Step back in time with Kevin Hicks and Alex Gray from Lancaster Armoury as they chat about how both a knight and a common soldier would repair his armour while on campaign. This isn't a tutorial, but a fascinating insight into how a medieval knight and man at arms would maintain and repair their equipment. Hammering out dents in armour, replacing worn out straps, replacing broken links in mail, would all be painstakingly undertaken whilst on campaign, with tools that are still familiar today.
The team at Lancaster Armoury specialise in munition quality and bespoke armour as well as weapons. Their attention to detail and historical accuracy is second to none, you can check out some of their inventory at http://www.lancasterarmoury.co.uk
