How to Cast and Build a Bronze Age Spear From 3d Printed Design

[@RealProjectTube]

Let me know how you think it turned out below.

[@Fish-ub3wn]

it's good looking. seems badly balanced. dont pole or stab, slash the target. straihten the dowel and make it flaring.

[@WildBearFoot]

A spear is a stabbing weapon, not slashing.

Looks great!

Did you work harden do bronze, or is that just something you do to blades? Looks great by though, I'm going to give it a go.

[@RealProjectTube]

You can definitely work hard bronze. I didn't do it on the spear this time as it was my first time working with bronze.

Great and instructive video. Did you cast the spearhead ? Any videos ? BTW: the spearhead original dates back from 800-1200 BC and was found as part of the Selbourne-Blackmoore hoard find in Wolmer Forest (England). So, you are reproducing a 2800 to 3200 year old weapon. In my view one of the finest specimens of bronze age spearhead. Bravo. Reply
