Default Knight in shining armor

Yesterday my son informed me that he needed some stuff for school
regarding knights armor. In time as usual. So we skipped our
plans and tried to make a steel body armor plate. A bit like
Spanish breastplate. Not accurate just some ideas we found on
google. We used 0.8mm steel. First real try on the beat roller after sanding down the sharp
edges on the dies and using some wd40. Hammered the beat close
with a hammer. Up to now we play with ali but steel works very nice. In the end this thing took us almost the whole day but we
loved it. All kinds of techniques were used. Stump shrinking
and wheeling machine for smoothing and some additional shape.
