Getting a Perfect Finish on a Carbon Fiber Sword

- The final step for the carbon fiber sword is to even out the finish with epoxy, sanding and lacquer. To display the finished piece I designed and 3d printed a mounting bracket.

What an artist!
Just found your channel. Wow, just love your eye for detail. You definitely got a new subscriber!
Thank you, glad you're enjoying the projects.
Very impressive! Great job.
Great work as usual!
Thanks!
i think you would sell every sword you build, like this one.
Amazing attention to detail and incredible result!
Awesome! I got friends at Weta Workshop, and I don't remember them mentioning using carbon fiber in thei props :P Cheers from NZ
"EX- ... CALIBUR !!!"
Saber, probably
well done! great video
Thank you!
Great job and an amazing finish.
Carbon fiber katana next?
thats pretty rad
Beautiful finish. :D
:)
Looks great.
there is no way to shape carbon fiber to make cross-guard like this. I mean, except Lindy Design Lab :-)
When you said you put the first epoxy coat on was that just resin or with hardener?
damn looks great
Does the carbon sword strong or does it easy to break?
Looks great, but man I hate that weatherstrip adhesive. All it wants to do is make strings that go everywhere. I like the pot of barges contact cement, I apply it with cheap paint brushes for detail work.
Yup, would do it that way in hindsight.
What kind of epoxy resin are you using? In your previous video, you also just used epoxy resin on the fiberglass mat, and just took the extra time to wet it out right?
Ez Lam from ACP composites, longer working time version. Yes, it was a pain to wet out since the binder doesn't dissolve in epoxy but fine.
@@LindyDesignLab thanks for the quick reply! I assume the longer working time helps too, instead of regular fiberglass resin that sets up so fast
You said it isn't sharp, but I'm curious just how strong is a carbon fiber sword? Is it as tough as a wooden sword? Or would it fall to pieces with one good strong wack?
Depends on how solid the thing you need to wack. Better tactic is to stick them with the pointy end.
@@LindyDesignLab I would agree. I think it would be cool to try and replicate Kirito's sword, The Elucidator from sword art online with carbon fiber. Since the swords basically black with a kind of shine to them. swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Elucidator
I would buy the sword
Mussy Design how much would you buy it for?
Love your voice
