Odin Makes: Mighty Thor's Mjolnir from Thor Love and Thunder

In this video I remake one of my early props, using a tool I wish I had back then! I make the reformed Hammer of Thor as seen in the trailers for the new movie Thor Love and Thunder.

It would be neat to put magnets in the ragnarok version to "reform" it so it could split apart like in the trailer.

[@buffgoji2986]

That seems like alot more effort than its worth

[@Janthdanl]

@@buffgoji2986 not really, just cut small holes in the pieces and put tiny little magnets in with super glue

[@rockinHurley777]

@@buffgoji2986 it is.

[@rockinHurley777]

@@Janthdanl no. You'd still have to out it together like a 3d puzzle. What's the point?

[@Cornchips-om5rf]

​@@rockinHurley777 it would be cool. why is it such a big deal that someone wants to do this?

[@Draculaisabat01]

Odin you made the hammer now you gotta make zeus's bolt i mean you gotta make all the lightning weapons right

[@sureshmakwana8709]

Yes absolutely !!! He's obliged for that !!

[@MariniProduction2021]

I being a craftsman who works metal I made the iron thor hammer with an aluminum handle and I made the video even if it didn't go as I hoped 🥲

[@samirsaiyed2595]

Bsbs

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

looks amazing! Can't wait to see how you tackle the lighting. I can't seam to get mine to totally show up on camera.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Jake! I plan on doing it pretty much the same way I did the Leviathan Axe, I hope it works out the same!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

@@OdinMakes cool! I'll have to go back and check that one out!

[@rockinHurley777]

[@lokilover1315]

As someone who works with 3d files for 3d printing… I KNOW creating new files is NOT a "shortcut"... It's a "long cut" you should be proud, and not let any haters put you down, my dude. Awesome job!

[@THXSwitch625]

I’d like to see you make a new, undamaged Mjolnir using the laser cutter for the runes like you did here. This way all your hammers match and you can save the original for posterity.

[@Human-vf3wz]

Another awesome build. Great job Odin!!

[@stuchly1]

This looks absolutely incredible, it's mesmerizing to watch you put your skills to work. You absolutely ARE worthy IMHO! 😍👍

[@RSpudieD]

That's awesome! The lazer cut cracks and details look amazing and really line up well!

[@WilliamHaynesTV]

This guy is incredible!!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you!

[@tgmthegoodman]

That looks really cool

[@goatelope7539]

Awesome work. Looks amazing. Love seeing adjust ad you go and handling the challenges and errors that happen

[@mercury1076]

Superb work. . . . as usual. Hail Odin!

[@paulhugo1623]

Fantastic improvement

[@blizatrex]

This is beautiful.

[@anmkohaku0077]

Beautiful!!!!!!!

[@williamblankenship8209]

The laser looks amaizng! I think when I make my own I might try and imprinting the foam. I have done it before and it works. I saw Punish Props take the same idea and 3D print it which I thought was awesome. Now that I have a nicer 3D printer I plan to make “stamps” of the end details and heat the foam and then imprint them onto it ( making a negative file so I get the raised details correct ). Just wanted to say that idea if anyone else wanted to try it as well if you can’t get your hands on a laser but still want to try to be more accurate! Or if you couldn’t find something like a belt that looks good in place.

[@OdinMakes]

I have seen the 3d printed stamps, and I love the way it looks! Right now, i am better laser cutting than 3d printing

[@stBricks-dx7er]

Looks real! Great job, I mean a better way to do it would be to smash the hasbro one a glue it back together. This is also good. Lol

[@godai6203]

Good to see you’re still going strong. I’ve been watching for about four years, and I’ve loved every video you’ve uploaded. Stay amazing, Odin.

[@kazanth]

“Can’t fix that now” awesome

[@ToAutoMaker]

The finished product is really beautiful. Thank you for your sharing. I'm going to try to make similar handicrafts. I hope I can be as good as you

[@stvhght]

Seeing the side by side at the end is really cool. Shows how much better you’ve gotten with practice.

[@FissionCreations]

Wow! That was awesome

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Fisson Creations! I did see your comments in the live premiere as well!

[@hunnymoonart4722]

The Way You learned from the previous hammer build and made it even more perfect in this once is kinda awesome 🔥

[@risbill1]

You can add a kerf offset to Lightburn to account for the material the laser removes as well as the shrinkage.

[@ShadowKamehameha32]

I would love, love, LOVE to see you tackle the Dragonslayer from Berserk

[@lorddeathfiend]

OMG! I want one that lights up!

[@lowlvlcosplay]

just impressive^^

[@Jukebox707]

Dude, your content is so underrated. You make all of your replicas to perfection and you deserve more subscribers than you have.

[@MrSpannners]

The cracks and pitting really hide the seams between your panels, looks really good. Awesome to foam master work his magic once again.

[@missmarymack06]

Oh I love it! So amazing! What a good lesson on learning from previous experience! 😆 and light up hammer?! Yes please! Glad you’re back making videos! 😁😁😁

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Miss Mary Mack!

