OK so there is some confusion even though I posted about it but it doesn't matter, due to the 'Rona I have decided to do my bit to try and keep you guys safe at home on your asses by temporarily making all the Patreon Build Videos Pube Lick enjoy!
May I just say that I’ve seen a lot of replicas of the Master Sword, but this is the first one I’ve ever seen that was believable. The craftsmanship, even down to the paint that you used on the hilt, it didn’t end up looking like a toy, which is saying something. Thank you so much. Stunningly beautiful...
Dear goddesses, pleas and how much I might be able to do $350.00 but, I have to wait for my check to get here... I would be forever grateful if this could happen
I came for the swords, but I stayed for the accent. You're work is so awesome! And I love that your videos are SO REAL. The fact you tape when you can't find stuff, or something messes up, ...and your running commentary just sucks me into the action. LOVE IT!
In response to your musings, yeah, brass is the one that is a huge pain to drill. One of the big issues is the way it chips there is a tendency for it to grab the bits and really screw stuff up, which is why sometimes you may hear some machinists talk about "brassing off" a set of bits, which refers to slightly dulling part of the bits to prevent (or at least reduce) the grabbing, then sticking them aside and reserving them for use only with brass and certain plastics.
Playing the zelda game with my mom when I was a kid is some of the best memories I've got growing up she passed in 2010 since then I've become a bit obsessed with the zelda franchise my collection is pretty fricking serious and I need this beautiful sword it would mean the world to me
Thank you Mike. So excited to see full vids without waiting for episodes! This build was especially hard to wait for. Thank you to all Patreons as well, for your support. Cheers!
For most builds i still watch the incremental uploads despite being an enabler... but i made it a point to watch this build in its entirety in one go XD
Man it's sad he only will get 3k if even that. This kind of masterpiece should go for 10k easily. So sad such beautiful craftsmanship is not worth what it truly should be worth. What an amazing job that zelda sword was. You sir are a talented man.
You're a trip lol, and one hell of a metalsmith. I'm fairly new to your channel but I've been binge watching for 3 days straight now lol. Phenomenal work buddy. Can't wait to see the rest and what's next.
great job just found your channel. I've seen your vids before on Facebook but it wasn't posted on your profile so never had a clue on how to find you as you weren't credited in the post. been binge watching lol. So awesome what you do and to be able to swing one is just as great as your skills. Wish the aluminium was polished before being anodized would have definitely added an extra detail but by all means it still turned out great without it.
Even though it is over my budget and sold it was still a great piece! this was a nice video to watch when i could not sleep. thank you so much for making this!
I don't know what process you were using to weld the aluminum but if it was AC High Frequency the waves can fry circuit boards on electronics. In welding school we used to take our phones out of our pockets and put them in a locker if we we're going to tig aluminum.
I thought I was going to be clever saying you looked like the keebler elf rather than link and then you went ahead and demolished that pack of cookies. 😂 I dont want to suffer the same fate. Amazing build and video as always.
I love your work and watching it. This build was particularly cooler for me because the sword looks awesome. That said you can make your life so much easier if you use lubricant and coolant when drilling. Good work and well done.
I used to work in metal fabrication and we could shear up tp 1/4 inch thick AR400 or Hardox as you call it and it sounds like glass metal being sheared if you can imagine that. Very uniques sound. Love your videos
Nice one this. Have to point out, welding Aluminium is just like you experienced, it doesn't flow like steel no matter how high you crank the amps, you just have to deal with it behaving like snot.
The hexagonal cross-section was replicated. It's totes accurate, like the examples in history. If you's gonna use the hexagonal cross-section, y'gotta make it have less weight so it's more effective. The diamond cross-section usually counts as bein' lighter AND sharper. The Falchions in Fire Emblem (the series) have the diamond cross-section. But the hexagonal cross-section has more durable edges while havin' the weight (like the Master Sword in the manga adaptations where it's got the weight that's heavy fer folks not chosen to be its masters).
I actually prefer this channel over man at arms because this guy shows everything that goes into making the weapons whereas the other channel glosses over alot
That is because we spell it different : Aluminum and aluminium are two names for element 13 on the periodic table. In both cases, the element symbol is Al, although Americans and Canadians spell and pronounce the name aluminum, while the British (and most of the rest of the world) use the spelling and pronunciation of aluminium.
Every time I ever sheared a piece of steel it got slightly bent. Most small shears have the blade on a hinge, the arc of blades travel during the cutting action bends the workpiece. I assume a large, industrial guillotine type shear wouldn't curve the piece.
So the tungsten ime works better on aluminum when its not too pointy, but still tapered. ill usually just flatten the tip real quick before switching over. Aluminums heat dispersion capabilities are amazing so preheating a thicker piece never hurts. I try to really melt the piece before introducing the filler rod.
Copper would be the soft metal that is a pain in the ass to work with and the aircraft bit would be use when building or repairing an actual aircraft, to get inbetween the ribs of a wing for example
Annnnd Shadiversity said because of the Master Sword's design a practical version could not exist lol, I like the guy and he is indeed an expert in many things armor and weapons from that era but the man is no smith or engineer. Props to ya!
Also looks like a baby version of the Lady Death sword, which you should also make now of course, if you already have, i haven't found that video... YET... The figures in you etched in would be cool with niello, not sure if that would take or hold because of the thick metal since you heat it from the bottom, or if it would hold under abuse.
Awesome build you give lots of inspiration because of you i wanna become a metalbuilder. Do you know When you start or if you start to build the fusion sword from cloud stife fromm the FF7AC movie?
OK so there is some confusion even though I posted about it but it doesn't matter, due to the 'Rona I have decided to do my bit to try and keep you guys safe at home on your asses by temporarily making all the Patreon Build Videos Pube Lick enjoy!
Nice, thank you!
Thank you. Honestly I haven't watched nearly as much since the videos have been broken up.

