Making the the Spear of Destiny from CONSTANTINE

[@deakferrand1516]

Watching this for the 4th time !!! I'm absolutely amazed by your level of craftsmanship and knowledge, beautiful to see you work !! I can see general Kael's helmet on the lower shelf at the end of the video, so freaking cool !!!

[@DaBuild]

Thanks Deak! Much appreciated! Indeed it is Kael's helmet. It is pretty cool. Got it from another maker but it needs some extra love. Metal parts and weathering :) Cheers!

100% underrated movie!!! It's so great and so is this prop build! Thanks for sharing the project.

Cheers Brian! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate your support.

Great video and amazing build! It's quite an honor to have inspired such a great piece of art!

Well, thank you! Your prop store is off the roof! When I saw yours, I knew it was my go to reference. Cheers! 😃

Absolutely amazing! commenting to feed the algorithm so you can hopefully get a viral vid - you deserve way more subs than you have for this quality of build.

forgot to ask, what grinder do you own? I've been looking at them for a while, do you like yours?

[@DaBuild]

It's a 2x72 variable speed Vashti grinder. Honestly, I'm not a pro at all when it comes to grinder...I got this one used (but almost new) for a steal on Marketplace. 300$. If I had to buy a new one, I would probably check the ones from Alec Steele. alecsteeleshop.com/collections/grinders

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

whenever i blunt a reproduction, i like to use granite, the stone gives the more natural age look from my time doing it

[@DaBuild]

There are many ways to get to the final product. Whatever works for you 😀

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

@@DaBuild yeah, my grandfather taught me that "most of these real artifacts spend there years in dirt, soil and stone, so thats why i always use dirt, soil and stone to reproduce age" and its worked great for me, the acidic soil i use gives the metal that distinct smell of oldness

[@DaBuild]

​@@bigfrankfraser1391Pretty clever! I might give it a shot!

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

@@DaBuild reason i do it is because of something my grandfather said "the difference between replica and reproduction isnt the appearance, its the fine details and subtly in detail right down to things you dont think about" he was strict with teaching me to reproduce items, and would destory anything i made that wasnt good enough, but to be fair, i now look at every detail carefully, even down to things such as how the patina of metals forms where a sword handle meets the blade, its way more time consuming and limits how much i can do a year, but as a result i loan my local museum some of my works as replacements while the real items get maintenance to preserve them edit: plus having ocd helps, that obsessive need for perfection is why i only make 2 or 3 things a year with the acidic soil, i mostly use that just to give that "just dug up" smell, kind of like a petrichor smell, its satisfying for no reason other than its just there

This is an awesome video, I´m working on my Lance, that I 3d printed. But I´m having trouble with the wire weaving, what thicknet is the wire you have ? I suspect mine is either to thick or to strong

nice prop! What is the gold metal/foil you used? I'm having trouble finding it on amazon.

[@DaBuild]

Thanks man! I bought from your store when I started building props 5 years ago. You were one of inspiration :) As for the foil, check out on Ebay for something like this: Stock 0.05mm x 100mm x 1000mm H62 Brass Metal Thin Sheet Foil Plate Roll. Cheers!

[@weaz549]

What is that little bandsaw you have? It’s awesome and I’ve never seen one before. Great build btw!

[@DaBuild]

Hey there! It s basically on a portable metal band saw on a stand. So you have to buy the saw and some of them have a stand you can buy to go alone. Pretty useful. Mine is a cheap one with not much clearance. 2 inches. It does the trick for small stuff but that's it. Perfect for prop making. Cheers!

[@weaz549]

Can you share the brand and model? I’m trying to see it in the video, but I can’t read it

[@BenjoReacts]

I built a 3D printed version of this. Was inspired by your video. I have it completed, except I can’t figure out how to do the wire wrapping. Any advice? Or is there any videos teaching this type of wrapping? Has to be called something since it is sorta like a knot or something. Thanks in advance.

[@DaBuild]

Hey there! The wire wrapping was indeed a pain in the neck. Using soft aluminum copper wire was the way to go. Looks like gold and soft enough to be bent to will. As for the technic, i just tried to match the reference as best as I could...not perfect but no one will ever know. Good luck 🤞

[@DaBuild]

And for full disclosure, I redid it twice.

[@jirijiri6355]

can You make tutorial for wire? i got printed one, but really cant handle that wire... :-(

[@marleyboy7732]

Wondering the purpose of the design. I understand the replica. And its a great job. But really want to know why this spear head looked like this. What were wires for, gold wrapping for, that center piece (looked like a nail) at the point? Who put thoes designs & what they serve.

[@DaBuild]

Damn good question! Indeed, it doesn't make much sens. According to the books, the real one does not remotely look like this. Way more simple, sober.

[@mjsimunovich013]

Nicely done. There’s some things I’d change but it’s choice on what you do. Try and make Batman’s batarang from Arkham games.

[@DaBuild]

Cheers Matt! Totally agree. Making is purely subjective. Yes, I should definitely make the Batarang!

[@mjsimunovich013]

@@DaBuild thanks and cheers to you too. Welding, using certain bits, and other machinery tool are extremely tough and hard to get especially when making props like the spear of destiny and other ones. Can’t wait until you make the batarang from Arkham games. It’s going to be amazing. To make it snap and lock into place I recommend taking a look at spring quick release lock pin ann not see how those are set up and built to give you an example how the batarang stays in place when in and not in use. What also be fun is the ooze canister from TMNT and have it glow and something from original Ghostbusters and afterlife movies.

[@DaBuild]

@@mjsimunovich013 Thanks man! For the welding part, that's the skill I don't have yet. (I would probably set my house on fire 🤣) For the Ooze canister, I should make version 2.0 eventually. There's so mamny things I would make differently. Cheers!

[@mjsimunovich013]

@@DaBuild you’re welcome. Yeah welding is definitely a tricky skill to learn but what’s you get the hang of it, it becomes easy. Plus there’s now welding machines that require no gas. As long as you have the proper setup (outside with welding curtains so no one can go blind) you won’t burn your house down. I think new version like the 1990 movie would like really cool. Yes there is and there’s so many to choose from. Cheers to you and Happy New Year.
