How to Make: Berserker Raider Helmet (Fallout 4 Inspired)

So i found this video from one of my favorite gadget and weapon makers on YouTube. it is an awesome fall out inspired helmet/mask. I hate to admit that kid much younger then me is actually a better creator then i am but its true. i get very inspired by see his builds. and unlike a lot of people he doesn't just give you plans to copy him he actual try to motivate you to make your own designs. he give you a base over view and walks you through how you could make a custom one yourself. i would really love to make one of these but lack several tools to do so like I'm sure a lot of people who see this do. so i thought i would share my idea on modifying this for tool lacking individual.

Now the main tool i lack is of course the welder. as much a i would love to learn welding i lack both the funds to purchase one and a teacher to learn from. To combat this the welds can be simulated by use mending plates and rivets or bolts to secure sections of the mask together. it will be bigger bulkier and less sturdy but will do for those of us with out a couple hundred to a thousand to drop on a mig welder. 

the good things about the apocalyptic genera is the more shit and cobbled together is appears the better, you can fuck up and keep on going it doesn't mater. which is personally why i love the medium so much. 

while i have an angel grinder like he does, which depending on where you go will run you 20 to 30 dollars, the cuts in it can be done with out one. by hand with a good hacksaw. it will be long hard work and you'll probably go through a few blades before your doesn't but it can be done. I've done it my self cutting through tempered and hardened steel knife blades. with enough determination you can do anything.

so if you were gonna make a mask like this where would you start, what would use, and what kind of protection slash decorating would you but on it? as for me i probably would have gone with two different metals for the side a liter and a darker one, probably with the pattern and without. i would have added a lot of little plates ans stuff to not only cover up the actual ones used to hold the whole thing together but to also give it a bit more of a Frankenstein feeling. i would of added some teeth made out of metal of bone would be great animal teeth even more so to give it a bit of immortal Joe feel from mad max.
