Love how you guys are not afraid of testing new processes !
integza here? now, only tomato smashing is missing! 😂😂😂
integza here... and nothing exploded
@@Dorutar1989 thats missign too sadly
Bro your here also!!! I guess talent is a global endeavour.
When are you going too print the amusement device. I wait and wait.
It's the only way to really grow as a crafter and designer!
I feel like you need to make Hansie an outfit now too... this is so cool, good job you guys! I like how the blades look like carved ice, and lighting it up from the inside is so cool. High fives all round, this rocks.
I couldn't shake the feeling that this last year of projects is leading to an epic fantasy short film. Not intentionally, mind, but at this point it feels like an inevitable (and welcome) end result.
Ooohhh yes . Hansie needs at least one awesome armor set . Maybe even his own 2h berserker are to go with
Hansie def needs an outfit!
Imagine them back to back, her daggers a glow in her full cowl. And him hoisting up a two handed morning star in full plated armor. Where do I sign?
If you're looking for suggestions, make a Ranger costume for Hansie complete with hood, cloak, bow, arrows and quiver.
"Used to be a software engineer, now I'm in a garage making clay." I know! Isn't it great!!!
@Sophy Liang LOLL I didn't even notice! Yesssss!!!
Goals.
yeah, i came to find this comment
Martina: "You know what the best part is?!"
Hanse: "I think i know what the best part is!"
Martina: *Excited squirminng*
Hanse: "Is it the Crystal Dagger Blades?!"
Martina: *Happy Banshee Noises*
I love you guys's energy
😂😂
Lol yes
EEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH
Does anyone else want them to make matching armor for Hansi? I would love to see Martina teaching him how to make his own style and then having those dramatic shots where they are fighting back-to-back. I think it would be cool to see him doing something we usually watch Martina do. I just really like when they are both in the videos cause they are the cutest couple ever!
That would be the best!!
YESS
Poor guy needs armor.
Not Just matching Armor: if she can have Legendary Weapon like these Spectral Daggers they Just made, he can have a Spectral Sword too!!!!!
Possibly the coolest way to direct airplanes around the terminal.
LMAO!!!!! underrated comment if i ever saw one. I laughed so hard !
@@LiaVinicius Can you imagine being the pilot of a 777landing at say Heathrow International on a foggy night. You taxi up to the terminal and out of the shadows steps Martina in full costume waving a couple of glowing daggers. A moment of panic and then you realize that the signals are actually correct, guiding you in. You look down into the cockpit for a second but when you look back outside to say thanks, the mysterious woman with the glowing daggers is gone... lol
I'm glad to know I gave you a laugh today! Cheers 👍
@@p.t.anderson1593 love it 😂💜
exactly...
@@p.t.anderson1593 lmao
Yes, the daggers are nice, but the EPIC CLEANING MONTAGE is the content I'm here for...
He even got the grout. That’s dedication.
That, and the ever awesome, "Annnd back to the project". 😀
yess say it again
200% im goig to start DIYing with Epic Music from now on.
And while she was just designing in the other room. Can we get a #1 boyfriend mug for this man? XD
"I used to be a software engineer, now I'm making clay in the middle of a Tuesday"
Congratulations on that upgrade!
Lmao! 🙏🤣
As someone up at 4:46am on a Wednesday using this video as background noise while programming: I'd have to agree LMAO
@@JadeSlays what the heck, you have bad work life balance, move to Denmark!!! Like me!!
@@omilkhouseo lmao yes, I really do xD I've been working 18 hour days seven days a week for the past three months lmao 🤣 I'm fine I promise, not losing my mind at all. What's so great about Denmark?
@@JadeSlays
Unions ;-)
I loved seeing Hansi take a bigger part in the action! The cleaning montage was life. And the more of the dynamic between you two that we see, the more I love you both as a couple and as a team! Keep being amazing you two!
I also loved seeing more of hansi working side by side with her! Quite the nerdy power couple!
me too!
The contrast between Martina's work and Hansi's cleaning process was cinematic gold. The pure determination, the blind behind the back tool toss into the perfect landing, the beads of sweat forming. Well done. Very well done.
“I used to be a software engineer and now I’m in a garage making clay” I feel that on a spiritual level, I left programming to become a nursery nurse. 😂
Nothing like working in a nice clean workshop! This build has everything.
Without him, the project would’ve failed before it had even started. He is my hero
Every day we get closer to NerdForge becoming an actual forge
The footage at 16:44 is absolutely epic, Martina! A great job of making the daggers, but Hansi going from software engineer to cleaner to a clay technician in a single episode?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the great work, Martina & Hansi - you are great role-models to follow
"Skjera Bagera"
Wow, these look INCREDIBLE! Also, I love your channel :D
"We're gonna need a handle, so I'll handle it"
*both of them finger guns each other*
Loved that part 😂
Best part! :P
Relationship goals
Lmao “used to be a software engineer now I’m making clay” 😂
The using a shovel as a microphone bit will never stop being funny to me.
