Seriously they are beautiful and perfect I've been trying to make my own and they come out terrible every time but I lack the equipment and patience to make them the way you do... I would love to order a pair
Sorry for late reply, thanks much for your comment. Unfortunately, I don't have any available, I keep toying with the idea of putting a few up on Etsy, but haven't done it. You remind me that I should, thanks.
Awesome job Tyson, I really liked that video. Now I really want to try making a sword! On a side note, my wife and daughter were watching this with me and were cracking up laughing at the tosses to the trash can. I do that every day from across the shop. Many times a day, but I never make a single shot.
is that a standard 15 deg panel routing bit? and is the bearing extension to eliminate the flat part of the panel a custom thing or did you just get a larger bearing to put on it? Thanks
Yep, panel bit as you say. You do need a larger bearing to keep it from getting that ridge on the bit, however a bearing still leaves too large of a gap between the bearing and cutters, for the width of these blades. I ended up using a few washers as the bearing, and I make sure they are tight on each time I use it. Good eye.
it's leaf, for "Life", it to take life, I kinda like Ron Pearlman s weapon in Season of the Witch, it's totally outta line for the period, a full diamond cross section with, short, upturned cross gaurds, (wouldn't call them quillions, ) and it just looks like an old cartoon rendition of a sword.
I know this is an older post but I have been coming across Tube videos of people putting blue painters tape on both side then using super glue dabs to hold them in place. Everyone I have seen these people swear by this and say it's way better than double sided tape. Just a thought. Pat
What a beautiful project!I love trying these kinds of projects in my shop during school breaks. Is there some way that I could get those templates you used? They don't happen to be somewhere online are they?
I'm actually looking to make one for myself. I bought a steel one for sparring during our training but those ones aren't allowed in events like comic con etc
I saw this video so cool man Great job awesome. Can you make roman sword with eagle headle and sheath please I would like to see. thanks for sharing!!!!
Hey, great video, really inspired me to start with sword making again, would it be possible to make scabbards for the swords you have already made? Such as the longsword and broadsword? Thank you 👌🏼💪🏻
Whoa! Weird parallel universe or something. I love making wooden swords and just finished a gladius for my kid a few months ago. Now we're working on wooden ranger knives. I have a Zortrax M200 like you and I just printed a DH-17! You've convinced me to break my lathe out and turn something on it. Thanks for the videos! Really enjoying them. What do you like to use to treat the wood of your swords?
I’m doing that very thing! Single board swords with limited hand tools. I’ve done a Longsword and am working on a Viking sword now. ua-cam.com/video/yXk-L5IasHw/v-deo.html
2x4 would be fine, but my guess is that you'd want to make them ~1/2" or thicker to beat around. These are thinner, but also made from denser wood. That's just my guess. Good luck, sounds fun!
Здравствуйте! Очень кропотливая работа! Посмотрел с интересом, и точно не буду так делать 🙂, потому что планирую сделать мечи для игры, а не для выставки. Придумаю технологию попроще.
You know... I've built several since then, even filmed a few, my editing is snail slow though... Look back through my Instagram to see a few others. Thanks!
Hello! Loved the video, you've earned my sub! have you ever thought of making these swords to sell? I would love to have things like the swords you've made but sadly I'm not that good at making things like this. Nor do I have the equipment to do so. Just curious haha, keep up the great work!
SLESSER 15 you should just build one, it's really satisfying. I'm just finishing up one that I've been making mostly with a $15 coping saw and a hand plane.
They're the same shape. In the actual Roman times a gladius was an actual metal sword used by gladiators and roman soldiers. A rudis was a ceremonial/symbolic sword, made out of wood, and given to a gladiator once he had fought long enough to earn his freedom. But they looked the same besides metal vs. wood.
Not true, many forms of gladius featured a leaf shape or “waisted” design, widening at the tip. If it had more of a cross guard, rather than the typical wooden one of a gladius, and no large sphere pommel, it would be. They are very similar swords though, I’ll give you that.
S4Plays True, I wasn’t saying they were not. I was just saying that a leaf shaped gladius is still a gladius and not a xyphos, as it lacks too many features. The gladius was in use for over 600 years by the Romans, and had many variations.
do you actually beat, on anything, with your wooden specimens, any fema or anything, Or just nice wall hangers? that don't rust but might swell with moister...
No problems with swelling, but no, I don't use these for any actual sparring practice. You could, they'd last a while, but would probably build a bit different for contact. Thanks.

