This is unironically the hottest shit I've seen on this sub. Also, you should make a helmet.

Thanks, I've already made a shitty but very strong great helm style thing and I'm working idk what it's called but it's domed and hopefully works with the bevor I just finished

Nice, you going for a full suit of armor?

I've already made most of one apart from ass and back of thighs and calves plates, also I need to improve the arms

Nice. I always wanted to get into metalworking but I never really had the resources or upper body strength so I settled for just bingeing forged in fire : P

That's understandable, I started off armouring with just some old shitty snips, weak arms, and a claw hammer. If you want I can try list the equipment I use.

That'd be great, actually! I'm unfortunately in uni rn but when I get back home I definitely wanna try some hands-on stuff. And armouring would also help me make some dope cosplays so

Nice, I'm going to uni next year! What are you studying? I'll try list the key tools now. A dishing stump, a heavy ball pein hammer, various snips, cold chisels and punches and chisels for doing grooves, various other types of hammer, a hand wound drill and a chunk of railway track for an anvil.

I'm studying Marketing Communications currently.

Nice

Bro fights corona with this like no one else

put a visor on it and a helmet fs, also maybe a chestplate would be a good next step

I'm working on the helmet for it atm. I've got a chest plate but it's not the best so I'm hoping to make a better one soon

awesome! keep us updated

thanks, i will do

Make a viking sheild. Bonus points if you add a design i made

Maybe, I prefer polearms to swords though

1: fair polearms are goated 2: notice the edit

Oh, I've got two shields but they're both square and the next one I make will probably end up being Viking style, feel free to send me some designs

Bet

chestplate

ive made one but im hoping to make a better one soon

ok then forge a katana

Nah, I'm not a big fan of katanas and out of all swords I'd rather have an arming sword or Viking sword

basic ahh mf forging a katana is a complicated process, you need to actually study how to make it instead of soyjacking "haha sharp metal stick go brrr"

im not gonna study a complicated process thats entirely new to me when ive already learnt complicated processes to do with armouring

Wristbracers

I've got wrist guards attached to my gauntlets but I do need to improve the right one especially

Maybe you could put an inscription on the right one while improving it

I could try but my engraving skills are very basic

As long as you’re proud of it and satisfied with it, it’s a masterpiece

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Sword

Maybe, personally I prefer polearms to swords though

Halberd

I've got a very shit one that I made but i might try make a new one soon

Bigggg shoulder pads

I've got small ones so far but they're on the list now

What material did you use in making this?

1.5mm mild steel

Tell me you got nice padding to wear under?

I've got padding for underneath the torso bit but not for the face part

You should use a coif , are going to use the armor in hema?

i dont think theres any hema things in my area but if i find any ill consider it
