There's no logical reason other than fun to do this today. It took him a week to shape the sword alone. With today's technology you can manufacture the entire thing within a day using proper machines and computers. The skill he has is impressive but it's a talent no longer needed.
the fact you made a beautiful blade with hand tools and no fancy workshop makes this sword even more special. Beautiful workmanship, elegantly simple and a timeless design.
piece of rebar, pit in the ground for a furnace, anvil made from structural beams. this guy's resourcefulness is unmatched beautiful sword too, the ones made by hand by these youtubers are arguably better quality than the factory made reproductions like what I have.
very pretty. but issues are as follows 1. rebar is not harden able steel 2. clay coating is not to prevent carbon loss its to provide a differential heat treat to the edge and core of the blade giving strength to the edge and flexibility to the core. 3. tempering is not to harden the blade it is to pull hardness out of the blade in a controlled manner to give flexibility and prevent snapping. 4. while convenient a burn through on the handle material leaves gapping (caused by the burnt material) and embrittles the wood leading to possible cracking. 5. not a negative cudos on the guard and pummel they are gorgeous. all in all you made a beautiful piece and i hope you don't take anything i have said as anything other than constructive criticism. i love seeing people make blades keep at it.😊
1-Not all rebar is made out of iron alone, there are: Carbon Steel Rebars Stainless Steel Rebars European Rebars Epoxy-Coated Rebars Welded Wire Fabric Galvanized Rebars Sheet-Metal Reinforcing Bars Expanded Metal or Wire Mesh Rebars Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (GFRP) Rebars 2- clay coating can prevent carbon content loss if you repeateadly bring steel to certain temperature, for this reason stainless steel foil is used nowadays. 3 - as the other 2 items above I think its a matter of English not being is native tongue. 4 - This depends on the wood, and its water content. This technique has been used for centuries without problems in western and eastern civilizations. Cheers!
well said. thats what i also thought. he had so much good qualtity and high carbon steal and choosed mild steal. all the work for a wallhanger. its not useable. why would you heat treat your longsword with clay and heat treated it even wrong. long swords were tempered after heat treating, so they become very flexible and for a good reason. the flexibilty prevents the force of impact travels through the sword straight in to your wrists. if you ever hit and hard object with a baseball bat you know what i mean. even if you did the coating right you would just made the sword stiff.
@@marcosvilardi2085 You can tell the quality of it at the 0:30 mark because the sparks are very dull. A decent high quality steel would be much brighter and throwing more sparks.
I Applaud you Sir! The WORLD IS Missing MORE Folks like YOURSELF and EVERYONE WHO WORKS AN ACTUAL "TRADE" (BUILDING SOMETHING FROM NOTHING WITH YOUR HANDS) That BENEFITS SOCIETY!!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!!!
I'm impressed. I was under the impression that rebar was always a milder steel. I have a friend who is forging a blade out of rebar. Since we were using my forge, I gave him the two-handed sledge hammer and I got to hold the steel. It still took us 2 days.
I've been hammering out knives for more than 20 years - regular rebar is soft, usually a mixture of lesser steels, it generally won't temper, will not hold an edge and rusts at the drop of a hat. This gentleman did a fantastic job hammering out a sword blade, beautiful work! Doing it the hard way too 👍 f yeah. Much better than i could do!!! That high polish is downright snazzy. 👌 ( If you want a real beast, forge one out of one of those coil springs! Talk about tough(!), some of my favorite blade steel but it is hard stuff. It holds a great edge, will take a good bend and spring right back but hammering out a sword will take a lot longer - when you start hammering it just looks at you, it moves slow until you flatten it out some, but man it makes a rugged, sharp blade!
Yes you had to use a sledge as you didn't use the power of the video jump cut. With jump cuts you can achieve perfect thickness with a small hammer and crowned rail track, with jump cuts you can hollow grind the blade and apply a scalloped grind patina to the tang covering up the very much perfect face finish, you achieve after 2 days tapping on the rail anvil. My fakedar was ringing loud from the opening scene and got so loud I had to stop watching in honor of those blacksmiths that present nose to tail videos without massive progress jump cuts.
honestly this is one of the few clickbait restoration channels where i really admire the work. this is good. it sings, the proportions are pretty good, its sharp and looks beautiful. great job. genuinely nothing wrong with this.
It's going to be a nice wall decoration, eventually useful in case of burglar, but since rebar are not high carbon hardenable steel, one or two on something hard, and bye bye edge ^^
Unbelievable! This is the definition of making do with what you have! I had my doubts when you started to forge but I stand corrected. What you accomplished with the tools you used is unreal. Well done 👏
Not only is this piece of craft / art perfect. The video is so well made, that you can almost touch the artwork. Actually you could make one, if you dared to, just out of this video. Thank You!
I really appreciate how you showed how to forge the pommel and cross guard your video has shed light on so many questions about forging those 2 items What really appreciate is that you showed how long some of those steps took to negotiate those task .Very beautiful craftsmanship the mirror finish you put on that blade and how you did it by hand sanding is admirable Thank you for sharing your video it really helps me out a lot.
I am in awe, this is just beautiful, all in your backyard with not too much fancy equipment just a simple forgery, but created such a majestic piece i love it
Honestly I love that you and other guys are doing this. Making stuff out of old metals etc. Literally if you didnt recycle these theyd just be left to sit there. Props brother!
Thanks for obscuring the comparison at the end of the video with a bunch of end cards, that really helped me see what happened to the chainmail and the sword.
Very beautiful! Heads up, the handle of a sword is traditionally less of a perfect cylinder, more oval in cross section, for ease of grip and control of the sword. Super cool sword though, major chops!
i think this is very beautiful. i also enjoy, the semi primative proccess. i've seen the forging or making of much more complicated looking blades, but i honestly prefer this one. it's simplicity makes it beautiful
It's not a matter of grip. The reason a swords handle is oblong shaped is so you get more effectively align the blade with your cut. A round handle offers no tactile feedback on where the blade edge is facing.
@@FinalFantasyIXIIII I know, I worded that poorly. What I meant was that good grip helps with controlling the spinning, so you'll have atleast a chance of having the blade somewhat aligned.
A forge for dummies! You make it look so easy. I do want to create my own sword one day. Thanks for the vid. It’s actually a very nice piece. I bet you been doing this for a while.
Un trabajo increíble!! He estado pensando en hacer un espada, en mi caso solo como adorno ya que no tengo tanto conocimiento del oficio de herrería, y por falta tiempo no podría trabajarla para darle tanto nivel de detalle , pero ahora me entra la duda, y justo tengo una viga de hierro de ese exacto grosor 😋😋

