The green color of the sky was from the hail. The way the light refracts through the hail often makes the light look green or blue.

[@raydenmorris5220]

Ah, interesting. Makes sense.

[@rws531]

@@raydenmorris5220 how does that make sense? light doesnt change wavelength due to refraction.

[@johnhosky2931]

“According to National Weather Service meteorologists, water and ice particles inside the clouds work to scatter the blue light. When the light is illuminated by the sun's rays, it can appear to have a greenish tint.”

[@johnhosky2931]

Hail and raindrops, have a tendency to refract the light. That means the light is now moving at a slightly different angle and changes color. But not only is it bent, but it is also less energetic. Moving the light, every so slightly, from one energy level down to the next. So violet light turns to blue, blue turns to indigo, and indigo turns to green.

[@raydenmorris5220]

@@rws531 Does it not? I thought the frequency remained constant, but wavelength shifted. I'm not trying to start a comment war, I'm genuinely curious.

Kyle: It's always a better idea to use more grounds to make your coffee. Even if you don't like it super-strong, it's still better to brew it strong, and water it down afterward. A coffee ground only has so much coffee flavor in it, and after you've extracted that, it just adds more bitterness to the brew. Personally, I use about 2oz by weight (about 12 tablespoons) per 40oz water. And I put a tiny bit of salt in the bottom of the pot; it really helps to boost the flavor.

A sword that size coming in under 5 lbs when complete would be a dream come true.

[@zfortyounce]

I had to re-watch that part because I couldn't believe it was under 5 pounds before grinding. That's pretty incredible.

[@buggsy5]

The Medieval broadsword averaged 2.5 - 3.5 pounds - few weighed as much as 4 pounds. Even the uncommon hand-and-a-half sword weighed less than 4.5 pounds.

[@Aaron-mn2ro]

I think an entire fuller done with that small stone tool, and leaving the rougher look, would look super cool on a sword, or maybe dagger

[@ClenioBuilder]

Thanks for the good time 🤜🤛

[@AZ-Patriot]

As a retired truck driver, those green skies and hail fire off all of the alarm bells. I've seen more than a few tornadoes to go with weather like that. The Dykem on that 1000 grit surface looked gorgeous.

[@user-cp9jv6yr7z]

I have a similar problem sanding custom architraves. I use a Festool linear sander. LS130. They are a discontinued tool but you can still find a few out there and a massive time saver. They are also variable speed.

[@mistermisanthrope6398]

I would guess that forging the fuller would stretch the pattern that he wanted to keep intact. For some complaining he didn't forge it in.

[@512Squared]

Mad to think that back in the day (a century or two ago), all the fuller cutting and sanding was done by hand, not to mention the other parts

[@ronbuckner8179]

They didn’t have erasers

[@rockinHurley777]

​@@ronbuckner8179I bet back then they'd love to have the grinding tools

[@Jason-tz7ir]

They had tools designed to hammer the fuller in.

[@Vangent87]

That’s not exactly accurate- two, three, four century’s ago they would have forged the fuller while forging the blade and used a stone wheel of varying grits on a hand crank or pedal assembly to grind in the edges and overall shape and whetstones for hand sanding the fuller and they forged a lot of the other parts and finished them the same way. Now a century ago we’re talking 1924 that’s Industrial Revolution and blades were being mass manufactured at this point and alot of the work was done by someone running a machine

[@jw8848]

@@Jason-tz7ir Of course it is, except when it's true. At least it was when I saw tornados as a kid. The sky always had a yellowish green tint and most of the time there was hail, high winds with periods of calm...

[@scrappyddz]

Great video, Thank you... working on a blade for the Viking challenge and I myself have a fuller to deal with soon... was hoping you had discovered a new magical way to breeze through it hehehe

[@buggsy5]

If there is a magical way, it would be forging the shape and fuller, then using stones to do the final shaping and smoothing. But that would distort the pattern far more than using the stock removal method and probably not suitable for this collector piece.

[@_DST0NE_]

Bending the Griffin like that gave me anxiety 😂

[@tomnorris9209]

It actually was also a LoTR reference from Frodo, so well done.

[@col.mustard1233]

To get a nice even sand and high grit polish I use double sided tape and tape my sand paper on to a piece of 8oz leather, the leather helps to prevent accidentally putting to much force on any specific spot.

[@jeffreycoppensjr4728]

Kyle! Your mom was wearing a sweet Def Leppard sweater!! That’s so cool!!

[@24934637]

Only ever done one blade with a fuller, and didn't find it to be easy at all. Part of that was down to not having a suitable small wheel on my grinder, so I was debating all sorts of options, using a steel rod and forging it in (decided against it because at the time, my one burner forge probably wouldn't have got hot enough), Scraping it in manually (decided against it because I have small skinny 'drug addict' style arms)....Eventually opted for a grinding disc on an angle grinder followed by lots of hand sanding with the paper wrapped round a section of steel rod.....It sort of worked.

My experience with Green sky was in Nebraska in about 1957 and a tornado in a little town (Baird) near Scotts Bluff. A tornado took out a big oak in the back yard then lifted over the 2 story house and came down in the John Deer equipment lot across the street. I was playing on the enclosed back porch and had no clue what it was, kind 'a like my whole life back then _No Clue

Great build series!! Do you guys have a link or some more info on the edm-stone air tool? Looks exactly like what I have been searching for.

[@j4nk3n]

Makes sense on the fuller, the tape on the wheel probably made the contact spongey and made a softer edge while grinding!

[@maddon001]

i nearly cried when u started flexing the sword, now i know its kind of a real life test but still your braver than i would have been.

[@vedranb87]

6:45 I was wondering in the previous video if you could use this kinda tool to make that initial cut into the fuller so you have the "railroad track" for the grinder.

[@mikekooz475]

Hand sanding = Headphones and favorite podcast

[@senilestix]

Hi Kyle.. Q.The sword being a collectors piece and not meant for battle..But if it was, Hypothetically, would the thickness between the Fuller's of 1.7mm or 70/1000, pose a problem if you were repeatedly striking hard objects like armour and other swords? Couldn't help feeling worried if I was to strike something hard that the core might twist or fold, considering the length of the blade. Loving this build btw..many thanks 👍

[@davidcanoy8579]

The green sky is the hail core. The tornados are usually behind that, at least here.

[@Serenity_Dee]

It took me entirely too long to figure out that the grinding stone isn't for electronic dance music.

[@_o_]

I feel like there's an intent and tradition in the stark font of the royer label on your pieces, but I was reminded of my friend's pottery work - instead of a signature or name-stamp on the ceramic pieces, he puts a symbol that represents him instead. The fun part is making the symbol, then it becomes more "forged" into the artwork of the piece, less of a contrast between the piece and the maker.

[@midian879]

Honestly you should look for, or somehow make giant brick erasers and then shave and shape them down to the radius that you need for fuller. Or 3D print some or cast epoxy

[@m_d_c_t]

So I have to ask - does this sword have any distal taper to it? From what I can tell, it was forged to the same thickness throughout and then ground to the same edge throughout. It has a reasonable amount of profile taper, but you also have that wide, relatively deep fuller, so I'm curious about where the point of balance is going to be on this blade.

[@Oldtanktapper]

Around 21 minutes in he briefly mentions grinding it down to give it a distal taper.
