Great video guys! I usually watch/comment from another channel but I wanted to say you guys are an inspiration. I also follow you on Instagram. Eventually want to dip my toes into armor making when I have a chance to fix up my shop and when I'm done recovering from surgery. This channel will be a great resource when that time comes. Keep up the good content.
David this is so encouraging for us to hear. Inspiring and giving our audience the tools to explore armour making practically or even mentally are the core goals of our channel and hearing that we are accomplishing that means so much. Good luck when you the time comes to raise the hammer!
Thanks so much! Our team puts our absolute maximum into every aspect of these videos especially the video production. It's encouraging to hear its hitting the spot
in japan, theirs a technique similar to raising called "shibori". I said one of the craftsmen that their is a simmilar technique used to make armour in europe, and he said that with "shibori" you rather work outwards instead of inwards. and the intresting thing is, it doesn't thin the metal. anyways I'm still can't learn how to raise
Very interesting Taku. Love this insight! Do you have a link you could send us even via insta or facebook to follow this up? Really interested to learn more
@@IronCrownWorkshop I don't think there is any websites or anything online of the place I went because it was a old family-run workshop... I think they were making kettles or something? I don't think there are many articles in english about "shibori" because it comes up mostly with a japanese dying technique.
@@IronCrownWorkshop sadly I don't remember where it is. I only vaguely remember my grandparents taking me to there. but I think there are still simillar workshops somewhere in japan. If I ever go to japan again I'll try find it.
I love these videos -- definitely the most informative on UA-cam! Is thinner or thicker steel easier to learn with? Also, what's the best thickness/material for the cold rivets you use?
It's so great to see all of the workshop and tooling improvements coming into play as you work. It must be super satisfying.
It is quite satisfying! It's so nice to actually put them to use and enjoy the hard work that has been put in
Good writing and presentation! It comes through very cleanly and the visuals do a great job of demonstrating what you describe.
Love this channel. Too little channels that actually make historically accurate armor content.👌
Thank you for saying so! Very encouraging to hear that and agreed!

I'm astonished how small your channel is considering the wonderful content and all the polish.
The polish of video quality, not just in the metals.

Truly facinating man! Do you think you'll revisit the location sometime in the future?
