Making a Saya for a Wakizashi sword

[@PKshockwave]

This was amazing. Doing research for an art commission as well as a story I'm writing and I have nothing but mad respect for this craft. Thank you

[@NateV-SwordSavvy]

Nice crafting skills - very impressed with the final product!

[@moshesgarage8859]

Thank you so much Nate V. I really appreciate it. I hope this video will be helpful for someone to make a Saya of their own.

Thanks for sharing this.

Excellent work. It is worth knowing that Titebond wood glue will off-gas acetic acid in the presence of moisture, for the lifetime of the material. This can cause a sword to rust. Atmospheric moisture could be enough to trigger this. The company will admit this if asked.

Absolutely beautiful!!

absolutely amazing man

[@HolisticJedi]

That’s a fine job! I realize my skill level is nowhere it needs to be to achieve such results. Thanks for the video, friend!

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

[@utubepunk]

Dayum! Dat look GOOD! 🙏

Hi Master Moshe, You have been very busy I see. I wanted to also let you know that I replaced the Habuki on my katana. It was easier than I thought, but now the sword does not fit tightly in the Saya. I have some adjusting to do to the Saya. I think I should add some wood shims to the inside of the Saya mouth, but would like some comments from you about this before I do this. Thanks for the great video! 🙂

Fascinating.

[@ipkzubair]

Looks really good it really helped me out😊😊

[@moshesgarage8859]

I am so happy to hear that. I made this video in a hope that it will help someone, and I’m so happy it did and you liked it. Thank you Zubair A.

Beautiful!

[@rangered2010]

There’s some guys on another channel that think only people in China can make katanas! LOL!

[@RVKatana]

Informative video , good work

[@abbya4615]

Wish I could just pay someone to do it for me.

[@adamwilder1407]

Well done brother! I'd say just re-tie your sageo since it's upside down! Other than that, fine craftsmanship!

[@joelcastillo5151]

What kind of wood did you use? Beautiful work BTW.

[@dragonback6075]

I'm curious too my Friend. .. Alder is apparently a good choice according to some woodworking channels. They say its easy to work with an relatively cheap. So good for novice woodworkers

[@akirastorm7313]

Supreme art men I love it

[@Randorf100]

it hard for me to find the right wood to make the Saya how can I get my Katana curve fit it I fallow the curve it will ask for a full amount of wood just to fallow it give this man a way to do it I do a lot of wood carving, but I am having trouble with that.

[@MultiBegbeg]

Bonjour , la vidéo a été trop mixé 😢 plus de détails aurait était la bienvenue

[@wompingwizard8694]

What kind of spray paint did you use to get that sort of glossy black in the end? Most spray paints I use give a matt finish.

[@aaronstanley6914]

@11:22 it is shown he just applied a clear coat.

[@JeepITguy]

Well done. Did you forge the blade?

[@moshesgarage8859]

Thank you. I did make the blade for a truck spring. I have a video how I made it, you can watch when you have time.

[@MultiBegbeg]

Bonjour , sa na pas dut être facile pour la fabrication du Saya avec des ciseaux a bois traditionnel , vous avez pris quoi comme bois ?! dommage que la traduction ne soit pas activer ! Autrement Walter Sorrells a fait de très bon DVD !! belle finition !!!!

[@kirkagegaming1816]

I need to repaint my saya its that standard black glossy look but it's only a certain bit of it I need to paint not all of it but I'm worried about the coulors looking different any advise?

[@aaronstanley6914]

Anything larger than a dime/penny just Sand it all down and re lacquer it. You will never get the finish right and it would always be noticable.

[@АртемШестаков-э9з]

Нельзя использовать наждачную бумагу - будет царапаться клинок

[@dragonback6075]

Wood type used please?? 🙏

[@dragonback6075]

Reason I ask is I'd like to try myself. I have a rather nice Tanto, which only came with a nylon sheath 😒 which I absolutely hate

[@moshesgarage8859]

I used Poplar wood 3/4” thick boards. Good luck to you and your project.

[@AXAH78]

Interesting channel. I subscribe to the channel.

[@shark8837]

Nowhere can I find a video of how to make say with pockets for kogai and kozuki. Maybe you can show?
