Whats up. Today i am building lightweight shoulder armor out of a 55 gallon plastic drum. No, not proof against all hits or projectiles, but is super lightweight, easy to make, cheaper than metal, and is still going to give a great deal of protection. As another bonus just 'cause i'm such a great guy, these pauldrons will double as sweet cosplay armor if you are into that sort of thing.
This build was a suggestion from one of you Loyal Subjects, if you've got a project idea or something you think I should build, please let me know! I can't build everything of course but I do love the ideas :)

Hey if you really wanted the, "metal feel" you could always make it out of a burning barrel, no clue how strong it would be. Considering the thickness, but they are pretty resilient. Also, that Pauldron looks wickedddddd. Also also, whatcha gunna do for 1K subs?

@jakemakes 5 лет назад

I thought about that! Actually I realized after making this that these barrels are kinda pricey. I couldn't find one for under $70 bucks. The metal drums are literally like $10 more. Not sure exactly how thick they are but I think that would be a very good idea. You can get a pretty good amount of armor out of one, so I think it would be one of the cheapest ways to get steel for it. I honestly have no idea what to do for 1k subs. Can't think of anything creative that i could pull off in enough time. And to be honest, pretty much every build i do is better enough than the last one to classify as a special project. I think im just going to a 2018 wrap up vid around new year though.

@LawnMowerProductions 5 лет назад

Sounds good, hope it works for ya!

@HellsingManiaco 5 лет назад

Never thought about using a plastic barrel for armor. Might try something like this for a costume I have in mind. Great vid!

You should do a flail test on the metal and the ABS plastic armor to see how each fair.

@jakemakes 5 лет назад

Yeah..... I want to do a video testing the plastic to see how tough it is, but i put so much work into the gauntlet that I don't think i could bring myself to damage it 😬😁

@magicalframe9441 4 года назад

A hoodie might stop the cut... Might... But it wont stop your collar bone from snapping

@jakemakes 4 года назад

True dat

@rohanengelbrecht516 4 года назад

you know you could use a heated metal nail or rod to cut through the plastic. it might be easier than a jigsaw.

@jakemakes 4 года назад

Nah the jigsaw is way faster. The plastic is too thick, the heated rod would cool too fast. Plus that would likely create some nasty fumes

Not gonna lie you'd be a pretty good larper with your skills in costuming(probably didnt spell that right) anyways i do alot of my work with metals i make masks and im working on a stop sign pauldron that i have yet to buy the needed tools for but i feel like your skills would come in handy you should search up dystopia rising we are always looking for somebody with crafting skills in anything tbh we have a marketplace for it and love the videos keep it up! (Facebook or we also have a discord)

@jakemakes 3 года назад

Sounds cool I’ll look it up

@tjmulligan3086 2 года назад

It looks awesome! But how long does the plastic need to have heat on it? Does the texture change when it gets hot, or too hot?

@jakemakes 2 года назад

I mean it can burn if you get it too hot. Just be a tad careful. It’s pretty forgiving.

@marcusfuckingwebb 4 года назад

Please explain how a hoodie will prevent slashing / stabbing? (This is a serious request.)

@jakemakes 4 года назад

Look up medieval gambeson

@jakemakes 4 года назад

Basically cloth does a pretty good job stopping blades. A lot more than people think. Not armor per say but it does turn a lot of cuts that would be bad into not much. You can watch all sorts of testing videos. The hoodie sweatshirt that I’m using is pretty hefty, it’ll do a decent job

@HappyMadScientist 5 лет назад

Could you make a knife sheath out of that stuff? It looks kinda like KYDEX. Might be a little thick though... run it through a planer?

@jakemakes 5 лет назад

Don't know if a planer would work but yeah, you could make a sheath out of it if it was thinner. It feels just like the stuff a regular five gallon bucket is made of. Kydex is more, well, less plasticy if you know what i mean. I think a five gallon bucket or pvc would be a better choice for sheathes cause they are thinner and cheaper though

@HappyMadScientist 5 лет назад

@@jakemakes Yeah I didn't think bout that... OK then make a sheath out of a bucket 😁

I know this is an older video but I'm about to attempt this with some thick broken plastic pipe I found. It's most likely PVC and the walls are just shy of a centimeter thick. I suppose that titanium would be better but it's too damned expensive! I'll let you know if this works.

@jakemakes 4 года назад

Good luck! I will tell you pvc (especially if it’s been out in the sun forever) is more brittle than this stuff. So I’m going to guess it will break if hit hard enough with a sword or the like

@liamthepyro 4 года назад

@@jakemakes Thanks! It's more for practicing making armor than actually working. It's the green drainage stuff so I doubt it has a UV resistant coating or whatever like PVC conduit has.