It's her trademark 💥
I missed it 😔 where? Oh you mean the trowel?!? Gotcha lol ive never heard it called a shovel before
Me today: I want to make a glowing dagger for a cosplay
Nerdforge, psychically knowing exactly what I needed yet again: we got you covered
Yeah this is the kind of thing that you go “ oh that doesn’t look to hard “
Reality: no
Can I just say, thank you for wearing serious and proper protective gear, particularly respiratory gear. So many crafting youtubers (particularly old school men) half ass their respiratory protective gear and its so good to see you both wearing proper respirators
Their relationship with resin is the most beatufiul thing ive seen
You should check Evan & Kaytlin too they give very wholesome vibes
I'm living for Hansi's epic cleaning montage
I know it's amazing.
you spelled Hansi right 😍
My wife said I should tell you that she likes the music. Very important information.
Hansi, that EXTREME!!!! cleaning made the world a better place. Seldom have we seen such focus and dedication to right the wrongs around us... It brought a tear to my eye! Slow clap.... you deserve it, brother!
Seeing more of Hansi, but especially the cleaning montage, was the best part of the video! Martina is lucky to have such a supportive and creative boyfriend to share this TH-cam adventure with! ♡
By far one of my favorite videos even if not one of my favorite art projects overall. :3
U can use castable resin for ur 3d-printer. As a dental-technican i do this every day. No need to cast from resin to wax to metal. Just straight resin to metal
VOG has a ton of content relating to metal casting from a 3d printer, including reviewing various castable resins. Definitely recommend checking out that channel if you want to go down that route: th-cam.com/channels/kEYj8wtK3aEW8vSGhlB43g.html
Is it me or is this video next level when it comes to editing/camerawork/entertainment??!
The fact that you sound like a blacksmith from an anime makes this even better ngl.
Lol good point
Which anime are you talking about?
@@clockworkNate I dunno. An anime the anime.
They're gorgeous! They look like they've been sculpted out of ancient, blue glacial ice. So impressive, as always.
I ALMOST SCREAMED WHEN THE DAGGERS LIT UP IN THE GLOVES, THAT IS SO SICK!!!
In the wise words from that kid off the Incredibles, "that was totally WICKED!"
Great job with this, it honestly looks sick. If I didn't love you guys so much as TH-camrs, I'd suggest getting jobs in prop making for films 😅😁
Martina actually made an awesome chest for a short film :)
@@alessandrocernuzzi Yeah I saw the video (both of them making it and the actual film)! It was another reason why I think they should be hired more often 😂
"Is it the Crystal Dagger Blades?"
*R2-D2 SCREAM*
Hansi aggressively scrubbing/cleaning a clock is the content I'm here for! And cool daggers too! A double win!!!
First of all the daggers are absolutely fantastic like always! The details ahh your work was absolutely worth it! Especially with the nice light touch like real magic 🤩💠🪄
Second of all I love when you two work together! It's so wholesome and you complete each other so well with great organization. It's so inspiring!
Hope you guys have many many more projects to come!! 💫💟
Thanks a ton!
Its insane how becoming so good at art can translate to all kinds of stuff
Hey nerdforge, it looks amazing! Just one thing though, with the magnet sensor lighting function, maybe instead of making the light turn on instantly, you could make the light fade in and out when you hold/drop, it would give it a bit more magical sort of vibe, but either
way it's amazing!!!
A small effects board might fit in the hilt. Don't know many but the smallest I know of are for 3rd party Lego lighting. Flickering and pulse for engInes, fire, water etc. Pulse might work for picking up the dagger but dropping could cut power at brightest part.
I wanted to comment this exactly!
Adding a small electrolytic capacitor after the switch (and before current limiting resistor) would probably do just that. You could substitute those batteries with 14500 rechargeable battery to get more voltage and space.
Another fantastic project! Great job! =D
Thank you guys!! 😊
I went on TH-cam to learn about the Salem witch trials while I’m binding a book….. but cool looking knifes first.
**knives.
They make books too..... check it out.
I am descended from Susannah Martin. One of the 7.
@@dieselblazehaze-desireiona6910 Do you ...... weigh as much as a duck?
You always pick such awesome music. Thank you for the high quality production in addition to the unique, engaging content.
the clock is interesting because not only does it let you know how long the project took you can also count the fps the camera is timelapsing at.
The only thing that I think would have made them even better is if the light slowly faded on and off when you grab them and let go, instead of just turning on and off. Like they were powering up and down.
