Failing to destroy Atrox is what truly created Atrox. Its not "a junk sword" it's "thee junk sword" a flawed masterpiece that rejected its destruction. Magnificent
That was the point. That's why he says "I don't know why you'd be hitting it with a sledge hammer", the implication is that even if you did, for whatever reason, it still doesn't matter.
Yeah I got that, but I'm talking about the "rat tail" weld he showed at 0:23. That was his attempt at breaking it, but his weld game is too strong for it to come apart.
I'm talking about either a plasma cutter or an oxy-acetylene rig for cutting out shapes. I sometimes use oxy-acetylene to heat something up to bend it, but I don't really "forge" things in the sense you're talking about. It doesn't matter how often I tell people, they never seem to accept it: I AM NOT A BLACKSMITH (not that I have anything against blacksmiths).
Actually, Mike, that sword's a perfect match for what you're wearing in this vid, very Road Warrior. Spectacular job illustrating your point, lol, from the day I bought my first cheap-ass reptile tang replica sword for $15 on eBay I've wished I could find top-quality pieces like the ones you make. You are god's gift to manly gamers.
That was hard to watch! Thats one of my favorites that ive seen out of youre collection how do you hate atrox!? Its so bad ass looking I love that rusty behemoth haha
In my welding class we welded two 3'' by 4'' 1/4 inch thick cold rolled steel plates together. We then proceeded to put them in a vice and attached a wrench with a 6.5' pipe attached to it and went to town bending it back and forth. We broke the steal before the weld even thought of breaking.
If you aren't able to weld/burn/grind already, then you can't make it. If you are able to weld/burn/grind, you already know how it's made just by looking at it.
damn.... y'know i think the best thing about this guy is not only does he make swords... but the fact that he even looks like a dwarf. with that hair and incredible beard. not to mention the size of the swords makes him seem smaller
If its a weld done right the metal will break not the weld you find a broken weld time to break the welder :) lol and that's one bad ass sword if I had the money I'd try to buy it :)
Exactly, that sword is a junk sword, it's ugly, rough, and tough. And heavy as heck. All that combination made the sword beautiful in my eyes, aaaah...
Mild steel has a tensile strength anywhere from 60,000 - 80,000 psi. %99 of mig wire sold, and properly welded with, will give a bead that is around 70,000 psi tensile strength. There is no doubt in my mind that his weld is stronger than the steel around it.
awww maaan,its not fair,i've been fantisizing about a sword like this fora while, and you come steal my thought and make it how dare you xD....good work,realy awesome
He was trying to prove how weak the small weld was - ended up proving that it's a whole lot stronger than it looks. The whole thing bent - it still would have happened if the handle was twice as wide. Fun video though :)
I may be wrong, but I thought he was showing people the durability of his swords, as people were saying the blade would snap off of the tangs of many of his creations.
Carl McCatfish Ah, that would make sense. It gets a little confusing at the beginning when he shows another thing with only one weld and says "As you can see... they are kind of 'shoddy'," which seems to me to counter what the rest of the video proved.
Lord Event Horizon He essentially makes it a solid piece and at that size he demonstrated from small to big from the start to finish of the video he basically says yes you can break it and bend it more easily when it's small enough for me to hold in the palm of my hand, but scaled up to the size of one of my larger swords you will find it far more difficult to break and bend with your hands, in fact damn near virtually impossible without the aid of tools and leverage. Shows how much you can trust people on the internet who apparently can't weld for shit and make crappy welds and then complain about it and accuse all other welders as being just as shit as they are themselves for lack of skill and experience.... Let it be known that if a weld is done right it's either as strong if not stronger than the rest of the metal around it.
Ohh... Never. Man, I just want to own 1 of your pieces. Until that day comes, I can't bear to see you destroying them for fun. Unless you are doing so by using them in ways they weren't intended. That's just more awesome. I blame you, for even your junk swords look badass.
If you dont need a car, give it tome, dont destroy it, if you dont need a sword give it tome dont destroy it, if you dont need goggles, give it to me dont destroy it. Those things are beatiful and i want em...
I'm pretty sure it comes from people buy the super cheapy, crappy, ACTUAL junk swords based off anime and video games. My friend once bought me a really simple looking buster sword for my 16th birthday. For 100 bucks and some shipping, it didn't seem that back. But when dismantled the handle to see why it bent like a 5 dollar hooker when we chopped at a stump, we found it was that same, really cheap, thin threaded steel that Michael shows at the start.
get a big hammer, michael... Its a "Spalthammer" made to split wood, and the hammer side is to hammer wooden(!) poles into the ground. You will destroy this fine tool .. Kappa

That right there is probably the true essence of that sword.
"Junk" sword? I'll take that any day. If I ever go on an adventure, you're gonna be my designated blacksmith.
[tries to show bad example]--->[actually shows his own exceptional weld work]
Sen Flores at first i did not get it but now i do lol
+simon james are you gay?
I noticed that too LOL!

I'll never question his welding skillz
I like how he bent and fixed the damned thing like nothing.
Dude that junk sword looks amazing.
This is weird, but this was really soothing to watch.
Even your "junk" swords are BADASS and I would pay hundreds or thousands for them!
NO DON'T DESTROY IT! I LIKE IT! #PainfullyLooksAway
the vid of him destroying the car is much better....
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Fancy meeting you here, ya hunk.
Whowhoooo Barnacules!
+Barnacules Nerdgasm This car is for poor people.

