Fun little backstory/lore/headcanon for the sword It was made by a novice artificer as a proposal for the king so that his scouts could have a weapon ready at a moment's notice that also wouldn't take up much space; however, due to how the mechanism was set up, a direct jab would cause the blade to retract back to the hilt, the artificer was determined to make the weapon work as he believed that if his father a scout for the king had one he would have returned home that faithful night. So the artificer journeys the land looking to find a way to fix the flaw. He happens upon a skilled wizard who tells of a spell that allows a user to bond to their weapon, allowing them to control aspects of it. The problem is that this spell requires the hide/scales of a darkened bronze dragon, which, while they aren't very dangerous, are rare due to how old a bronze dragon must be before it transforms, so the artificer sets out after many moons defending himself with only his blade the artificer finds his target after a long battle the dragon falls the artificer follows the wizard's instructions and bonds to the blade soon after he returns to the king showing that he has fixed the weakness of the blade. Still, the king said that through the artificer's journey, the blade's weakness never hindered him, and by finding the solution to his problem, he showed how the problem was less of an issue than he had thought ultimately, though the blade was distributed. The king knew that the artificer would be a genius trying to find solutions to any problem. As for the original sword, it now lies with a vase of flowers on the father's grave. I'm not the best storyteller, but I couldn't help myself.
Really cool! Now I wanna make one. I just need to sacrifice an umbrella... I have some ideas for how to keep the tip from getting loose and also make the locking mechanism easier, if you want to revisit the project. Before disassembly, the folded-in 'spiderlegs' of the umbrella connected the top piece and the locking piece rigidly, both pushing and pulling. The added wire can only pull. You could use two of the spiderlegs as spacers between the to bits. They would make the top bit and and locking bit move as one solid unit. That way it should lock simply by being pushed together and you get more area to which to attach the top piece of the sword.
I’m a fairly scientifically minded person, the sheer amount of scuffed nonsense which happens in this video greatly concerns me Top tier work I love it
Small tip for painting cardboard (and a few other water/paint soaking materials) . Try diluting some pva glue with water 50-50 or so, and either brush or spray (any el cheapo squirty bottle should do) a light thin coat on top of it. You don't want to soak the cardboard, so if you need more it is best to do two-three thin coats than go in heavy and overdo it. This will be both a primer and a sealant for the cardboad once it is dry.
the sword is so absolutely insane and overall just looks very gorgeous! i really love the swirly ornamentation on the blade......... overall, really well done!
is it just me or just hearing her calming yet ear-catching attention voice and some art-based ideas makes me wanna see and hear more forget it I'm just gonna subscribe
@@riaj1124 Compromises the integrity, too bulky even if you make the blade compact, and simply overengineered. And... all kinds of folding blades exist. The butterfly, the absurdly illeral gravity folding knife, a real lot of designs, they all allow for a double edged blade. Yes, conventional folding knives don't. Other designs sometimes compromise safety. But why. Why would you need THAT if you have all the other options?..
come to think of it, i realised today that my umbrella was broken... i am _totally_ keeping it to use as parts for some kinda craft project down the line ;D
I would love to see this but with something like PVC piping instead of cardboard. I would have never thought to use an umbrella like that and it’s amazing.
I've been meaning to make a weapon prop for my Halloween outfit using the umbrella handle, thanks for this video it now solidifies my resolve for a bloodborne trick weapon 😊
I'm so happy that the umbrella SWORD got so many views, i just subscribed thinking it was already a big channel, and now i can see an amazing artist AND be here as the channel grow 🎉 Keep making your thing we will be cheering for you 🤝🏻✨️💕 Greetings from the sourthen country in the world jsjsj
Good job on your sword build. Glad that you are making this channel showing off creative craft contents. Hope your channel will grow up to be another big one!
I have actually thought of this as well! I have a broken umbrella and I really wanted to turn it into a spear thingy but it's a bit too short for a spear and I don't really know how to. So thank you for doing this! I actually have a basis now If I still want to go through with the idea.
still learning how to properly forge but one day i'm gonna make this thing into a real sword because this is just some awesome shit p.s. maybe i'll add a pop out leather section so it can be a shield, sword, and umbrella
This was very cool to see! If you're going to make more swords, please make a Zwiehander (greatsword). Of course, this is just a suggestion and you can make it with anything
Epic! Mildly related fact, art of inlaying with valuable metals is called damascening, as far as I heard at least 😄 Love the designs on the dark part, and it looks really great all together imo
So not quite , Damascus is the process of forging together layers of different metals (typically different grades of steel) this is done for a number of reasons but it results in a metal with a distinct appearance, typically that of Damascuses Wave or mottled patterns, this is achieved by folding the layers together till they create this pattern… think of it like a marbled puff pastry made of forged from metal. Inlay or more specifically Metal Inlay on the other hand is the process of inlaying a design into one type of typically harder metal using another type of softer metal. This design is typically engraved or carved into the base metal, and then the softer metal is then hammered/pressed into the grooves of the engraved design. I hope that clears up some confusion.
@The_Cloth_Surgeon well, you see... Damascus is a place, and they were doing steel but also other stuff, like silk, and damask silk patterns is apparently where the name for the process of damascening came from. Learning together every day lol, I wouldn't have ever checked if damascening was a separate thing or not because I'm too lazy, but here we are ) Thanks for the info and for the push en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascening
@ Oh ok now that is fascinating!!! I was aware of the Syrian Capital city Damascus and its ancient origins, but I wasn’t aware of this semantic drift I’m wondering if this polysemy evolution of in the meaning of Damascus vs Damascusing , that is really interesting. I wonder if this may have been due to a Western European mistranslation ( I mean Middle Ages Western Europe was full of individuals who swore they could translate proto-Farsi/ Farsi/Arabic, when really they had slightly less than a clue… looking at you Matthaeus Platearius of the Schola Medica Salernitana) And now I need to dive this is really fascinating thank you for pointing out the Semantic drift and my error :).
I think if you make the tip of the cardboard inner piece longer and fill that extra space with an expanding foam and put in the umbrella bit before it dries it should extend its life a bit without too much change.
that looks like a really fun project. i have an old umbrella, maybe i should do something with it like this. regarding the glasses thing, i got lasik this year and it was legitimately one of the best decisions of my life. if you qualify for it, then i highly recommend it, provided that there is center near you. i got tested for it and had the surgery all in one day, the operation was like five minutes and i could see the better instantly and was up and driving around the next day.
This was really fun to watch! Lol this was randomly recommended to me but I found it really interesting. I bet this would make it easier for cosplayers to pack for trips and stuff too!
For me I think the journey was guy who cleans storm drains, guy who mows overgrown lawns for free, building inspector for poorly constructed mass housing and then here..
@@ahsrav0 Pretty scary actually. He finds support beams that are cracked and a shocking amount of things you'd expect in a 20 year old house. He even gets threatened by the builders for exposing their shoddy work. Cy Porter is the name of the guy for the channel CyFy that I'm watching.
9:23 Although I wouldnt recommend it if ur tight on cash, an easy way to reinforce cardboard is to wrap it in 1-2 layers of tape(I use masking tape so I can paint it better). Its actually works pretty well, I used it to make the dagger from JJK(Toji’s weapon) and I could actually stab it into walls with next to no damage at all including the paint.
This looks like a The Legend of Zelda sword and I'm all for it, this actually kinda convinced me to do blacksmithing when I get older, and more privileged

