Historiclly ether split it and forge weld it like you did or if you want really strong one you could use fuller tool to draw 4 blades from big chunk of metal. Also i dont think they would make handle out of steel. Steel was precious back then ,and its heavy .What people forget is that it takes alot of strength to swing this for a hour in a chainmail or plate armor.Wood handle is cheap to make and its light so mostly mace head would be made of steel with socket and wooden handle.
This one is probably three or four times heavier then most originals. In fact many of the highly decorated flanged maces were made with brass solder and the handle was thin-walled tube. They used it sometimes to store something, like folding gaming boards and game pieces (one of the maces in Vienna is displayed with original board for backgammon ).
@@petrosspetrosgali There are many reasons why maces with metal shaft were better on battlefield than these made of wood. And, in fact, most maces from XVI-XVII century have shafts made of iron/steel, and they almost always were hollow. Steel tubing of the same mass and lenght as a steel bar have far more resistance and overall rigidity...
The general idea of a mace, unlike a sword or a dagger, is not to puncture the skin. They were primarily made to fight people in armour, as swords would prove to be inneficient against armoured opponents. So the maces were made with hollow handles so the weight of the head would give more inertia to the swing, making the strikes more powerful, bending the armour and crushing everything beneath it (mainly the torso, head and extremities). The storage unit was just a big plus 😁

That was really well made! Like you, I've no idea how these things would be made historically, but to see you make that without any welds (other than to save time shaping) was impressive.
Historically, they sometimes use a mace all made of steel, but it would be to expensive and to heavy. They rather have a wooden stick and a metal head attached to it
I have seen a metal mace forged from a single lump (very historically plausible) by either "man-at-arms" (awe me) or their successor "that works". They took a bar, upset and thickened one end into a thicker square bar and then forged the middle of each side so the cross-section became an "x" and then forged the flangesout from that "x". Then they forged down the handle to make it thinner. Very cool to watch!
Really creative way to forge that all together! Great build man, although I would have loved to see a black leather wrap for that handle with a wrist strap, I’m sure you were ready to call it a day after all that forging.
That mace ended up looking FANTASTIC! It was very fun watching the creation process and you did a perfect amount of time-lapse to keep this an enjoyable length video.
This was a AWESOME accomplishment !! Looks aged and amazing and so powerful I just love it !! I love your video's and your work and your channel !!! 👍👍👍
What a great build. That mace was put together very well, for someone without the experience. Really a fantastic weapon and am going to find that movie. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So cool! Such craftsmanship! I actually ended up here from watching the movie and getting curious about the medieval mace, and how they were and are made.
Love the build. I wonder how they build this kind of items back then. It’s frightening to think that this kind of weapons were used during wars and have broken so many skulls and bones.
I've been wanting to make a spiked ball mace for many months now. Even with modern tools, I'm struggling with how it could be done. How they made them hundreds of years ago is beyond me.
A nice mace and a sword catcher dagger: This is good. What looks like studded leather armor: This is not good. You win some and you lose some, I suppose.
Thank you for doing this without welding. I've been wondering how one of these might be built and tired of all the 'historic mace' builds that feature arc-welding flanges to a tube. I am sure that was how it was done in the 15th century (I am kidding- everyone knows they were still gas-welding at that time).

Great job! 👍 You often do things from films, please make a knife from the film - Day Shift 2022 I think it will be amazing!!! 😉
I really love your videos, can you do next. Atriox chainbreaker mace in halo infinite pls :)

And it was probably a show piece. I’m pretty sure all the battleworthy maces had wooden handles

@@BlackBeardProjects where are you located? Do you fabricate pieces by request/commission?
@@tkhuet9749 the metal mace shafts were usually hollowed
Meine Mechaniker was here 🎉👏
A leather handle would be a nice touch... but Lord Sauron will definitely be pleased with your work. Well done, friend
Not quite big enough for morgoth though
A flanged mace! Awesome build sir, totally brutal

