My 10 year old son attends a private art school, and this year his class is doing Secret Santa's. The catch is that the gifts have to be homemade. We really wanted to give the kid something he could be excited about! So after much Internet scouring we came across your KZbin channel! Now this sword is something that anyone of any age would be excited to receive!! I will definitely be returning to your channel for future craft, and Halloween costume ideas. I love your creativity!! Thx!

I had a thought to make the sword more rigid. If you put a piece of PVC in the middle of the diamond shape it will have the length and strength to make a pretty solid sword. If you heat the PVC with a heat gun, you can even flatten it to better fit the blade shape.

@TheRunesmythe11 жыл бұрын
I can't remember the technical name for it, but the rounded notch in the sword blade just above the handguard is used to increase the force of your swing. I've no idea how it came about or who discovered it, but being able to have a finger above the guard allows you to better control your motions and therefore allows you strike much stronger. Also, on an unrelated note, we have that same picture of the man being knighted hanging on our wall as well. That is one sexy beast of a sword!

I've been watching your videos for a while and they're always enjoyable, I haven't attempted any projects yet because I rarely have time, but one thing I'd like to see is an array of Minecraft tools, it's a very popular game and not many people bring it to life except for profit, you can buy the tools but no-ones made a tutorial on how to make them, I think it'd be really fun and I'd like to see your take on the project.

Nice work! By the way, the cut on the blade next to the hand guard (00:38) allows you to put your finger so the swing of your attack (from high to low) gets bigger. Just give it a try ;)
@resistanceisntfutile10 жыл бұрын
Question about the part where you carve the V shape down the center of the blade. you specify to draw a line from the tip of the sword all the way down to the tip of the little decorative spear piece that comes up over the handle. At 5:31 in the video it appears you also drew a line that runs along the edge of the decorative piece at the bottom. Should we be making a V shape notch along those lines as well? if not why did you draw a line there?

i am working on a Braveheart costume so I need a scottish broadsword. I decided to make this one as you designed it because its a nice long sword. Have you ever done a scottish broad sword? Im midway thru the build of this one. I may use this for that costume or I may build another and tweak the handle area, which is the area where it doesn't look particularly scottish, its looks more middle earth as it should. Either way I wanna do your sword per your instructions to get a feel for the process and may strike out on my own afterwards. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this with the YT community. So far Im liking this very much.