I am enjoying, even though I watched all of the pieces of this video that you posted already. Thanks! Tell Rona I said hi.
From now on it will always be known as:

I wasn't sure if I heard him right. I started to think, f*ck did I miss something in Zelda I didn't notice 😆.

This is the second video of his I've seen and I bloody love it so much. The accent, the attitude and vibe is so wonderful.
Hylia is now a hyperactive irish dwarf and i will never be able to play zeldor games the same
Happy to help! If anyone wants one of these, or an all-metal Hylian Shield, drop me a line!
Dear goddesses, pleas and how much I might be able to do $350.00 but, I have to wait for my check to get here... I would be forever grateful if this could happen
Yes please I would extremely want one
I would like one of these as well as a shield. Please reach out. Looking forward to hearing from you!
In Ocarina of Time, isn't the Hylian shield made if wood with a metal facing?
I’d like a sword. How much do they go for?
There was once a keebler elf that didn't want to make cookies
SO HE BECAME A BLACKSMITH
I came for the swords, but I stayed for the accent. You're work is so awesome! And I love that your videos are SO REAL. The fact you tape when you can't find stuff, or something messes up, ...and your running commentary just sucks me into the action. LOVE IT!

How can this have a dislike, this is one of the most talented and hilarious people on the internet
Oh my god that shot of you smashing the disc of ice on your head cracked me up. Love it!!

31 Year old me: Well played...
its finny seeing you use this sword at the end, its still so gigantic compared to real swords but you handle it like its made of wood!
I physically flinched when you went at the mounted second brass thing with the angle grinder and sparked all over the blue.

@@abyssaldusty I hope so
@@codyarnold3392 me to
I'm sorry, what's this Zelda game you're speaking of? Did you mean Zeldor?
Watched the entire video and was not disappointed by the test footage. Well done.
I like that you managed to capture Link's true goblin energy with the test at the end
u mean zeldor
For small parts like those diamonds it's easier to stick sand paper ro small bits of steel with some spray glue then it handles more like a file
Thank you Mike. So excited to see full vids without waiting for episodes! This build was especially hard to wait for. Thank you to all Patreons as well, for your support. Cheers!
Thanks Mike! I seen them all before but I am very glad to watch them all again in their entirety. You’re the man!👍
For most builds i still watch the incremental uploads despite being an enabler... but i made it a point to watch this build in its entirety in one go XD
i died at 40:12 when he smashed the ice on his face 😂😂
My impatience has made me sign up to your Patreon. Damn your psychological tricks!

