Do you like Samurai Armour?? Answer YES or NO below!
Drawbridge Props & Armoury yes very much so.
yes
Absolutely yes!
I've always been curious of how and why it got modernized.
From using straw to possibly metal chest armor and brigandine system?
Would love to see that „crazy spiked gauntlet“!
Yup
The greatest sword ever hands down
Anduril would like a word
This video is a creative idea. Im 14 and i love the original conan from 1982
So glad you found my channel. Are you going to work in the movies?
Out of all the swords in movies this sword was always my absolute favorite. You did one heck of a job on the sword. It looks awesome. The beard is awesome to.
Thank you very much!
I have always loved the Conan the barbarian series I even liked the movies
Me too !
Awesome repair on a Sword that stands out from the rest.
My D&D dwarf is jealous of your beard.
4 years on they are still the coolest beard beads 👍
Thanks!
“Not men, not women, not beasts.”
This, this you can trust.
Don't be frustrated. Your beads ARE the coolest. I like them and I want to copy them for myself. Greetings from Germany and go on making great stuff.
Copy away!! And post pictures on Instagram with @drawbridgeprops so I don’t miss the post.
Love the restoration job on my favorite sword!!!
Helpful for cleaning my conan sword, just ordered the product thru amazon
Awsome! I am a realy big fan of Conan, both those movies and the old cartoons!
Yes!!! Crasy spike gauntlets!
we often play the soundtrack while we work....
You beard beads are uber Levi!!
I've forwarded your WIP video to most of my bearded friends, don't worry it'll spread soon!
And thanks for that on point video today!!
I just picked up an old broken Montante and I'm making a dagger and an Katzbalger out of the remains. This video is a godsent!!
Thanks!
I love when things are well timed!
Seriously impressive workmanship bro!
I'm making swords out of wood by hand. Finnishing them exactly like that. Or when repair mistakes.
I would like to make them the old way out of metal, allso.
This is the best designed sword ever.
Nice
@@DrawbridgeProps
Thanx. Merry Christmas and a happy New year!
Loved this, I have a bit of rust on my skorpion king sword from when I lived in Florida. Totally going to use this to try and fix it up. I’ll take it very slow though lol
Glad I could help.
Fantastic job on that blade. Well the beard beads are pretty damn cool, and really style up a beard for sure! 👍👍😎
Thanks.
@@DrawbridgeProps 👍👍
That's a beautiful sword
It is beautiful indeed. It was a pleasure to have it in the shop for a bit.
Who made the sword, Marto, Albion ????
Great work, regards from Germany
Thank you very much!
I haven't even bought my first sword yet (though I have one from when I was a child 40 years ago), but this is a great tutorial! - Looking into buying the Conan Atlantean sword soon! - Also, GREAT BEARD BEADS!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hahaha. Love that you went out with those. They’re awesome. Excellent beard.
It was fun for sure:)
thankyou for the restore the sword thakyou thankyou
The beard beads have this strange hypnotic effect.....must like videoooo......must subsri......wait I'm already subscribed. That is one of if not the most iconic movie blades ever! Nice restoration job dude!
They sway a little when I talk... it's a bit weird feeling but I'm getting used it it. Thanks!!!
Great work. Crom is pleased.
Great job! I own an Albion Atlantean sword and I have some minor rusting. Way less than this one but some nevertheless. I may just try this method myself!
Suprman, I have the Albion Atlantean as well. After about 20 years or more I also have some very minor spots, not nearly as bad as seen in this vid. Yes, I periodically oiled it. I suppose dust landing on the oil was the culprit. I might try this method. By the looks of it, the 320 grit is the secret to preserving the grain of the blade. Did you try it yet? I'd like to hear your experience.
I’m buying an Albion Atlantean sword this year (9 to 11 month wait period) can’t wait but nervous if this happens I’m on the other side of the world
Hi Buddy, pretty good job on this ATLANTEAN blade. You are right to mention that the blade will rust if stored in the original wooen box, where the leather is near the tip. I got an Atlantean and store it out of the box. - Very cool to seeyou polishing with that 320 Grid sand paper , interesting! Cheers, Erik
Glad you enjoyed it.
I guess they started doing the swords differently the box mine came in of course I got number four it didn't have any leather other than just around the grip didn't have any around the blade or anything like that I've had it stored in the original box I guess 15 years or more I guess. I do get it out in oil and every now and then of course the first blades were made of different metal than the ones later on. When I got the atlantean the blades were made out of 5160 spring steel. Cool sword though always wanted it, Cobb did a great job design it as far as looks go.
Some Dollar stores like Daiso in Richmond BC sell large desiccant packs. I have them in my SCA garb to keep them from going moldy when in long term storage.
Most shoe stores will give you a bunch for free. MEC gives us as many as we want.
my dream sword i already own the windlass versions nice vid tho
Its interesting my atlantean didn't have the leather lining in the box. I got it when they were first being made. Number 4. Its made from 5160 spring steel. No rust even to this day 23 years later. Ive kept it oiled but its been in the original box for the whole time other than me getting it out to oul the blade. The father sword does have the leather lining in rhe box but i store the sword above laying on the wood like the atlantean.
