Xot Makes: How to make an advanced boffer sword
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 ноя 2019
- In the previous video, Xot showed us his way of making a basic boffer sword. In this video he expands on that, and makes a great sword.
My friend Xot owned the building my first set was in, and he helped me get my RUclips channel started. He wanted to make his own series of videos about how to properly make and use boffer swords. Xot passed away a year ago, November 1st 2018. Here is the second of two videos about boffers that we got a chance to film.
Thank you Xot for being such a dynamic incredible person.

I'm sorry Odin. Xot seems like he was an awesome guy.
Really wonderful tutorials from your good friend, I hope to see you put them to use and add your own spin to a boffer yourself Odin!
I didn't know Xot was... Dead....
Now that i know.. I'm sad.
Xot looked like à very kind person
Rest in peace Xot
Erwan Pontacq wait how?

@@wanou_4259 ok
It seems like you and Xot had a friendship that some would call a brotherhood and I'm so sorry you lost such a dear friend of yours 💔
Xot has a bright personality and funny wit about him, he is very charismatic and I'm glad that even though we never got the chance to experience Xot to the fullest, what you have shared with us shows us that he was talented and just as likeable and charming as you Odin.
I hope Xot is resting easily now 💙
Thank you very much Jessica! I got to work with Xot on a number of projects over the 24 years I knew him. He was the first person I asked for help with space for my channel. He was a great friend to me, and a nice host at his parties.
I’m so sorry 😔
RIP Xot
As a person who doesn’t cosplay or LARP, or even go to cons, I find all of your videos extremely engaging and interesting. I appreciate the content you put out, as it does reflect my secondary nerd hobbies (mostly movies and shows).
I think I can speak for everyone saying that it’s heartbreaking seeing you talk about your friend Xot after his passing. Losing someone you care about is difficult, but just so know you have a support family (nearing the 500k mark) who will always have your back. Thank you for sharing your passion, as well as Xots with us.
Thank you so very much Joe! Just, thank you.
“It’s your audience, they will understand.”
We sure do.
I don't understand. Stop making assumptions and speaking for others. It's so disrespectful.
Freddy what is so disrespectful about saying how I feel. What would be respectful, “naw, idiot, we don’t understand so just shut up.” Cause if you ask me, that’s extremely disrespectful seeing that it is a video to honor Odin’s good friend who sadly passed away a year ago. Can somebody say anything without offending other people, damn.
Again, Rest In Peace Xod, we miss you
@@brisk9213 Well I don't mean to be disrespectful, but who is Xod?
Freddy he is Odin friend who passed away and the guy who was making the bigger the entire video. I just misspelled it.
Rest In Peace Xot
I'm sad that he's no longer with us. He seems like a great man and someone i would have loved to watch every week.
I make boffers of my own and want to say thank you to you and Xot for making these videos as there are details I struggled to work on that he explained in this video specifically. On a personal note, I'm sorry to hear about your friends passing. Thank you for introducing him to the community.
Thank you Knight! That really cool to hear. I am very happy Xot got the chance to explain how and why he would build his way, in detail.
I just wanted to thank you Odin for sharing these memories with us, and I'm glad you were able to "spend some more time" with your friend Xot doing what you both really enjoyed
Thank you Sabastian.
ODIN MAKES Xot memorial Boffer Sword!
Odin also made me choke up. Who's cutting the onions?
RIP Xot.
Thank you Odin for posting this set of two videos. Xot was my best friend and his passing hurt very much. It has taken a couple of months to build up the courage to view these. We first started building boffers in the early 90’s. The technique was very different. Much more duct tape. Even back then he always stressed safety. To hear his voice and to see his humor, warmth, wit and good nature once again is a gift. It brings great memories and healing. Thank you Odin for this gift.
I love Xot Makes video! 👍🏻
you made me cry... again
xot really seems to have been one of those friends that was there always and we are so lucky for you sharing some of his life with us
thanks odin
Quote of the year. "Spending less time on repairs meand you get to beat your friends"
Incoming T-shirt! :)
"Odin's Mates" would have been a good name for these....
Cool!
Xot's gone but never forgotten, Feel me, Odin?
I just have dust in my eye. 😭 Sorry for your loss. Seemed like an awesome guy
Thank you, he was very fun to hang out with, and a great game master for Pathfinder.
from what I could take, Xot was an amazing man, and I would have loved to see more from him, it would have been an honor to sit down with you and him and spend hours just discussing cosplay and larping ideas. now he's teaching the big man upstairs how to turn foam and pvc into the most epic play swords you've ever seen.
Thank you for sharing this part of your life. He seemed like a cool dude and was really good on camera
He was good on camera! That was a pleasant surprise- he was as camera shy as anyone else, but fell into storytelling Xot very easily.
