I know it's basic, but it really is fun to do. Rather than letting something rot in a garage, you can turn it into something that someone will use forever.

Well, luckily, I am not in the UK.

Do you mean the first or second blade? The first one I agree, however, the second one seemed fine. There was a taper which made it a more pronounced tip.

?

Yeah, I don’t know what this means.

Glass cleaner. I sometimes use WD40. When sanding at high grit, the paper gets clogged up. The cleaner… cleans it out.

Thank you for the commentary. One of the reasons I post my work to KZbin is to get feedback. I will take this in consideration for my next project. Thank you and God bless.

I knew it was a bad idea, but I was running out of time, it was going to thunderstorm.

The watermelon was crushed on one side, and the pineapple was on sale for being old. I appreciate your comment, I worked hard on my “silly sword.”

Thanks, I worked hard on this.

Thank you!

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback.

It scratched up the blade, but the edge was completely fine.

Oh, it’s been a lot of work. I have a lot of projects, work, and teaching.

Thanks, I worked really hard on it.

Forgot to say it in the video, but this sword is being built for a group at my college. And because of this, there will not be an edge put on it. Therefore, it would. Be redundant to heat treat.

Thank you, I put a lot of thought into it.

@@BoscoForge Reason I was asking about the heat treat on Part 1 is the engraving you are looking to do. You may consider spray painting the blade and then copy the prayer over the layer of paint, then you'd scrape off the paint that reveals the steel under the lettering. Once that is done you can place the blade with the relief and the exposed lettering into a mixture of ferric choride and distilled water to etch the exposed steel. I've only ever done this myself with hardened steel so I'm not sure how it will react with a soft blade, but I typically let my blades sit 12-24 hours to get a satisfactory etch depth. Good luck!

@@hancockheritageknifeco Unfortunately, the blade is made of mild steal, so the etch wouldn't really show. See, this sword is going to be entrusted to a bunch of college boys, I don't want to have a hardened edge on it.

@@lawaunc What's your sir name?

@@BoscoForge sir mind your own business

@@BoscoForge hmm, one day you’ll know

@@lawaunc Are you a Knight of the Holy Queen?

Thank you for the support, and sorry for replying so late. Believe it or not, I am in Austria right now for school, and I am really busy.

@@BoscoForge i can totally understand, it's really not easy to manage both of the tasks especially at that young age. More power to you

I know the blade shape isn’t all there, and as far as the wood handle goes, not everyone has a large piece of brass to use as a handle. Sorry to disappoint.

Thanks!

Thanks dawg

Indeed excellent.
