I was dumbfounded and extraordinarily impressed. The fact that it actually looked magical took the realism to a whole new level. Excellent build.

    It’s amazing to see the process of something with this much detail being made real! Great editing keep that up. It’s always nice when it’s ready to assemble and the anticipation of finishing it after all of the hard work and then the real is putting it to the test against other objects and see how well it holds up and it really held up! Pretty epic all around in my opinion! Thanks for sharing another make it real and spending the time needed to make it look accurate. From the way I saw you holding it it looked like it was at least like 40 pounds of weight maybe more that you had to swing around just to test it. Though I’m really wanting to see the bond car finished as time allows it but I’m sure you guys are pretty busy so I understand completely. I look forward to the next make it real! You’ve come so far and the make it real projects just seem to be getting more and more epic and amazing! You guys I think inspire so many people watching than you will ever know!

      @@leonardhaworth5632 Eagle Claw is based on a macuahuitl. a weapon used by the Mesoamerican civilizations most notably the Aztecs. The obsidian blades, while extremely sharp were also very brittle and struggled to defeat metal armor worn by Europeans. Against unarmored opponents and animals it was very effective. The macuahuitl came in a variety of styles and spacing of the blades. The one requirement to become an elite Aztec warrior was to capture 20 men on the battlefield, so the broad flat wooden part was used for non-lethal subjugation. Sometimes the blades were left intentionally short and widely spaced apart so to deliver multiple nonlethal cuts, in order to wound but not kill. While these were pretty brutal weapons for the time period, steel swords still had a number of advantages including keeping a sharp edge and having a thrusting point that is better at defeating armor.

      @@nyquillusdillwad9119 yeh, there were a few variations. Most importantly, they tended to knapp the flakes used to make the 'teeth' (or sometimes, real teeth). Just smacking lumps of obisidian with a hammer doesn't really do it justice, especially when there are flint & glass knappers around making traditional blades and arrowheads.

      True, I did forget about that part, though (correct me if I'm wrong) steel doesn't make a great heatsink because it's not as conductive as things like the standard aluminum. It would've been pretty simple to make an aluminum ring that fits inside the wood pieces for the LEDs to mount to that contacts the steel, though. Maybe that would be a workable compromise.
