When complete the finished armor weighs 20 kilo's, which is roughly 44.0924 pounds, and has taken eight weeks for him to complete. By using fire and oil he is able to make the finished chain mail with an old/worn look. After making the helmet, he makes the chain mail from a machine he built specifically for the job. She is able to make the designs and worn-out look with paint.Īfter finishing off the gauntlets and shoulder pieces, Stephan makes the helmet, but it takes him six weeks to finish! He uses a plasma torch to slice to the steel and a neumatic hammer to flatten the helmet and shape it to his liking. To make the sword, it must be heated to 850 degrees celsius then quickly dunked in water so it can harden, then he sharpens it and you get a very dangerous weapon! Stephan's wife, who is a skilled costume designer, makes the fabric parts of the outfit. To make the shield they use an old boat building technique and Stephan's wife uses stain to give the shield a battle worn look. He uses plaster to make the upper body, when the fire reaches 1200 degrees celsius Stephan then brings the hot armor over to a hollow tree trunk to pound the grooves into the chest plate. Using the images he got from From Software, Stephan, the master blacksmith, starts making the armor.
