16:10 if anyone is actually curious about this, this cut pattern wasn't caused by the arc of the swing going from low to high. it's because the handle end was higher than the tip, so he should be rotating the cut cans so the low point on all of them is facing the camera to see the path and angle of the blade properly.
blacksmith here, if anyone was interested, one of the reasons the blade snapped, was due to quenching in water. 1084 is an oil quenching steel, and since water cools the steel significantly faster than oil, this makes the post-quench grain structure much smaller and the steel becomes more brittle. the rapid and inconsistant shrinking of the steel also likely introduced microfractures which certainly won't have helped.

Nah I think this was thought out well. If they just picked a channel who makes replicas I guess that will catch some eyes but this guy, this guy is entertaining as fuck, definitely getting more attention by sponsoring this guy.
I always admire a pro who looks at an amateur's work and leads with "here's what you did well." That's somebody who loves their craft and wants to encourage others to learn it.
the reasons the 3 cans looked like they were cut weirdly is literally because the cans turned after the cut. if you rotate the cans so the barcodes match with how they originally faced, you'll see that the cuts all match up.
13:06 thank you for the conversion of units, i got a bit lost and was preparing to open a new tab but you used the freedom units, God bless you son I pronounce you an honorary American
Did you see the video where he tied a machete to his ankle with a rope, and started spinning it really fucking stupidly fast while jumping over it. That was fucking terrifying
16:20 when he swung the sword, the cans tilted to the side, and he cleanly sliced through all 3 of them, resulting in a seemingly diagonal cut in all 3 of them
@Jonathanking88 nope....you're wrong lol. You can slow down the video and see the tip of the blade is closer to the table than the handle creating the diagonal cut and the cans moved slightly 90°. It's okay that you don't understand
@@Jonathanking88 I see what you’re saying, but the cans were lined up differently before he cut them. I was so confused at first until I noticed where the barcodes were before he cut and compared that to where they were when Alex lined them up after the cut.
A lot of people seem to be completely ignoring star rail in this video. It’s almost as if they have a deep and unexplained hatred for anime so when a person they like says they like anime they just decide to completely ignore it.
8:06 Now, I'm no expert, but I think that's a swimming pool. This means it most likely contains chlorine. And, again I'm no expert but, that doesn't exactly seem ideal for quenching a blade.
jumping into the pool with a red hot sword is ass clinching levels of stupid. i was terrified he was gonna brand himself. 10/10. that laser coloring is so cool
The two older dudes are so funny. I love how they just laugh when he says he jumped in the pool with the sword rather than ask why the hell he did that.

At 16:05, the angle that the cans are cut is explained by the fact that the second two cans to the left must have tilted as soon as the first one was hit, so a straight strike through them led to the cuts appearing to be at an angle after the cans straightened themselves out
That's not what happened. the end of the blade was lower than the handle where he was holding it. the tip almost slid across the table but his hand was a couple inches above the table making the angle in the cans
I think the cans are all angled up because as he slices the first one, it dominoes a little so that the next cans are also sitting slanted briefly, so the cut is still straight, but the cans were on their sides
He just rotated the cans by about 90° when he put them back together. He didn't have the sword level when he swung, the angle is because it was pointed slightly towards the floor.
I think the cans weren't sliced in the orientation that they thought. If you watch it in 4x slowmo, it looks like all the 'peaks' are towards the camera and the 'troughs' are away, the sword was just cutting at an angle and then they rotated all the cans and assumed that the dipping motion happened. Rotate the cans all 90 degrees and it makes way more sense.

completely random gravity falls comments is one of the funniest symptoms of the revival anyway stan would ask fiddleford to help him make something like this, and fiddleford would weaponize the junkyard without hesitation
A sharp edge and a lot of weight behind a sword goes a long way to making clean cuts just so long as you keep the edge aligned properly with the target, so nice swings with that monster!

