Decorative borders on armour. Part One. Simple chisel work.

Decorative borders add a lot to armour and are relatively simple to make with a few very basic tools.

Lots of medieval decoration on armour was made using the simplest of tools as evidenced in the finished work. The same quality of work can be easily replicated using a small hammer and a couple of chisels and punches.

Pictures in this video come from the interwebs. A couple have come from Toby Capwell's Armour of the English Knight 1400 - 1450, his book is an absolute must for any student of armour. You can get a copy from here: https://wallacecollectionshop.org/products/armour-of-the-english-knight-1400-1450
