In that guys HUD he got a message: "Blacksmithing skill increased to level 2"
bronze? hahaha make rune pls

Why are people talking so much about the quality of steel swords on a video about bronze swords?
because 57% of online commenters can't help but go off-topic immediately

Did he say "its like blood, better than blood"? lol
+Stefanos Pleros It requires to be tempered in the blood of the enemy clans, so it will hunger for them D:

Andrew Nelson xD
August Early yeah xD
+Equilibrium i guess watching it clot and lump together could remind one of blood, but it is a much more involved process than stabbing a guy
Awesome! Wish this was more content like this... so much forgotten history.. so much to appreciate.
Thank you ! now i can slice my cucumber with this !
I really really wish we could live on those days and make swords for battles
Very nice!
I remember watching this 7 yers ago. Anyone from 2020
As for folding, it was done to even out the carbon and impurities. The impurities are broken into smaller ones that won't weaken the blade as much. More advanced smelting techniques meant that folding became unnecessary in many cultures. Plus, inclusions of oxydes and coal are added at each folding. Folding too many times, it becomes useless because the layers are thinner than atoms. The number of layers are the powers of 2, which means folding about 10 times was the most commong thing to do.
They didn't do it that way at all. They would build a furnace, half buried, with a higher and lower hole. They would melt the bronze in it (usually from the ore). The higher hole would lead to a large "pit". When the bronze was melted they would open it to get rid of the floating slag. Then they would open the lower hole, that would lead directly into a mould. The Bronze would directly pour into that mould, without any slag since it was already gone the other way.
This process is probably responsible for the legend of drawing the sword from the stone.
"It's like blood, it's better than blood." That guy is a vampire.
Are you kidding??!! If old craftsmanship such as traditional smithing dissapeared, you can't get it back. The level of tradition, craftsmanship, art and experience that goes into these ancient crafts is priceless. Thats why it's so important that we as a race preserve these crafts. Japan held onto their traditions during the meiji restoration. If they hadnt there would be no popularity of samurai, ninja etc. Many traditions would have been lost. Youre obviously very young and have much to learn.
yes, Neil is my hero
Huh. I thought everything with a cutting edge and a handle was banned in Britain.
They are creating a Bronze Age style sword, that is a long time before Britain was ever a thing.
They're making it in modern day britain.
Celery God Oh, that's what you meant. Well, it still is a sword made for either historical researching or collecting purposes, so it would be perfectly fine
It was kind of a joke based around the fact that the U.K. is inventing new terms like knife violence since they banned everything except knives. People who originally were just gonna shoot someone (a cleaner less painful kill) now are forced to stab or slice them to death (a rough, bloody, painful kill). Now ask yourself, some dude's in your house about to kill you with something, would you rather it be a gun or a knife?
Celery God In what awful fucking neighborhood do you live that people just come into your house to murder you?
Have you tried locking your door?
And if I had the choice, I'd choose neither, ideally. Doesn't really matter
Psshh that fire ain't got SHIT on Mordor...
Do you even mordor bro?
One does not simply Mordor.
Steel is not necesseraly harder than bronze.
Bronze was known for a long time, so hardening techniques, smelting and so on were of very good quality. Iron required much higher smelting temperatures, and the hardening techniques are different. It took quite alot of time until steel actually surpassed bronze in mechanical properties (other than weight). In some cultures it had already happened...
I think he's talking about Britain though.
That depends on many factors.
Grains only form when the metal solidifies, and increase in size from that point (mostly, austenitisation is enough in steel to reform new grains).
If you cool it slowly, you can still avoid having large grains. Also, a heat treatement can fix them problem. Bronze would require a heat treatment to form precipitates.
Neil Burridge is the man to go to for bronze age tools.
yes, it used to cool down in a plastic drain pipe.
Why ???
The video was so much fun until then!!
They weren't folded more than 16 times if I remember correctly. This makes 2^16, meaning 65 536 layers. You're just mistaking the number of layers with the number of folds.