[@stacyhunt2742]

I love your intros to these videos!!! :)

[@sattvanobodhi3838]

Odin, you did place the pommel in the correct orientation on the hammer for this one, but the points of the handle need to face the same way as the square sides of the hammer, rather than the broad face

[@luket8925]

Amazing you are very talented

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you!

[@michelle_mitch_p]

This is this weeks project for me to try x

[@EricWilliams-ms3ro]

It may have took a lot of time getting your templates right, but this came out so great. Love the update so much 😍

[@dawidscheffler7152]

Love to see your work has evolved. It remains glorious but, has definitely become more refined :)

[@loochboy]

Another fantastic build! BUT, I cannot wait for the light-up version, that's the one I wanna build, and I'll have to find a makerspace somewhere to get the lasering done!

[@Justrex01]

It took me a couple of days to catch up with your video. **sighs** life stuff. That turned out amazing. Really love the way you are enjoying your new laser engraver. And now I really want to see how you make the next one light up. Just now learning how to do lights myself and I'm eager to sit at your knee and absorb new things. You are my hero, sir!

[@starky4352]

I would love to see Dante’s Rebellion sword from Devil May Cry. That would look amazing!

[@kimkuechle9008]

Love your videos.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you!

[@peggy_zero_Dad]

No denying how cool the laser cutter is though! Odin the Futuresmith!✨

[@davidtodd5538]

Out did yourself again on making another awesome prop.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you David!

[@ArmouryTerrain]

This is a nice evolution of this prop, especially they way you have built on what you had made before. Pity about the handle, but I am sure that you will remake it as soon as you can get more of those conchos. From someone who wears the hammer everyday, Well done!

[@shadowlaughers101]

another way to get the detailing on the edges of the hammer is by 3D printing a stamp, heating up the foam, and imprinting it into the foam while its warm. Seems to transfer textures really well

[@roblane2712]

nice prop

[@vaggelispatzalis839]

Amazing work , i hope you also make Gorr's necrosword in the future !!!

[@grotgrusson5124]

_It took much longer than I had anticipated_ ... Name of machine *Longer* -pun intended?

[@barrydevlinred]

Looks awesome mate had my doughts about how it would look with the panels together but you pulled it off nicely

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Barry!

[@rockinHurley777]

Doubts*

[@michaelnhana]

If you can make the cracks glow, that would be sick!

[@themechbuilder6171]

yey a build video

[@glenpstevens]

This is amazing. An ooohhhh my days yes plzzz re do stormbreaker 😱😱😱😱

[@stryker-4733]

That is just amazing that piece looks better than the one from Hasbro I'll be making my in that lights up but I look forward to seeing the style you use

[@jordanmelven]

Hell yeah, I was hoping you were going to make one in the future where the cracks light up. 👍

[@vincentwatkins6401]

Kudos to you and your patience! Lord knows I don’t!

[@jaquo25]

I'll again suggest that you use the laser to cut a mask that you stick to the foam. Then use a spritzer to spray solvent which will eat away at exposed foam. It's just like acid etching metal.

[@OdinMakes]

Ah, That would work really well on styrofoam! Thank you, gives me ideas!

[@loganspropshop]

This was awesome can't wait for v2 of both mjonir and stormbreaker.So could you please make green goblins helmet

[@haydenmcfarlane9369]

I thought i would always prefer the look of the clean hammer but i love the look of the cracked hammer more then the clean one for some reason 😂 i really want to make one

[@nassa3.2.1.5]

Yessss do it make another stormbreaker

[@Jay_T62]

The detail on the engravings is so goooood! Laser cutting is never cheating imo, you worked hard enough to have the machine, it'd be a waste to not use it :) I have a quick question, how hard would it be to cut yoga blocks without a band saw? 🤔 I would need to use some for a project but i don't know how manageable it would be without the "right" tools

[@KRayxKodessA]

I would love this for my THOR collection!! How cool would it be if it could light up from inside so the "cracks" were blue?!

[@liammcbillybob1251]

You should totally make the Grafted Blade Greatsword from Eldin Ring.

[@Brutebandit]

Something that would be amazing if you made would be the Giant Crusher hammer from elden ring. You do such amazing builds with all sorts of weapons so it would be cool to see how it would come out!

[@TheRagingSpartan534]

I Loved the mechagodzilla costume

[@clivegervigny1067]

Silent feel great knife

[@clivegervigny1067]

Silent Hill great knife

[@beckymurphy4714]

Since I don't have access to a laser engraver I would use my wood burning tool to engrave the cracks and symbols. I'd love to see you tackle some of the weapons from "Buffy: the Vampire Slayer." Specifically the Scythe and Faith's Jackal knife, but also Giles' two-headed axe and the Hunga-Munga.

