Excellent work! Loved it! Guys, note that making a sword from a unique piece of wood will make the crossguard break when sparring. Because fibers get too short, they won't handle a great deal of impact. Making a more realistic wooden sparring sword requires two pices: one for the sword and other for the crossguard (in wich the fibers showld be horizontal, not vertical, in order to handle impact).
Seems like you could save a lot of fuss by just drawing the sword onto the wood. You can put pencil onto the back of your printed template, then place the paper on your wood, then draw over the top. This should leave a light imprint of the printout.
This is an amazing video and just what I was looking for! I'm a brand new crafting student and I'm just starting out with whittling and carving, but I still wanted to make some awesome swords for my girlfriend and I to spar with! Thank you so much for this video, it is gonna be incredibly helpful!!
@@Fdpotatochips my point of replying was that you don't make such a silly gesture next time. You honestly took the time out of your day to write a pointless reply
Thank you for the video, I think I'm in the minority of people who not nly enjoy watching people make cool things but also want to actually make them myself (I am terrified of making investments in pricey stuff like machines and power tools). Out of curiosity, what were the brand/type of chisels you use? I've seen chisels go for very high prices and people swearing oaths of fealty to them. I bought a cheap $15 dollar set from a craft store and tried it on bass wood, and I can't seem to tell if I'm just super weak or if they're pretty bad since it takes a'lot of effort to get the tiniest bit of wood off.
Chisels typically come with some very coarsely finished edges from the box. Especially the cheapo ones. I had the same problem when I got my first chisel. What you should do is sharpen it on a regular sharpening stone until you can't see any light reflecting on the very edge of the bevel and then hone it on progressively finer grits on sandpaper sheets on MDF. Start with something like 300-400 grit and go up to about 1000-2000 grit. Then to really make it hair popping sharp, strop it on some MDF with steel polishing compound (Autosol), or chromium oxide abrasive. Cheers and good luck
@@mikeg2046 Thanks for the well thought out answer. My health actually was and is still declining from when I wrote this, so I'm afraid it's power tools only for when I'm feeling well enough to hold some thing minorly heavy. Curious though, why does everything have to be on an mdf board though, just for weight?
THIS VIDEO IS SO WELL EDITED AND FUN TO WATCH - doing this for a project for myself and my cousin because she loves to do sword fights “pirates of the Caribbean-style” (we will be careful)
As a kid me and my friend made weapons in my grandpas shed. I made a wooden sword and attached nails to it that I bend 90°, so they lay flat on the swords blade. Then I sharpened a blade out of the nails with a grindstone and my mother found out about that sword when we played outside. She took it away because we were like ten and yeah it was razor sharp. 😅 I now start to imagine what weapons I could make real as joiner and craftman today. 🤔😅As there're still enough young kids around in the family, visiting my grandparents, it maybe is a bad idea. 😅🤣 By the way this sword looks really nice and cool video. 😎
So would a single piece work for sparring or would it be beneficial to have thicker layers of wood? Edit: so I tried your method and it had very good results. The only thing I didn't use was a template.
Hey man, great build as usual, i'm just wondering what you use to create your templates. I'm thinking of creating my own weapons as well but I don't have a template creator
I use SolidWorks to model the weapons and then export this file into a drawing. SolidWorks is a professional software which I'm allowed to use for free because I'm studying engineering. Some other CAD Program like FreeCAD would also work.
I'm writing a young adult fantasy novel and want to cosplay my characters, but I need to make the weapons/swords durable and realistic. What would you suggest I use other than wood?
Carbon fiber is not the way to go here! Its mechanical properties may good, but working with this stuff is highly dangerous. If you really dont want wood, maybe use lightweight aluminium cores (for stability) and surround it with foamboard (For safety and weight-reduction).
For that you just need higher quality wood, if you're willing to spend a little bit of money (not too much, around 10-20 USD) I'd strongly recommend getting hickory. It's a hardy and durable wood that you aren't likely to break. However, if you take this approach, I do strongly recommend making sure your tools are high quality and be sure to make sure they're sharp as well as hickory can be hard on your tools.
I don’t have any idea where to find these tools, clamps, Chisel, thingy scraper and the polish stuff, although I do have plenty of money, I’m only 14 XD. As a kid, I’ve always dreamed of wielding a real sword, but than as I got older I just gave up trying to peal sticks with a utility knife and they just, *Snap* than I went at it again... I just gave up, but now, I would like to find these tools, and make a real wooden one ☝️! Can anyone let me know where to find these?
It's always very enjoyable to make wooden weapons, but to make it stronger I've always make the blade seperate with a tang as you would one made of steel, with the crossguard made seperate, then the hilt pegged in seperate, then a tight pommel of sorts. They usually last longer in my experiance than those made of one piece.
That’s the same for me I’m trying to make a sword with a saw, knife and chisel and that’s it it isn’t even a chisel it’s a screwdriver I sharpened into a chisel

