Holding a 3000 year old Sword and replicating it! 

I felt very humbled. That’s so cool that you got that opportunity in Hawaii. It just seems so unusual that they’d have something like that in a museum there

Thanks for the feedback. I I’ll try Bone inlays next time as they appear to be common

Absolutely right, I will try that on my next video 👍🏻

Thank you very much!

Glad you like it!

Thanks!

Glad to have you on board!

Thanks! Yeah I a good amount of improvements to make

The axe heads are amazing and I am planing on making a few of these. According to the curator The place of origin is Luristan

Luristan/Lorestan en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorestan_province

Well, I actually found the handle to be comfortable and in my opinion there is no need to wrap it. I also think they wanted to show off the inlays. Regarding balance, I would have to test it. But it was so light that I don’t think balance really matters. But then again I am not a soldier of Troy 😄

Thanks for the support!

The mysterious ways of the RU-vid algorythm

@@Garage_Caster True

You are so right, it is very humbling for me. I plan to make my future pieces thinner and then work hardened the edges to make cutting tests.

@@Garage_Caster Awesome. I look forward to seeing the results.

Hey! Es freut mich das es dir gefällt. Es ist auch meine Leidenschaft da es da so viele tolle Dinge zu entdecken/machen gibt! Selber sowas machen ist garnicht so unrealistisch! Schau dir mal die Sachen von Devil Forge an LG

@@Garage_Caster Mein Träumchen wäre es nen Mykenisches Schwert zu Gießen, allerdings denke ich Sprengen die Anschaffungskosten, um dieses Schwert zu gießen mein aktuelles Budget. Ich habe auch noch eine bronzezeitliche zypriotische Speerspitze (tanged nicht socketed) diese einmal als Replica herzustellen und zu einem tatsächlichen Speer zusammenzusetzen wäre bestimmt auch spannend. Hättest du nicht vielleicht Lust, sowas als Auftragsarbeit zu machen, oder sogar als gemeinsames Projekt :). Ich hätte tatsächlich auch noch ein paar Kilo altes Kupfer rumliegen, welches ich definitiv nicht brauche, das könnte ich auch zur Verfügung stellen.

@@kallebures1891 Also ich könnte das mal als Auftragsarbeit versuchen. Ich schicke dir die Tage mal eine E-Mail hier als Antwort 👍🏻

@@Ithirahad that’s a really good idea. I might actually try that in the future. I think the design of the blade is very versatile. You could even extend the crescent moon guard like a winged spear

Haha someone is immersed 😄 I am glad you like it

@@Garage_Caster You bet ya! 😆 btw that casting model u made looks real good! Is it made from wood like previous ones?

That is actually a 3D printed model made using blender

@@Garage_Caster Oh smart working! that explains the diagonal seam. I thought it looked so immaculate, like sculpted from plasticine or something!

I would love to have an actual bronze sword instead of a cheap brass replica. Bronze swords were from the age of heroes. The time where legends were not being told - were being made.

It is absolutely astounding how well the blade kept. I bet if you polish it up you might think it was made yesterday. I would agree to your theory of a short sword

It absolutely is!

@@poddmo that’s what I thought at first but it’s actually really comfortable to hold. I would love to get them tested but I am not sure they were used like more modern steel swords

Okay I get it, it’s a d not a t 😂

Uhh, not that I am aware of

That’s a really good point. I feel the same and looking back I should have made it so much thinner. For me I was worried the bronze wouldn’t fill the mold but I find it way to thick as well

I have no idea! I wonder that myself

I’ll try to do the edge on my mext project

Not really never thought there was a market for that

@@Garage_Caster of course there is, but no one does it so no one buys it

Haha thanks for pointing that out 😂
