    This is why I love youtube. No matter how niche you think something is, there is always a community.

    everything about this video is so awesome and turns out so well, I wish I could crank out a sword this easy, when I make a sword everything that can go wrong does go wrong

    • @MitchelJacobsen

      Thank you! This did go well but it's a result of years of practice and a lot of failure that came before this.

    Idk why but I can't get enough of this video. It's so calming. I have it in my bookmarks and watch it when I'm taking a break from my studies. The blade is so amazing.

    WOOOOW, THAT IS THE REAL SWORSDMITH! A lot of forgers use some modern technologies, but you use the real forge!

    This was AMAZING!!! I have watched like every sword making video on UA-cam yet have somehow never come across this video. Odd😒 SO glad I did! I am not kidding when I say you are the most AWESOME guy on UA-cam. Very very talented. Thx so much for sharing. Btw I would LOVE to buy one of your swords😆 I would gladly pay $500 for the sword and scabbard in the video🤑

    Hello from 2020. One of the better done swordsmithing videos on YT I have seen. Music, editing and b rolls are cool but I liked the commentary, highlighting of improvement areas and the woodworking/leatherworking.
    I also like your method of going from bar stock and hammering this simple taper. Ive watched folks use auto-hammers and damascus which is a bit intimidating from a cost standpoint but this turned out awesome.
    Also +1 for the "chicken fried chicken" tempering job.

  • @rubenragno835

    one of the best sword-making videos in youtube in my opinion. simple and well documented. it was a pleasure to watch it. Thanks!

  • @darkwaterdovah1931
    @darkwaterdovah1931 7 років тому +1

    Nicely done. I especially like how you should the fit and finishing process of the hilt because a lot of sword smithing videos I have watched, that process is completely skipped over in the documentation. So that was cool not to mention the fact that the longsword is my favorite sword in the history of blades. So you passed the project with "fiery" colors.

    Thanks for making this video. I've been considering investing in the equipment I'd need to get started in blacksmithing for a few months now and your video has given me the inspiration I needed to take the dive and go for it. The world needs more craftsmen like you and I hope someday to reach your level of skill. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work :)

    But how am i supposed to unshrew the pommel in order to smite my opponent by throwing it on him...
    (Just joking, awsome work mon!)

    • @sherrattpemberton6089
      @sherrattpemberton6089 6 років тому +9

      One should always carry around a spare pommel. Then he can smite his opponent rightly, without loosing the function of his sword

    wonderful work with a hammer. looks great. loved how you forged the profile taper from the middle of the blade to the tip lol, haven't seen anybody besides you do that successfully. you make it look as easy as building legos. ive been doing forging for a while, and, while im not anywhere near as good with a hammer as you are, id love to make a sword. it's just a matter of having the proper artistic inspiration to do it.

    Beautiful piece. If you forged a distal taper to the blade, you could achieve the same balance without such a large pommel.
