I Made RESIN Daggers with Cast Metal!! 

Yes, the daggers are nice, but the EPIC CLEANING MONTAGE is the content I'm here for...

"Used to be a software engineer, now I'm in a garage making clay." I know! Isn't it great!!!

Does anyone else want them to make matching armor for Hansi? I would love to see Martina teaching him how to make his own style and then having those dramatic shots where they are fighting back-to-back. I think it would be cool to see him doing something we usually watch Martina do. I just really like when they are both in the videos cause they are the cutest couple ever!

Martina: "You know what the best part is?!" Hanse: "I think i know what the best part is!" Martina: *Excited squirminng* Hanse: "Is it the Crystal Dagger Blades?!" Martina: *Happy Banshee Noises* I love you guys's energy

"We're gonna need a handle, so I'll handle it" *both of them finger guns each other*

"I used to be a software engineer, now I'm making clay in the middle of a Tuesday" Congratulations on that upgrade!

I loved seeing Hansi take a bigger part in the action! The cleaning montage was life. And the more of the dynamic between you two that we see, the more I love you both as a couple and as a team! Keep being amazing you two!

The contrast between Martina's work and Hansi's cleaning process was cinematic gold. The pure determination, the blind behind the back tool toss into the perfect landing, the beads of sweat forming. Well done. Very well done.

The using a shovel as a microphone bit will never stop being funny to me.

Lmao “used to be a software engineer now I’m making clay” 😂

The footage at 16:44 is absolutely epic, Martina! A great job of making the daggers, but Hansi going from software engineer to cleaner to a clay technician in a single episode?!? 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great work, Martina & Hansi - you are great role-models to follow "Skjera Bagera"

Me today: I want to make a glowing dagger for a cosplay Nerdforge, psychically knowing exactly what I needed yet again: we got you covered

Possibly the coolest way to direct airplanes around the terminal.

I feel like you need to make Hansie an outfit now too... this is so cool, good job you guys! I like how the blades look like carved ice, and lighting it up from the inside is so cool. High fives all round, this rocks.

Can I just say, thank you for wearing serious and proper protective gear, particularly respiratory gear. So many crafting youtubers (particularly old school men) half ass their respiratory protective gear and its so good to see you both wearing proper respirators

Hansi, that EXTREME!!!! cleaning made the world a better place. Seldom have we seen such focus and dedication to right the wrongs around us... It brought a tear to my eye! Slow clap.... you deserve it, brother!

Every day we get closer to NerdForge becoming an actual forge

I'm living for Hansi's epic cleaning montage

Wow, these look INCREDIBLE! Also, I love your channel :D

I ALMOST SCREAMED WHEN THE DAGGERS LIT UP IN THE GLOVES, THAT IS SO SICK!!!

Love how you guys are not afraid of testing new processes !

“I used to be a software engineer and now I’m in a garage making clay” I feel that on a spiritual level, I left programming to become a nursery nurse. 😂

Seeing more of Hansi, but especially the cleaning montage, was the best part of the video! Martina is lucky to have such a supportive and creative boyfriend to share this RU-vid adventure with! ♡ By far one of my favorite videos even if not one of my favorite art projects overall. :3

They're gorgeous! They look like they've been sculpted out of ancient, blue glacial ice. So impressive, as always.

"Is it the Crystal Dagger Blades?" *R2-D2 SCREAM*

Nothing like working in a nice clean workshop! This build has everything.

Its insane how becoming so good at art can translate to all kinds of stuff

First of all the daggers are absolutely fantastic like always! The details ahh your work was absolutely worth it! Especially with the nice light touch like real magic 🤩💠🪄 Second of all I love when you two work together! It's so wholesome and you complete each other so well with great organization. It's so inspiring! Hope you guys have many many more projects to come!! 💫💟

The fact that you sound like a blacksmith from an anime makes this even better ngl.

My wife said I should tell you that she likes the music. Very important information.

You always pick such awesome music. Thank you for the high quality production in addition to the unique, engaging content.

Could you please make the “How to train your dragon- book of dragons. It is my favorite movie and I would love to see it since it is kind of similar to the other books you have made but it’s still challenging to make a replica

Their relationship with resin is the most beatufiul thing ive seen

Is it me or is this video next level when it comes to editing/camerawork/entertainment??!

