@@mr.nightshade8465 you wouldnt lose much of it depending on how you sanded it down. maybe if it cost a 1000 dollars for the gold you would lose only 50 dollars in sanding. then selling it you could ask many thousands depending on how good it is. you always lose gold when making things out of it, thats just the way it is...........
There is nothing I could say that anyone else before me already hasn't...I have never been more amazed by something crafted like this! I've seen TONS of forging and casting videos...this tops them all!
I disagree. Forging a real katana from carbon steel with a separate hilt, is much more demanding in work hours and skill than casting the whole sword using copper alloys. It's the hypnotizing shine of the brass that makes you think that this is the most amazing work you've ever seen.
As a Machinist/Welder/Fabricator/Mechanical Engineer with 35 years of on the job, I must say, that is one of the most beautiful works of art that I have ever seen.
The machinist and mechanical ingineer in me is saying. It's pretty and all but it has zero functionality. It will not stay sharp. You can't use it for anything except a video.
Beautiful work of Art. Ignore the haters. This is truly a masterpiece and anyone that is a lover of sword making and culture whether it be the Japanese Katana would appreciate your work. 🙏
dont let youtube or anyone else try to tell you your work is forgettable. it is not. you are what i hope to achieve. this is inspiration for me and should be for all of us. to create and not destroy. but this goes beyond creating, it is giving life its purpose. thank you so much for uploading.
That is absolutely that most beautiful Katana that I have ever seen and to watch it get created by you was a gift to us viewers. Thank you and well done sir. 👍
Beautiful. Only change I would do is to wrap the handle in the traditional Japanese katana way. Something in black and highlighted with golden thread to compliment the blade.
That is the most amazing sword that I have ever seen and ive seen a lot of swords in my life. That sword should be in a museum that's how beautiful it is. If I had the money I would pay $10,000 for that work of art.
sometimes a project is just that a project but then all of a sudden we start a project and it becomes a part of us it comes not from our skill or our hands but from our very soul we can't explain it it just happens, breath taken beautyfull
You've hit the bull's-eye! You have described exactly my story related to this project. This project was not originally conceived as you see it, I wanted to do it as soon as possible, but since I am a perfectionist by nature, I usually do my work either very beautifully and efficiently, or not at all. so I decided to do it as ideally as possible, and spare no time and effort. Thanks!
Ah, this brought back some memories. A few tips I can remember from Patternmaking trade school: Instead of just dumping the sand in on top of the pattern, sieve a fine layer of your sand in first, then top it off and pack. You can make it easier to pour the metal by scooping out a funnel shape in the sand around the top of the tube that forms the infeed before removing it. Interesting to see you form that after the sand is placed. We used to place the (tapered) tube first and pack the sand around it. Traditionally pattern makers would have a metal rod with screw thread in one end, when the box is split, they'd screw this into the pattern at about the center of the pattern, and then wrap it gently in a few different directions with a hammer, so that the pattern would come out of the sand without getting the breakaway at the edges. If it was a high volume part, they'd install a metal plate with a hole for this purpose in the pattern to take the wear and tear. Our 'boxes' were made of metal, functionally the same, though I note that the grooves in your wooden box to help hold the sand are very small compared to what was in ours, from memory, and they were a little deeper. You'd also cover the entire area around the pattern with plumbago, so that the mold would lift off the base board easily, then closing off the mold box wasn't necessary, the sand would stay in place by itself, which makes it very easy to break the casting out later. The way they applied plumbago was from some kind of porous linen bag, tapping it by hand dusted a wide area at once.
always enjoy watching people create something from nothing. as a carpenter myself, seeing something built right in front of you from pieces of wood always makes my customers smile, and of course, being paid when the work is finished means i have done a good job
At first I was ignorant and thought the wood was too thick, with out thinking of the casting needing to be finished after. The amount of effort you put in really shows, very fine finishing work and excellent finish! Really neat project!
Meravigliosa, la più bella e preziosa creazione che abbia mai visto . La Katana in acciaio temperato battuto e ribattuto giapponese è una lama costosissima e pregiata sia per la sua inossidabilita' e per la sua durezza ma una katana in oro 24k è qualcosa di unico quanti kg è?
