This is amazing - I used this guide to make my first sword yesterday! I think this is the start of a great hobby... When you said you made it for your daughter, my thought was "this is a good dad skill and I need it so I'm ready"

I work with wood at my job, on my free time I used junk 1x4's and made makeshift little swords. I wanted to know how to do it better! Edit: I made them for my two daughters, they are much like me when I was a kid :D

My grandpa made me a lot of wooden swords when I was younger. I still sometimes make swords with him, not to play with them, but to put them to display.

Now THAT...... is a damn pretty sword. Loving your content.

I don’t have a great belt sander. Just a little disc/belt combination. But what I do have is planes. Thinking I can do the fuller with finger planes. Start the blade bevels on the band saw and finish with a block or jack plane. Should really cut down on the dust too.

I think you should open your own wood working business

Hi! I was starting to make a couple of these and was not sure about the right wood to use. How thick was the blade? And, about the wood, I was oriented on using beech, but I saw that spruce hardwood is cheaper. Is it too soft and should I go on beech or is spruce still ok for the job?

@TheArtofCraftsmanship

Ай бұрын

I would suggest using a hard wood, for added durability. They can be made from soft woods, but they will dent and possible break easier. I start with 3/4” thick staves.

Hello from Denmark. Wonderful video and sword 😊 But what is the spray you use with the glue?

@TheArtofCraftsmanship

Ай бұрын

It’s an accelerator that makes the glue dry nearly instantly. This typically comes with CA glue when you buy it.

9 ай бұрын

Sure. You could do it that way too.

Hell Yeah

How did you determine the thickness of the blade as you came to the point on the end

@TheArtofCraftsmanship

Ай бұрын

I grind the blade to the blade profile shape, then grind the bevels toward the edge line, drawn down the center of the edges, and match that with grinding down to the center line on the flat. When get toward the point it’ll naturally start to thin the blade, but you may need to redraw the center line on the flats, or eyeball a straight spine. Hope that explains it.

Have you compared the balance with a real sword with similar dimensions? Is it more on the blade heavy side or hilt heavy side?

I have not, but I would assume it’s blade heavy, without a weighted pommel. 👍🏼

Thanks. I’m not sure what you’re suggesting. Are you saying put a coat of epoxy on the outside of the blade? That’s an idea, but then it gets more complicated than I want for this project. Remember, the goal is to be able to make it quick for fun, and if it breaks, you make another. That being said, there are loads of other things that could be done to add interest and longevity overall if someone is interested.