It's the study-killer... I started at carnivorous plants, then went to praying mantis eating a mouse, then how hot dogs are made, then friction welding, and then this. And I'm probably gonna click on that "forging a katana" video if someone doesn't stop me. I have a project due in 5 hours I haven't even started......
what is the crucible made of
Clay
*****
And ? I didn't saw your comment too so... ^^
Now does the carbon in casting come from the cast itself? I heard the carbon makes it brittle but it also helps high carbon metals retain a deadly sharp edge, sort of a trade off. That's why the whole folding process in certian eastern swords made them so special. Using high and low carbon metals to craft a blade that wasn't too brittle and still sharpend to a menacingly deadly edge.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they misspelled the name in the description. It's Neil Burridge, not Neil Oliver.
If you have a backyard and money for materials it is possible though. After all, forging didn't start with all the fancy stuff. But it's not something I'd recommend to do without being completely sure of what you're doing.
Weird to see how common this is around the world, this how the Yorubas used to forge swords.. The Bellows, the coal, the sound of the hammer. Beautiful
And the theme from Conan the Barbarian as soundtrack.
You just made a metal column that is shaped like a sword
This video was better than blood!
If they didn't have swords made at the time, how were they able to mold it? Also what kind of clay is used for sword casting?
thank you! Great accent!
How did they finish it and polish it? I know modern forges use grinders and what not but how dod they make such beutiful sword back then?
Yes, people who feel the need to come and leave pointless comments about katanas. Does it not matter that there's 1000 to 3000 years between these two swords ?
The process of receiving the spirit
And being made into a sword of the lord
So that's how you make saber's A++ rank Excalibur!
I do this every damn day at my shop I work at....they make this seem way easier and simpler than it actually is. There's so many technological advances we have implanted in today's society.
"Your skill in Blacksmithing has increased to 300"
I think the way that the Japanese Sword, the katana is made, it makes them way stronger comparing to this one. This one looks like if you are not careful enough, it would break apart.
Iron age tech beats bronze age? Who knew?
(Technically, bronzes are superior in hardness to iron, and is far easier to forge but iron is far more abundant and harder alloys such as steel, as in the katana, eventually replaced bronze for practically all purposes. This took many centuries.)
Also, what looks like cracks in the blade are likely just a result of the mould.
If they could make bronze sword this easily then they could produce a large amount of these sword before they could make a katana. Often enough, quantity beats quality.
loriziell does not
loriziell ***** The main reason iron is used over bronze is that iron is cheaper and more abundant. Iron is the most abundant metal on Earth per unit mass, whereas copper and tin are relatively quite rare.
Consequently, being able to smelt iron means quantity *and* quality when compared to bronze.
You just made my day.
1:43 that's Chuck Norris's morning coffee.
bronze was the hardest metal before humans found iron and siler and the other metals
Look for yourself, Japan had bronze 1500 to 2000 years after Europe, and steel close to the same time period. This means that for 1500 years minimum, while Europe was using bronze swords, Japan still was in the stone age.
The katana was late in technology and quality, and mostly wasn't used as a main weapon.
Now i want one
Doesn't a sword requires you to fold the metal multiple times to get hundreds of layers and make it more durable?
I done this work at school and wathed your vidieo at school it's our topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super cool.
i bet you're a blast at parties.
What are the pots made of where they put the melted bronze in?
I wanna try that!
Why is this video linked to every other video i visit?
85 more levels and you can make a daedric sword!
HEAR HIM SAY GROOV "GREUV"
2:52 i felt that in my teeth.
i think it was amaizing
Everyone its the struungest meetal....i realy like that acsent
no its not, you should try to drink some it tastes very good
No, thats not true, it does make it harder, re heating and dumping it in water creates a drastic temperature change making it harder than before, those weaons used by this process are called cold steel weapons
0:31 The hardest metal of the ancient world? I'm pretty sure the Chinese were making steel swords before/when bronzes was being used in Britain.
Actually no, the chinese seem to have had access to iron after Britain, though the periods are very loose since it's hard to know exactly and it takes time to spread around the whole 'country'. Also, meteorite iron was commonly used long before that. But I think the sentence wasn't very well thought out, since some cultures of the ancient times already had iron/steel.
