Well done! It is a shame so many comments are focused criticism. If one can criticise, do it with a video link of how you can do it better! I would love to be able to find the dimensions of the Gjermundbu helmet. From that I can make my own templates. Again well done and keep up the good work!
The "pop rivets" are called Cleco Pins. Thay are used for temporarily holding sheet metal etc. together. I have a Spangenhelm sitting next to me that I am currently building. It is held together by nuts and bolts. I need to forge the tools to set the rivets. As soon as the weather warms up...
Then why did they use them all thruout histroy? The knowlige of hardening and heat treatmend is a relatively modern technology. And the quality of Moden steel was nearly unreachable with medieval methodes.
@@howler6490 early medieval swords where not hardened as we think of today. They where forged out wich adds some hardness to the material as well as carbon. sometimes they were accidently case hardened as well, if the blacksmith cooled the hot piece in water. But that has nothing to do with real hardening.