And he was a lot of fun to hang out with, a generous host at parties, and played the role of the bard at events.
I’m glad his memory is able to live on through these videos. Seeing the joy he had, and the emotion you shared was really inspiring. He must have been a great guy.
So I knew Xot personally, and am surprised and thankful to see him on my recommended screen. Thanks for letting me see this Odin.
Thanks for sharing, Odin... And of course, thank you Xot, wherever you are...
May the Valhalla and _the other Odin_ always cast light on your path...
Odin, you are amazing. You truly are so humble and considerate. I am so glad that I discovered this channel, and I am so sorry about Xot. He seemed great, and he was so nice to let you record in his shop. He was a true friend. So for that, I give him the greatest honor in the entire universe, Xot, God of Kindness and Hardwork. I think he would be pround to see how far you have grown. Thankyou for sharing with us someone you looked up to.
Right on! Thank you Niklaus!
Odin losing a friend can be very hard. Thank you for sharing him with us we know he meant a lot to you and it would of been very hard to lose him but he seems like a very nice, kind person who had passion and generally cared about what he was good at.
You can hear the sorrow in your voice. I'm sorry your friend passed. He seems like a great guy and you got to pass on his knowledge through these videos be proud that you got that chance to hear and him be part of your life again. Odin your a great guy thank you for showing me xots videos i definitely be making one of each. RIP xot
It’s so good to see him again. He was such a good man, and I miss him. Thank you so much for these videos, Odin.
You bet Wasgattalex! I am so happy to have gotten these made.
Xot seemed like a brilliant guy and obviously meant a lot to you, thankyou for sharing this with us and allowing us to learn from you both, thoughts with you my dude
Watching this video made me feel happy and sad at the same time. I learned a lot from the instructions, laughed at the jokes, and love the way he shared the knowledge like a friend. Man I really wish he's still here and make more videos like this. I guess that if he makes an instructional video about peeling potato, it would still be wholesome.
"Spending less time on repairs is a good thing.. means you have more time to beat your friends"
Can you say that again? I didn't catch it the first time.
Every year since my friend has passed, I buy two sets of role playing dice. One for him and one for me. I do that to honor him. By doing these video, you have honored your dear friend/brotherr. Be proud of yourself. because I would presume he would be of you.
Losing a friend is never easy and the grief we have may never go away. Keep them close to your heart and they will never go away...
Thank you for posting these, they were very enjoyable to watch! These were great to reminisce on old memories because he reminds me of my Grandfather since they were so similar in humor and liked to make things. I'm sorry to hear of his passing, I'm sure we all would have loved to see all the planned video ideas from you both!
Awesome Lukeclm! And thank you. I am happy it gave you the chance to reminisce about you Grandfather. :)
I find it interesting that I come across these videos almost exactly two years after the fact while randomly browsing earlier videos of the channel. Even years later, Xot gets to bring laughter to someone new. There's always something special about that.
I still prefer the unused, "Hi, I'm the Evil Odin. As you can see, I have a goatee." intro from the basic boffer video.
Best ever. Less repair time means more time beating your friends. Xot seems like he would have been an awesome person to hang out with. Thank you again for sharing these two videos with us.
Thank you Odin for sharing this videos with Xot. I’m sorry for the loss of your brother in building, my thoughts and prayers are with you Odin.
So sorry for not only your loss Odin, but everyone who was affected by his passing. We appreciate how you are sharing this great man and your memories of him with us and it’s a damn shame such a kind man is gone. 💙
I'm so sorry for the lose of your friend, Odin. You can tell that you really miss him. Thank you for sharing these moments you have of him, it's a really nice way to honor him.
My condolences.
I am sorry for your loss Odin.
He was an awesome guy....
Man, I didn't knew Xot, but these videos made me miss him too. Great character, great guy!
Xot seemed to show this kind of sassy straight forward yet humorous attitude to give a bit of extra energy to the channel. It’s a shame we won’t get more, but we can always learn from Xot not just his techniques for making boffers, but also his positive inspiring energy and motivation towards doing something we love !
I can't say I knew Xot, never met the guy, but it's clear from the sincerity you speak with, Xot was a good man. He gave you a place to create, and more so, was inspired by your creation and wanted to create too. That's all we want, as people who make. We just want to inspire and have a friend to come along for the ride, to share the desire in our hearts to create. I'm sorry there isn't more of Xot to see, but may he rest in peace and watch over you somehow, Odin.
Till Valhalla, we raise our glass for Xot
Gonna make a Boffer with a friend of mine sometime soon XOT's tutorial was great may he rest well and where ever he may be may he be inundated with boffers of all kinds.
Rest well Xot. You're builds were a joy to watch.
