Making the full-body Sauron armor in sheet steel..! (LOTR)

Hey friends! Here's the complete rundown on crafting the full steel laminated armor for Sauron from Lord of the Rings!

Tutorials Sauron's helmet and gloves are in other videos on my channel:

   • Making sauron's helmet 100% steel pla...   gloves

This project was done by cold forging 18 and 20-gauge laminated steel. Some parts were welded using electric welding. The pieces were darkened by burning the metal to achieve a worn-out black color!

To assemble the pieces for wearing on the body, I used cowhide leather and steel buckles to reinforce tension!

I have to confess, I didn't save the templates for this project. As I experimented with shapes, the templates changed a lot, so I mostly tossed them in the trash. Sorry!

Hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did! For Tolkien fans, I'll soon start working on the armor Fingolfin wore when facing Morgoth in the Silmarillion!