Its a God send to see talented people doing their thing.
I've never taken the time before to say thank you. Here it is, Thank you.
You've helped me make life more fun with my kids.
The high pitched scream at the start had me crying I was laughing so hard lol
Sounded like a Jawa lol
Reminds me of how back in the eighties, Rusty Dawe (very well-known American costumer -- he and his wife Diane, plus their friends the Turners, won a lot of costuming awards at SF conventions, and later CostumeCons, back in the day) made Stormbringer, Elric's sword from Michael Moorcock's books. Similar, in that it only worked when he held it, but different.
No LEDs, so IIRC he used fiber optics. No teensy power supplies, so he had the battery on him, camouflaged as part of his Elric costume. He ran wires down his arm to his gauntlet, which had metal contacts in the palm (disguised as studs in the leather or something, with the same design in the other gauntlet), and the sword's hilt was also metal. When he held the sword, that connected the sword to the battery, and when he waved it, the light effect rippled up and down the blade. But if he let someone else hold it, they couldn't make it work. Magic sword -- only works for Elric. :)
Your daggers are massively awesome, and go really well with the costume!
Those definetely would be categorized as Legendary Weapons in any RPG system ever made.
So now it's just the waist holsters for the blades. And a staff holder for your back. With quick release for easy action. Then let the dungeons and masters conquest begin
Watch Shadiversity's channel to research attaching things to one's back.
I simply love the "we don't know how to do this but w'll figure it out" way you two artisans work
That ending montage. If I saw that warrior coming at me with her glowing blades, I’d surrender the field and let her have whatever it was she came for.
Could you please make the “How to train your dragon- book of dragons. It is my favorite movie and I would love to see it since it is kind of similar to the other books you have made but it’s still challenging to make a replica
the craftsmanship on this channel is astounding
Hansi’s epic cleaning montage… 🤣 but seriously though, the amount of detail you guys put into this is awe-inspiring! Love your channel, your projects are so unique and beautiful 🤩
The clay looks like a big piece of chewed-up bubble gum.
Now we need Martina to draw a Bazooka Joe style giant wrapper.
Actually it looks like that weird shite mcdonalds calls beef😁
I've been showing my 62 year old mother your videos and we are both in awe of how intelligent, creative, talented and amazing you both are. You're funny, stumble over words sometimes which I do pretty much all the time 😅 watching your videos feels like proudly watching old friends create beautiful art. Just wanted to leave this comment here. Big love Martina and Hansie we love your videos! 🕉️🤍
Exceptional film making, on point story telling and it's also extremely informative. Deserves a billion views!
Being crafty instead of a software developer. I felt that in my soul.
Really like the “team” vibe by having both of you.
Ok, easily one of the coolest things you've made to date, and that is no small feat. So many skills, techniques, ideas, and effort went into this and I love it. And on top of that there was something about the way you filmed and edited this one that felt different and I really really really enjoyed it
I'm so glad I looked up how to make a book bind and now I'm here geeking at your projects 😭✨
Yay! Welcome aboard! 😄
add one small controller for a breathing effect or gradual increase of brightness when you pick it up would have been awesome.
Imagine this like thors hammer when ur friends pick up the daggers they wont light up but when u do it lights up OMG
Yes! Ahaha that's awesome. And to make it more subtle, the magnet could be put in a ring instead of a glove 😃
I'm pretty sure we all just watched a full character arc with your projects and....I'm absolutely down for it! Spectacular!!
I love the dramatic workshop cleaning 😂
it takes passion, REAL PASSION, to work for hours on end to create something you love. It's inspiring.
I'm SCREAMING !!!! It looks so damn dope and goes soooo well with the final outfit ! Every time a new video comes out I'm like "nah they can't impress me more than last time" AND THEN Y'ALL DO (':
Love that Hansi appeared a lot in this video too ! Can't wait to see more !
Looks like the kind of swords where only “The One” can pull out and use haha totally amazing 😻
They rly do!
They're daggers. Even the title says daggers. Too small for swords.
I’m so tempted to try making a trowel microphone.
That cleaning montage! Hansi, you are the man!!! I mean the daggers are cool but that hammer and snippers throw right into the rack!? That's art. Now let me repeatedly smash that like button
You two are so incredibly talented! I have never seen anything like what you guys do! The variety of items you both make totally blow my mind! I'm a brand new subscriber & have been binge watching your awesome videos since I found your channel 10 hours ago! 😂 Thank you for sharing your talents with the world!
So crazy man, I move from the US where I watched Evan and Katelyn and now I live in Denmark where I just discovered Martina and Hansi 😸Y'all have so many similarities!! Of course you both have things that make your channel unique, and your own styles, but I can't stop noticing the similarities! Just two young maker power couples, that make awesome stuff, and that I'm super jealous of!!
