Greetings .
This is PART ONE of my viking helmet manufacturing comedy of errors.
In this post I blog my attempt to make a viking helmet using actual metal. Why, you ask? WHY NOT!? Is this not a country where a guy can wake up one morning and say: "I need a badass viking helmet!!"?. . I say it is!. .
Also. .Halloween. .
Anyway. I looked around the internet and got some ideas and so took a crack at it. If you are interested in making your own helmet, watch to the end because LOTS of mistakes are made along the way and (mostly) corrected.
Here I showoff the humble beginnings of my soon to be awesome viking beard.
This is the paper model I made for my kid. . He showed remarkably little interest in this.
The fencepost I use to make my planishing anvil.. Anybody have a shot-put?
Some tools
This is my uncut dishing-stump. Later, I carve a dish out of the top
22-Gauge steel. In hindsight I should have used heavier
Steel for the frame.. This worked fine for the plating, though.
The whole video! (The tank-top was a bad idea)
