Adam's first sword build of the year is all about sword furniture: the various housings and fittings that hold and mount onto the blade of a sword! In this case, it's for the leaf blade from Albion Swords that Adam first began work on over a year ago. From guard to grip to pommel, let's turn this blade into a proper assassin's sword!

What's the Tested address? I'm Homeless and suffering 2 deadly diseases, but I want to buy a gift for Adam Savage 3rd Gen rich person and send it down there. I want to honor our rich masters, as we do.

@jaredmehrlich6683 Год назад

I want to donate to Tested. I'm afraid Adam Savage might miss a meal. I'm very concerned about that. I don't want a membership I just want to donate. Because you don't want poor broke people like me in your chat, correct? But I do want to donate because I can't stand the thought of Adam going hungry.

@MikeUK No, I'm just annoyed that they had a live show 4 nights ago, and I tuned into watch, and the chat was members only. So I turned it off. I don't like elitist crap like that. especially from people who claim to be liberals. I received a shadow explanation.. it was BS they could simply have moderators, so the chat maintained order. Certainly, no one is going to watch a live stream. If they can't participate in chat. BTW the live chat consisted of the new Grant showing pics of his vacations etc. I caught moments as I was flipping through RU-vid. More elitist rich people stuff in our faces.

@MikeUK every single day, all I see on RU-vid is anti g4y hate speech and rich people worship. Well ok I forgot racism against bl4ck people. Which I FOUGHT AGAINST for the first 40 years of my life. Then, one day, I said I can't take it anymore and gave that up.

What are the chances you can do an episode with the artist of the “bad batch” and talk about designing in an animated world versus reality. Would love to see an animated ship come to life in a one day build. Food for thought.

@Kiesmander Год назад

I love how much hand-work you did on this, and your in-the-handle pommel thread idea is SO cool! I couldn't get a good look, but a couple things to remember about a "functional" sword: You almost never want a completely round grip - make sure it's slightly oval or squared. Additionally, if you want to check if the balance is right, hold it upright and smack the pommel. You'll be able to see the vibration wave and you want the hero part of the leaf shape to be the neutral point that isn't vibrating.

@nathanhiggins860 Год назад

Was thinking the same thing when he was using the lathe, It's going to be to round and rotate in the hand to much. Thank you Forged in Fire.

@yobgodababua1862 Год назад

He could still recover that without making an entirely new grip by putting front and back plates over the grip and securing them under the wrapping.

@yobgodababua1862 Год назад

Actually, watching further to @16:00 it looks like he did sand down the sides a bit to meet the guard, which may give enough feel to maintain edge alignment.

@xavierjimenez2053 Год назад

Absolutely loving where this handle is going. It's feels like something both well used and well cared for.

@gmscott9319 Год назад

Wow! I have to admit, I wasn't loving the sword at all UNTIL you turned the brass black. What a transformation! It went from cheezy, cheap-looking plastic sword you'd buy for your kids at a Renaissance Festival to something truly beautiful, weighty, and 'real' looking.

Watching Adam finally build himself a real sword, to his preferred feel. I love it. I've been waiting for it. Foam is one thing, proper steel is another. Probably my favourite video of Tested. LOVE the design too. Very effective. I would love to see some cut tests. That thing looks like a real "Sting"er

@dustinleebladesmith9135 Год назад

It is genuinely fascinating watching someone who is confessedly not a knife maker use a skillset and expertise from a different line of work and put it to such good use in making a sword. I would love to see what you could do in knife making and sword making with just a year of doing it full time. You're a naturally gifted knife maker by total accident, and I love it.

@n2darkness Год назад

Been waiting for the 2nd part of this build for months and it didn't disappoint! Really looking forward to seeing the scabbard. As most things look and read really well on video, it's still extremely hard to make out all the details, especially on the leather grip without some nice slow close up shots.

@grendel1960a Год назад

when I used to make re-enactment swords (viking era) we used to offset the two cutbacks where the size reduces down within the guard, and also ensure that the corners were rounded, as with a lot of use these corners are where metal fatigue can start cracks forming, if they dont directly oppose each other the stresses are reduced, but then you have to offset the two shoulders in the guard also, its very interesting seeing you doing this.