Question: How would you put the two pieces together for the strongest connection?
@@TheSailingDutchman1 tape
@@WorldwideAthlete no you would probably want to use epoxy or some kind of wood glue.
A bit late to the party but you could also make it out of plywood - doesnt look as good but sturdy as hell

Exactly my thoughts
I tend to use graphite paper to the same end with most of my projects.
Great vid.
"But first, let's clean workbench." That's the way it is with me, too.
This is amazing man, I’m 16 and I’m getting into wood working and I wanna make one of these as a starter for me. Thanks for the video :)

Looking much better now, started a second sword, if i had a wider plank. I could easily carve a cross guard but in my case I have to get creative

To make a plank sword
Okay so I own a jigsaw, will that work for plank wood that is two inches in terms of depth?
Is the wood sword good for training? On tree or etc?
I know it is late.... But could you make a trident in the near future please.
What about halberd or pole axe?

Could we use glue to keep the template on
Nice Job that doesn't look to hard. Just need to borrow a friends clamps and maybe a saw if mine is not the right one to use.
thanks for the help.

Great work, I will be using this in this coming spring. By any chance could you make an axe?
hey did you get the sword done yet?
@@grung701 lol
Would it be easier just to draw the sword on the plank and then sand the pencil/pen off later
If I can’t like put 2 pieces of wood together how long does the plank need to be?
Danke dir! Ziemlich cool!
May I just say, I fucking love your sense of comedy
Can the sword be used so that a 6-7 year old child can play with it, or is it just for decoration?
Yes it can, I had a few cousins test it out a couple of times. Depends on the wood and the ferocity of the cild of course :)
Guys the secret to the chisel method is the saw, use the exact saw he uses it helps
If only it was that fast to saw,,it would be fab
Very nice I think I’m going to try and make this
thanks for the great tips.
I'm writing a young adult fantasy novel and want to cosplay my characters, but I need to make the weapons/swords durable and realistic. What would you suggest I use other than wood?
Carbon fiber?
@@soreneatsstars I could, but I may have trouble getting it into conventions.
Carbon fiber is not the way to go here! Its mechanical properties may good, but working with this stuff is highly dangerous. If you really dont want wood, maybe use lightweight aluminium cores (for stability) and surround it with foamboard (For safety and weight-reduction).
yo. r u using soft wood or hard wood?
Great Job !!
This is very good sword 👌
Very cool
Nicely done
I to have a channel + I also make stuff got a dope idea from your video no sword but a Battle Axe, now that's what I'm talkin about 😎😎😎
nice work
nice work
thanks a ot
How did you do that mannn😍😍😍😍
I tried this. But my blade was so weak. So it broke.
For that you just need higher quality wood, if you're willing to spend a little bit of money (not too much, around 10-20 USD) I'd strongly recommend getting hickory.

I was expecting more but this will do
I am very sorry.. The last month was extremely busy, so I thought I better make just a simple sword than nothing..
Wooden Weaponry true..still its handmade,cant complain about it :)
seems easy. But in my case there is one issue: My family don't have workshop where to make that kind of wooden toys or something.
Do you think it'd be possible to make a katana prop with this sort of technique? Just curious as a future Demon Slayer cosplayer ^_^
Yeah, definitely!
Wood Len is that green thing you use instead of chisel?
