One of my viewers was asking about time and how long it takes to create a helmet. Building a viking helmet of this type takes around 40-45 hours from start to finish. Some of the process is actually quite quick so today I show you a video in real time on how I dish a couple helmet plates and also show you some of the specialized tools I use to create custom costume armour. This is 18 ga mild steel (0.048”) and is intended for costume use only.

In this series I will show the step by process of making a viking inspired helm. Join me in the shop as I layout the initial pattern on sheet metal and cut the pieces to shape. This is an excellent beginner armor project as building a helmet of this design is quite simple. I will be using brass, mild steel and showing all the armor techniques of a professional armorsmith in this series.

I’m Levi Woods, an Armorsmith and artist working in Vancouver, British Columbia. I love creating new videos to share my shop creations with you. I love all fantasy, medieval and science fiction movies and especially love crafting arms and armour for costumes and props departments. I’ve been building custom armor since 2000 and have worked as a professional movie prop costumer all over the world.
