Awesome episode. I can't wait for the complete sword build.👍👍

Is it just me or did you absolutely nail those castings! They came out so clean man, nice work!

thats the part that got me. Most castings I've seen on youtube are so popped and barely keep the shape. He nailed it to where he didn't even have to go for a polished look and was able to have a neat cast finish.

Looking amazing!

У вас ПРЕКРАСНЫЙ канал, на котором ПРЕКРАСНЫЕ ВИДЕО!!!! Рад что вы можете посвятить себя своему любимому хобби!!!!!

that feeling, when sword blade was finally showed up and its looks awesome 🔥🔥

Really looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Very nicely done. I especially appreciate that you redid the sand after your first attempt because it wasn't right. Saved yourself a lot of time in the long run!

I don’t think the first “attempt” was meant to be part of the sand mold. I believe he just set the pieces in the sand to properly pack the first side and intended all along to properly pack the second side after the first side was established. It is a common approach when creating molds. But yes, he did a fine job.

The sword looks incredible and you casting keeps getting better. Thanks for the great video.

Dude, it's been great watching you over the years. It's been cool watching you learn and progress, like with the sand casting.

ogni volta che guardo un tuo video capisco perchè sono uno dei 2,29 milioni di iscritti. bravo barbanera!

Yes, me too we are left hanging like an old suspense show 😅

You're becoming slowly one of my favourite smithing youtuber. The attention to detail, the beauty of the projects... First the Wakizashi series and now this! I love your work. Keep it up!

It's always so amazing watching you create these from scratch. AWESOME video...as usual 😁👍💙

You could use jewellers carving wax to make the mold blanks for casting instead of wood. Then you can cast in plaster with lost wax method and have less finishing work on the castings.

Thank you for the video. If you raise a container of molten metal higher above the water, the result will be the formation of more rounded ingots

Legend has it that the mdf dust is still suspended in the shop 😂 Sculpting something in real life captures more the essence of your thoughs. Great as usual buddy

You definitely nailed the castings but brother that crucible is WAY beyond needing to be retired. Terrifying to watch 😂

You deliver amazing work and really enjoy watching your episodes. Keep up the good work!

Another brilliant video. Very well done!!

Impressive work. I applaud your skills and efforts.

Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤❤❤

Can't wait to see the finished product, looks good so far

Good job mister beautifully done

Always enjoy watching your videos, keep it up! Very nice work, inspiring!

Wicked work man!

Really enjoying this series :)

You really nailed that casting 👌 But you might seriously consider making a hoop for your crucible next time. Holding it with tongs like you did made me wince.

I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you.

Awesome work sir 😊

Thank you so much for this video!

Excellent content.

Nice,of course do not expect no less.good video.just continue doing what you do best and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎

bro that damascus finish is awesome :o

Beautiful👍

Looks sweet.

Awesome video sir six stars brother

A true craftsman. Kudos to you!

I have made the same job. After 3 times everything with the cast was ok.

Magneficent ser.

Formidabile ❤

In the footage around 18:20 onwards it looks like you hammered the side of the crossguard so that it bends into the fuller of the blade, effectively locking the guard onto the blade. I've never seen or heard of that, but it does make a lot of sense to me thinking about it! Do you know if this is a historical technique? I would have loved to see the process, so if you still have footage of it, maybe share it as a short? Looking forward to seeing the finished sword!!

The contrast between the bronze fittings and the blade is stunning. Beautiful work. Out of curiosity, how long is the grip? It looks a little on the long side for the average viking-age sword, but that could well be perspective.

Damn that's a sexy sword

Dude you meiking ameizing weponse ❤ sword, hammer, knaif ewrything you meiking is ameizing ❤ i like you're chanel and i enyoing wach that and you jained my respect do more and best worke I from Poland and I and my friends we wish you good luke ❤

職人技の公開動画ですね。 This is a public video of craftsmanship.

i like how you think young man

Where do you get jewelers carving wax?

When working with old pewter like that, do you check for lead content? Modern pewter is lead-free, but older pewter like you used here can be as much as 20% lead, which would change the percentages you're using in your bronze recipe... (It could make your bronze 8% tin and 5% lead...)

How many impurities is galvanized copper adding to the bronze?

What is the reason for the pommel being two pieces instead of one cast pommel???

Hey, what's that sieve? Where can I buy one? 12:06

Will you sell the final product? (Could be a great gift for my BFF)

Nice casting, but seriously that's a dangerous way to hold a crucible, make a pouring hoop, and a proper set of crucible tongs. Someone will copy you and get hurt.

Skill issue

Not a skill issue, a material science issue, hot crucibles are fragile, and a mechanics issue, applying leverage to the wrong place on the crucible.

@DaveBoatBuilder that isn't that fragile unless you're using a bigger one, but the way he's holding it can cause the tongs to slip and it to break on the floor

@DaveBoatBuilder also depends on what your crucible is even made of, like porcelain, platinum, PTFE, stainless steel, nickel, Carbon Steel, Zirconium and Vitreous Carbon. Then you have Carbide ones as well, then graphite one's

Everything you create is amazing. However, it’s strange that Italian bladesmiths don't make gladiuses.

The grip end… 🥟? Chinese🥟…👈 (👀 )? Is there something that has air holes at the end of the grip? It seems to be good for swinging down long objects. Is it just sports equipment? There are air holes It seems that if your grip strength is weak, the whole thing tends to bulge out.

Do you sell any knives?

I love the design but you should of etched the snake!

Hai la mia stessa bilancia. Io però ci peso la pasta 😂

due parole in italiano per noi poveri follower nostrani?

good part of this pomel design is you dont' have to unscrew it to end your opponent rightly.
