Dystopian (or Mandolorian) METAL ARMOR technique 

Awesome how you give credit to the other channels and participate in the community. Keep up with the awesome videos

You may find this weird but I cant even begin to explain how useful your channel is to Orc LARPers as well

May I make a suggestion? I really love your videos, I've been watching them for a long time. My favorite one so far is your workshop video, I've watched it several times and I pick up something new each time. The reason I love that video so much is that it's very hands on, and you're interacting directly with all your stuff. It was very engaging and continues to be very informative. I feel like the videos you set up where you're scrolling through images on your PC aren't as engaging. Still incredibly informative, and I utilize or note all the information given, but I don't feel as excited, it's like sitting through a PowerPoint presentation in class. Again, I hope you don't take this too personally, or as some sort of aggressive criticism, I just wanted to express my opinion a little. Keep up the great work, I've learned a lot from you and I value the information!

You can get 2mm Aluminium at most stores specialized on metal long- and sheet-goods, in Germany those are called "Baubeschlag- und Metallhandel" most of the time, i know there was one in Dortmund from which i bought my aluminium perfboards. Also a tipp for cutting it, unles its hardened or high grade alloy composition like "aircraft grade aluminium", a circular saw for wood can also cut up to 3mm aluminium, so if you have one with a miter slide its a good idea to get straight edges. Ofc a cheap blade with a high tooth counts is the best idea for this as you wont have to worry about a cheap one as much as youd worry about an expensive one. And yes also a router with cheap bits works if you dont have an CnC or dont want to spend the money on NoFe Bits, just be carefull to not take of to much material at once or it might stall or lock in.

If you are in the U.S. you can use old stop signs for aluminum plating (show the back side)

I genuinely love this channel, thank you! Need to work on my practical skills. Very impressive work :)

3:49 my boy zna got a shoutout!

I just came here from one of Eli's videos! Nice tutorial too

This looks great, I love it! Will you make a tutorial for how to make armour from bicycle tires? Your tutorials and videos are very good and I learn so much from you!

ZedNoughtAlpha - cool Guy

I think jagged edges looked nice! Perfect symmetry in the apokalypse seems unlikely ;)

AMG I love your videos so much!

so good :D nice armor plate good job and a lot of good idea ;)

Welding gloves will work great for sanding your metal just a little advice from a welder but otherwise I agree gloves do get in the way and can grab the belt sander and I would advise doing that outside if possible aluminum dust is toxic

i will work on my first on in summer, i wll post it t oyou, thanks for sharing your knowledge

Love this video and your channel bro but that flipping stamping on the keyboard is a no no dude. Thanks for the work on this one, great help.

Awsome as ever! Now where did i put my aluminum

Thumbs up for spider jizz

Beautiful work

great video! I've used some of your techniques for the new DR:OK chapter. Question on possible materials: how do you feel about using 2mm ABS plastic sheets to heat up and shape for the armor plates?

Thank you for the great and inspiring videos. can you also recommend another metal that is as easy to work with as aluminum? I don't really want to work with aluminum because of the health hazards.

The fact he knows zna 😍

Looks like a movie prop

Finally, new video!

So what kind of jacket is that? Been looking for something similar. Thank you. :)

Wegen diesem Video werde ich mir jetzt so eine für die resi bauen. Danke für den geilen Content Weisst du ao rüstungen dieser art bei der Resi "schütztn "vor kugeln? Mach weiter so!;)

Woooooo new vid!!!

I realise this is an older video but I would like to know what the harness you used for the armour is? I would like to make a similar piece for a LARP character

And remember kids: *"Nothing is more metal than metal"*

How good will the dirt etc stay on when its a rainy con? Im really scared of everything getting washed of in the rain

Increible...me encanta

What size screws do you for the attachment? I have some #10 screws that are 4.826mm but they look too large for this purpose. I guess it doesn't really matter with the finished product, but still curious as to what you use.

What exaxt vest did you use and where is a good online source?

For us yanks, 2 mm is about .08 inches, or 14 gauge...

oooo could I get the template, I love it

What exactly is the material you used as upholstery /lining for the original piece? You mention something about canvas or cordura, but im not sure.

Any idea how to make armored Biker vests?

what grit do you use on the belt sanders?

Would love you to do a how to make this vast armour

What is thickness of the EVA foam that your normally use?

Really great to see new video, but stop smacking that keyboard so strongly - it's annoying as hell xD

Just punching them keys lol

What was the starting vest called please?

Wait did you deadass use like a cheap ballistic vest for this costume?

Красиво, жалко сабов на русском нет. А так вы молодец!

:D Weiße Socken und Jesuslatschen, deutscher gehts nicht :D

where do you generaly find stuff or straps

That is a cross peen hammer

What vest is that?
