Making The Kraken Cutlass | Tentacle Pirate Sword

Every Captain needs their cutlass. The creature rises! Forged from spring steel and detailed with mild steel, we have created a terrifying beasty. Some coconuts were harmed in the making of this video. I apologize for nothing!

[@jgclark45]

terrible cool! I like the octopus elements, that thing is so sharp it could cut Diresta's Burger

[@skullandspade]

He better watch out

[@CraftsWithEllen]

A sword fit for a captain. It's awesome, gorgeous and so dang cool! Your shots and storytelling just keep getting better and better, I'm amazed every time. The shots at the end are fantastic. I love the irony of chopping up a coconut in the middle of the snow, haha. Not a very typical deserted island :D

[@skullandspade]

Hahahah, we did the best with what we had. Thank you so much Ellen!!!

[@unrepentantgeek]

Wow! Seriously your best video to date. Love the music, the videography and the build. Keep it up Captain!

[@skullandspade]

Wow, thank you Matthew!

[@TheBeardedWoodworker]

I have a channel featuring my Mural work I do called Kraken Studios, so 100,000 points for this video! And as Bob Ross used to say, "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents." Perfect for your case, because I liked the teeth. Nice work, Brother!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you thank you! 1000points for your kraken studios!!

[@MapBot11]

I see those bananas fully restored your HP. Cool project, well done.

[@skullandspade]

[@scoobshagg]

Wow that thing is a beast. The octopus tentical is a great added effect to the overall blade. Well done sir

[@skullandspade]

Thank you tons Tim!

[@simplyorn8585]

Just watched this and it's fantastic. Love the fact the beast got burned and you ran with it. The build came out better for it!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you! I definitely agree!

[@mb_art_official]

I'm so happy for you, Brett, that you're pushin' it hard with the old blacksmithing, ay. I really like the choice of music, good job, man!

[@jackspearsiii5639]

That so awesome. Your intro has got to be the coolest of all time!! Nice work Brett.

[@skullandspade]

Aw thank you Jack!

[@jkunderwood3291]

Coconut. Snow. Banana. All you needed was some rum and you would have had a pina colada. Great build and awesome way to roll with the punches in the oopsie.

[@skullandspade]

Yup. Gotta sail with the winds

[@GvendurE]

That's beautiful work. Love the texture. My five year old thinks it so cool and he is an expert on pirates.

[@skullandspade]

There it is folks. The five year old says its cool. So its cool. That single thumbs down should have the answer to the five year old! Thank you ; )

[@ManCrafting]

I feel like I missed something. When did the damage occur? I saw you quench it and it looks fine. I’m sure it happened in the stove since that’s a hard heat to control. I love this video overall. The visuals are amazing. Awesome as always.

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Major sickness points. MAJOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Andy!!!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

So cool!!! While watching your instagram page I was wondering how you did that spine work, I thought it was all made with punches :') well, that's way smarter! Love the cutlass. Love the video. So inspiring. Well done man :)

[@skullandspade]

D'awwwwww, thanks brother! Glad you stopped by to see!

[@HarnealMedia]

That turned out to be a great build. It was alot of fun following your build as you worked on it. Great job Brett

[@skullandspade]

[@JEYD220699]

Aye Cap! I wish there were more videos, but it is so much worth the wait!! Excellent concept and making as always! Dimitris

[@skullandspade]

Hopefully the channel will continue to grow, which will allow me to produce more often.

Brett McAfee your videography and special effect skills are ramping up very nicely 👍🏻

[@johnshultz3058]

Looks amazing!!

[@lucianoquerido5524]

Oh, man! The teeth made it even more badass than before!

[@skullandspade]

Recognize your mistakes...and then use your skills to overcome!

[@CheapskateProjects]

That brassing tip is really cool. I will definitely need to test it on some project.

[@skullandspade]

It’s super easy! Give it a shot

[@lutch2419]

That was awesome! Great video Brett!

[@skullandspade]

[@JohnFrumFromAmerica]

I was amazed when it cut through 1 banana but my mind was blown away when he cut through 2 of them!

[@skullandspade]

I was amazed myself! I thought, “never in a million years could it cut through two.... no way...”

[@alanscannell]

[@theflava]

Always wear your safety goggles when you conquer the seven seas with that thing!

[@skullandspade]

"safety"....you may have to explain this term to me and the rest of the shipmates.

[@RichardMartin]

Now that’s a bloody beast! Love it.

[@skullandspade]

Indeed!

[@TimGels]

Awesome work on the cutlass, and just as good on the video!

Very cool video. Great work!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you James!!

[@harlem1011]

That's some epic stuff right there! Apart from the awesome cutlass, I really liked your use of music in this one. A little more drone sounds and I swear I would've heard cthulhu calling 😂

[@skullandspade]

Mission accomplished!

[@OnkelJann]

Well done! 😎👍🏻

[@skullandspade]

Thank you👍🏻

[@stanleyshostak2737]

As many have already stated it was cool following this build on instagram and the podcast. It is shale I say epic.

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Stanley!

[@bernardtynan7473]

Awesome build and video .

[@skullandspade]

[@tenamombi3376]

I would say that this is one of your best video's

[@skullandspade]

Well shucks! Thank you Tena!

