Battle Axe made from a Rogue Fitness Weight Plate for The Mountain | Game of Thrones

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

From the cinematography to the costumes to the music to the badass axe, this was one of the coolest maker videos we've seen 👏👏👏

[@ijessup]

i'll bet if it featured a cat then it would be your MOST FAVOURITE video ever 😉

[@sherryu]

I've never seen Game of Thrones nor heard the music, but THAT was awesome. The music, what you did. . . deconstructing and re-performing with all three instruments!? WOW. . . it told the story. No words necessary. The battle axe is beautiful!

[@ijessup]

thanks mom 🖤

[@raraavis7782]

I love, how that massive axe suddenly looks tiny, when Bjornsson holds it 😄 Amazing project!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I.. you.. wow..! Epic is the only right word for it. I'm proud to even know you, let alone call you my friend. You're getting pretty close to being my favorite person in the verse.

[@ijessup]

i'm fine being second favourite to karoline 😊

[@InsideAlan]

5:50 Jess is showing off the foot clamp whilst Brett performs an immaculate knee clamp in the background, as if it's nothing! True masters of their craft!!!

[@ijessup]

feet and knees for DAYS

[@MrGuardcaptain]

Jessie, this is so much more than a make video. This is a story, this is a tale. There's an emotional connection with the characters you play and the quest to create the piece. Just exceptional story telling. Keep playing with that idea. Thank you.

[@muddyfences5559]

Holy crap, that dude is a tank! You could see the excitement when you presented it to him. Awesome job Jessie.

[@ijessup]

he was pleased 😊

[@kjellski]

Heyyy Jessie! What an awesome video! :) I really like the soundtrack as well... must have been a whole orchestra at your disposal! Your production is getting a bit out of hand... ;) Much love! =)

[@christinekaye6393]

Not only is the battle ax amazing, but the way you filmed its creation is equally beautiful. Superb, Jess.

[@FigmentsMade]

That is one heck of an amazing axe you've got there! With a wonderful video to match! I'm going to guess you had juuust a few hours' worth of grinding there. But it was totally worth it. Usage of under-leg-angle-grinder-combined-foot-clamp is 5/5. And the music is fantastic!! And the costume. And metal sparks. And the Mysterious Valyrian. Definitely a win all around!!

[@ijessup]

that shot of the under-leg-angle-grinder-combined-foot-clamp was completely unnecessary to how but it was one of my favourite shots. i love that you love it

[@FigmentsMade]

@@ijessup It's totally not unnecessary if it's one of your favorites! I love that you love that I....something. Yay!

[@BrothersMake]

I’m not sure what the best bit about this video is.. the music, the axe, the smile on the mountains face, or the face that your mysterious valyrian boots have different coloured laces. What am I kidding, of course it’s the laces 😁

[@ijessup]

obviously, it's all about the laces. she's not actually magic. it's ALL about the magical, mystical laces

[@BrothersMake]

ijessup they instantly give you +99 angle grinding XP

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

The music was worth the wait. Great job.

[@Dopefish76]

Wonderful! :-D The music was beautiful, no butchery to be found there! The axe came out great - I love how you used just the angle grinder for the majority of the build. I thought for sure that you would have cut out those binding plates on the bandsaw, but you play the angle grinder as gracefully as the violin. Well done!

[@ijessup]

haha! these days i seem to play the angle grinder better then the violin!

[@awesomeinprogress4189]

This is so cool, two brilliant makers, a really cool tv serie, a strong dude and an epic weapon. But I am most impressed by your soundtrack Jessie, that is truly an awesome achievenmt😁 much love😍

[@furthernorthfab]

Super cool Jess. All the work you guys put into costumes, the music and obviously the battle axe is super impressive

[@ijessup]

the things we do...

[@janetf23]

I always feel a little thrill of anticipation when I get notifications from you and you've never disappointed. 🐉

[@petermiller6146]

Fantastic work on the video, music, project, costumes and everything else you and Brett put into this. Keep doing what you do best.

[@slightlycrookedworkshop]

Watching a weight plate be cut up in mid 2020 is very unsettling. However, this is incredible.

[@WaveCyclesCreative]

I approve this grinding stance! tremendous job both! well music'd Jess :D

[@ijessup]

thanks, jim 😀

[@TheMuzShop]

Awesome job Jess!! Battle Axe turned out really cool looking. Wow that guy is big!! 👍👍

[@JoePierceMaker]

That was amazing, the video, the axe, THE MUSIC!!! It was all amazing! Great job Jess!

[@ijessup]

thanks, joe 🖤🖤🖤

[@TheMessyStudio]

That thing is bigger than you are, Jess! Loved that y'all did two vids each with it's POV! Great job! Keep 'em coming. Billy

[@BarttRoman]

Love the project, the storytelling and your face in that picture screams joy. Awesome to watch! :)

[@sgsax]

This was awesome! Great design and execution on the axe, FANTASTIC music, great story and shots, matching cosplay. Loved every minute of it!