You’re a good man Odin, I’m sorry you lost a friend, but now he, your friendship, and memories are immortalized. When it comes to making memories, This, is how Odin makes.
I'm sorry for your loss, Odin. It's clear that he meant a huge amount to you, and it's left its mark on you. Thank _you_ for sharing a little of that with us, your viewers, as well as teaching us new skills.
Thank you for sharing these 2 videos with us. I am sorry for your loss.
I think it's beautiful that you are sharing these with us... it's very touching, thank you Odin
This was a great video to watch! And it is nice that you were able to share your friend with us. Also has given me much interest in making one of these myself.
we love you Odin
stay strong bro
Thank you dimitreze! I will be back next week with another comic book prop.
Thank you for sharing this with us Odin. I'm so sorry for your loss. Just from these two videos, the world can tell that this was a very special man. Thank you Odin.
These are fantastic videos. Thank you for editing these and posting them for us all. I learnt alot from this video. I liked how instead of repeating steps, Xot simply said "Go watch the other video".
I am glad you took the time to share Xot with us, he was awesome. I am sure he appreciates you sharing him with us.
Xot seems like he was a really awesome guy and an overall nice person. Thank you for sharing these Odin. So sorry for your loss
This must be bitter sweet for you, Odin, and for all of us as well. Xot seems like he was a truly wonderful friend, talented man, and a good person to have known.
Thank you very much Warryck! He was quite a person, very crafty, a enjoyed socializing with all his friends.
It's been really great for me, hearing all this again. And it's especially nice for his other close friends, who didn't know these videos were coming!
Xot seems like a awesome fun friend. Thanks for sharing this with us. A wonderful memory for you and a neat guy for us!
When I saw the video I became extremely excited to see more Xot videos, he seemed like a really chill genuine guy. Thank you so much Odin for sharing him with us and thank you to him for everything he has done behind and in front of the camera. I’m so sorry for what happened, but once again it must have been hard to edit this video, you were really brave to do that
What a great way to honer the life of your friend Xot, great video Odin x
The emotion is your voice is so touching Odin. Thank you for sharing Zot with us!
Hearing you talk about the memory of your friend is truly heartbreaking. Im glad you have these 2 videos to pay tribute to him so he can live on in the memory of your following - the following he in turn helped you create. Xot seems like an amazing guy and and an even more incredible friend
Long time listener, first time caller.
Make a boffer. Honor you friend in the best way. Have fun and be more energetic with it. Make the ultimate hybrid of Xot’s style and your own.
Ps, this is my first ever comment on a RUclips video. Please do this. Sorry for you loss.
Just started watching your channel and came across these 2 videos of your friend, and I am glad you shared these videos, may your friend rest well and finds the peaceful eternity he deserves, and thank you Odin for sharing these memories of your friend with the world
I too lost friends a couple of years ago and it's never easy but this made me smile how
beautiful is to remember so dearly an awesome friend
keep it up man love your show
sorry that your friend passed, I can see why he was your friend and that he was a cool guy to be around. the first vid and this one are great ones! wish we could have had more. he would have been a great co-host. again great vid and I always enjoy your maker vids! keep them coming!
A very fitting tribute to a great man and your dear friend. Hugs for you Odin.
These videos make me so happy and then leave me sad and empty at the same time
I wanna thank you Odin, for sharing these videos with us. Xot meant a lot to you, and I really enjoyed these videos. Thank you
What a lovely man. It is so sad to lose such a good friend but these two videos have been a lovely way of sharing your memories with the world. Thank you.
He seemed like a great guy and thank you for sharing these moments with us.
I read through some comments: Pathfinder is my favorite system, I have been gaming since D&D 2nd edition and his personality seemed perfect for a GM, you guys must have made great memories. Thanks again for sharing, Odin.
Odin, thank you so much for sharing Xot with us!!
Thank you again Odin. Xot touched so many of us in so many local gamer and craft communities here. It's nice to see and hear him once more. You've done all of us a great service.
Thank you Odin for sharing your message with us. You have my condolences.... may he rest in peace...
Thank you for sharing your memories with us, Odin. Xot seemed like a pretty cool guy with lots of knowledge. At ;east his legacy lives on in you.
Xot seems like a fantastic freind may God bless you brother and Praise God you have the Videos with the memories! I'm sorry for your loss!
It may just be my opinion, but I would personally love to see Odin take inspiration from Xot's teachings, and make a video on his own design of a "Boffer" sword. Just a thought anyways. Odin, thank you for allowing us the privilege of seeing a wonderful human being. My thoughts are with you.
Odin, thank you for sharing Xot. I could see in your introduction how much he meant to you. In only two videos, he grew to mean a lot to me, too.
i'm sorry about Xot, he seemed like a nice guy. thanks for sharing his memory with us, iv always watched your channel and have a journal of my own with my own ideas, taking in everything from every maker I've ever watched. thank you, Odin
I really wish there was more of him to watch. He is hilarious. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome tribute for an awesome friend. I'm sure Xot is smiling somewhere.