I used to never mix up cold blue and black oxide, but then I started watching your videos lol
52K people have watched this (at this point) and only 2K have given a thumbs up or down. ..WTF?? Great video mate, and really well done editing.

Man this made my day! Thanks so much Michael!
so, the sound of Evan filing... those iron bars are tough huh?
I love people like this exist
What a beautiful build 💯 Epic master sword sir 😎
Him smashing the ice on his face made me smash that like button.
Man, I wish he was my dad.
🤩 Impressive, awesome job you did on the Master Sword!
Little Jumping Spider at 23:00 thought you were talking too him.
true, the little guy was even looking at the two pieces when he was modeling them at the cam, little guy got lost in how shiny they were
Was looking for this comment lmao
I actually prefer this channel over man at arms because this guy shows everything that goes into making the weapons whereas the other channel glosses over alot
Zeldor is the new Canon name of the series and nobody can tell me otherwise
You should preheat your aluminum on a gas stove to the point where a water droplet instantly boils on it before welding
That is because we spell it different : Aluminum and aluminium are two names for element 13 on the periodic table. In both cases, the element symbol is Al, although Americans and Canadians spell and pronounce the name aluminum, while the British (and most of the rest of the world) use the spelling and pronunciation of aluminium.
You sir, are a Champion.
Every time I ever sheared a piece of steel it got slightly bent. Most small shears have the blade on a hinge, the arc of blades travel during the cutting action bends the workpiece. I assume a large, industrial guillotine type shear wouldn't curve the piece.
So the tungsten ime works better on aluminum when its not too pointy, but still tapered. ill usually just flatten the tip real quick before switching over. Aluminums heat dispersion capabilities are amazing so preheating a thicker piece never hurts. I try to really melt the piece before introducing the filler rod.
Copper would be the soft metal that is a pain in the ass to work with
and the aircraft bit would be use when building or repairing an actual aircraft, to get inbetween the ribs of a wing for example
this turned out so amazing great work
For those awkward shapes like you have at 21:00, I use a height gauge on a granite surface plate.
At 18:32 he sounds like Yoda
Annnnd Shadiversity said because of the Master Sword's design a practical version could not exist lol, I like the guy and he is indeed an expert in many things armor and weapons from that era but the man is no smith or engineer. Props to ya!
ok, the ice disc caught me off-guard XD
Again Michael you've blowing me away with this sword totally amazing I really loving all your videos take care, 😉😉💜💜
"Normally i use thick steel! Even for my smallest swords, but for this big project i choose a thin peice of metal! Doh
Subscribed right after the ice smash on the face. It's the little things.
Heroic Replicas... Inb4 Mike contributes one of his badass projects to Games Done Quick. :D
I was laughing when he said aluminum then he called me out lol (I'm American)
I needs it . I wants it. I will use it as part of my EDC .
One of the coolest sword yet!
After this smaller sword, I hope the next one is something huge. :)
With the Final Fantasy 7 Remake out, maybe someone will commission him to do the new version of Hardedge.
Fantastic sword!
Also looks like a baby version of the Lady Death sword, which you should also make now of course, if you already have, i haven't found that video... YET...
The figures in you etched in would be cool with niello, not sure if that would take or hold because of the thick metal since you heat it from the bottom, or if it would hold under abuse.
You a real one, my guy.
If you pored gasoline on a block of dry ice and lit it would it be hot to touch or cold?
Order more leather craft cement!!
Just did thanks!
Awesome build you give lots of inspiration because of you i wanna become a metalbuilder. Do you know When you start or if you start to build the fusion sword from cloud stife fromm the FF7AC movie?
Great video - super entertaining! Keep up the beautiful work!
Ah the classic game Legend of Zeldor
like how his shirt sleeve is shredded after the grinding disc joke...lol
I know those guys ! great build, very entertaining ...
YOURE A LEGEND.
My favorite dwarven artificer makes my favorite fantasy sword. Happiness is growing intense
1:19:30 - Those cookie making fucks owe you money, that shit was gold.
I would love to watch him design and build one of each of the weapons from monster hunter world. Mainly the switch axe
Duuuuude, amazing work.
Oh a master sword, I grew up playing Zelda great work man 👍
Copper is said nightmare metal. When it is deep and blind pray you don't bust a tool.
