Steel Armor - Failed Sallet Test

I tried to make a German Sallet helmet, but the outcome didn't show as expected. I have to start again with a new helmet.

Trate de hacer un yelmo Celada alemán, pero el resultado no fue lo que se esperaba. Tengo que volver a empezar de nuevo con otro yelmo.




What i expected   --------- ----------- ---------- ------------  What i got

Steel helmet 1

With trial and error, i succeed in making my first 24.cal steel Close medieval helmet.i It took me one week to finish it. My arms were in pain, because of too much hammering. A blacksmith near my house helped me to blend the pieces.

Steel Armor (my first test)

I'm still a novice on blacksmith stuff, since i still don't have enough space and money to buy the entire equipment like a furnace. This day i bought 24 Cal steel plate, 4x10 feet long, enough to make myself a full plate armor. I was thinking on using 12 cal steel plate, but its too strong, too expensive, i still lack of the appropriate equipment.

With a metal scissors, i cut a small part of the corner of the steel plate as a test, just to know if this is going to work on making something rounded, like a helmet. I felt great when i tried it and worked.

Indeed, i was working on a tree trunk

NosoN Art Logo


Noson means "night" in welsh language. I choose that language since i like Celtic and Norse culture, but i choose Celt for the name. The logo is a great pedestal carrying the moon. The night is beautiful, cold, mysterious, fascinating, scary, romantic, and overwhelming. You do things you don't do in the day time, form the most beautiful thing, to the most horrible.  But the darkness doesn't let us see what is there in the night, so the full moon is what illuminates the night time and shows us  its full beauty, but also its scary side.