***** Then it's later than the british iron age.
Why would you think that ? Some cultures had steel for many centuries before China and while many cultures invented different ways of improving their swords, it's very hard to say which one is the best, especially due to a whole load of factors.
what is the best ratio of copper to tin to make the best batch of bronze?
When you say highland sword isn't that actually referring to a claymore and not a longsword?
He forgot to enchant it.
hes an ancient metalworker.
he must be really old
How did they make the clay moulding?
gotta love the narrator's scotish accent!
"molds were made of stoon or clay, in this case, to cast something that was unknoon before bronze came along, a sord"
stoon o klee
@@Tom_Quixote thanks for replying to my 11 years old comment 😄
Dude, thats better than blood!
The making of Brave 2.
funny how that is a very iron-ic sentence.
this all are guys are super
2:44
blacksmith elf and human swordsman >:3
they got smith 99 skillcape now
It was this that led to all out war
Casting steel wasn't used historically though. Today it completely depends on the quality they try to achieve. Maybe you bought bad quality swords and knives. Or maybe they simply were made of cast iron.
Or maybe he'd forge an metal item of the shape of its intestine.
Let's call it a metal alloy...
What is heavier a kilogram of steel? Or a kilogram of feather.
wish i could be a blacksmith, making weapons not for war but for fun~
My english is so bad that i understand better the scottish people than everyone.
Is it not better to forge it than pouring it?
What about Pernix and Virtus!
"That's not good enough!"
SMEAGOL AND DEAGOL
Well hello, is that Pippins voice?
1:52 DRINK IT!!!
Is this Orik the dwarven king narrating?
I like it
Well, in ancient times swords were nowhere as usefull as spears/pikes, etc and were not used that often. More for show even. Pole weapons are easier to use and were quite popular in any times in many variations actually.
when i was 6 my dad did that and when it wasnt red anymore i thought it was a cup and when i tried to move it my fingers sizzled and stuck to each other thats how bad i burned it
it seems to be very fragile i think it would break easly but maybe im wrong
Well Thats Bullshit xD the beggining the glove caught on fire dont lie
Gotta admit, I had a goofy smile on my face during the pouring of the ore and reveal of the sword. It was very easy to get pulled into their infectious enthusiasm. Excellent job!
To be pedantic, that's no ore, that's an alloy!
Copper Ore looks nothing like that at first, and also going from ore to a bar of tin is quite a process, when you combine the two refined metals, then you'll get that!
+siouxsettewerks copper ore is malachite. malachite is green.
Well, what do you know? I learned something.
so true
Reminds me of my early days in Lumbridge.
i'm never gonna finish my homework...
Did you finish it yet?
he hasnt
Me too
Neil is a great artist......... Amazing how effective and good bronze weapons really were.. And some of them were way above any sword since in beauty...
Funny I thought one of the guys sounded kind of like Niall Horan. A lot of people mispronounce his name "Neil". :D
Your Smithing level is now 5.
crichton55 It starts at 15 bro! Lol
Not if you go by Runescape standards.
"better than blood"
what
I think he thought that the molten bronze looked kinda like blood, then said "better than blood" as to say it looks cool, glowing all red hot and what not.
When you accidentally reveal your lust for blood #justvampirethings
yeah wtf, nothing is better than blood
Better than blood says the Scotsman
fake a sword cant be liquid thats impossible
Shadow Warrior Don't take bait.
Cyborgslayer404d bait?
Do you even grammar bro?
I turned my liquid cum into a sword, so yes. its possible
U R so stupid...Do u even get educated?
The accent though....
PW Bandara "MERIDA!!! NUU SHARP OBJECTS"
Mr Burridge was they guy that sent Skallagrim a bronze sword for hardcore testing, right?
Yep
😁
As well as Thrand.
noone as far as i know makes and sells better, and also more accessible swords than neil, he is THE one man to approach for any european or near eastern bronze weapon or tool.