@TheMalT75 Год назад

Thank you very much for taking us along another super enjoyable-to-watch project that definitely never exceeds the 1-day build timeline! I loved how in the end the darkened metal makes this assasins blade even stealthier by reducing reflections, even though the soul of combining different metal gets a little blurred... very in-theme. As other have mentions, please lean into the idea of an assasin's tool even further. You could design a couple of additional pommels: an extendable syringe to inject poison; a detachable counter-weight attached to a piano-wire garotte; a wicked spike or even trident-like "blade-catcher" for parrying in reverse grip. Showing different available options for a utility pommel might also look great on a display stand (future part 4 of this series) 🤩

@PianosAndLightsabers Год назад

wow! This is so inspiring. This type of project is on my to-do list and I learn so may techniques here it feels less daunting. I do most of my machining with a toolbox full of metal files and a drill press and I hope someday to be able to afford a lathe or mill. In the meantime...

@collinporter1406 Год назад

i really like the filming angle you offer around the 25 min mark, it really help us see what is happening.

@lnlnd Год назад

It’s beautiful! A nice sword is always a piece of art. One thing to say: when I saw you carving the pocket out of the round handle, I felt it as I was doing that and suffering. With the wooden handle like this you usually carve the pocket for the tang first, while you have the wood flat. It’s just easier, and yes it’s usually made out of planks of wood. Then you glue halves together if you make it out of halves - sometimes, knives’ handles may have the pocket just drilled out in the middle of the piece, wide enough to provide a friction fit to be glued to the tang with epoxy. And only after the pocket is ready and fits the tang securely you shape the outer side of the handle as you please.

@Levian-Durai 8 месяцев назад

The bit with the Barge glue and skiving the leather is my bread and butter, working in prosthetics. We made sharpened knives out of 1" wide plaster spatula (since we use those anyways to make the molds). We'd use those to cut a nice straight razor thin edge. As leather working became less common, I would often suggest newer people just sand the edge down on our sanders. Smells a bit but does just as good of a job honestly, and less chance of messing up.

@sprocket2cog Год назад

I was in a medieval group that got to see period armour sets up close at a museum and we found that the real sets often had the same extra holes in the hidden back part of articulated elbows and knees, that's due to the fact that you need to fine tune them to articulate with out forming gaps a sword could pass through. The armourers back then had the same problems back then we did making armour.

For Me: This assassin's blade is like a Dirk, or a counterstrike blade. The Assasin's Blade, short-sword or gladius in the off hand plus a Rapier in the main hand equals a devastating opponent. The art of Dual-Wielding has yet to be expressed. I congratulate you Adam. The art of forming and the Art Form is expressed in one Unit. I would like to suggest the movie Rob Roy as an example.

Having been in the Navy, I still tend to follow an old "Navy standard" (Everything metal is either painted or polished). Because of this, That sword would shine brighter than a brand new coin. A whole lot of rubbing with increasingly finer grits of wet/dry, sanding paper (the black stuff) and then with increasingly finer grits of polishing compound. I know, but that's just me, I like bare metal to shine, and that fine polish reduces oxidation a whole lot too. I am never going to question this man. All he does in his shop, and all the years of Myth Busters, places him at a level I'll never even come close to. Neat sword Adam. ;-)

@deanlindholm8663 Год назад

It's not perfectly symmetrical". That my friend is the most epic example of handmade craftsmanship. Even the most subtle of irregularities that most people would never notice will tell you it's hand made. I do alot of leather work, and rather enjoy when not every stitch is perfect.

@Celebmacil Год назад

Lovely work on the blade and fittings! It might be helpful to do a wet cord binding over the leather to imprint the twine's texture on the leather as it dries, before you remove the wrapping. This can make for a very tight and even fit of the leather, as well as help to conceal the join in the leather, and gives a nice grippy texture as well.

@snorpenbass4196 Год назад

I dunno if you already have one, but if you're gonna cut in leather you need a proper leather-cutter - boxcutters like the one you used will deform the leather because it cuts in a different manner. Leathercutters are basically like small pizza-slicers, and will give you a nice, even cut without risk of deformity (which can make the sciving trickier).

a leather washer between the grip and the guard and between the grip and the pommel will help stop the guard working loose and rattling with heavy use, I am not a great fan of the threaded end, I prefer to take a tang through a pommel and rivet the end of the tang to hold the furniture together.
