Correction: Gandalf was only the second owner of this blade. Even into the Third Age, the Orcs of the Misty Mountains knew the legend of this blade, naming it Beater, and they fled before it. It's mate was Orcrist, mayhaps borne by Ecthelion and used in his feared charge from the walls of Gondolin. But Glamdring was of higher honor, for it was the sword of King Turgon himself: lord of Gondolin, last of the hidden kingdoms. The inscription reads, in the runes of Gondolin: Turgon aran Gondolin tortha gar a matha i vegil Glamdring, gûd daedheloth, dam an Glamhoth. "Turgon king of Gondolin, holds, has and wields the sword Glamdring, foe of dread, hammer of the Orc-horde". Like Sting and Orcrist, Glamdring was forged with forgotten skill and could detect the presence of evil that it's wielder might never be ambushed.
What do you think could Forge Glamdring, Sting and Orcrist? I think it could be Maeglin since in Silmarillion there was a fragment when he found in mountains some special iron and then weapon of Gondolindrians(?) was much sharper and powerful
And in comes @Sophie Jones outta left field like Stephen Colbert! Droppin Tolkien knowledge likes it's nineteen-thirty something! I love my fellow nerds. :) For real. This isn't sarcastic.

It's cool to see some new faces on the forge. Like many sword fans, this sword has a special place in my heart. Turgon is one of a kind, just like Gandalf. It turned out gorgeous.
Not THE most badass. Although Fëanor is on that list, fighting against I believe 7 balrogs before he died, Fingolfin is #1. He duelled against Morgoth himself and actually wounded him, before being killed
@@morgothbauglir8687 Of course, Fingolfin is the fuckin owner of the Elves, the most noble king of the Noldor.

@@blaz3r77 Totally true, but it still hurts when seeing such a beautiful sword, bashing in a steel plate. (I know what swords have to withstand in battle etc., but it still hurts)
LMAO that joke at the beginning was awesome this sword looked amazing in the films but seeing it made and some of the finer details is also really cool 😈
Same here brother! I've been suggesting it so many times under their videos, starting when I first discovered them 3 or 4 years ago when they were still on men at arms reforged. FINALLY!!!
It is always interesting to see some of the Russian craftsmen working. They have a very unique style and make do with whatever they have on hand, while still achieving a very spectacular result... It really shows that fancy tools are not always a necessity, but that it is rather down to the skill of the actual craftsman. Well Built !!
I would love to see Vergil’s Yamato from DMC5. The DMC5 version has a lot of intricate details compared to the versions from the previous games, including a really intense hamon that I would love to see made into a real piece.
But why though...? They have tools, these tools also help them to refine and make the very best possible piece. This is important. Simply because the lord of rings lore, really paints these weapons as being famously untarnished.
You should hire a protege. Around 20/25 that's mostly skilled in camera work and editing but you guys make training and educational videos of him/her learning from the best and improving with every video just as we viewers are learning as well. That way in a year or two he/she can handle the fan inspired swords/weapons when you have time constraint issues.
Can you make a video on more and less common smithing mistakes that can lead to eg. blades breaking or chipping? Also a video on the ins and outs of heat treating and tempering and why it is so important would for sure be interesting.
Wow it's actually pretty cool to see so much of the shaping of the blade done on the power hammer. I like how he used the angled bottom die at the end there 👍
if this was 1 hour long, id still watch it. no, ill definitely watch it, 14 mins is what ill think twice about. maybe its just me, i dunno, i love this kind of videos.
The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings were my favorite books to read. The movies were even better. I have Gandalf tattooed on my arm. I got the nickname 'wizard' as I have many skills and seemed to show up out of the blue when my skills were needed, just like Gandalf did.
Serious question: I thought swords were never made out of stainless steel because you can't temper stainless? Is that not true? Cool build! Looks great!
yep, stainless is good for knives, but the very same proprieties that make it resistant to rust are the ones that make it non-flexible (and heavier, because of sword geometry). The crystalline structure of stainless alloys are so hard that it becomes brittle during quenching - another reason why the fuller has to be ground instead of drawn by forging, and why stainless is only good for ornamental wallhangers.
I've seen some new cookware out made of stainless where the nickel content has been replaced with titanium in the alloy mix. I am curious to see if that new stainless alloy would make stainless swords viable. In theory the titanium should make it less brittle.
@@MotherBiscuitLover Titanium is brittle as fuck though IIRC. It's why we don't see swords made of just titanium (that and it can be pretty dangerous at high temperatures from what I've seen). @OP They could be referring to something like the Chromium-Vanadium alloy steel used in many Albion swords. It's not fully stainless but it's tough as hell and at least moderately corrosion resistant depending on how finely polished it is. As I understand it the lower chromium content compared to conventional stainless allows the grain boundaries to be stronger and thus tempering the blade will have an effect as the process of tempering is used to manipulate the grain structure of the material to produce desirable behaviour under stress.
Beautifully done. I love to see your work, doubly so since splitting off from MaA. You guys and the skill you put into your craft is phenomenal! I had a recommendation once upon a time ago I would still be intrigued to see, and that would be the dragonslayer spear from the 1981 film of the same name. The head always had a strikingly unique profile in my opinion, not sure of the difficulty. Whatever content you put out, though, I will be ever glad to watch! Keep up the great work, I'll be rooting for you! :]
"They will be forging Glamdring" Ah, sweet! "They chose to use a stainless alloy" ...oh. Still a cool build, looks like great workmanship, but personally I'm not a fan of stainless even if Gandalf's sword was "eternally bright." Still gonna follow Bellerophon, cause their stuff looks fantastic. EDIT: wait, some of their videos are just Russian-dubbed ThatWorks videos?
One question; why do you dislike the stainless part? Just looks or is it because it's a pain to work with? Also; it's ThatWorks that has english-dubbed Bellerophon videos too :P I think it's a big case of "Cousin Illya, the westerners don't get our craftsmanship!".
@@lyravain6304 Most stainless steel are a mild steel. So that means it won't hold an edge and it will bend fairly easily. So this sword pretty as it is is essentially a glorified wall hanger
@@lyravain6304 Stainless just doesn't have the potential to perform as well as carbon steels, assuming both are heat treated properly. I know the videos have gone the other way too...it just feels weird. But if it helps people who speak another language watch the thing, I can't complain.
@@lyravain6304 Generally you either alloy a steel for the right amount of toughness, flexibility or hardness, or you go for corrosion resistance. You can do both somewhat but it's never going to be quite as good as a more appropriate carbon steel for sword use. Stainless is much easier to care for and it's great for kitchen items, even acidic foods won't corrode it easily, but a dedicated tool steel is almost always better for the kind of stresses a sword comes under. They did probably choose a better quality stainless alloy than the basic kind found on cheap Chinese knives and wallhangers, so it's likely not that bad of a decision.
Thanks to everyone for your replies. I kind of thought of stainless steel to be the 'epitome' of steel, so I am happy to learn something new! In the showcase, the sword showed very minor wear throughout, I think the metal plate left a minor scratch on it, but nothing too extreme. I doubt it's a sword that would see realistic use anyway (we're not waging wars medieval-style any more after all), so I suppose the sacrifice in quality in favor of looks is acceptable, this time.

If its just for show then you don't need to temper it because the blade won't be going though as much stress. It would also require less maintenance.

Bring your own sponsor is cool, still wanna see those beside the other parts of video fo a while...
But youtube still annoying with another ads that dont needed, and very agresive sucking data.
I left this awesome video unfinish.
Great job youtube...
