Knight in shining armor
Yesterday my son informed me that he needed some stuff for school
regarding knights armor. In time as usual. So we skipped our plans and tried to make a steel body armor plate. A bit like Spanish breastplate. Not accurate just some ideas we found on google. We used 0.8mm steel. First real try on the beat roller after sanding down the sharp edges on the dies and using some wd40. Hammered the beat close with a hammer. Up to now we play with ali but steel works very nice. In the end this thing took us almost the whole day but we loved it. All kinds of techniques were used. Stump shrinking and wheeling machine for smoothing and some additional shape. armour001.jpg armour002.jpg armour003.jpg armour004.jpg armour005.jpg armour006.jpg armour007.jpg armour008.jpg armour009.jpg armour010.jpg Kind regards, Frank and Bram
