“Everything is sanding.” That sounds like it needs to be a new Punished Props shirt!
Haha! Right?!
“Don’t go too hog.” Also worth a shirt lol
Woodworker here, who's getting more into prop making with foam, plastics, etc.
Remember that wood is a natural product. It will expand and contract based on the humidity and temperature of its surroundings. Most woodworkers would recommend letting new lumber acclimate to your shop for a week or two depending on moisture content. Once you've let your wood dry, flattened it (jointer/planer/table saw) and then made your prop, you can stave off future warpage with some good coats of paint/sealer/etc.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
You can also, if you have the tools for it, laminate two boards together and plane them down to what you need.
@@darklordofsword Or you could wipe before you 💩.
It’s wonderful to see people with so much talent use it to try help teach others. Punished Props has given me so much. Thank you and keep up the good work.
You're welcome! Happy to share. =)
Bill and Britt, congrats on making it 2 days glitter-free! :-)
Ha! Thanks so much!
The blade on this look soooooo much better than foam swords. Doesn't have that chunkiness that makes most cosplay swords look so blatantly fake. Also loving the pitted effect. Might have to use that technique myself on some of my own props.
I love adding texture to props!
@@punishedprops Hell yeah, texture can sell soooo much more than paint alone.
Check out our shop for tutorial books and utility knives! www.punishedprops.com/shop/
I did the rings on a wood sword awhile ago, I found that wrapping string or yarn repeatedly around the handle made it more comfortable to hold but still gave great results after it was wrapped in leather!
U guys should look into the brute weapons in halo infinite that'd be cool to see u guys build
Peter is very modest. I have one of his original arming swords from the early 90's.
Woah coool!
Amazing build as always! Nothing astounding me more than a paint job bringing it all together! *clap clap*
Thanks! I had a ton of fun painting this one.
Fun thing for a sort of worn metal look, or right iron, is to use flex seal spray, it's one of my favorites, it's fairly thick, and bubbles sometimes, and just leaves this rought iron look that's ✨amazing✨
Ooooh great tip, thank you for sharing! =D
I'm actually working on mod'ing a toy sword for an anime cosplay. I am wishing I had just built it from scratch after getting it and watching this.
I probably would have tried to do the hollow grind, which is why I likely would have failed.
Love the Ghostbuster mash up.
I feel like I need to own a proper linisher before I attempt hollow grinds on a sword. Then I'll need a lot of practice.
I always enjoy how calm and pleasant these videos are, and even more when tiny plane is taken out of it's case ^__^
I'm glad wee can provide some maker zen for you. =D
I would like to take a moment to acknowledge how hilarious Brit's behind-the-camera commentary is throughout this whole video (and in general).
Awe, thank you!
Watching your videos on making wooden blades because I am trying to make a pair of daggers for my sister for a costume at the Renaissance Faire on the weekend of the 12th of August this year which is gonna be in Snohomish WA.
I tried making the core of the blades out of thing plywood and they are rigid, but the thin foam (like 1mm or so) I have on top to add some bulk wants to tear more than sand, so I'm looking into other ways to make the daggers, I was going to make them out of foam with wood cores for the blades, but I might just make them out of wood completely. Also, your painting tips and tricks have helped a lot as well as other techniques, I painted some boot knives for her costume, two foam flintlock pistols from Amazon, Steampunk Goggles and a winged helmet from Amazon, and they look great. So thank you and many of the other prop makers I watch (Odin Makes, Adam Savage's Tested and Try to Finish Something,) for those tips and tricks.
"Everything is sanding. Smoothing things down when making a prop. Everything is sanding. It'll help the paint grip."
Could make a song of it for sanding montages.
That would make a great Weird Al song.
This is why I use wood for all of my swords. It just looks so good. And boy do I have some tips for you guys to make it go a lot faster and easier on you if you want to hear them lol
Wood works so great for sword blades!
little tip: if you want to straigten your wood you can also glue two slaps on to eachother. And for extra orientation you can spray the sides you are gluing black, that way there is a straigt line all the way throu the inside.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
10:40 Sanding sealer is just some finish with a soap agent added to it. You don't need it really. Any primer or finish wil do the same, just make sure it's something that'll work with your later paint job of course. Thin coat, sand, repeat a couple of times.
What it does is a) make loose fibers stand up a little, making it easier to sand them away, and b) seal the rest of the fibers in, like any other primer does.
A French polish is build up like that. Thin coat of shellac/oil mixture, sand, repeat. That's how they did those super glossy finishes back in the day. Bonus points for the chatoyance or cat's eye effect.
Thanks for the extra info!
The tapering both from the center line and that creates the actual edges of a blade is just bevels, not a fuller. Fullers are the grooves cut down along the length of the blade, generally to reduce weight of the steel in places where it will not affect the strength of the blade, and quite often just for aesthetic purposes.