Das wohl der geilste Schdreit Kolben ever!!!👍👍👍

Those slots are genius!! I can't believe the brick did NO damage to that thing! Really cool build!!
THAT mace is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love how you did the flanges!
I love this! How you made the head is so cool, love the simplicity of the end result.
That's impressive. Simple, elegant, and ultimately functional. Can't ask for much more.
Has to be one of my favorite builds of yours. Impressive.
This is amazing!
Forge welded everything
Impressive design; well done avoiding the fin welds!
To me you made that perfectly. It just amazes me that back then they could make those weapons with barbaric equipment.
Incredible job! I love how you worked the metal! Thank You!
Awesome forging with out welding the rod and plates merging super,I like it bro
I'm all in! That was a great build! True craftsmanship, talent and hard work skills. Thanks for sharing this.
††††††††
It just baffles me how you make everything look so easy
Blackbeard: How overkill do you want your mace
Client: yes
Blackbeard: say no more I got just the thing
One of my favorite projects of yours. I feel like it needs a knurled or leather grip, but it’s brutal!
This was a AWESOME accomplishment !! Looks aged and amazing and so powerful I just love it !! I love your video's and your work and your channel !!! 👍👍👍
Wow. I am gobsmacked. That was amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Фланцевая БУЛАВА ЛОРДА САУРОНА, просто впечатляет. Шедевр мастера.
Awesome work. Perfect mace.
Absolutely amazing construction!!!! Beautiful piece!!!!
Awesome job!! Going to check out Medieval.
Turned out admixing as always! That's for sharing!
Very well made! My shop is doing a blunt weapon build this spring! I’m definitely going to use some of your techniques! BTW- That must weigh a ton!
Nice job on that mace. That one there would have been a beast. Nice historical sideline to go with it.
It's a pity for the pumpkin and the brick, but it was necessary for the sake of art. Thanks!👍
They played an honorable role.
@Black Beard Projects 😂
I really enjoyed this video 👍🏻.
You are a very good videographer. :D
Fuc@ing finally, a mace forging video without a FUC@KING welding torch, thank you so much for this vid!!!
Great work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks unreal! thanks! awesome work!
Awesome job. I’m making a flanged mace for a college project. It’s much bigger though, and weighs a bit more than I’d like lol.
If their a zombie apocalypse, this man gonna survive for sure
Great craftsmanship and design IMO.
Your work on steel is awesome. I love your video and watch it without missing a minute
awesome work, thank you for youre efforts
This is a-MACE-ing work!
That was a very neat build!
Crazy man ! beautiful
Another incredible job, my friend!
First time I see something like this weapon...well done sir !!!👍👍❤❤👌👌🥇🏆
Love the build. I wonder how they build this kind of items back then. It’s frightening to think that this kind of weapons were used during wars and have broken so many skulls and bones.
Wow that came out awesome! Nice mate 😊
Great work sir thanks for sharing.
Awesome mace very well made excellent video great content thank you for sharing five stars brother
Outstanding results, I totally dig it
Dude, very nice! super cool :)
Thats amazing! Great work mate !
Amazing skill again 👍🏻

Me encantó tu diseño y tu proceso, justamente en estos días me surgió el deseo de hacer una maza de ese tipo.
Hello mister beautifully done good job
Fantastic work! (just keep your fingers, we care about you 6:34 😉)
😁 Thank you!
Прекрасная работа! Мастеру вдохновения и успехов! 🐾
Fine craftsmanship bro!
Its awesome. +2 vs pumpkins, +3 vs undead, +4 vs people who outsource machine-shop jobs.
awesome work as allways!!!
That thing is insane!!!! Heh heh heh! Great job Sir. Wow.
You're going to get orders for 600 of those... Awesome....
Just amazing and awesome
I love how he makes a beautiful piece of art just to monkey slam stuff with it.
A mace worthy of Sauron! Like his back up shorty to his long one.
Need to send that thing to Houston Jones lol great build!
Love it man! Nice work
The pumpkin or brick didn't stand a chance! 😄
Sorry 4 the late, great job my friend ⚒
Your the man,keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
A nice mace and a sword catcher dagger: This is good.
What looks like studded leather armor: This is not good.
You win some and you lose some, I suppose.
That's awesome! I love Smashing Pumpkins too
Yep.
That'll wreck armor and bodies.
Pretty much what a mace should do.
Wonderful video. Cheers man
Next Step: Wrap the handle in a thin leather and add a lanyard in case it slips from the hand.
This is so cool my friend 😂😂😂😂
Far out, that looks good! Could wax up some yarn or use thin leather strips for the handle to finish it off. Effective, though!
You could weld the top ,because its the 21st century, but its a forging masterpiece as is 😈😈😈😈😀😀😀💙
Jan Žižka for the win :D
Great job. 👍🏻

As the old man says, “That’ll leave a mark come winter!”
Nice work😊😊
That handle is screaming for some leather :3
Amazing work 👏
great job! it's a beautiful hammer.
Aweosome job my brother
I love your work ❤️
An interesting way to make a mace. Thanks :)
Wicked...If you come at me with that thing ,I'm going to run away. A glancing blow and you're done.
That stock is holding its heat so well! You really know what the hell you're doing. Wow what an efficient process and it's chonky af hahaha
There is something elegant about such a brutal and simple weapon. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
THIS…..IS….SPARTAAA!!! …er, um…BLACK BEARD!!!!!
I love Mace Nice❤
