16:10 if anyone is actually curious about this, this cut pattern wasn't caused by the arc of the swing going from low to high. it's because the handle end was higher than the tip, so he should be rotating the cut cans so the low point on all of them is facing the camera to see the path and angle of the blade properly.
blacksmith here, if anyone was interested, one of the reasons the blade snapped, was due to quenching in water. 1084 is an oil quenching steel, and since water cools the steel significantly faster than oil, this makes the post-quench grain structure much smaller and the steel becomes more brittle. the rapid and inconsistant shrinking of the steel also likely introduced microfractures which certainly won't have helped.

Nah I think this was thought out well. If they just picked a channel who makes replicas I guess that will catch some eyes but this guy, this guy is entertaining as fuck, definitely getting more attention by sponsoring this guy.

13:06 thank you for the conversion of units, i got a bit lost and was preparing to open a new tab but you used the freedom units, God bless you son I pronounce you an honorary American
the reasons the 3 cans looked like they were cut weirdly is literally because the cans turned after the cut. if you rotate the cans so the barcodes match with how they originally faced, you'll see that the cuts all match up.
Did you see the video where he tied a machete to his ankle with a rope, and started spinning it really fucking stupidly fast while jumping over it. That was fucking terrifying
16:20 when he swung the sword, the cans tilted to the side, and he cleanly sliced through all 3 of them, resulting in a seemingly diagonal cut in all 3 of them
@Jonathanking88 nope....you're wrong lol. You can slow down the video and see the tip of the blade is closer to the table than the handle creating the diagonal cut and the cans moved slightly 90°. It's okay that you don't understand
@@Jonathanking88 I see what you’re saying, but the cans were lined up differently before he cut them. I was so confused at first until I noticed where the barcodes were before he cut and compared that to where they were when Alex lined them up after the cut.
The two older dudes are so funny. I love how they just laugh when he says he jumped in the pool with the sword rather than ask why the hell he did that.
8:06 Now, I'm no expert, but I think that's a swimming pool. This means it most likely contains chlorine. And, again I'm no expert but, that doesn't exactly seem ideal for quenching a blade.
A lot of people seem to be completely ignoring star rail in this video. It’s almost as if they have a deep and unexplained hatred for anime so when a person they like says they like anime they just decide to completely ignore it.
jumping into the pool with a red hot sword is ass clinching levels of stupid. i was terrified he was gonna brand himself. 10/10. that laser coloring is so cool

I think the cans are all angled up because as he slices the first one, it dominoes a little so that the next cans are also sitting slanted briefly, so the cut is still straight, but the cans were on their sides
He just rotated the cans by about 90° when he put them back together. He didn't have the sword level when he swung, the angle is because it was pointed slightly towards the floor.
I think the cans weren't sliced in the orientation that they thought. If you watch it in 4x slowmo, it looks like all the 'peaks' are towards the camera and the 'troughs' are away, the sword was just cutting at an angle and then they rotated all the cans and assumed that the dipping motion happened. Rotate the cans all 90 degrees and it makes way more sense.
This is a list of plants that I noticed in the video, cause I know that everyone is begging for some plant identification. -When Alex opens the door, on the wall behind the cops is a Platycerium super bum (Staghorn).

Comments like this are amazing. Thank you for this identification that no one asked for, but in the end was something cool i learned today. Also shows me how people look at videos and see different things. I bet very few people actually looked/care about the plants, but you do, and thats fantastic. Thank you sir!
At 16:05, the angle that the cans are cut is explained by the fact that the second two cans to the left must have tilted as soon as the first one was hit, so a straight strike through them led to the cuts appearing to be at an angle after the cans straightened themselves out
That's not what happened. the end of the blade was lower than the handle where he was holding it. the tip almost slid across the table but his hand was a couple inches above the table making the angle in the cans
Didn't expect a star rail sponsor here of all places, definitely a welcome surprise concidering i both play star rail and watch this channel. To answer how she can hold the blades, she's just canonically built different
No creative freedom or no desire to act on that freedom when the whole video is already you flexing that ad freedom lol. Either way tho yeah I laughed at how quickly he blitzed through reading some of that because he was probably like "Oh yeah I forgot I need to do the ad read too. Fuck."
Actually they do give you creative freedom to talk about it, but they also give you something to read off if you don't care enough or can't come up with a read off yourself around the guidelines
Gunswords actually exsisted in history, mostly back when guns had one shot and a slow reload. Unfortunately, such weapons performed worse as swords and pistols. Axe pistols were a bit better, as you could fit a longer barrel and use it two-handed more comfortably. Still, it was generally better to carry two weapons instead.
@@Nerdnumberone and along these lines, henry the 8th had a gun mace (which he'd take out at night and look for random people committing crimes, much like batman. we know this cus he was arrested a couple times, surprisingly the cops that arrested weren't killed because what the king was doing was technically illegal)
Like every idat video, entertaining jokes and genuinely interesting crafting from start to finish. There's a special charm about the homebrew version that gets slapped together in a garage, but it was also really cool to see Keith forge up a new one in record time. The coloring laser was fascinating and the sword itself turned out incredible, even the clashing shades of blue ended up looking like part of the design with the perfect placement of it. As a lucky Feixiao haver who was playing Star Rail when the video dropped, you did a pretty damn good job.
this is probably the best adverstisement/sponsor video i have ever seen holy shit. the fact it doesnt even beat around the bush within the first 10 sec is gold
@Finn-ev2lx cap guns are a steep ask. They contain an explosive device in those little red caps. If you ask the Australian government, they're classed the same as Semtex.
16:11 the inertia from the hit made the cans lean on their edges -- combined with his probably slightly upwards horizontal swing, it gives the illusion of cutting upwards on each can was cut diagonally upwards
Creative, but incorrect. Turn each can 90 degrees clockwise then the cuts all line up, high side towards the person swinging, low side away from the person swinging. Consider the person swinging was higher than the cans and the downward angle makes sense. This can be confirmed at 15:58 using the barcode as your reference point compared to the orientation of the cans at 16:16 You're welcome.
10:30 I don't know which is worse, the canisters of something flammable threatening to catch a stray spark if the grinder is turned 20 degrees or so, or the dog food bowl that is definitely catching all of the metal dust as-is.
Alexa cutting a hanging sardine first try like he was the goddamn descendant of Miyamoto Musashi. Incredible cool replica btw, gorgeous colors and shape!