I wish the PBS would give Bill a show. He is like a new age Boss Ross for Makers.
That's a high compliment! Thank you! =D
@@punishedprops thank you for your content. I’ve learned so much from you.
I really like how that turned out, but I'm SHOCKED at how well the thorns turned out.. They are so convincing!
"Sticky Hands Doran", huh? That's a mobster name if I've ever heard one! LOL!
It totally is!
For doing something like this with foam, I think using Whatthe foam or however it's said could probably work to make a more rigid blade that is thinner than standard EVA foam. Odin Makes uses it for his blades quite often, it's stronger and more rigid than regular foam. And for the core use a graphite rod to keep it straight. Odin has made a lot of nice blades that look great and aren't all thick and chunky.
Just saying this because Odin has mentioned that some cons won't let certain prop materials inside, so foam is a safe way to ensure you can bring your prop in.
Oh yeah there's so many foam options now!
@@punishedprops Yeah, it's crazy in a good way.
Congrats on going 2 days without an incident with the "herpes of craft supplies"
Thanks, it's a constant struggle.
Great tips with this one. I have been wanting to do the sword of Griffendor and this will help me get that project finished.
That would be such a fun project!
Thank you!! I am looking to use this same method on my Dane Whitman Ebony Blade!! I love it!
Hard to believe it was wood once :-) Looks good!
Right?! Thanks! =)
Welcome!
Might try this on a couple of Witcher swords, come to think of it :-D
Absolutely love these videos -- I'm not a prop builder myself, but this certainly gives me inspiration and it's always an amazing journey to watch when a new upload pops up. Thank you so much for uploading these videos of your process and creation of wonderous art!!! :)
You’re very welcome! 😄
Omg i never noticed jabba the cut b4 thats amazing
Old Jabba gets the job done every time!
The frequency of uploads the last few months makes me so happy!
Wheee!
beautiful
Beautiful work!!
I too was manufactured in 1982!! Excellent vintage 🙌
Right on! =D
gad we see your more on youtube again love your builds .
Thanks!
That pitting technique is spectacular! Looks great
Thanks!
35:13 lol that's some serious overengineering, love it.
But you could have just used thin rope. That's what raisers on actual swords are typically made with.
Ah yes, rope would have been a lot easier! HA! =)
@@punishedprops Lol aye, its one of those "why the hell didn't I think of that" things lol.
A fuller is the groove or set of grooves.
The term you're looking for is the spine or medial ridge.
I enjoyed the Great British Bake off reference there. Being for Great Britain it's interesting what shows end up over there 😁
Hurraaaaay! It's one of our favorite shows! =D
6:28 Bevel, not fuller. A Fuller in this context is the so called "blood groove" (that isn't a blood groove btw) which lightens a sword much like an I- beam. Which the nazgul sword doesn't have.
That needs to be a NEW T-Shirt...Bill will Sand PAPER... LOL, Great Work.
HA! Thanks. =)
Beautiful build! Very great work and showing some techniques I never would have thought of on my own!
Thanks so much!
I dunno if you guys added more lighting or what, but the basement shop is looking GREAT in this video. Oh yeah, the sword too!
Thanks! =)
Bill: I think that is the blade mostly sworded
Best pun! 19:52
Heyooooo!
"2 DAYS GLITTER FREE" #goals
It's a constant struggle.
Fantastic
Most excellent!
To accentuate the pitting, try using a dremel to make little rounded cut-outs; then you can apply glue and paint over to lessen the texture of the dremel.
Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing!
I did this with the morgul blade but I used extra thin super glue on it to care the pitting and smooth out the grain. It worked so well! Made sure I did it outside with face protection though 🤣
Dayum! You, Sir, are a true artist! I bow to your creative and sanding skills! I would LOVE to work with you. 😍🗡
Thank you so much!
It looks amazing m8ty.
Thank you!
Love your chill dude! Like a prop Bob Ross! Great stuff!
Thanks so much!
Thank YOU for all these amazing videos and your crafting prowess!
You're welcome!
good job
This was really fun to watch. You make it look easy and I know it's not :)
Tip: When trying to wrap metal wire around something as tightly as possible, wrap the wire around the object in the OPPOSITE orientation that the wire coil was originally wound.
Oh interesting! Thanks for the heads up.
Me filing my nails while watching this: "everything is sanding"
You’re so right!
I _think_ he said "Frodo Baggins, Shire, Foam" - but in my head, he's saying "Frodo Baggins, Shire, Phone Home"
I Love it❤️ great work
Great things and people born in '82!
Hear hear!
I don't know if it would work well but many electrical suppliers sell really large heat shrink tube.
amazing!
That is Beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Brit needs a cat's paw glove for when you point things into the camera ^_^
HA! I like it. =)
DUDE THIS IS SO AWESOME!!
