I am not sure where are you located, but the ancient swordsmiths of your place are smiling upon your works. Also I love the presence of your pets. They added to the fun of watching your hard works.
I love it but I can’t be the only one to comment that you really should wear shoes at least when in the shop. Safety is always first! Love the vid otherwise!
this is very coool. but question, are rebars actually spring matterial, or it is mroe a decorative sword that will bend over time. not mocking it, really! just curious.
without quenching it all in one go its going to be full of weird micro crystaline structures and likely stress fracture or snap in those areas eventually
“From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king... Reforge the sword.”
Looks Cool. You Have potential. Next time,try to find proper steel for something like this. Old leaf spring from truck, old files, pieces of high carbon steel that can be hardened. All this work should go to something that can actually be used.
you are right. I tried to make this sword using steel material but could not find a piece of steel so I tried to make it from rebar..Thank you your comment 💪✌️
If you can, you really should find/ make a much longer quench tank for things like swords. To properly harden better steels, it needs a more uniform quench.
Wow, it reminded me of my uncle's forge, which he inherited from my grandfather, who made horseshoes for his neighbors' horses in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Same materials, same rural environment, same skill. Greetings.
The following may not seem like positive criticism but it is so intended. You have made a beautiful “sword-shaped object” or “wall hanger” as they are known by those with some knowledge of swords. Rebar is one of the worst steels you could have used. It will never harden properly and will not be able to hold an edge. As others have said, try an old leaf spring from a fairly heavy vehicle, preferably an older one (better steel) which you can probably find for free. Quenching properly is critical in making a durable blade- in particular do not water quench. That cools the steel too quickly and will make the final product brittle. There are specially formulated quenching oils but used automotive oil is a perfectly good substitute. Don’t use vegetable oil of any kind. ALL OILS ARE FLAMMABLE SO TAKE GREAT CARE WITH THEM; use long handled pliers or tongs to plunge the blade into the oil. A piece of pipe supported vertically with a sealed cap at the bottom is much better than a trough. Plunge the whole blade (but not the tang!) into the oil all at once and move it around to displace the vaporized oil bubbles to prevent brittle or soft spots. You don’t want to temper the tang or the transition from blade to tang so that they remain soft instead of becoming failure points. Optimally you want what is called a “spring temper” which will leave the steel somewhat softer than your average knife, but when it bends during use (and it *will* bend) it will return to its original shape instead of taking a “set” like that piece of rebar had. The trick there is to heat it just until it gets that blue surface sheen without glowing. That heats the inside of the blade to the spring point. The blue color polishes off easily without harming the blade. Leaving the transition soft will let you cold-hammer the sword back into shape. If you spring temper the whole sword you will have to heat it to prevent the risk of cracks, then you will have to re-temper it. By the way, you will know when the sword is hot enough to temper when a magnet will no longer stick to it (actually it should be a little hotter but that’s close enough). You don’t really need fancy temperature controls to do this-sword makers did without them for centuries. The blade should taper in thickness from the hilt to the point by about half. That moves its center of mass toward the grip making it more nimble without greatly sacrificing cutting ability. Leaving it the same thickness for its full length gives it more “authority” in cutting but it will feel clumsy. There’s nothing wrong with your brass crossguard as long as you used silver solder. Other solders are too soft and make a poorer mechanical bond. It can delaminate if you used plumbing or electrical solder. The transitions from blade to tang should not have sharp internal corners. They concentrate stress from blows and the sword can break there even when it is properly spring tempered. Leave a four or five millimeter radius there. It makes fitting the crossguard and grip a little more complicated but is worth the effort. The wooden grip should be somewhat flattened so that you can feel the orientation of the blade. That makes you more confident in the cut. Oval is better than round or squarish. A metal pommel is far better than a wooden one. Hollow is better than solid to achieve a good balance. Yes, it’s way more complicated but again, is worth the effort. Finally, your finishing skills are quite good. Anyone should be proud to hang that sword on their wall, but again, it should not be used in sparring or a real fight, and even the test cutting you did is risky. Please, don’t be disheartened by what I’ve written here. My hope is that you will make swords that are functional as well as beautiful.
It is better to make it from steel than from iron. But the rebar I used was a part removed from a bridge, and the rebar used for such construction is very strong...Thank you your comment❤️
This sword was created for the purpose of making a video for the youtube channel and this is an attempt to make a good finished sword. Thank you your comment💪
Thank you your comment ❤ This steel rebar has very good hardness. After the hardening process it becomes hard .This steel rebar is a piece of steel rebar left after building a bridge.
Pfff ! Bricoler ça à partir de fer à béton en acier "à ferrer les ânes", je veux bien, mais si l'objet final ressemble à une épée ce n'en est pas une : IL MANQUE LES TRAITEMENTS THERMIQUES. Salut et fraternité*
Thanks for your comment comment 💪 This piece of iron is a piece of iron removed during the construction of a bridge General, rebar used for lage constructions contains more carbon. So this is generaly strong
@@Thefreedomcraftsman No, re-bar is absolutely NOT hardenable. Re-bar is specifically designed with extremely low carbon and low alloy so that is can never become embrittled from building flexing. You really don’t know anything about engineering or science do you?
Not to mention that abomination of a pommel he built with a piece of wood and a nut hammered inside. Swing that around much and when the wood or the nut gives way that crappy blade will fly across the yard. Basically it is just a sword shaped piece of work hardened rebar that is going break and get someone hurt.
So many trashy comments... He is not going to use that sword to wrest on none's neck, and either for war proposal. This is just a TH-cam video showing someone's work, it's not an actual method of making a historical piece or either an accurate weapon to wipe someone's life...
@@serafim0021 He is an individual claiming this is a How To video of sword smithing then by all means he should be showing the proper way to do it. The fact you commenting to defend him on his shit technique just proves you are all the more stupid for promoting improper forging and smithing technique. Go away basement dweller, you are not needed here. Go play warcraft or something.
¿Can u do a better sword? ¿Or at least can u do it by yourself? Bro's having fun doing the sword in the way he knows, even if he knows that isn't the proper steel to make something like that Just let bro be happy

In my opinion, the results of that sword came out flawless. A sword with a simple yet beautiful design.

@wesleytheanonymous3751 ok? Are his tools there? It's a shop. By the way. Good argument, fucking yogurt brain.
Sir, you are a true artisan
Thank you ❤️

Great work... But I have to admit that water quenching looked a little sketchy

That took a lot of time to make this fine piece of art, right? Awesome, brother. Got a thumbs up man, and +1 sub.
It took about 12 days to make this. Thank you your comment ❤️💪

Thank you very much for your comments ❤️
Very satisfying ❤

Nice, I think I would have poured some lead or pewter into the pommel to help counter balance the blade.
Thank you ! your comment 💪
Hello! I loved your video. I have a question, what grinding machine disc did you use at minute 3:28?
Thank you for your comment💪. 3:28 The video shows the grinder making a curved shape from the middle of the sword to the edge.
Beautiful!❣️

Does iron rebar hold the edge ?
Thank you❤️
Can hold the edge before sharpening it. Finally sharpened it.
No, rebar is soft low-carbon iron, it is NOT hardenable . This is wall art, nothing more
