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.
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.
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.
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.
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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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 !!! 👍👍👍
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.
Actually, from my understanding your construction is fairly close to the way they use to make them. The only thing missing, from my understanding is they would often employ a form of brazing to make the connection solid.
Amazing design. Would probably be able add flux and heat up the entire head at once to try and get a better forge weld across the entire thing. Would Also be Cool to temper and make the blades out of damascus. Awesome Project.
Beautiful build..the only thing i wonder about is how heavy it is..maces were designed to crush plate armor,but swinging that for hours would be quite difficult sir!
@@justinkedgetor5949 they were also not weak ass fatties like most people today, that the only heavy thing they lift throughout the day is their own lard asses...SMH
I really do wonder how difficult it would be to take that bar after splitting it and making a type of basket weave mace. Not sure how sound of an Idea it would be, but it'd be a first if you do it.
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).
I always imagined this was made with a large fuller on some fat bar to create the flanges Then the centre punched and drifted out for the handle to be inserted
amazing job mate, i was wondering about the dimensions and precise cutting, did you create a paper pattern for it or did you take shape out of historical foundings?
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.

Great job! 👍 You often do things from films, please make a knife from the film - Day Shift 2022 I think it will be amazing!!! 😉

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

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
Meine Mechaniker was here 🎉👏
Those slots are genius!! I can't believe the brick did NO damage to that thing! Really cool build!!
That's impressive. Simple, elegant, and ultimately functional. Can't ask for much more.
A flanged mace! Awesome build sir, totally brutal

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!
Das wohl der geilste Schdreit Kolben ever!!!👍👍👍
Has to be one of my favorite builds of yours. Impressive.

They played an honorable role.
@Black Beard Projects 😂
Scary mace.

I'm all in! That was a great build! True craftsmanship, talent and hard work skills. Thanks for sharing this.
††††††††
One of my favorite projects of yours. I feel like it needs a knurled or leather grip, but it’s brutal!
Yep.
That'll wreck armor and bodies.
Pretty much what a mace should do.
To me you made that perfectly. It just amazes me that back then they could make those weapons with barbaric equipment.
Nice job on that mace. That one there would have been a beast. Nice historical sideline to go with it.
Absolutely amazing construction!!!! Beautiful piece!!!!
Great craftsmanship and design IMO.
Me encantó tu diseño y tu proceso, justamente en estos días me surgió el deseo de hacer una maza de ese tipo.
Now change the handle with steel cable and wood for the grip (should longer than the cable) so it reduces shock but still save in the hand.
Фланцевая БУЛАВА ЛОРДА САУРОНА, просто впечатляет. Шедевр мастера.
THAT mace is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love how you did the flanges!
Your work on steel is awesome. I love your video and watch it without missing a minute
First time I see something like this weapon...well done sir !!!👍👍❤❤👌👌🥇🏆
Awesome mace very well made excellent video great content thank you for sharing five stars brother

Impresionante.
A mace worthy of Sauron! Like his back up shorty to his long one.
I love it makes me think of Suron
Great work sir thanks for sharing.
I'd love to see this mace used on a ballistic gel dummy, like they use on forged in fire.
Awesome job!! Going to check out Medieval.
Amazing design. Would probably be able add flux and heat up the entire head at once to try and get a better forge weld across the entire thing. Would Also be Cool to temper and make the blades out of damascus. Awesome Project.
Wow. I am gobsmacked. That was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible job! I love how you worked the metal! Thank You!
Прекрасная работа! Мастеру вдохновения и успехов! 🐾
parabéns. ficou sho.
Complicato e difficile. Complementi
Impressive design; well done avoiding the fin welds!
Great mace I would love to be able to smash things with it
Next Step: Wrap the handle in a thin leather and add a lanyard in case it slips from the hand.
bạn thật khéo tay 👍
Beautiful build..the only thing i wonder about is how heavy it is..maces were designed to crush plate armor,but swinging that for hours would be quite difficult sir!
I believe the average weight would be around 3 lbs
@@thewanderer1317 3 lbs is like double a historic mace weight unfortunately. A solid wooden handle will cut a lot of that weight or hallow metal tube.
@@justinkedgetor5949 they were also not weak ass fatties like most people today, that the only heavy thing they lift throughout the day is their own lard asses...SMH
Awesome forging with out welding the rod and plates merging super,I like it bro
Jan Zizka 💪😁
It just baffles me how you make everything look so easy
Fantastic work! (just keep your fingers, we care about you 6:34 😉)
😁 Thank you!
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.
Need to send that thing to Houston Jones lol great build!
If their a zombie apocalypse, this man gonna survive for sure
I love how he makes a beautiful piece of art just to monkey slam stuff with it.
I am curious of the weight.
I really do wonder how difficult it would be to take that bar after splitting it and making a type of basket weave mace. Not sure how sound of an Idea it would be, but it'd be a first if you do it.
A weaved ball of metal bars would make for an interesting mace head
You'd probably want the *weave* to be like half a inch or 13mm and then temper the whe thing? 🤔
You could weld the top ,because its the 21st century, but its a forging masterpiece as is 😈😈😈😈😀😀😀💙
Excelente trabalho, pena que pra fazer um precisa dessas ferramentas e eu não tenho.
awesome work, thank you for youre efforts
An even bigger challenge would be to make one solid piece.
Turned out admixing as always! That's for sharing!
Wicked...If you come at me with that thing ,I'm going to run away. A glancing blow and you're done.
Do you sell these amazing pieces?
Welding in a classical way without a welder
Very good weapon for one apocalupsis zombies very good work blessings for you me friend
Its awesome. +2 vs pumpkins, +3 vs undead, +4 vs people who outsource machine-shop jobs.

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).
Far out, that looks good! Could wax up some yarn or use thin leather strips for the handle to finish it off. Effective, though!
This is amazing!
Forge welded everything
Perfect job.
9:27 that poor pumpkin
Did you use borax to weld the blade to the shaft when you were joining them?
I was referring in welding, in forge welding, not electric welding. Thanks again!
Just amazing and awesome
I always imagined this was made with a large fuller on some fat bar to create the flanges
Then the centre punched and drifted out for the handle to be inserted
Fuc@ing finally, a mace forging video without a FUC@KING welding torch, thank you so much for this vid!!!
Круто делаешь)) давно тебя смотрю , однозначно лайк ))
There is something elegant about such a brutal and simple weapon. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
Очень круто.