Bill, you should make a pair of Highlander Nunchucks.
Ha! What a fun idea! =)
Because you added pockets for texture it would've been fairly easy to paint it by using washes or contrast paint to get a more realistic effect where it's only collecting grit and grim in the pockets.
Right! I think I could have made the texture even deeper and it would have been even better.
If you have access to a controlled environment type of room then you can steam the board and clamp it flat(straight) then let it dry in the controlled room with high heat, no humidity. It's just as good as if the board was made straight.
Oh neat!
Me at the start of the video: I can't wait to make this blade!
Me, after realizing that I am a broke college student with no access to literally half of the machinery or materials: I can't wait to watch him make this blade!
Might I suggest heat shrink tubing for the handle? Comes in quite large width if required.
Oh snap, I didn't even consider getting heat shrink that large! Thanks for the idea.
Lord of the Ring, as amazing props. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
This reminds me that I need to finish my Witch King of Angmar costume. I have the helmet, mace, and sword all 3d printed. Just need to finish those and make the gauntlets and cloth parts.
Oh that’s gonna be a fun one to wear!
@@punishedprops the helmet is so pointy
Man, that video had more false endings than The Return of the King.
"No man can sand me." 😀
Haha!
When u use superglue dont add hardner just drops some sawdust on it so u get nice finish
Ooh great tip!
You're not a sword maker so I can understand mixing up terminology. It's not really a fuller and more of a central ridge, fullers tend to be added to remove material in order to make a blade lighter, they are sometimes referred to as a blood groove.
I'm not a sword maker either lol, I'm just a blade enthusiast is all.
Bill could you do a pair of Vi's gauntlets from Arcane? If you've haven't seen it, it's an absolutely incredible League of Legends story on Netflix that was incredible. Highly recommend and you will want to make something from it when your done. Love the videos. Thanks for the entertainment!
I’ll have to check out the show, I’ve been hearing a lot of good things.
Am I the only one who's jaw dropped at 25:29
Why, cause I'm so old, or so young? HA! =)
I think we saw that down draft table in the home depot vacuum form episode...
Oh yeah it’s very similar to a vacuum former platten.
I'm the filter opening I though those Allen wrenches we hotdogs. Yikes 🤣😂🤣
Could have gone into a sanding montage, with the song "Mister Sandman" playing overtop. But then you'd likely get a strike for copywritten music.
True, but that’s still a fabulous idea.
Speaking of Adam Savage. Are you still part of the Tested Team? I only saw you do a couple of things with them after it was announced and it was I a couple of years ago I think. Did the pandemic make you have to drop out from the team?
I'm still part of the team, I just haven't been able to fly to SF during the pandemic. I just filmed a little something for them yesterday though, so look forward to that.
@@punishedprops Glad to hear your still part of Tested. I will indeed look forward to the new vid you just filmed. As well as hopefully many more projects in the future.
That... is a great sword!
Thanks!
Cool
Please do more old school techniques 🙏
Is there a list of the people doing the prop tarts secret Santa. And are you doing a video review of what you are getting from your secret Santa?
Glad to see you guys back at it. I too aspire to do a more reasonable qty of projects with a greater level of detail one day. 😆
Thanks for watching. =D
Some real swords are intentionally made flexible so they don't get stuck inside anything.
That makes sense.
I just want to make a bunch of these, but I know I'll be constantly tempted to mess around with them.
That sounds like a lot of fun!
Would automotive rubber O rings work also instead of aluminium rings??
4:10 Those "lumps" on the grip are call raisers.
Thanks for the heads up!
@@punishedprops NP, I'm a pretty big sword geek lol. Well... Medieval arms and armour geek really.
Well done as always however I would recommend not using poplar. It is light yes, but easily damaged and get it wet…….😬
Based on color alone, "Jabba the Cut" could be rebranded "Mando the Bando" pretty easily.
HAHAA! That's an INCREDIBLE name!
@@punishedprops glad you like it. Jabba the Cut is a great name too
Exquisite
Thanks!
I Love your Videos they are so well made!^^
Thank you so much!
Nut jobs R us, I love it! will have a go @ this. TFS, GB :)
Happy crafting!
Do you guess do commisions?
Lol that ending. So corny, so so good though
Haha! We had a ton of fun shooting that. =D
@punishedprops Would it be possible to make this out of foam so is con safe? Any reference to a foam one would be helpful.
This looks like the perfect costume to combat Covid, Bill. You're masked up. Got a sword. What more do you need?
I bet wearing that in costume in public would keep people at least 6 feet away from me too.
@@punishedprops Lol
Damn! Considering how much sanding and shaping goes into this, I think I'd rather just use some epoxy clay for the cross guard and plastic sheet for the blade. I don't have the patience to sand that much!
It could be cool if you made butterfly-sword from dishonored. Maybe in wood
I love Dishonored!
