  • Over the course of 4 years, I hand-forged a Munich-style zweiahnder/greatsword from a huge leaf spring. The completed sword came out to be 5ft, 8in long and weighed 14 lbs.

    Beutifull thing! your projects always have a very rustic design, wich i like. The decorations on the handle and leather realy make it stick out!! Great work man!!!

    Phil if you have not already i would round the inside of the corners where you put the lugs so they dont end up causeing a stress riser at that thin part of a blade. Very nice work though and I can't believe this video only got 77 likes so far at the time I am seeing it.

    Great work,Im amazed how most of your equipment is inexpsensive and improvised,only expensive tool you might have is the belt grinder.I was trying to figure out your Anvil.I find it inspireing that you dont need 1000's of dollars to start forging

      Yup, oil quenched and then torch tempered.

      I usually make videos of the custom orders I get, so it might be a while beforeI do those types of blades. I know Old Hickory Forge has a Irish ring sword in the works tho

    yes, yes yes finely it has been a long-time sin you posted.

  • @Acerodelmonte

    It was a really nice piece, but 14 lbs is way to heavy for a greatsword, they usally are at max out at 6 to 8 lbs for a usable weapon.

    Awesome sword! And welcome back! Long time no see, I harvested my big old leafspring 8 years ago for this zweihander project but never got to it yet. It's from a mercedes tractor 14mm thick and good 80mm wide so I figured cutting it lenght wise and go from there

    • @PhilBaumhardt
      @PhilBaumhardt  Год назад +1

      Yeah good plan, that should hopefully avoid the weight issue I have with mine