[@andywright2380]

It made my arms sore from vibration just WATCHING you do that much grinding with a handheld grinder. I don think anyone can imagine how much work that is until you have spent several hours going through multiple disks on a grinder

[@ijessup]

thankfully, it was so cold that i couldn't feel anything... 😑

[@p5570]

So awesome! Congrats to both of you!

[@ijessup]

thanks, paul!

[@WoodByWright]

NICE! that made me happy!

[@larsokland]

Great job on both the axe and the music! Your lower back must be as strong as the mountain to endure angle grinding for so long. Excellent work!

[@ijessup]

truth 💪🏼

[@RichardMartin]

The next collaboration I see will have to be a bloody good one to beat you and the Captain. Great work Jessie.

[@bigronxxxx]

Jess and Brett did a incredible job on the battle ax,but all of the other work of making the soundtrack,and costumes for the film,it is all beyond incredible,you seem to have no limits on what you know or are willing to jump into with both feet with your eyes closed,you are a fierce and amazing person,then after that you add on that you're a woman of such a small stature makes it even more impressive,all the best to you and yours😀💪🐸👏

[@ijessup]

you warm my heart, ron. thank you for always being so supportive!

[@randyrodriguez4643]

Brilliant, simply and utterly brilliant! Taking on the music on top of the actual build is insane, and we love you for it. I'll re-iterate my request of the Cap'n: You and he need to collaborate at least once a month for forever. Please and thank you.

[@ijessup]

haha! i mean... i’m not AGAINST that idea

[@FredMcIntyre]

Phenomenal job Jess! Awesome work! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@JamesBowers]

I love this! Great build, music, and video! Thanks for sharing!

[@AndyCPugh]

Great work on the build and the music!

[@samritte]

this is totally Badass. little bit cute (making a giant cry). music is beautiful. YOU GUYS ROCK.

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

SO MUCH WIN!!!

[@ijessup]

THANK YOU, DADDY

[@beeleywood7796]

Just found your channel, so glad, I could watch these all day. Your smile when you have your photo taken with the Mountain is priceless. Thank for posting.

[@ijessup]

it was a very good moment in which i felt so very small all the while marveling that he is three years younger than i am

[@GoldringI]

Non-Random Thought: you are never, EVER, to criticize your own music-making prowess ever again. It is forbidden, you hear? FORBIDDEN! Also: this video is great and you're awesome (also Brett, I guess). Also also: you know you're going to get so many collab requests from this, right? Also also also: got anything we can collab on?

[@ijessup]

i believe i still have an upcoming cameo to prepare for...

[@kevinmotteram5670]

You did a great job with the music

[@ijessup]

thanks, kevin!

[@vic6010]

Also, I'm going to pretend this was the GOT finale. Far more satisfying.

[@donnadavey7295]

Wow...Once again You have set the bar high. For Me as an Artist, I have found myself consumed with a many projects...from sewing costumes, designing rooms, party planning, house renovations, painting both interior and paper/canvas. But what you just did...defined "Master Crafter". You are Amazing 😊

[@whazee]

Sooooo GOOD!!! 😀 And the music you made for this was amazing too! Set such a great mood and atmosphere. You probably won't want to do it for every video, but I hope you do more! ❤

[@ijessup]

there will have to be a REALLY good reason for me to attempt music again... maybe final fantasy 😀

[@MakeBrooklyn]

Holy crap you guys get better every time both in terms of what you make and they way you tell and grow your story. Outstanding. F'ing outstanding!

[@ijessup]

haha! i don't mind sharing compliments with the captain 🙂

[@MichaelAlm]

Fricken’ pro with the angle grinder. Music’s fantastic, and I love how you both overlapped videos. 👌

[@Makebuildmodify]

Just awesome! You even managed to get the knee-clamp in a shot. 3:54

[@ijessup]

tandem clamping!

[@SylviePereiraSyPer]

Holding the grinder for hours must have been quite painful ... however, it's a fantastic job ! Also the parallel with Brett's video is a great idea. What a creativity ! ;)

[@ijessup]

i could hold an angle iron alllllll day 😊

[@garagemonkeysan]

OMG. What a true film. Music, video, story all beautiful. What a real work of art. Home run. : )

[@DaveGDesigns]

I’ve never seen so much amazing in one video and all crammed into less than 10 minutes. An epic build - check Jessie - check Brett - check Hafthor Bjornsson - check Jessie and her one woman orchestra - check Handy foot clamps - check You are without doubt one of the most talented people I have the pleasure to know don’t ever stop being incredible 👍🏻 xx

[@ijessup]

dave, you are amazeballs 🖤🖤🖤

[@DaveGDesigns]

ijessup ❣

[@NerdInventor]

Just watched the other part of the build at Bretts channel! You guys did a fantastic job! It is so cool to see the two build videos and how link together.

[@ijessup]

yay! i'm so pleased that we were able to shoot two different sides of the same story. glad you like it!

