Add in the time to do any 'decoration' and you get something well worth preserving for the ages.

Actually, I don't use any "modern" tools. Just hammers, files, an anvil and a big block of wood. Cutting is done with shears. Also a medieval tool.
Modern tools really don't speed up the process all that much with the exception of the use of a power planisher.
I am wanting to learn to engrave so I can start adding the embellishments to my armor.