Being crafty instead of a software developer. I felt that in my soul.

the craftsmanship on this channel is astounding

The high pitched scream at the start had me crying I was laughing so hard lol

In the wise words from that kid off the Incredibles, "that was totally WICKED!" Great job with this, it honestly looks sick. If I didn't love you guys so much as RU-vidrs, I'd suggest getting jobs in prop making for films 😅😁

Exceptional film making, on point story telling and it's also extremely informative. Deserves a billion views!

I'm SCREAMING !!!! It looks so damn dope and goes soooo well with the final outfit ! Every time a new video comes out I'm like "nah they can't impress me more than last time" AND THEN Y'ALL DO (': Love that Hansi appeared a lot in this video too ! Can't wait to see more !

The clay looks like a big piece of chewed-up bubble gum.

U can use castable resin for ur 3d-printer. As a dental-technican i do this every day. No need to cast from resin to wax to metal. Just straight resin to metal

So crazy man, I move from the US where I watched Evan and Katelyn and now I live in Denmark where I just discovered Martina and Hansi 😸Y'all have so many similarities!! Of course you both have things that make your channel unique, and your own styles, but I can't stop noticing the similarities! Just two young maker power couples, that make awesome stuff, and that I'm super jealous of!!

Hey nerdforge, it looks amazing! Just one thing though, with the magnet sensor lighting function, maybe instead of making the light turn on instantly, you could make the light fade in and out when you hold/drop, it would give it a bit more magical sort of vibe, but either way it's amazing!!!

Hansi aggressively scrubbing/cleaning a clock is the content I'm here for! And cool daggers too! A double win!!!

Reminds me of how back in the eighties, Rusty Dawe (very well-known American costumer -- he and his wife Diane, plus their friends the Turners, won a lot of costuming awards at SF conventions, and later CostumeCons, back in the day) made Stormbringer, Elric's sword from Michael Moorcock's books. Similar, in that it only worked when he held it, but different. No LEDs, so IIRC he used fiber optics. No teensy power supplies, so he had the battery on him, camouflaged as part of his Elric costume. He ran wires down his arm to his gauntlet, which had metal contacts in the palm (disguised as studs in the leather or something, with the same design in the other gauntlet), and the sword's hilt was also metal. When he held the sword, that connected the sword to the battery, and when he waved it, the light effect rippled up and down the blade. But if he let someone else hold it, they couldn't make it work. Magic sword -- only works for Elric. :) Your daggers are massively awesome, and go really well with the costume!

the clock is interesting because not only does it let you know how long the project took you can also count the fps the camera is timelapsing at.

I went on RU-vid to learn about the Salem witch trials while I’m binding a book….. but cool looking knifes first.

That ending montage. If I saw that warrior coming at me with her glowing blades, I’d surrender the field and let her have whatever it was she came for.

You two are so incredibly talented! I have never seen anything like what you guys do! The variety of items you both make totally blow my mind! I'm a brand new subscriber & have been binge watching your awesome videos since I found your channel 10 hours ago! 😂 Thank you for sharing your talents with the world!

The amount of work and patience that went into these awesome daggers is amazing in of itself.

Really like the “team” vibe by having both of you.

So now it's just the waist holsters for the blades. And a staff holder for your back. With quick release for easy action. Then let the dungeons and masters conquest begin

I'm watching for it now, and the finger isn't really noticeable. It's adorable though. Tiny little stump. Really cute.

it takes passion, REAL PASSION, to work for hours on end to create something you love. It's inspiring.

The only thing that I think would have made them even better is if the light slowly faded on and off when you grab them and let go, instead of just turning on and off. Like they were powering up and down.

Hansi’s epic cleaning montage… 🤣 but seriously though, the amount of detail you guys put into this is awe-inspiring! Love your channel, your projects are so unique and beautiful 🤩

I've discovered you a few months ago, I was looking after bookbindings tutorials... you're so amazing. I couldn't do anything like you do, but at my humble level, you really are an inspiration. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your creativity, your numerous talents🙏. I love all your creations, not only the ones about book bindings!

I got chills watching the final product shots when they light up upon touch. Incredible! I’m in aw of your talents 🙌🏼

Looks like the kind of swords where only “The One” can pull out and use haha totally amazing 😻

I love the dramatic workshop cleaning 😂

i love the way the imperfections of the epoxy make your daggers look so magical ! they give them a swirly look :D next project please !!!

I am always amazed to watch you turning blocks of wood into cylinders or rods without having a lathe. You are amazing.