There's others?!

That's what makes it more fun.

I thought this was a larger channel at first, so seeing 5.5k subs was a jumpscare. Good quality, and definitely worth a like and sub
I love how this doesn’t start with “I 3D printed this small piece”
As someone who also disassembled a umbrella: they ARE scary 😂
indeed

I know that's a joke, still really stupid.
She's too cute to be a smith
I can’t 😭I’m screaming at my phone every time you open the umbrella 😭😭
I love this woman's calm craziness 😂😂😂😂
If that was made from sheet steel it would be epic.
Agreed, I wish I knew how to work with steel
I would so do that
The basic girlie i am was wondering if tin foil would work
One-day, you are going to work with Nerdforge, just some kinda prediction
You are onto something tgat sword came out beautifully, loving the umbrella core
you should partner with hacksmith for a bigger and stronger design👍
still the best stuff I've seen all month
underrated youtuber!! wish you luck!
She has a very soothing voice
You bring me back to my childhood when i was used to make a lot of stuff with cardboard and tape i love it new sub!
come to think of it, i realised today that my umbrella was broken... i am _totally_ keeping it to use as parts for some kinda craft project down the line ;D
As a brazilian, the idea of 10C in the summer disturbs me
Came for the sword, stayed for the creator.
Seriously though, love your humor❤
I would’ve lost my mind just *designing* the gold engravings on the blade.
I love this, good work!
I’m going to be using this to make a fake grappling hook for Halloween!
7:55 "Obligatory bane joke
This was the first time a short convinced me to watch the longer video!
This is such a fun and cool project. What a great imagination you have. You remind me of NerdForge :)
That looks so cool!
THIS CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED WTFFF😭😭😭
Slightly unhinged person making things I wish I could? Sign me up

Zamn this girl has potancial maybe a worthy rival for nerdforge
This channel is so underrated
Make sword that functions as an umbrella
"Its probably gonna break in no time" *breaks less than a minute later*
Gotta admire that i found this vid via a short. But your voice, your smile and your way of telling story is quite attractive. Subcribed.
Failures just part of the Journey. Keep going find the joy in learning and Experimenting and you'll eventually succeed ! I'm rooting for you !

Keep making your thing we will be cheering for you 🤝🏻✨️💕
Greetings from the sourthen country in the world jsjsj
thats sooo cool :0
also why are umbrellas without the top stuff so scary-
Feels forbidden to see it without the fabric 🕷️
Lol they look like medieval torture devices
You give major NerdForge vibes lol. Love your creativity and skill, you have really cool, unique ideas!
ITS ONLY 3:30AM DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO... oh yeah... I should deffo go to bed... thanks for the reminder....
Awesome
Maybe 3d print the tip or put something to cush the impact
Nice one! Love thinking outcof the box. When i was younger i made foladable wings out of the thin parts of the umbrella👊😝
The Chinese worker watching his 1567389th umbrella getting dismantled right in this video 😑😳😭💀
As a Brit, I can only apologise for our weather
Man i was captured by the boom sword short. But i didn't expect to sit through the whole video. Your editing is top notch. ☺️

this is sick!
this honestly looks epic. (if i could somehow manage this i would do it)