It's great that you're honoring your friend like this. I understand the wish to have more, I lost my mother in March of this year, and I would trade anything for just a little more time with her. Xot was clearly a great guy, I wish we could have gotten more time with him. I'm sorry for your loss.
RIP to the XOT.... Enjoyed it. I could see why you guys were good friends.
Odin, I've followed and enjoyed your channel for quite a while. I wanted to say thank you for sharing your friend with us, and especially thank you for sharing what he meant to you with us as well. I enjoyed his wit and humor, and can only imagine your loss. Thank you for this. In his honor, I've used these videos to make boffers for me and my grandson...who sat and watched both videos with me. XOT has become a multi-generational inspiration...and so have you.
Oh wow, thank you very much, that is very nice to hear- I am choked up. Hello to your grandson, and thank you both!
Another great tutorial, super cool and nice guy, it seems like all the good ones are taken from us, WHY! Rest in peace Xot.
And thank you, Odin, for sharing Xot with all of us, (this is probably not a ton of consolation, but at least you have these two videos to remember him by). His legacy surely will live on.
Xot would be thrilled to have such a large audience.
I was afraid to work on these earlier, but I am really happy I got them done now.
Thank you very much Connor.
Now that you've shown us these videos of Xot, I wish there would be more and it makes me sad that he's gone, because he seems like such a great guy and reminds me a lot of a relative
I wish he was hear to teach us more, It an honor to learn for you sir. Long Live Xot!!! We shall meet him in Valhalla some day
Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks for sharing your buddy with us, Odin!
I think these two videos are an excellent way for you to remember your friend, he looked like he was a great guy, thank you for sharing him with us
Thank you Cynical Steve!
Because you have shared this rare soul with us, Xot will never be forgotten.
I like that he put magic runes on his blade that spell out X O T
I'm so sorry for your loss Odin! Xot seemed like a genuinely nice guy, just as you are. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of Xot's legacy of boffer weapons. Maybe continue the series for him, if you know what else he would have completed. Also "they're your audience, they'll understand!" Yes we do. Again sorry for your loss
I loved that part! "THHhhHPPptTT!" I about fell out of my chair.
Dammit whatever is in my eye seems to have gotten into your eye Odin. Awesome channel and seems like an awesome man.
I feel so sorry for you. Because I lost a friend of mine. And I miss him every single day. So I relate to you Odin. Rip❤
Just got a little choked up watching you talk about your friend. It is so obvious he meant a great deal to you. He seems like a great guy. So sorry you lost such a lovely friend.
Thank you Adrian! I surprised me how much I didn't "deal with the feelings" when it happened. Now I am. It's nice.
Xot seemed like a guy I could have really gotten along with. I’m sorry you lost a good friend Odin, I’m sure he meant a lot to you. Thank you for uploading his videos for us to see, and hopefully we can help carry on his legacy and the tradition of boffer making.
Thank you! Xot enjoyed to company of others, and would have invited you to a game night at the very least!
Wonderful tutorials, and I hope to see you put them to good use making a boffer with your own spin on it, Odin!
Its never easy to lose someone, especially when they are as great as xot seemed to be , im definitely not the first, and i surely wont be the last , but i give my condolences, as many others have said we all appreciate you and the awesome work you do , and sharing xots greatness with us after his passing is an awesome thing. He will now live on in these videos on the internet forever, and the world is a better place now because of it. Thank you odin for sharing , and just know that whatever you believe in hes in a better place makin awesome boffers and spreading that infectious personality amongst the other great souls who have moved on, whether in Valhalla,nirvana, heaven or even just the hearts of those that loved him a soul as good as that lives on forever. XOT🤘🤘
Wow, thank you cj c, that is really, very awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing these with us, Odin.
You bet! Hello to both of you.
Thank you for sharing your friend with us.
Xot seems like he was a sweet, genuine, simple guy in the best way possible. Honestly, I thought he was your older brother or something when I first saw him in the thumbnails. I'm glad you were able to recover some of your memories with him, and I know I'll definitely use his expertise to make a boffer of my own some time.
Right on, thank you Gerben!
coming up to the 4th year after my best friends passing , I know how it is Odin, Rest In Peace Xot.
Ive only seen this guy twice and it makes me sad that he didnet get the chance to make more. This guy has a goofy but knowledgable light about him. RIP XOT THE GREAT AND POWERFUL.
Hail Xot!
Thank you very much Shane. :)
He really enjoyed makin boffer and he looks like a really good guy. I wish I can watch him even more. Rest in peace Xot