[@SwiftGaming07]

It would be cool if you thinned out the cracks and put a button in the handle and added some bright blue lights in the cracks for lightning, just my opinion Me after finishing video, I didn't realize you were planning on doing it

[@jacobcutler1060]

Hey odin! I know you’ve used the threaded ends of painters poles before for making travel safe long props. I wonder if you could use the same method to be able to swap out the mjolnir heads and only use 1 handle? Just a thought

[@sporadicamnesic]

3:50 also reminded me of a bulky version of those Spider bots from the film Runaway with Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons

[@OdinMakes]

I loved that movie when it was new! And I started making really bad cardboard and wire hanger versions of the spider bots! I also enjoyed how the Runaway armor kept popping up in low budget movies and TV shows.

[@sporadicamnesic]

@@OdinMakes The chain mail under suit with ballsistics vest and padding over the top? I always remembered the spider bots on the construction site lift and the guided bullets scenes as a child (baring in mind I first saw it at the end of the 80s as I was born the year it originally came out 🤣)

[@whelpd]

You could use that wrongly made handle to make Thunderstrike (Eric Masterson) mace from the comics

[@D2Kprime]

Boy, the sky is the limit on what you can do now with that laser-cutter both with new projects and revising older-ones.

[@timgagnon]

You gotta do Thor’s new helmet from Love and Thunder!

[@Como_Se_Hace_Props_DIY]

Remake the Stormbreaker!

[@rockinHurley777]

I used a stamp to make the runes on the side. Heat the foam then press the stamp and it works a treat 👍. No it's not cheating

[@CT-7567-]

hey Odin, I think it would be awesome if you could make The Grand Inquisitor's Dual bladed lightsaber from the Kenobi show! I think it would look awesome

[@uriahjohnson9663]

Odin for your next video you should make the version of excalibur from once upon a time

[@singhsidhu9972]

Hera pheri music vibe ,😜

[@reddragonih1234]

I wonder what's next...maybe a blackbolt helmet

[@_henryd_]

Looks great! Only thing I think that would be cool to add or something to do if you made another was to make one where the cracks glow, similar to your God of War Axe that you made (which was also amazingly cool)! Not sure how you'd make that but I'd love to see it some time!

[@OdinMakes]

I talked about that in the end, I plan on it

[@_henryd_]

@@OdinMakes Oh sorry I must've missed that bit at the end 😅 That's what happens when I multi-task YT and study I suppose Lol

[@poorlymade1187]

i wouldve made it out of acrylic so leds could be put inside and make the cracks glow

[@OdinMakes]

If you watch all the way to the end, I talk about making one that will glow! But I won't use acrylic. I don't want it to break if it gets dropped.

[@thorriklawrence449]

Odin makes should make Gorr the God butcher sword next and stormbreaker.

[@BobungusHumphries]

May I request Jetstream Sam's HF Murasama blade? I think you'd have a great time with that one!

[@Microman504]

I did exactly the same thing on the top circle of my 3D printed mjolnir 😂 used the "RUNES" font

[@jojodaman3457]

It would be so cool if you made the bfg from doom eternal I would make that in a heartbeat love your videos man

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Jojo!

[@joeydaugherty2965]

It's a bit of an older prop to make but any chance you can make the Mk 50 infinity war shield iron man briefly uses against thanos?

[@TheForeverRanger]

Just goes to show that even if you have access to fancy equipment it doesn't mean it is a shortcut.

[@wonindastink1828]

Will you be putting a file for the laser engraved detail on your etsy?

[@avatar050796]

Hi Odin you're the best. Please make a Moon Knight props too. I'm a huge fan of Moon Knight.

[@tyrantcomics7062]

Can you make the zurg ion blaster? (The original is simpler if thats an issue) please?

[@OdinMakes]

I can look, I am excited for the new Lightyear movie!

[@MeNormalDefMe]

I hoped for lights, still cool tho

[@bryce-man6247]

Maybe Something Like A Dath vader helmet That would be cool

[@littletrev4585]

Have you considered using a 3D printer to make more sturdy and accurate parts? I printed a Thor’s hammer for myself and it was sturdy enough to fill the head with sand and make a hefty hammer

[@loganhillman7448]

I started making my own Mjolnir on Friday. Only difference is that mine is made of Steel.

[@xandart724]

Plz remake stormbreaker. And also what are the dimentions for Mjolnir. I would like to make one myself but can't find the accurate sizes.

[@titantantisunthorn9222]

Is there any chance that you would provide the laser cut files?

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

Could you heat the metal shells so they bend? I know when I bought this fancy zipper bit for the handle of my lightsaber I hammered it around a wood dowel. 🤷

[@JJ-he6zg]

Now you've made many different MCU thors hammers/hammer like weapons you should make the god of war thors hammer.

[@OdinMakes]

I have been looking at it!

[@marcenglefield4280]

What is the model of laser cutter youre using??

[@pikagamerbosch3987]

when are you going to make the power stone, Odin? because I would like to see that video about it.😄