I almost forgot to press the like button because I was so mesmerized by this beautiful gold katana. I always imagined something like this being done, So pleased to see someone made it happen! This is a museum quality. Beautiful job well done
Guess no one to school and learned about the bronze age and how they made weapons before the industrial age and how strong brass bronze can really be. This is exquisite.
@@docdee770 again, the value would decrease, because the sword wouldnt be solid, and it eventually break even by just being in a wall, No gold is Pure, because it is a slimy metal, we mix it with other metals do it stays solid.
that’s an amazing display of skill! next level! I am curious why you chose to model the entire thing, rather than just the blade, and use standard fittings for the tsuba and habaki?
Thanks! This sword was originally conceived as an imitation of the "golden katana". UA-cam is already full of classic Katana swords, for originality, I decided to make this famous sword unusual, unique and not like most. The sword has a unique handle design, this is my authorship.
This is a Masterpiece.. without a doubt one of the must beautiful Katana I've ever seen.. true it's not the weapon.. It's more like a piece of jewelry.. I congratulate you on your fine work.. and wish you all the best..
What a beautiful piece! Was it really a twelve month timeline? That's a huge time investment, but the end result is gorgeous! Well done! PS: Probably wouldn't cut through a turd, but I'm guessing it wasn't built to cut but more to display. I absolutely love it! 👍😎
Thanks! Yes, it's true, this sword was made for 12 months. a lot of time was spent filming, preparing, bad moments, etc. most of the work was done behind the scenes. the filming process and work on the sword all together took 12 months. This is not a combat sword, this is a souvenir, a decorative element of the interior, for a connoisseur of beautiful exclusive pieces. Forging a sword is no longer popular on UA-cam, about this millions of videos, and I decided to do something unusual and unique.
Yes, unique (and artful). For my next sword, I'll use a railroad rail and cut out, and shape, some katanas. Would they need heat treatment? This should make a great UA-cam video, yes?
That's a status symbol if I have ever seen one, but the back and forth on the file was just painful to watch. that is a great way to dole out a file. I hope you kept all the gold shavings.
A beautiful piece of art. 👍👏👍 It’s hilarious to see so many ridiculous comments about the structural integrity of the blade when it is obvious that it is not a hardened steel forged blade but a replica katana for ornamental purpose, not combat.
Not concerned as to what it would sell for. First question is at this point in time how many man hours have been spent on this beautiful piece of art? My second question is that's it's listed as 3.2 kg brass, how is that possible with brass to Gold? My last question is how many oz of gold and it's purity was made to make this amazing art work? Thank you, what an amazing display of discipline.
Thanks! "Golden KATANA" is just the name of the sword, it looks like a golden one, an imitation of a golden sword and nothing more.. In order not to mislead people, I indicated "brass" in the title and description
looks so good, but i think it's only for the eye. the casting idea is nice. i will make one with copper - aluminum bronze, with a bit silicon and a liddle bit titanium. many thx for the idea. i will try it,
I commend you on this beautiful work of art this one video has made me follow you I look forward to your future projects, thank you for your contribution to the world.
Between making a weapon, a lethal Katana, I would much preferred a work of art. The bad karma is much less with work of art. It’s a beautiful piece of artwork.
The smelting process didn't appear to be the way Gold melts? Gold cool extremely quickly especially with delft clay versus heated up granite molds,, was it really Gold?
Sword parameters:
Blade length - 76.5 cm
Blade width - 35 mm
Blade thickness - 8 mm
Handle length - 28 cm
Guard diameter - 84 mm
Guard thickness - 6.1 mm
Overall length - 105 cm
Weight - 3.2 kg
Metal: Brass
How much did you sell it for!?
@@LewisRhymes The sword has not yet been sold.
Need to eliminate minor flaws, and then open with a protective varnish.
Now do it with real gold
@@luistejada7142 there would be a lot of gold wasted due to all that sanding it wouldn’t be worth it to make it out of real gold.

It is more of a decorative element of the interior.
it is a souvenir and not a weapon.

@@kevmon4273 it's the dude's passion, its art.

I want to say beautiful work but that's such an understatement. If it was possible to make anything perfect you came the closest anyone could.

the edges had to be hammered cold forge work hardening if you want that to hold a viable rigid blade.