Collab??
They turned out amazing. I love how both of you are always trying new processes and are not afraid of showing them even if you are not sure how it will turn out.
These are so cool, who needs lights when you have DAGGERS?
Adding a dimmer 'switch' might have made the effect even cooler. The closer you hand/magnet gets, the brighter it glows.
Don't know if that's even a thing though.....
Don't know if you could do it in something the size of a dagger grip but, perhaps, hall switches with different degrees of sensitivity. As the magnetic field gets stronger/closer, another switch closes lighting up another LED in the crosspiece.
@@michiganengineer8621 It would also be very cool if they put a magnet in a ring. That way they don't need gloves for it to work.
Sure--easy breezy--www.mouser.com/Sensors/Proximity-Sensors/_/N-5gej?P=1yzn9ju
The amount of work and patience that went into these awesome daggers is amazing in of itself.
I'm watching this now, two years later, after having followed a full jewellery making and goldsmithing course (with lost wax method!), and guys I have to say that I was amazed by how well you handled that being your first time! You also sanded that and polished that with the correct stuff, the same I use at the goldsmithing school, that was so good to see!
Nobody:
Martina as R2D2: 0:17
Always wear your safety sandals when playing with molten metal.🙂
Man, incredible daggers! One thing that I thought of was maybe adding a capacitor in the circuit, so that the light would come on and off gradually, instead of straight on-off? Shouldn't be too difficult to add afterwards!
The metal-casting investment powder is literally just plaster, formulated so it dissolves easier in water once you've got all the hot stuff done.
i love the way the imperfections of the epoxy make your daggers look so magical ! they give them a swirly look :D next project please !!!
I love that he’s just bronze casting while wearing socks and sandals. 😂😂😂
I think Hansi needs an armor too! Maybe a good idea for your next project ;) Love your work!
Seriously, you should make a short film that includes all of your props you guys have made. It would be cool to see a fantasy world where all of the magical items exist together!
I'm watching for it now, and the finger isn't really noticeable.
It's adorable though. Tiny little stump. Really cute.
I am always amazed to watch you turning blocks of wood into cylinders or rods without having a lathe. You are amazing.
With all your fancy costumes and weapons you should go LARPing just to assert your dominance. 😚
What is larping?
@@Anna-pj8te it is the short form of live action role playing and it is really fun to participate. It’s like pen and paper roleplay but in real life 😁
Can't wait until you make yourself a whole fantasy castle.
This was such an epic build!! I loves how the casting and the carving turned out! You guys always kill it even if you're trying something for the first time ☺️
Also, it was so much fun seeing both Martina and Hansi working on things! A true collaboration, and both of your skills brought this masterpiece to life. And your personalities gave this video life!
A switch that activates when a magnet interacts with it? This is amazing, i didn't know this exists.
And the daggers look SO GOOD!
I love the idea of magnetically triggering the lights in the dagger. Only in the hand of someone worthy the daggers will show their magic potential.
I just can't even with these guys. Everything they make is so amazing. I'm pretty sure they're elves also.
With editing and art skills like these-- this would be the sickest movie alive!!
OMG Amazing! This totally reminds me of Bilbo Baggin's sword "Sting" that lights up when Orcs and Goblins are nearby.
I got chills watching the final product shots when they light up upon touch. Incredible! I’m in aw of your talents 🙌🏼
The daggers look so cool and fit really well to your previous projects like you showed in the end! ✨
I loved seeing you two explore new techniques and how excited you were about trying them out for the first time 💕
When Hansi showed his sensor, I first thought he would use some kind of pressure sensor but just touching the daggers makes them look much cooler than having to squeeze them xD
You can really see how much fun you two had and how proud you are of your project, you made some really cool daggers!
Omg I want a story about this daggers! Who created them? What are their powers? Who are the current owner? So many questions!!!
Excellent work as always!
I love when Hansi is involved with the project.
That magnetic switch idea just opened a new path for my own project!
Thank you!
Those end shots with the full picture including the armor and forest is so cool 😮
0:17 Half squeal, half scream of death “ *yYYEEEAAAAAA* - 😵💀
Daggers lighting up : not really the best for stealth missions as a Rogue
But they look amazing
The light hypnotizes the victim causing them to be unable to look away or move. This always results in every strike being a critical hit whenever the Rogue chooses, depending upon how much suffering they wish the victim to feel. Their death could be over in a few seconds or a few minutes or hours. Having two daggers allows the Rogue to be abke to place one in front of the victim to hold their gaze while the other is used to dispatch or torture said victim. I couldn't think of a better character attribute for a Rogue if my life depended on it.! Lol
Pssst hey, hanzi, just so you know, you're totally doing it right
