    or, potentially, the "3 inch" part is the width of the wheels. not their diameter. since having a wheel that is wider, or thinner than the belt would be bad. the diameter of wheels can be what ever he wants them to be. but the width has to always match the drive wheel. which is likely also supporting the guide plates that make sure the belt doesn't go slipping off the wheels. the wheel that's also doing the grinding would also loose effectiveness if it were wider than the belt itself.

    aluminum is a softer metal so it gets dings and nicks from transport and handling a lot quicker. Could also get bent easier. Steel and aluminium both oxidize so they would both need some sort of coating (clear coat/oil) and the cool factor of steel over aluminium.

    He's making it to go with his comic con armor that was made of aluminum. Aluminum has a slightly different color to steel so if he had a steel sword with his aluminum armor you'd notice the color change. Also aluminum was the material used in the film's armor and swords so as he's making a prop and not a weapon that needs to be taken into account for accuracy.

    I think we all enjoy watching Adam work because he seems to genuinely enjoy all the stuff he is doing...it would be really hard to fake his enthusiasm ... plus ... like this build ... he built his own fu#$ing grinder just-for-swords! Who else does that? I mean there are swordsmiths who would have apparently made their own, or makers building stuff, hobbyists of all kinds ... but he builds his own shit for so many things...not just swords. WOW He's a very interesting person to watch. I wonder what he's really like...you know...like around the breakfast table or something?

    I love the focus in Adam's eyes. It's been a long time since I was a model maker, almost 20 years ago in college. I remember that look of focus where the minutes turn into hours and you don't remember what time it is or who you are. You are the piece that you're working on. The piece is everything. Rapid prototyping and model making is an incredibly intense and rewarding process. I've always loved his work. However, leave off the gloves. If that glove catches, that's how you lose a hand. If you need a glove to keep from being hurt, stick with hand tools. If you catch a finger on the belt, it hurts but it will heal. If the glove catches, it will pull the whole hand through. I know that Adam is experienced and knows how to be careful, but people watching might not be. I do use gloves when grinding, but I accept the risk and am very careful. I've been snagged by a belt before and almost lost a finger on a lathe due to keeping my wedding band on. Never again. Bare hands, rolled sleeves, shirt tucked in, respirator on, eyes on, careful. Again, skin will heal, a whole hand does not come back.

I totally agree with how awesome it is to polish brass. There is just something about brass that makes it shine brighter and hold a polish better than other metals! I also liked using brass with silver in jewelry projects when I was in college for metals and jewelry as they look nice together.

    It isn't clear. The Arthurian legends have been passed down and mixed and adjusted over many centuries and thus different translations have changed meanings. From my research, the sword in the stone is the same as the one from the lake. The sword Caliburn was pulled from the stone by Arthur (some sources say the sword was Merlins' failed attempt to forge a sword) Then it was stolen by a blacksmith, who split the greatsword into two single edge swords. Merlin found the pieces some time later and reforged it into a single sword; Excalibur, quenching and leaving it in the lake for the king to find. However, he could only find it if he cleared his mind and made peace with nature.

    I'm no expert, but it has the shape, taper and size of a steel sword, but is made out of aluminium. Aluminium is lighter than steel so the balance may be too far back to the handle, and light, hence limiting chopping power. Good for handling, though.
