Forging famous Uruk hai sword.

[@willmory1]

I just want to appreciate your art very quick. Its amazing to see how much forging goes in even such a crude Uruk weapon.

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

Half expected the music score from the forges of saruman to play as you hammered the steel. It was nice though to just hear what the hammer and anvil sound while forging

[@freerkwieringa275]

Would be cool. I can't use copyright music though. You can alwas play it for yourself of course. Lol

[@whiterhyno3574]

Totally in a revision lol

[@joepiejaapie]

The leather wrapping technique is awesome, do you have more videos showing that, maybe a tutorial? or links to more info?

[@freerkwieringa275]

I just learned it. I will show it more detailed in the future.

[@markjenney8808]

Straight from the forges of Mordor. Nice.

[@freerkwieringa275]

Thanks!

[@Pobendz]

Uruk Hai were breded and armed in Isengard :P

[@elricthebald]

The Uruk blade: Definitely not a delicate weapon. But a very effective chopper. And that back spike is absolutely brutal against for example chainmail.

[@freerkwieringa275]

Very practical

and dehorsing knights off

[@user-simonbolivar]

Прикольная мачета получилась! А крючком можно снопы сахарного тростника за спину через голову метать!

[@freerkwieringa275]

Yes. It's remarkable handy.

[@gutomonn]

your surprised face when it cut wood amazingly ahahhaha, incredible work as always, love the raw look

[@andrehak]

Super mooi man. Bedankt voor het delen!

[@jonathonmaloney9953]

I was expecting it to be a little sharper but, it looks like it can hold up to the standards of an axe so it's good. Love the look. I believe its exactly like the sword used in the two towers as well as the fellowship.

[@redbarchetta8782]

Any Uruk-hai would be proud to wield one of those. 👍

[@freerkwieringa275]

Uruk-hai pride. Sounds like a new holiday. I wait, I have to be careful of x age generation humor.

[@UPTAUT]

Just stumbled onto this video. I'm very happy with the algorithm for this one.

[@lapidowdog]

looks like meats back on the menu boys!!!

[@freerkwieringa275]

Lol. Yes indeed.

[@thenikko8292]

6:30 its crazy, with experience, how precisely close to the final shape you can forge the item to. without the use of a grinder. you see "blacksmiths" nowadays barely do any forging and then put a grinder to it for hours just to get the right shape lol

[@MASI_forging]

Nice work as always 👏👏

[@alericc1889]

I can say that Freerks weapon would be better than anything they produced in Isengard....

[@alvaroprietovarela4677]

Una pregunta, todas las espadas y cuchillos que fabricas, te los quedas tú, los vendes, los regalas a familiares y amigos...? Es que tengo curiosidad por sabi😅

[@freerkwieringa275]

They are almost all made in commission

[@PhileusActual]

I need one! That's so cool!

[@freerkwieringa275]

This one is available.

[@wiktordinamit0185]

GREAT JOB FREERK, I ADMMIRE👍👍👍

[@freerkwieringa275]

Thanks!

[@iniki3291]

Question, what reason did you have to place the blade between those two wood pieces? Asking it since i too work on a blackmiths workshop and have never seen a technique like the one you used

[@johnmartlew5897]

Did Tolkien design this sword for his trilogy? Or does it harken back to historical examples? There are some really weird sword shapes from Africa that are close but not this definite a vertical spike on so straight a blade. Nice play from the usual. Love it.

[@Seegster77]

Maybe a little of both. Weta Workshop designed them to look practical and at the same time fit the Tolkien theme of industrial made weapons.

[@nathancarabajal8271]

Whom do you serve?? Saruman

[@dungeonmetalworks4281]

Very cool Ork sword! How is the handlewrap called? I rly like it.

[@freerkwieringa275]

I don't know. I sort of figured it out based on whip wraps I saw online.

[@dungeonmetalworks4281]

@@freerkwieringa275 That helps, now i can do my own research ;)

[@Mjdeben]

All I hear is: 🎶Da Da Da......Dum Dum Dum🎶

[@freerkwieringa275]

Cool! Recently re-watched the movies. Great stuff.

[@TheoryMaK15-255]

That was quick fast and eficient as well as powerful and effective....! Well done my friend...! What metal did you used? And the Wrapping is great... I would Soak the wood in a semi gloss semt transperent black stain for a 12 to 24 hours. To make black and seal well... Have a Merry Christmas Season... My Friend... Skholl...!

[@freerkwieringa275]

Hello, I used springsteel.

[@StrayWolfForge]

Nice work!

[@freerkwieringa275]

Thanks!

[@xxcdogxx7230]

have you ever thought about doing some commentary over your videos? I would really like to know what a lot of your thought process is

[@freerkwieringa275]

I did in some videos.

[@DestindKnee]

I noticed this guy doesnt do that anvil tap that so many other people do. Kinda nice to see

[@AnyMotoUSA]

The anvil tap is to help reposition the hammer under hand, it becomes a habit. I didn't start doing it at first, but now it seems I do it without thinking. Wierd.

[@ГеннадийАхметов-д5щ]

The Orcs loved to play hockey very much. 😀

[@freerkwieringa275]

Never thought of that. Felt more like a lumberjack tool to me though.

[@Atashfeshan1]

درود 👍

[@freerkwieringa275]

Hello

[@konigeurichderwestgoten4460]

It's like a langseax with a hook, which I hear was for taking cavalry off horseback and working around shield.

[@freerkwieringa275]

could work very well

[@anomander-rake]

Tried a cast like in the movie?

[@freerkwieringa275]

bronze maybe?

[@anselmdreher4559]

Whaat, I thought you pour molten metal into a mold!! Did Peter Jackson lie to us??

[@freerkwieringa275]

Hahaha. He might have been.

[@JefferyPratt-nb8wo]

Only the orcs did for the movie scene... they forged everything for the movie... love the special features on movies these days

[@-Erebus]

How much

[@CharlesAhner]

The perfect sword to be cleaning with an oily cloth...when your daughter brings home her first boy friend.

[@freerkwieringa275]

That should work well. Or sharpening it with a rock and not saying anything

[@jimf7333]

damn great work but no song???

[@fmc6338]

Cool

[@kunstfuhrer]

masterpiese in my opinion.

[@Nobelnaga]

great, now make about 9,999 more

[@claudiaramos3840]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@pierre-arnaudlarose6213]

And after the Conan's sword

[@claudiaramos3840]

Por favor faz a faca de chivalry 2.

[@wills5482]

Só pagar e ele faz

[@user-kl5zd2oe3e]

Where's the part when you wave it around while still glowing hot while doing animalistic screaming?

[@ayhanfedai5013]

if its sharp enough whould be usfull in a doner restaurant