[@keystone]

The flying ship is part of your arsenal as well or was that a rental? Such a great video, love the 8bit intro as always, music is on point, design is great and the touch of the suction cups is wicked! So happy you are a creator on this platform! Many thanks and congrats

[@skullandspade]

The ship was in the sticker battle video! It’s my current limit break!

[@Sonal_Mobile]

D'arr, tis a fine cutlass! A truly awesome piece! The one who dislikes shall walk the plank!

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye Sonal! It’s always strange when it’s just a single reaction... it’s happened a few times. Maybe a serial disliker?

[@ecrusch]

Love it brother Brett! Every aspect of the video rocks! Sure glad I subscribed! Eric central Florida

[@skullandspade]

Thank you so much Eric!

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Brilliant. Still sat waiting for you to go save a princess somewhere 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@skullandspade]

Soooooooon

[@JedidiahShultzIrishCraftsman]

Dude I had a dream about this!...😏😂 but in all seriousness, freakin phenomenal job brother!! Nice upgrade!👊

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Jedidiah!

[@djhousley1]

The suction cups are a great addition!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you! I’d like to thing so too

[@FrancoNoce]

Wicked! Loved the music too

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Franco!

[@OleksandrDiedov]

Very nice build and craftsmanship. Love the tests, mini Man at arms siries) Next you need fine cocked hat for you and bandana for Skully!

[@skullandspade]

I love those ideas Taran!!!

[@PJGalati]

I'd been following on Instagram, curious how you make the Kraken "suckers" brilliant idea with the welding blobs! That sword looks like it's super heavy! No worries about it ever breaking lol. Love the style of it Brett, I could see a "kraken lineup" of builds coming down the pipe so to speak.

[@skullandspade]

You're dead right on that. And yes...it's quite the heavy beast. Not all would be able to wield such a blade ; )

[@PJGalati]

I'd even go as far as saying it's less of a saber and more of a cleaving sword, much like broadswords were meant to cleave through plate armor. I imagine that sword would make short work of thinner swords.

[@GTL77]

That’s an awesome video and one bad ass looking sword dude good job

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Glenn!

[@thedeloachsdoyoutube8377]

Very good stuff my man good stuff

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Ryan!

[@gkkent]

My mind is blown!!!! Keiko is going to freak out!!!

[@skullandspade]

Looking forward to hearing if she liked it!

[@gkkent]

Brett McAfee she really liked it! She loved the end when you “tested” it.

[@skullandspade]

w0000000000000t

[@CK-TD]

Truly a unique and creative idea. Another reason a why I sub.

[@skullandspade]

Thank you kindly!

[@richhubert1260]

So much grafic violence to that poor fruit.... lol nice build. Nice video as well.

[@skullandspade]

To be honest, they had it coming.

[@DontKeeptheFaith]

That thing looks so damn rad.

[@skullandspade]

She’s quite the sight!

[@byromscustomwoodworks]

The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem

[@skullandspade]

Hahahah! Savvy?

[@mrolafdotcom]

Coconuts and bananas!? No scurvy for this pirate! Nice job!

[@skullandspade]

Hahah! Indeed

[@daddynutz024]

Great video always entertaining.

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Chris!

[@jamestralston]

Seems like a lot of work just to eat a banana and coconut! Great build - and wonderful creative recovery from the “oops”. As always, I love the story-telling/video editing/music. Thanks!!!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Jim!

[@crazethedave]

so much awesome...

[@skullandspade]

And so much more to come!!!

[@Makebuildmodify]

This was great Brett and I think the beastly teeth were a happy accident. Good stuff!

[@skullandspade]

Agreed. It just looks even scarier

[@InsideAlan]

So much epic epicosity!!!

[@skullandspade]

Hahahah

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Ah! Nice!

[@skullandspade]

Yusssss

[@FigmentsMade]

That is a truly awesome addition to your inventory. Coconuts and bananas beware!

[@skullandspade]

Fruit BEWARE!

[@FigmentsMade]

Fruit salad, ahoy!

[@AndyCPugh]

Nice!

[@skullandspade]

Thanks Andy!

[@davebauerart]

That's awesome. Now you have to make a rowboat or something! Sailboat? Also how many experience points does Laura get for her new mobile shop?

[@skullandspade]

If I was closer to water I absolutely would. And she gets a ton of xp for all that.

[@lilcheeze4033]

Since that Cutlass is very sharp and agile you can use that to like go on like hiking

[@skullandspade]

Truth

[@SlapStuffTogether]

DOOOOOD! Really cool build and nice to see your trouble shooting when you got thrown a curve ball. I liked that you added in touches from your sticker video with the leveling up. My favorite part was the ending though, you have reached full level pirate. What's next the boat?

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Heidi!!! Not sure what's next just yet. A few ideas brewing.

[@jojorengers5368]

HARHARHAR!!!! Good ! You killed it !😂

[@skullandspade]

Yaaaaarrrre

[@nobelpreisjoe]

Finally a manly way to eat bananas :D Great Build! Seeing the ig-pictures i was wondering how the back of the sword was made so wide - it looked almost hollow. Neat solution. And beware of the teeth!

[@skullandspade]

Ye intruders beware

[@aslmaverick5362]

Cool Invention!

[@skullandspade]

Well thank ye