Keeping swords oiled is imperative. Good job on taking care of such fine objects.
I'd fix those leather pads in the shipping box because if the client is using that for storage he's setting himself up for more damage. Also, is it better to hang it or store it?
I like to hang my swords.
all you really had to do was band it against a rock, that's how rust comes off
niceeee
Thanks
I heard putting fingers on blade can oxyde it, carreful.
This is why i went for Marto one, perfect to put on a wall. No rust.
Do a full set of lamellar armour
Nice work
With that sword, what's the best way to lighten the bronze hilt. I don't mean a lot, but just a little so the higher engravings stand out a little more. Just polish?
Have you ever made a gauntlet that you put on TH-cam
wao... so is possible to bring my sword back to live. I´m living in a tropical country and the weather is brutal with collector items. there is so much rust on my sword and didnt want to touch it, being afraid to make more damage to it. gonna try with the less abrasive product and try to get her in its glory. thanks for hte video (hahaha my thumb up was the #666)
Just wondered if you would build a Scottish basket hilt claymore?
Hello everyone,
Is this sword a battle ready one?
Have a great day.
It’s a movie replica only
If you've ever actually seen one of the Albions (Fathers or Atlantian) you'll never waste your time or money on one of the repros. The Albions are milled steel. There's no other way to get that unique blade shape.
@drumsanddrumming8289 - I'm not sure you're correct... The Albion's are the top of line for sure... But most of us cannot drop $4k on an awesome decoration. Windlass in India also make exact licensed replicas... Hand forged 1080 high carbon steel full tang and properly heat treated and the bronze pieces made from the same original molds as Albion's. Not as good, but $425. I would love to get both swords from Albion... They are also the only one that make the Mother's sword. I recently discovered all this and turns out Albion is only 1hr from where I live... but I cannot afford them. I wouldn't go any lower then the Windlass... Unless you don't care and it's close enough for you, lol. But If I remember Marto in Spain originally got the license Deal and they make replicas exact but Stainless so you don't have to deal with maintenance for the wall hanger. Windlass bought Marto and makes the functional carbon steel version both for $425. Albion's are the shit... And if I remember deeper engraving on the blade, but it's rich people level, lol.
you forgot to mention what's the best way to store swords? if you hang them out in the open is that better?
Hanging is best. Point down in times of peace! Up during war!
You put some gun oil on it first. And if you're gonna store it put antique wax and wrap the blade with plastic wrap.
pro 2a ?
👌👍
Conan rolled down the cave and burn a fire with branch and leafs. Then he saw the skeleton of old Atlantis king. And he was holding a sword which Conan needs. He took it and kings skull rolled down the floor. Crom! 😂😂
Do you make replica swords or are you strictly armor?
I rarely make blades.
I know I'm 4 years too late, but I have a question...How do you avoid this? I saw there comes a point where some of the etching is still visible but to remove it would make it look even worse. Would using something like Renaissance wax or carnauba wax prevent the rusting?
Both of those waxes work great for swords.
Im going to be making a conan inspired sword in january. is that the albion atlantian sword?
Yes it is!
i m searchin for father s sword knob ( this piece only miss to my sword )! do you know if i can order it somewhere ?
I want to know how to age a sword.
You are such an awesome guy....sexy too. And the first person on YT who said "like or dislike the video, either way"....bravo, so humble and honest...so I have to like and LOVE IT.
Blushing:)
Hey I used a 140 grit on a tiny speck on my conans sword and now there's scratches on it , any chance I can get them out with a finer grit?
140 is pretty rough. From there Go 180, 240, 320, 600 and then 1500 and it will have a good finish.
@DrawbridgeProps hey man I did what you said and it fixed it thanks a bunch
Conan father's sword build?
Its a Hopper sword from stranger things?
Nope.
man the edge profile of that sword so bad. It's weird since it seems to be some sort of high carbon steel since it rusts. I would assume that the owner would actually want the sword to be usable. Amazing video regardless, keep it up!
definitely a prop sword and the owner said he would never use it to cut anything which is too bad.
@@DrawbridgeProps its strange that it is high carbon steel then. Stainless steel or even aliminium would make more sense.
Of course i am not sure if it is high carbon steel, i just assume it is due to rusting. Perhaps it could be iron or medium carbon steel aswell. Probably not iron though.
They may not have had it sharpened because it don't come sharpen you have to request that it is. It's about $100 extra. They did an excellent job on mine it feels razor sharp. Course I got earlier version the blades made out of 5160 spring steel it's number four.
Если ржавеет. Значит, это Сталь.😅
True
U
People, ignore this guy. Don’t do this to any knife!!!”
Thanks
Rate ? INDIA, Mizoram. delevery pls..
Smack it on some stone
Too much talking... Than action
You know what you’re telling people to do is totally wrong and is damaging their items. There is a right way to do it but I’m not taking my time to explain it to you. Why did you not Pay $ to some experts to teach you? Simple greed or do you think you already know? Well you don’t and you should be ashamed.
Thanks Kim!
Any sword that does not come sheathed is not worth buying... this is the Toledo special edition..... don’t buy one
That will be 500 dollars lol