That stuff you were rubbing on the swords at the end made them look so alive and beautiful.
They are lovely, mate.
Thanks much!
I must say, you make such beautiful things.
Thank you
Fingerless work gloves. Epic.
Cool sword
Thank you for including templates, great work.
came out beautifully,very instructional, great demo all the way through, thanx 4 sharing God Bless
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful work.
You're awesome! Thank you for sharing the template!!!!!!!!!!
lovely - a fun build
Thanks Jimi!
I love you
You've inspired me to try something new, thank you.
Suggestion. Painters tape both then super glue them together for the router template. Works amazingly.
Thanks for the suggestion, blue tape + super glue is a great method for sure
Seriously they are beautiful and perfect I've been trying to make my own and they come out terrible every time but I lack the equipment and patience to make them the way you do... I would love to order a pair

Nice
awesome job Tyson I can't wait to see what you come up with next project.
Thanks Opa!
Great job bro
Am so inspired hope to try it!
Wow, they look very nice!
thanks!
That moment when you've been watching these guys since there first video. Love how y'all still make God the center of it all.
awesome sword that will inspired me for doing a replica from movie
hypnotizing to watch
This is great!! I'm gonna make one for me and my friend. :)
Did you add washers to your router bit or a bigger bering for the blade profile
Awesome job Tyson, I really liked that video. Now I really want to try making a sword! On a side note, my wife and daughter were watching this with me and were cracking up laughing at the tosses to the trash can. I do that every day from across the shop. Many times a day, but I never make a single shot.
Ha! You'd think with all failures and practice we'd get better at those trash can shots.. but... at least I know I'm in good company
Funny. I keep one in the computer room too.
Lovely work and great informative video. Thanks
Another one who just found your channel. Totally awesome! I love them. Had to subscribe.
same
Very crazy awesome
Thanks

The leaf one is called a gladius
Very cool
I've been messing around with prop shields on my channel. Would love to see you make a shield
Haha, indeed, so would my son. (Which means it'll probably happen)
I know this is an older post but I have been coming across Tube videos of people putting blue painters tape on both side then using super glue dabs to hold them in place. Everyone I have seen these people swear by this and say it's way better than double sided tape. Just a thought. Pat
Thanks, it's a great recommendation. I've seen a few of those vids as well, definitely want to try the blue tape method now.
great work sir, can you make a sharped edge wooden katana? it might be a interesting project.if you make one then kindly film it.
What degree chamfer router bit did you use for the swords blade edge? 75 degree?
What a beautiful project!I love trying these kinds of projects in my shop during school breaks. Is there some way that I could get those templates you used? They don't happen to be somewhere online are they?
Thanks, I've got a few templates linked in the description.
Belíssima 👍
I just found your channel but it's so awesome! Next build a viking sword? :) And oh yeah, take my sub! :)
Ya, viking sword would be fun.
I'm actually looking to make one for myself. I bought a steel one for sparring during our training but those ones aren't allowed in events like comic con etc

