A Step-by-Step Guide to Making a
Medieval Great Helm and Hourglass
Gauntlets, Fuller
Running Time: approximately 375 min, 4 DVDs
Learn the lost art of armor making from Peter
Fuller, one of the few modern masters of the craft.
Volume 1 covers every step of this project in
meticulous detail, including cutting the pieces, shaping, riveting,
polishing, and much, much more. The skills taught in this video
will not only enable you to make your own historically accurate,
battle-worthy helmet, they represent a comprehensive apprenticeship
in the armorer’s craft. In Volume 2, Fuller builds on the skills
he imparted in the first volume, taking you step-by-step through
the creation of the smaller, more detailed pieces that make up a
pair of hourglass gauntlets. He teaches you how to weld and sand
individual pieces into a strong assembly, anneal and shape brass to
make it easy to work, chase fine lines into your piece for historical
accuracy and polish even the smallest pieces of steel to a mirror
finish consistent with the appearance of 16th century armor.
Includes full-scale patterns for the gauntlets and specialized armormaking
tools, including the fluting tool.
Peter Fuller is a former curator of the historical arms and armor
exhibit at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Through years of painstaking research of authentic period armor,
he rediscovered the skills of traditional armorcraft. As owner of
Medieval Reproductions, Fuller has more than 21 years of experience
handcrafting the highest quality reproduction arms, armor
and period accessories for collectors all over the world. For more