No creative freedom or no desire to act on that freedom when the whole video is already you flexing that ad freedom lol. Either way tho yeah I laughed at how quickly he blitzed through reading some of that because he was probably like "Oh yeah I forgot I need to do the ad read too. Fuck."
Actually they do give you creative freedom to talk about it, but they also give you something to read off if you don't care enough or can't come up with a read off yourself around the guidelines
Didn't expect a star rail sponsor here of all places, definitely a welcome surprise concidering i both play star rail and watch this channel. To answer how she can hold the blades, she's just canonically built different
16:11 the inertia from the hit made the cans lean on their edges -- combined with his probably slightly upwards horizontal swing, it gives the illusion of cutting upwards on each can was cut diagonally upwards
Creative, but incorrect. Turn each can 90 degrees clockwise then the cuts all line up, high side towards the person swinging, low side away from the person swinging. Consider the person swinging was higher than the cans and the downward angle makes sense. This can be confirmed at 15:58 using the barcode as your reference point compared to the orientation of the cans at 16:16 You're welcome.
Like every idat video, entertaining jokes and genuinely interesting crafting from start to finish. There's a special charm about the homebrew version that gets slapped together in a garage, but it was also really cool to see Keith forge up a new one in record time. The coloring laser was fascinating and the sword itself turned out incredible, even the clashing shades of blue ended up looking like part of the design with the perfect placement of it. As a lucky Feixiao haver who was playing Star Rail when the video dropped, you did a pretty damn good job.
10:30 I don't know which is worse, the canisters of something flammable threatening to catch a stray spark if the grinder is turned 20 degrees or so, or the dog food bowl that is definitely catching all of the metal dust as-is.
@Finn-ev2lx cap guns are a steep ask. They contain an explosive device in those little red caps. If you ask the Australian government, they're classed the same as Semtex.
Gunswords actually exsisted in history, mostly back when guns had one shot and a slow reload. Unfortunately, such weapons performed worse as swords and pistols. Axe pistols were a bit better, as you could fit a longer barrel and use it two-handed more comfortably. Still, it was generally better to carry two weapons instead.

If you take the time to describe the gun on the table, then your narrative ought to include the gun in some way. He highlighted the slug crawling on the handle of his prototypes design, and so following Chekhov's Gun he also included a slug crawling on the handle of the completed work.

I Did a Thing is the cool uncle who is always getting in legal trouble for the most random and dangerous things, like grunkle Stan.
completely random gravity falls comments is one of the funniest symptoms of the revival
anyway stan would ask fiddleford to help him make something like this, and fiddleford would weaponize the junkyard without hesitation
@blastlightstar yeah, I've done seen 2 other comments
Plot twist: IDAT IS Grunkle Stan, just before he gets old
Frr
"When there's no cops around, everything's legal!"
A sharp edge and a lot of weight behind a sword goes a long way to making clean cuts just so long as you keep the edge aligned properly with the target, so nice swings with that monster!
This is sick! Great to see Corin and Keith in the video!
why arent u top comment yet??? (or really, how)
Dollars to donuts the Honkai devs MEANT to contact Alec, but since X and C are so close to each other on an English keyboard _AND_ Alex is a more common name... they assumed IDaT *must've* been the one they were recommend to contact, purely on account of having nearly double the subscribers of Alec... 😅
_(that last part is obviously _*_NOT_*_ a dig at you, Alec; you are crazy talented lol)_
Are those the names of the stripper cops at the start of the video?
Was looking for ya!
@@JoNarDLoLz No, it's the blacksmith (knife maker) and the other guy... 🤦♂️🤣
I REALLY want to see how he conviced the guys to shoot all this "Hey um, for this scene I need you two naked! Why? No reason, just because :)"
It wouldn't surprise me if he hired actual strippers
@@juliee593 he literally says that he did
bro hired stripper cops
@@Heroo01 yeah but you never know if he's joking or not. Just like his homoerotic relationship with Aleksa, you'll never know if it's real. The man is a mystery.
reckon they were more surprised at how many of the scenes they were dressed for
10:51 Keith's response is priceless
Gives me national pride hearing that
10:48: full segment.

