As with any craft, you need certain tools to make medieval plate armor. These are listed in the general order by which I acquired my own tools:
- Anvil
- Yellow Plastic-Head Hammer
- Tapered Hole Punch
- Small Ball Pein Hammer
- Large Ball Pein Hammer
- Small screws, nuts, washers for pre-assembly
- Round-Head Solid Rivets
- Garland Split-Head Rawhide Mallet
- Throatless Lever Shear
- Sheet of Cowside Leather
- Leather Strap Cutter
- Various Tool Stakes (T-Stake, Ball, Pipe, Mushroom, etc)