I simply love the "we don't know how to do this but w'll figure it out" way you two artisans work

Another fantastic project! Great job! =D

I'm watching this now, two years later, after having followed a full jewellery making and goldsmithing course (with lost wax method!), and guys I have to say that I was amazed by how well you handled that being your first time! You also sanded that and polished that with the correct stuff, the same I use at the goldsmithing school, that was so good to see!

I loved watching both of you working on different parts of the project. More collaboration like this please!

I love that he’s just bronze casting while wearing socks and sandals. 😂😂😂

Its a God send to see talented people doing their thing. I've never taken the time before to say thank you. Here it is, Thank you. You've helped me make life more fun with my kids.

add one small controller for a breathing effect or gradual increase of brightness when you pick it up would have been awesome.

This was dope, the daggers came out so well! I love the quality you guys put into them. Also your mini film at the end was great😁👍

Always wear your safety sandals when playing with molten metal.🙂

These are so cool, who needs lights when you have DAGGERS?

My Gods! As always, I'm so amazed with what you two make!!!!! *waiting patiently for whatever yall do next* I love everything you two make and it makes me want to try doing some things of my own for my cosplays.

A switch that activates when a magnet interacts with it? This is amazing, i didn't know this exists. And the daggers look SO GOOD!

I'm so glad I looked up how to make a book bind and now I'm here geeking at your projects 😭✨

I've been showing my 62 year old mother your videos and we are both in awe of how intelligent, creative, talented and amazing you both are. You're funny, stumble over words sometimes which I do pretty much all the time 😅 watching your videos feels like proudly watching old friends create beautiful art. Just wanted to leave this comment here. Big love Martina and Hansie we love your videos! 🕉️🤍

I love you guys relationship! It’s so cute! And I freaking love the projects you guys do together!

This is your first video I saw and I have to say it was great! Those crystal daggers came out amazing and I love the lighting effects! But you two are also just super fun to watch (and listen to, love the accents!). Keep it up!

I’m so tempted to try making a trowel microphone.

I'm pretty sure we all just watched a full character arc with your projects and....I'm absolutely down for it! Spectacular!!

The metal-casting investment powder is literally just plaster, formulated so it dissolves easier in water once you've got all the hot stuff done.

I Love it when you both doing projects together on screen.

Imagine this like thors hammer when ur friends pick up the daggers they wont light up but when u do it lights up OMG

That cleaning montage! Hansi, you are the man!!! I mean the daggers are cool but that hammer and snippers throw right into the rack!? That's art. Now let me repeatedly smash that like button

Can’t pull myself away from yalls content! Fills me with an abundance of happiness and creative energy!! Love love loveeee !!

Just found your channel yesterday and I’m obsessed. This is the coolest place on the inter-webs. Those crystal knives are so cool.

Can't wait until you make yourself a whole fantasy castle.

With all your fancy costumes and weapons you should go LARPing just to assert your dominance. 😚

3 casting methods in 1 video... Nice. For shaping soft metals like brass I really recommend the files. Surprisingly a good file set will be faster and more precise at removing material than Dremel. And with file it' easier to achieve a flat area. Whole video is a great manufacturing methods overview. The blades turned out great, and turning LEDs via reed switch is a great idea! Kudos to you!

Just - wow!!! The ingenuity and skill on this project is another level!

Ok, easily one of the coolest things you've made to date, and that is no small feat. So many skills, techniques, ideas, and effort went into this and I love it. And on top of that there was something about the way you filmed and edited this one that felt different and I really really really enjoyed it

They turned out amazing. I love how both of you are always trying new processes and are not afraid of showing them even if you are not sure how it will turn out.

I love the idea of magnetically triggering the lights in the dagger. Only in the hand of someone worthy the daggers will show their magic potential.

I think Hansi needs an armor too! Maybe a good idea for your next project ;) Love your work!

Nobody: Martina as R2D2: 0:17

I got my art degree mostly doing investment casting and seeing your set up made me really nostalgic. I need to invest in DIY smol bois so I can cast at home... most of my stuff is too big so I'll just have to take up jewelry again :) I usually psyche myself into thinking I have to hire foundries for all of my projects. Thanks for reminding me that I can still do stuff other than blanks at home

This is just so phenomenal. I aspire to be this good at makimg projects come to life

Man, incredible daggers! One thing that I thought of was maybe adding a capacitor in the circuit, so that the light would come on and off gradually, instead of straight on-off? Shouldn't be too difficult to add afterwards!

Seriously, you should make a short film that includes all of your props you guys have made. It would be cool to see a fantasy world where all of the magical items exist together!