Armature cannot be hardened. Because hardenable reinforcement cannot be welded. Who needs fragile places in rebar?
Hello from Russia
p.s
Try to make it from a spring, torsion bar or a powerful spring (for example, from a railway carriage). Just do not forget to release after hardening - it can burst)))
In theory, the pommel balances the blade. Therefore, it should not be made of light metal)))
Pastor please pray for the release of curses and magic. Please pray to facilitate the brain and be given intelligence. Please pray to get rid of the disease in the body. Please pray for smooth finances and be given wealth.
Hmm the handle is round. That is a problem. It makes difficult to keep the blade aligned with the direction of the cut.
I think trades should make a comeback. This is so cool. Blacksmithing, welding, and carpentry are really cool trades.
Blacksmithing is easier when you have friends. There's no reason one person should be forging a sword this large on their own.
you'd like Eoin Reardon then,
as long as corporations keep merging they won't.
There's no logical reason other than fun to do this today. It took him a week to shape the sword alone. With today's technology you can manufacture the entire thing within a day using proper machines and computers. The skill he has is impressive but it's a talent no longer needed.

Rebar is actually soft, you can see how fast its moving.

love how strongly this feels of indie forgework. no power hammer, no fancy tongs, just a guy with a hole in the ground, an iron brick, and a hammer.

not for modern standards, but it would be a good analogue for some historical swords in terms of performance.