There was also a Alcantarea imperilais rubra (Giant bromeliad) in the pool area.
Comments like this are amazing. Thank you for this identification that no one asked for, but in the end was something cool i learned today. Also shows me how people look at videos and see different things. I bet very few people actually looked/care about the plants, but you do, and thats fantastic. Thank you sir!
hell yea dude
Thats one of the most funiest intros I have ever seen 😂
Can we appreciate how he placed the forge outside, directly by vegetation on grass.
At 16:05, the angle that the cans are cut is explained by the fact that the second two cans to the left must have tilted as soon as the first one was hit, so a straight strike through them led to the cuts appearing to be at an angle after the cans straightened themselves out
Nice
Wow, simple physics has never made so much sense until you explained those simple physics in a comparatively long comment.
That's not what happened. the end of the blade was lower than the handle where he was holding it. the tip almost slid across the table but his hand was a couple inches above the table making the angle in the cans
@@QQnowQQlater yeah, two words would suffice: domino inertia
rotate all the cans 90 degrees and it will line up

Didn't expect a star rail sponsor here of all places, definitely a welcome surprise concidering i both play star rail and watch this channel.
To answer how she can hold the blades, she's just canonically built different
i pulled up this video while playing hsr was pleasantly surprised lmao
especially because she looks anemic like realistically her fucking arm would snap like a twig
6:58 you can tell they gave him no creative freedom for this
I was just about to say that
He so obviously has no interest in it
No creative freedom or no desire to act on that freedom when the whole video is already you flexing that ad freedom lol. Either way tho yeah I laughed at how quickly he blitzed through reading some of that because he was probably like "Oh yeah I forgot I need to do the ad read too. Fuck."
Actually they do give you creative freedom to talk about it, but they also give you something to read off if you don't care enough or can't come up with a read off yourself around the guidelines
Well they did let him get stripper cops to arrest him while laughing
tbh i’m so for this like take the sponsor money-get your bag and give us an insane video from it, but do it sarcastically.
Love that he goes to the old masters and they knew exactly what to do and how the blade broke. Man.

As a wise handyman once said... "I've watched ALOT of anime and trust me, your gonna want gunswords."
hmm
soos
Gunswords actually exsisted in history, mostly back when guns had one shot and a slow reload. Unfortunately, such weapons performed worse as swords and pistols.
Axe pistols were a bit better, as you could fit a longer barrel and use it two-handed more comfortably. Still, it was generally better to carry two weapons instead.
Wise AND handsome
@@Nerdnumberone and along these lines, henry the 8th had a gun mace (which he'd take out at night and look for random people committing crimes, much like batman. we know this cus he was arrested a couple times, surprisingly the cops that arrested weren't killed because what the king was doing was technically illegal)
Like every idat video, entertaining jokes and genuinely interesting crafting from start to finish. There's a special charm about the homebrew version that gets slapped together in a garage, but it was also really cool to see Keith forge up a new one in record time. The coloring laser was fascinating and the sword itself turned out incredible, even the clashing shades of blue ended up looking like part of the design with the perfect placement of it. As a lucky Feixiao haver who was playing Star Rail when the video dropped, you did a pretty damn good job.
Keith is a champion!
this is probably the best adverstisement/sponsor video i have ever seen holy shit. the fact it doesnt even beat around the bush within the first 10 sec is gold
16:59 not even a nerf gun?
Considering the police got involved with the tampon gun, no.
Ya, you can't even own airsoft guns in Australia so that might be a little too much for those guys.
@Finn-ev2lx cap guns are a steep ask. They contain an explosive device in those little red caps.
If you ask the Australian government, they're classed the same as Semtex.

I love the constant cops watching you do all the building.
16:11 the inertia from the hit made the cans lean on their edges -- combined with his probably slightly upwards horizontal swing, it gives the illusion of cutting upwards on each can was cut diagonally upwards
Creative, but incorrect. Turn each can 90 degrees clockwise then the cuts all line up, high side towards the person swinging, low side away from the person swinging. Consider the person swinging was higher than the cans and the downward angle makes sense. This can be confirmed at 15:58 using the barcode as your reference point compared to the orientation of the cans at 16:16
You're welcome.

10:30 I don't know which is worse, the canisters of something flammable threatening to catch a stray spark if the grinder is turned 20 degrees or so, or the dog food bowl that is definitely catching all of the metal dust as-is.
Fun fact, you could grind towards those gas bottles for years with zero consequences. That poor dog though😅
The dog needed more iron in its diet. Problem solved.
