials...
Best tutorials and templates out there. A very skilled man sharing what he knows
im not sure if you know me from a different one of your gauntlet vids but... i rewatched ZNA production's gauntlet vid and he said "madsivley bassed off of David Guyton's gauntled video's." so sorry for doubting the video and i hope that i could just be accepted as a big mystake and i apologize for doubting you.
I do remember that and I appreciate you saying that. No harm no foul
+David Guyton at first i didnt see the while gauntlet ispirated by thing. So i just thought i would apologize.
edit- also brass is a good starting metal to test your gauntlet work
Are you a wizard?
İt's a dwarven gauntlet :))
Wow kudos man, that is aesthetically very pleasing to the eye to watch the parts move together. Very great work. Impressed
The articulation is amazing!! You did an amazing job at allowing for natural mobility!
One of the most beautiful things ever made by a man.
Who thumbs down this. You're tutorials and work are awesome
I used the copper rod because it is larger and would look better. It also allowed me to make rivets that had a hammered texture. You could use the rapid rivets, sure. And for the bone structure, you could try putting a ball peen hammer in a vise and using it as an anvil (see my Version 2 tutorial where I use this method)
a female welder! Glad to see you smashing stereotypes! To answer your question, yes, you can scale it down with your printer or with a photocopier after printing. A guy did this to make one for his son and it came out perfect. You can also just cut the pieces a little smaller instead of scaling down. Probably easiest to just scale down though. You can comment, PM or email me if you need any help
a whitney punch could really bring your game up a level. nice work man!
Thank you all for making these armoring videos so popular! I am very grateful
You've got a great range of motion in that thing, and it looks better than a lot of fantasy armour I've seen in films.
thx for the tutorial. I enjoyed how it wasn't dependent on a lot of machining and electric tools.
That gauntlet is bad ass. You make it look a lot easier than i'm sure it is. Great work!
New armor tutorial coming probably tomorrow 11/7!
Design took a few weeks, as did fabrication. This was my first project using metal, and I am slower than most. Probably 5 weeks total
Template prints out to 5 pages I think, so you'll need about that much in metal. Rivets were 1/2" and 3/4" inch, I think. Any size rivets should work though. I think the copper rod was 1/4"
I FINALLY got it done, and although it didn't turn our as flawless as yours I'm still so happy now ^_^
congratulations!
dude i made one out of the stainless steel and wow it looks amazing. i impressed myself, thanks for the vid man... New subscriber.
jensen lara glad to have been an inspiration!
You sir have some serious metal working skills. Toally awesome!
I really admire people who are this prepared for the apocalypse. When those times come, this will be useful as hell.
no, there's nothing folded over. There's just a trim piece at the outer edge that I riveted on with copper rivets. The metal is doubled up there, but it's not that thick. The template explains how to do this in the instructions
Nice! And, boy, I like the paper version too - what a great costume prop that alone would make.
they are called "leather rivets" or "rapid rivets" Ebay is a good place to find them. Hobby Lobby has them too if you have one of those nearby
Nice technique using the thumbtacks to hold together the paper... I used brass/copper pipe tip ends for the tips of the fingers - think copper tubing ends used by a plumber
Hey there. Thank you so much for your video. I do plan on making a gauntlet for future reference for a future costume, and your metal and art skills are perfect. I also do plan on purchasing this specific pattern for supporting you. Hope all is well.
when I look at it it feels like its part animation the movement and all and that is awesome
Because it's about 1/3 the cost of brass, and it's stronger and much easier to find. You can certainly do it in brass though if you really want to.
Very, very nice and very easy to follow. Hope you do more.
You my good sir, are an armor making god. I plan to use these amazing videos of yours to create some armor for a show I'm going to do. I thank you and totally subscribed.
Glad I could be of help! Please keep me posted on your show!
I sure will my good sir, i sure will. Your videos will even provide a cheaper way to build armor and have more money for other great additions.
Totally going to make this out of craft foam dude, you do awesome stuff
This looks amazing! I may give this a shot with fiberglass and resin :)
Stellar! I'm gonna make a pair as soon as I get the material. There is a couple things I would change but that pretty much was a great tutorial.
Omg this is awesome, i know what im doing next year. Im a artist and lately i've been drawing up some pretty sick armor but with these tutorial i can make some insane stuff!!
Amazing craftsmanship and artistry
looks like Gabriel Belmont guantlet, beautiful work
Bought the templates some days ago, and tomorrow i will get the materials, wish me luck on asembling it.
You'll do great! It may take a while to get the hang of it, but metal is actually a lot more forgiving than most people realize. Once you get past the cutting the rest is fun.
@@DavidGuyton I don't own an anvil, but i think i can still do it!
Awesome! I am a first time cosplayer and can't wait to get started!
That is pretty awesome. I wish I had me a little workshop like that.
Man nice work! the finished product looks great
I am surprise that no one has put together a body armor starter kit to sell yet. Thats would be a big sale for ya. Very nice video
+Von Ponyi well I do have the gauntlet template and also a matching leg armor template available in this design so far. More to come when I can get around to it.
