I had a week to get my armour ready for re-enacting the Battle of Tewkesbury. This started with one day in the armourers' workshop.

Dented my armor?!? Sounds like a perfectly fine reason to declare a multi-generation feud.
-
Not only is your armour battle-ready, but it's battle-damaged too! Doesn't get more period than this!
-
The way to fix the dent is to remember what the guy who dented it looked like, and wait for the next Tewkesbury. Deal him a whopping great blow, and when he's lying on the ground, say something uncomplimentary about his mother. I'm taking this from my experience playing hockey, which, granted, is a little more brutal than medieval warfare.
-
I am glad to see that you managed to get to terms again and that the same armourer got to finish the job. Allways sad to end a relationship on a low note, happy to see things have improved
-
I'd be a bit more concerned that someone is hitting people with such force to cause that much damage to plate armor at a reenactment (as apposed to a tournament).
-
It was great to fight alongside you, hopefully again next year!
-
It was great to meet you Lloyd. I was very impressed by how you coped in the full armour and the heat. I think I may need to take up dance as a fitness regime before next Tewkesbury
-
At an American civil war reenactment, I ran out of cartridges so I "took a hit" and went face down. Then the line behind advanced over me and someone stepped on my canteen and put a great big dent in it. But now I have a story, and a canteen with less water capacity.
-
Perhaps my perspective is a bit skewed, what with being an SCA (rattan) combatant, but anyone hitting carbon heat-treated steel hard enough to do that with one blow? That's not only no accident, that's just dangerous. I think you should listen to your armourer for this one. Get it repaired properly once. You'll be kicking yourself otherwise.
-
It is interesting to see that the relationship between the armorer and the knight is a negotiation. Glad it worked out.
-
the "i'm gonna check wondrium to see if they have an armor repair course" was one of the best unexpected transitions i've ever seen!! XD
-
If someone hit your sturdy armor hard enough to dent it that badly, they're seriously a danger to other participants. Like bruh it's not even a tournament. He's lucky your plate wasn't aluminium.
-
The scratch is slightly cool in my opinion because it is a visual representation of the edge of a weapon very quickly hitting the armour and glancing off. Something that happened so quickly can put a story you can see and remember for so long. On the other hand the dent is not good at all and must be repaired.
-
He's finally doing it. I remember first watching a video about armour so many years ago.
-
We call them "resentful" here. A kind of nastier, more evil version of the "envious"
-
This probably happened to real knights on their first day wearing their shinny armour to battle. And they were pissed too.
-
Just what I needed to relax, Watching someone making armour in the 21 century, Thank you.
-
As I watch this, I keep thinking how they made this armor before power tools. They were amazing craftsman back then. I have immense respect for them.
-
Dave's 'new' apprentice looks to be in his 60s.

It is good to see that this project had a happy ending in spite of a turbulent process.
