Armor-Making Tools

Just found this video of Adam Savage visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art workshop. This is one of a few videos he recorded about their tools and armor collection.
"The largest single collection of armorer's tools in the world resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they're put to use in the Arms and Armor conservation lab to restore artifacts for display. Adam visits the workshop where Associate Conservator Sean Belair shows Adam some of the more arcane and esoteric tools used over a century ago to forge armor!"
