How to make a simple sword out of a plank! [No powertools] - Free templates

► Hi! Today we are going to turn a wooden plank into a simple sword!
► We are going to use no powertools at all, just a chisel, a woodplane, a rasp and sandpaper.
► I got the plank from an old pallet.
► The plank must be wider than 13cm ( 5.2" )
►If you liked this video please give it a thumbs up :) If not, give it a thumbs down and/or write in the comments why so.

HOW THE HECK DID STEVE MAKE THIS IN MINECRAFT WITH A STICK AND TWO WOOD

[@WoodenWeaponry]

No one knows

[@jukosepticeye625]

CAUSE THATS THE CRAFTING TABLE’S JOB SO HE CAN FORGE HIS FIRST EVER TOOOOOOL

[@BlissMijime]

Sonicjoe 1039 so Steve just vomits sticks and wood on the crafting table and *Po0F^ sword?

[@jukosepticeye625]

GabbyGaming 06 no

[@BlissMijime]

Sonicjoe 1039 hmmmm seems like it

[@andreluizbarreto2570]

Excellent work! Loved it! Guys, note that making a sword from a unique piece of wood will make the crossguard break when sparring. Because fibers get too short, they won't handle a great deal of impact. Making a more realistic wooden sparring sword requires two pices: one for the sword and other for the crossguard (in wich the fibers showld be horizontal, not vertical, in order to handle impact).

[@WoodenWeaponry]

Great advise!

[@TheSailingDutchman1]

Question: How would you put the two pieces together for the strongest connection?

[@WorldwideAthlete]

@@TheSailingDutchman1 tape

[@jamessmith1627]

@@WorldwideAthlete no you would probably want to use epoxy or some kind of wood glue.

[@bilbobaggins5752]

Seems like you could save a lot of fuss by just drawing the sword onto the wood. You can put pencil onto the back of your printed template, then place the paper on your wood, then draw over the top. This should leave a light imprint of the printout.

[@justinmccarty9413]

Exactly my thoughts

[@anubispup4760]

I tend to use graphite paper to the same end with most of my projects.

Looking much better now, started a second sword, if i had a wider plank. I could easily carve a cross guard but in my case I have to get creative

[@robertearly6840]

thanks for the great tips.

[@miscdude8009]

the sound of you hitting the chisel with the hammer sped up sounds like fun fire

[@ignisking759]

Thank you for the video, I think I'm in the minority of people who not nly enjoy watching people make cool things but also want to actually make them myself (I am terrified of making investments in pricey stuff like machines and power tools). Out of curiosity, what were the brand/type of chisels you use? I've seen chisels go for very high prices and people swearing oaths of fealty to them. I bought a cheap $15 dollar set from a craft store and tried it on bass wood, and I can't seem to tell if I'm just super weak or if they're pretty bad since it takes a'lot of effort to get the tiniest bit of wood off.

[@grung701]

not sure

[@mikeg2046]

Chisels typically come with some very coarsely finished edges from the box. Especially the cheapo ones. I had the same problem when I got my first chisel. What you should do is sharpen it on a regular sharpening stone until you can't see any light reflecting on the very edge of the bevel and then hone it on progressively finer grits on sandpaper sheets on MDF. Start with something like 300-400 grit and go up to about 1000-2000 grit. Then to really make it hair popping sharp, strop it on some MDF with steel polishing compound (Autosol), or chromium oxide abrasive. Cheers and good luck

[@ignisking759]

@@mikeg2046 Thanks for the well thought out answer. My health actually was and is still declining from when I wrote this, so I'm afraid it's power tools only for when I'm feeling well enough to hold some thing minorly heavy. Curious though, why does everything have to be on an mdf board though, just for weight?

[@PhantomBones101]

So would a single piece work for sparring or would it be beneficial to have thicker layers of wood? Edit: so I tried your method and it had very good results. The only thing I didn't use was a template.

[@leonmacht2976]

Very cool

Hey man, great build as usual, i'm just wondering what you use to create your templates. I'm thinking of creating my own weapons as well but I don't have a template creator

[@WoodenWeaponry]

I use SolidWorks to model the weapons and then export this file into a drawing. SolidWorks is a professional software which I'm allowed to use for free because I'm studying engineering. Some other CAD Program like FreeCAD would also work.

[@phillipsmejkal1]

As a kid me and my friend made weapons in my grandpas shed. I made a wooden sword and attached nails to it that I bend 90°, so they lay flat on the swords blade. Then I sharpened a blade out of the nails with a grindstone and my mother found out about that sword when we played outside. She took it away because we were like ten and yeah it was razor sharp. 😅 I now start to imagine what weapons I could make real as joiner and craftman today. 🤔😅As there're still enough young kids around in the family, visiting my grandparents, it maybe is a bad idea. 😅🤣 By the way this sword looks really nice and cool video. 😎

[@RebeccasStudio]

I'm writing a young adult fantasy novel and want to cosplay my characters, but I need to make the weapons/swords durable and realistic. What would you suggest I use other than wood?

[@marseatsstars]

Carbon fiber?

[@RebeccasStudio]

@@marseatsstars I could, but I may have trouble getting it into conventions.

[@WoodenWeaponry]

Carbon fiber is not the way to go here! Its mechanical properties may good, but working with this stuff is highly dangerous. If you really dont want wood, maybe use lightweight aluminium cores (for stability) and surround it with foamboard (For safety and weight-reduction).

[@BlazeMallard]

If I can’t like put 2 pieces of wood together how long does the plank need to be?

[@sadanandsamant8854]

How did you do that mannn😍😍😍😍 I tried this. But my blade was so weak. So it broke.

[@burninsherman7196]

For that you just need higher quality wood, if you're willing to spend a little bit of money (not too much, around 10-20 USD) I'd strongly recommend getting hickory. It's a hardy and durable wood that you aren't likely to break. However, if you take this approach, I do strongly recommend making sure your tools are high quality and be sure to make sure they're sharp as well as hickory can be hard on your tools.

[@anubispup4760]

It's always very enjoyable to make wooden weapons, but to make it stronger I've always make the blade seperate with a tang as you would one made of steel, with the crossguard made seperate, then the hilt pegged in seperate, then a tight pommel of sorts. They usually last longer in my experiance than those made of one piece.