The weld is stronger than the metal it's made out of.
1CoLoRz2 That goes to show how good of a blacksmith he is! :D
BlowItOutYourAssXIII He's good. But that applies to most welds.
+BlowItOutYourAssXIII He's not a.... not a... Ah, forget it.
One mans junk is another mans treasure. Hell, i would even buy it from you. TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY!!!

I actually think that sword was awesome
Metal as hell itself
I take it that it is difficult to break your swords? Hahaha
Wtf a real swordsmith/blacksmith from dark ages in present time cool!!!
I cried watching this.....

You've been requested to be thine wielder during the apocalypse times or zombies times.
It's the circle of life dude, where do you think the smashed car parts in the grocery store freezer come from?
noooooo!!!! don't do it!? gif me instead :P
I like atrox
That is one HUGE butterknife XD
the man makes swords unbreakable
I'll take any other "junk" you have...another man's treasure and all.
wish I could say I made a sword as a joke

That is some serious weld there you got thumbs up
If its a weld done right the metal will break not the weld you find a broken weld time to break the welder :) lol and that's one bad ass sword if I had the money I'd try to buy it :)
Thor hammer please.
Then destroy it.
:l oh wait.
Your junk sword is really quite cool.
That junk sword is beautiful...
Why why why why must you try to break it?
Oh my GOD my heart hurts!
Exactly, that sword is a junk sword, it's ugly, rough, and tough.
And heavy as heck.
All that combination made the sword beautiful in my eyes, aaaah...
Its got that post-apocalypse raider look and it's even on fire!
Pretty much. It wouldn't look out of place being waved around in the background of a Mad Max film
You have earned a new subscriber you nutty man you!
well from what i see that´s a full joint going all the way around, not a welded dot.
its supposed to last like.. untill its fully corroded
that sword looks like its from one of my japanese animes
Mild steel has a tensile strength anywhere from 60,000 - 80,000 psi. %99 of mig wire sold, and properly welded with, will give a bead that is around 70,000 psi tensile strength. There is no doubt in my mind that his weld is stronger than the steel around it.
+CrashFactory666 Yup. Clearly anyone saying a welded sword is crap doesn't know shit about welding or metallurgy.
That junk sword asctually looks kinda bad ass.
He should make the meat cleaver from Demon Souls or some of the better weapons from the Soul's games.
Make a switch axe
you should start making battleaxes and giant warhammers!
they're fun
Men, u have a New sub... you really need to do the blade of dragon age 2.
Hi from Spain, so niiicee Job Men.
awww maaan,its not fair,i've been fantisizing about a sword like this fora while, and you come steal my thought and make it how dare you xD....good work,realy awesome
A good weld is stronger then what it's holding together. :)
Jane Murphy is that serana?
Yep.

Matt Winkler So hold on why is it his welding is not a weak point of the sword?

that thing looks amazing for being junk.
they are saying don't destroy it! yeah it looks cool but. BUT your Cords for your grinders had me cringing with every blow of the sledge hammer!
wow your good if thats only junk thrown together id actually want one lol
Diggin the rebar handle but I'm sure it'll tear your hands to shit without gloves
its so cool looking tho
I imagine if this were put in a game it would have increased swing speed and fire damage or something
Hey..great stuff you're doing man..Can you build Sol_Badguy's sword from Guilty Gear?
Looks like something straight outta mad max
Soon...must save money to have you make awesome sword...lol
Donate it to Pyramid Head next time.
"They are kind of sh*t" priceless xD
OK. Point taken.
Dear lord, that sword looks FUCKING BADASS! If you don't care about it, send it to me!
I've seen this sword in his other videos, i was like nooooooo
have a sword fight
he created my fine sword
indestructible
welding and grinding I get, but what do you mean by burning? Are you talking about using heat to forge?
dude if there's a zombie apcolips that would have been perfect
If you still have this sword I would love to have it
point in case strong weld wont brake.
Ohh... Never. Man, I just want to own 1 of your pieces. Until that day comes, I can't bear to see you destroying them for fun. Unless you are doing so by using them in ways they weren't intended. That's just more awesome. I blame you, for even your junk swords look badass.
can you do a build process on that sword
If you dont need a car, give it tome, dont destroy it, if you dont need a sword give it tome dont destroy it, if you dont need goggles, give it to me dont destroy it. Those things are beatiful and i want em...
wow that weld is strong
please dont destroy , Ill take it ;-;
How much would you sell the big Buster sword not the puny one?
man if I ever win the lotto I'm gonna be your biggest customer xD
i existed but i was forgotten :(
Aatrox confirmed.
Illuminati!!!!!!!!!!!
Go tell your friends, Mikes a come'n
I agree
Is there not a build video for Atrox? is so I'm going to be saddened :,(
he said it was just a junk sword, meaning he thought it was crap and didn't make one
that poor car bitchin sword though
you know f the people that say it will break! they sound jealous of craftsmanship. keep it up!

You need an olog for this
get a big hammer, michael... Its a "Spalthammer" made to split wood, and the hammer side is to hammer wooden(!) poles into the ground. You will destroy this fine tool .. Kappa
Can I please come and work for you.?

#Respect

1st 10 seconds (ie 1st hit) proves them wrong.