[@GabeSchultz1]

Wow! That is amazing! Incredible creativity!

[@HABU]

Wow love this video!!❤️❤️

[@MaltandMake]

Nailed the music, great video but most importantly, what an amazing project! Hats off to you both! It was tricky trying to decide which part to watch first though.

[@ijessup]

i'll bet that it was the hardest decision you made all day

[@sherryu]

i so enjoyed that! What an amazing video, battle-axe. . . and the music!!! Jessie you did that, didn't you!? The violin, the cello, and the piano. You are amazing!

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

Dang he makes that axe look almost normal sized in comparison. Very awesome work

[@ijessup]

right?! i was lugging that axe all over NYC and he picked it up like it was nothing... of course, earlier that evening he did lift over 800lbs so...

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

They don't call him "The Mountain" for nothing, eh?

[@alanmullock381]

Brilliant work Jess! Well done all👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ijessup]

so many thumbs!

[@upcycledscraps513]

Love the music!

[@Orphe123]

Love you Jess! And everything you bring forward!

[@yadaroni]

I love this lady! Amazing work.

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

What a joyous video to watch! Looks like you have upgraded to matching clamps! :)

[@ijessup]

speaking the good news of foot clamps all over the world 😀

[@vanessamay840]

This is beyond cool, I have no words!! Congrats Jessie!! 🤩

[@vic6010]

I had not seen this video yet. I'm sure all this took a lot of work but... I'm glad you did it because this was so dope! Lady's tiny but mighty.

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

Epic. Of course the build is great and nice work on the music.

[@ctrlaltdel1269]

So much greatness, where do I start! Your abilities are endless. Not only can you de compose the theme song and play each instrument but, you can cut metal with one arm behind you. Your sense of humor is impeccable. Thanks for sharing this!

[@phil.pinsky]

Welp, I just had an almost 10 minute long nerdgasm

[@ijessup]

i do it all for you, philpinsky

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

This was really amazing, I mean you carved a weight plate with an angle grinder and it came out beautifully!

[@aslmaverick5362]

Enjoyed watching your video and Brett's too, n thanks for Closed Captions too! :-)

[@ijessup]

haha! you are most welcome

[@carlmitchell4619]

Incredible, well done!

[@JohnMadeit]

Great work. Looks awesome. I love the way the colab was done.

[@handydan1591]

I love this Jess. I’d love to see more videos like this as well. Great job.

[@JENNISWISS]

JESS! beautiful music you made for this video! I really appreciate your work!! 🍀❤️👍💪🍾🎺

[@ijessup]

thank you, lukas! i hope you're staying warm at jimmy's 😉

[@sherryu]

the 8 folks that did thumbs down are just plain ridiculous.

[@jojorengers5368]

Beautiful to see the smile on your faces when they made the picture with "the mountain" 👍🏻

[@WorksbySolo]

That music was worth the wait!

[@ijessup]

thanks, bernie 🖤

[@MichaelKieweg]

That was fun! Now, you have to hatch a dragon.

[@TandaMadison]

Amazing work all around metal, video and strings!!

[@JakeThompson]

Awesome Project!! 👍👍👍

[@douglasvoss2778]

One of the coolest ideas I've ever seen manifested.

[@aaronrubin7168]

That is a badass axe! It was so fun watching you forge it.

[@nottheone582]

i bet you halfthor gets so many gifts but yours is among his faves :)

[@remoc52357]

Hun you and Brett were incredible......the music was exceptional.I will never forget Serenity, but this is equal....very impressive!

[@ijessup]

thanks, keith!

[@jpwoodwork]

That’s incredible Jess

[@ManCrafting]

Clever build. You guys did a great job on this. That weight cut up a lot easier than I would have imagined. Did you do all the music?

[@ijessup]

i did. i will most likely never do anything that ambitious every again

[@leleyley7932]

I'm new to your channel and have been binge-watching your video lately..THAT is an AWESOME project..i want one even if it is too heavy....hahahah Cheers from far far away land👋🏻

[@Entropy72]

That thing must be about half your body weight! Great work, loved the vid.

[@ijessup]

it was pretty close to half my body weight 😬

[@MakeItSoph]

This is the most amazing thing. Ever. You super super talented humans.

[@ijessup]

sophie comments make me extra happy 😊

[@neilpemberton4652]

Fantastic!

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Great video, love the Cello!

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Seriously awesome, and man is that ever a lot of grinding!

[@ijessup]

thanks, andy!

[@michaelarenal1578]

So glad I subscribe to your channel...always looking forward to see what's next. Your work of art is amazing & the no bullshit determination to make something. Much respect Jess!

[@damienbrand9422]

Fantastic and beautiful work!!! Well done all!

[@brickdaddiy]

How many disc blades did you end up going through when cutting all that metal?

[@ijessup]

only about six-eight. cast iron is pretty easy to cut and kinda fun!

[@AdamRich1785]

Great freaking job! The music was awesome too