@@inedibledorito definitely. I love thinking that Americans are watching this and being horifyed
Huge fan of Boy Boy. You get a lot of flack from your trips from the U.S. but I always try to tell people here to lighten up a bit. You two are an absolute powerhouse in ideas and entertainment. The Avoidable War is one of my favorite videos of all time. The fact that you have this really cool engineering/smithing/manufacturing side is amazing on top of what y'all already do. I hope that Australians and Americans can realize how much we have in common some day and become the cultural allies we were always meant to be.
6:58 you can tell they gave him no creative freedom for this
I was just about to say that
He so obviously has no interest in it
No creative freedom or no desire to act on that freedom when the whole video is already you flexing that ad freedom lol. Either way tho yeah I laughed at how quickly he blitzed through reading some of that because he was probably like "Oh yeah I forgot I need to do the ad read too. Fuck."
Actually they do give you creative freedom to talk about it, but they also give you something to read off if you don't care enough or can't come up with a read off yourself around the guidelines
Well they did let him get stripper cops to arrest him while laughing
tbh i’m so for this like take the sponsor money-get your bag and give us an insane video from it, but do it sarcastically.
Stripers pools and lasers, the production value on this is over the roof.
Can we appreciate how he placed the forge outside, directly by vegetation on grass.
Thats one of the most funiest intros I have ever seen 😂
Didn't expect a star rail sponsor here of all places, definitely a welcome surprise concidering i both play star rail and watch this channel.
To answer how she can hold the blades, she's just canonically built different
i pulled up this video while playing hsr was pleasantly surprised lmao
especially because she looks anemic like realistically her fucking arm would snap like a twig
16:11 the inertia from the hit made the cans lean on their edges -- combined with his probably slightly upwards horizontal swing, it gives the illusion of cutting upwards on each can was cut diagonally upwards
Creative, but incorrect. Turn each can 90 degrees clockwise then the cuts all line up, high side towards the person swinging, low side away from the person swinging. Consider the person swinging was higher than the cans and the downward angle makes sense. This can be confirmed at 15:58 using the barcode as your reference point compared to the orientation of the cans at 16:16
You're welcome.

Love that he goes to the old masters and they knew exactly what to do and how the blade broke. Man.
Like every idat video, entertaining jokes and genuinely interesting crafting from start to finish. There's a special charm about the homebrew version that gets slapped together in a garage, but it was also really cool to see Keith forge up a new one in record time. The coloring laser was fascinating and the sword itself turned out incredible, even the clashing shades of blue ended up looking like part of the design with the perfect placement of it. As a lucky Feixiao haver who was playing Star Rail when the video dropped, you did a pretty damn good job.
Keith is a champion!
13:08 thanks for converting to sleepy times 😌😂
10:30 I don't know which is worse, the canisters of something flammable threatening to catch a stray spark if the grinder is turned 20 degrees or so, or the dog food bowl that is definitely catching all of the metal dust as-is.
Fun fact, you could grind towards those gas bottles for years with zero consequences. That poor dog though😅
The dog needed more iron in its diet. Problem solved.

Ya, you can't even own airsoft guns in Australia so that might be a little too much for those guys.
@Finn-ev2lx cap guns are a steep ask. They contain an explosive device in those little red caps.
If you ask the Australian government, they're classed the same as Semtex.

As a wise handyman once said... "I've watched ALOT of anime and trust me, your gonna want gunswords."
hmm
soos
Gunswords actually exsisted in history, mostly back when guns had one shot and a slow reload. Unfortunately, such weapons performed worse as swords and pistols.
Axe pistols were a bit better, as you could fit a longer barrel and use it two-handed more comfortably. Still, it was generally better to carry two weapons instead.
Wise AND handsome
@@Nerdnumberone and along these lines, henry the 8th had a gun mace (which he'd take out at night and look for random people committing crimes, much like batman. we know this cus he was arrested a couple times, surprisingly the cops that arrested weren't killed because what the king was doing was technically illegal)
The beer cans tilted from the sword and were simultaneously sliced, when they settled back onto their bottoms, they looked like the were all slanted

@@MaxxPwrrrChekhov's Gun is a literary principal that basically states that if you include something out of the ordinary in the detailed description of the room it should bear import to the story, exemplified with describing a gun on a table. If you take the time to describe the gun on the table, then your narrative ought to include the gun in some way.
He highlighted the slug crawling on the handle of his prototypes design, and so following Chekhov's Gun he also included a slug crawling on the handle of the completed work.
