A new project. A new hope. My next suit of armour (YouTube)

I hope you really do like them long, because this one is LONG. hqdefault.jpg (YouTube)

With one week to go to Tewkesbury, could I get my armour to a wearable state? Includes ancient Egypt, and some spectacular cradles. Can I finish my armour in one week? (YouTube)

I had to get my armour ready for the refight of the Battle of Tewkesbury. Here, you see me spend a day at the workshop, where several things were sorted out. Racing to get my armour ready (YouTube)

This one scrapes in in April! I'm not happy with the picture quality. It is very 'noisy' for some reason. Anyway - one hour of me rabbiting on about armour. Thank you thank you, dear patrons, for making this possible. It took four years to get the plates out of the armourer, and then a pandemic hit,

I think the title describes this one fairly well. Interviewing re-enactors at two events in the north of England. Roman kit: featuring armour, swords, spears, artillery, rations, deckchairs, and of course shoes. (YouTube)

You've not been charged for this one. That would be wrong. Answers to four of my commonest questions. Update of projects! Hannibal! Armour! Other stuff! (YouTube)

Can you guess what the forbidden word was (in the Audible promo)? Modern armour for sword fighting (YouTube)

I have been away abroad for some while, as you will soon see in up-coming videos, so I have fallen a bit behind with announcements here. Sorry about that, but I was _very_ far from home. Before I left, I scheduled three videos to be published while I was away, and this is the first of them. My helme

Again, you get this for free, because you paid for the boots in the first place. Thank you. The armourer now has these boots and is working on the metal to cover them. Boots for sabatons (YouTube)

I made a video about the gloves that I told you about ages ago. The gauntlets for them have now been made, but not quite finished. Since you bought me the gloves, I will not charge you for this video, because it seems a bit of a cheek to charge you to see the things that you paid for in the first pl

You are getting this a day early, before the rest of the world sees it. The armour you are financing is taking shape, and so far I'd say that the shape is good. Here I pick up my finished leg armour, and after the final adjustments on it are made, I get to take it home. I am also fitted for my back

This video is for patrons only. You are paying for the armour, so you get to see the first bits first. I also talk about the different ways I could spend your money. You have not been charged for this video. First look at new armour, and how should I spend your money? (YouTube)

I made this armour when I was seventeen, and that was when I was in a boarding school in the country, before the internet got going, so I had just my memory and a couple of books I owned to go on. It is like the child I am ashamed of, now being shown to the world for the first time. My first ever ar

An update on the armour you are paying for! I get fitted for the greaves and breastplate. The fit on these is critical, whereas other parts such as tassets and cuisses can be made by working from measurements alone. Current estimate is mid-August for the finished legs (minus sabatons), and a fitting

I test my ability to put on a hoplite panoply against the clock. Will the Romans get to me before I'm ready? Donning hoplite armour (YouTube)

Place your bets - will it penetrate? Longbow versus breastplate - which will win? (YouTube)
