Custom LONGSWORD (Swiss Sabre) Hand-Forged from a Leaf-Spring: Part 1 of 2 (Backyard Swordsmithing) 

This type of stuff really makes me happy. Dude using very basic tools to make something complex.

Omg how have I not noticed you uploading again?? I used to watch you yeaaaars ago! Nice stuff, man

Thanks for this video. I’ve been looking for a good hobby that I could also make money off of and I’ve always loved the idea of smithing. You are one of the few people I’ve seen that does it in a simple way without the thousands of dollars in equipment and showed it in an easy to follow way. I have leafsprings from a 51 chevy truck I’m gonna try this with.

Very cool. Proves that good work can be done even with a basic forge like that.

Cool, keep doing this sweet stuff, I have never forged a sword. I forged a dagger blade last week, it's still under finishing forging and is by far the longest blade i have made, might reach to 12 inches

Awesome!! Can’t wait for the finished sword!! Thx

I don't have a hardy hole never thought of using wood mate u absolute legend

Coming along nicely! Very much looking forward to seeing the finished sword.

Looking awesome so far. Still kind of surreal that you can just make a sword in your back yard.

Wow it’s amazing how much you have progressed

Good job yea

What was the purpose of annealing it if you were just going to be forging it again??

I thought you only did short blades and knives. I didn't know you made longswords!

You know leaf springs work like beers.. they come in two's.

Nice dude. Where did you get the yellow chisel?

By watching Forged In Fire, they recommend leaf srings prior to 1950ish so as to get pure carbon steel and to avoid modern alloys that inhibit harding and tempering for knife edges. Do you find that to be true?

I'm curious, about how long from start to finish did this project take?

Hey man love the video. What weight hammer do you use?

Hello, beautiful sword, one question, how thick and wide was the spring material in the start?

What would you want to build a similar sword?

I VERY much appreciate that you do most of your forming at the forge rather than the grinder. Watching somebody grind for HOURS is boring as hell. I'll be your very suburban neighbors hate your guts though lol.

😀😀😀👍👍👍👍10

Do you regularly suffer from tennis elbow (tendinitis)?

Sorry red chisel?

Soo much coal embers

U need more tools friend Keep on moving

This is 5160 you will get only 57 at most 59 on rc scale

Hey bro make your videos little short.. Like.. 10-15 minutes...

Just buy good material don't use junk steel

You need to refine your hammering technique