Hey, great video, really inspired me to start with sword making again, would it be possible to make scabbards for the swords you have already made? Such as the longsword and broadsword? Thank you 👌🏼💪🏻
Certainly possible, will make one sometime. Thanks for your kind words.
I, too would like to see that.
Broadsword is Just what people who know nothing about swords call longswords and arming swords
Whoa! Weird parallel universe or something. I love making wooden swords and just finished a gladius for my kid a few months ago. Now we're working on wooden ranger knives. I have a Zortrax M200 like you and I just printed a DH-17! You've convinced me to break my lathe out and turn something on it.
Thanks for the videos! Really enjoying them. What do you like to use to treat the wood of your swords?
Sweet! Total doppelgangers going on here.
great job! But how many inches is the blade thickness?
What router bit did you use to taber the edge down
what blade did you use on the bandsaw?
ok but how can i make that with one single piece of wood and hand tools xD
Adam Orlowski I’ve tried... it’s possible but it’s very hard
Search up how to make a wooden sword there is a guy I saw that made a Gladius with handtools
a meticulous amount of shaving with a knife and sand paper
@@thatxfatxguy so true
I’m doing that very thing! Single board swords with limited hand tools. I’ve done a Longsword and am working on a Viking sword now. ua-cam.com/video/yXk-L5IasHw/v-deo.html
wood shop huh! really nice
so you sell those
How much would you charge to make 2 more ??
u should make a sheild to go with the longsword
In reply to your mmmm just handles I have a use for some lightweight wooden handles which I will explain further if you can make just handles.
So, uh... What was the box for? Seems really unnecessary in my opinion.
You are correct, it's not necessary for 1 or 2 builds, I've made a few, so the box just makes alignment easier when making a batch.
savage
looks very nice but i think a swords handle is supposed to be the length of 2 hands
What is the name of the tool you use to hold the wood in place on the ban saw?
Hand screw clamps. They are super useful for many things.
Geeks Wood Shop I was meaning the guide at :21. Sorry I should of said the time
Ah that. It's a grip-tite brand magnetic fence.
Thanks, looks like a very useful tool also
More swords!
Would you make just handles?
Just handles? Hmmm... curious.
What thick ness wood are your swords I was going to use 2x4 and make multiple blades at once how thin would you go for children to play with
2x4 would be fine, but my guess is that you'd want to make them ~1/2" or thicker to beat around. These are thinner, but also made from denser wood. That's just my guess. Good luck, sounds fun!
Здравствуйте!
Очень кропотливая работа! Посмотрел с интересом, и точно не буду так делать 🙂, потому что планирую сделать мечи для игры, а не для выставки. Придумаю технологию попроще.
Thanks. Good luck with your build, whatever methods you try!
What's the glue you're using?
glue XD
do you sale these
Any new swords in the works???
You know... I've built several since then, even filmed a few, my editing is snail slow though... Look back through my Instagram to see a few others. Thanks!
What wood r u using for the blade
wood XD
I would like to buy one plz
How many money did you cost on all equipment.
Like... at least 6 moneys
Im working on a gladius but i cant get the handle shape correct! Im on my 4th try :(
Oh no! Sorry, but good on ya for keeping at it.
The shape of the handle can be straight with leather strips wrapped around it.
why do u use mustard glue is better
Looks like Maximus' sword from "Gladiator"
Because its from freaking Rome iswell
Wooden swords Tone?
So cool. Can you make a Bronze Age sword
Maybe at some point, would be fun for sure!
Are these durable or just for show
they are durable, but I wouldn't use them in sparring
Hello! Loved the video, you've earned my sub! have you ever thought of making these swords to sell? I would love to have things like the swords you've made but sadly I'm not that good at making things like this. Nor do I have the equipment to do so. Just curious haha, keep up the great work!
Thanks, I've thought about it, nothing yet but may give it a try.
Would like to know if you would like to take on a project of making me two wooden Gladius's like used in Spartacus Blood and Sand? I have the pics.
Hey, sorry for the slow reply. Email me and we can discuss.
Make a grim reaper staff
Mr NoName like a scythe?
Azim Was Here yeah I just forgot the name at the time
just a nitpick, but it looks more like a bit short spatha, which is a long (can be long as european arming sword) gladius. But it's only my opinion
I'm no expert, could certainly be closer to a spatha. Thanks.
Can I buy 2?
Son bellisimos
So you made a Roman Sparta and a Greek Xiphos (leaf shaped sword
Solo le faltó usar el cañón de plasma😑 necesitamos un tutorial simple bro con las menores herramientas posibles pero bueno.
can i buy one
SLESSER 15 you should just build one, it's really satisfying. I'm just finishing up one that I've been making mostly with a $15 coping saw and a hand plane.
wooden viking sword please!! :D
I wont pay this..
How much??
a Wooden gladius is basically a Rudis, isn't it?

A rudis was a ceremonial/symbolic sword, made out of wood, and given to a gladiator once he had fought long enough to earn his freedom. But they looked the same besides metal vs. wood.

One time can u try to build an bow?
I'd love to make a recurve someday, so hopefully so.
Could I have the sord
intresting, I'm 16 and I've got no power tools yet it doesn't take me all that long to make my wooden Swords.
That's great man, keep on making them. Different methods, but all fun.
do you actually beat, on anything, with your wooden specimens, any fema or anything, Or just nice wall hangers? that don't rust but might swell with moister...
No problems with swelling, but no, I don't use these for any actual sparring practice. You could, they'd last a while, but would probably build a bit different for contact. Thanks.
Oh and pls make a cutlass
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Gladius hispaniensis, espada española
A little long but corect shape
Would you sell a sword?
Yes, I hope to put some up on Etsy, though not sure when that will be. I can reply again though if I get some listed.
@@GeeksWoodShop yes I would be very interested in 2 of them.
#notificationsquad
I like that katana you like it's Awesome 🫀🫀😀😀🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks much!
How About We Change It Up And Make *A GLADIATOR AXE!!!*
Just no
you should make it out of iron wood
A wooden gladius, so it's a rudis
If you listen to it at 0.5 speed it sounds like you are drunk
yeah (:
Plz make a Japanese sword called a katana
I haven't started the video yet, but oh ya, I just finished a katana. ;)
but I made a wooden sword it's just that I need a sand belt
Just rub it against cement until it sands its self
You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.
Valorant Reaver Knife
Gladius hispaniensis.
