Making the KARAKURI KATANA Whip Sword from WILD HEARTS 

I'm not saying don't ever make normal blades again, but I'm really enjoying watching you redesign and improve the concept of a whip sword. Seeing you troubleshoot the issues that come up is really interesting and, personally, I don't think I'd ever get bored of it. You need to do what you're passionate about but making a usable whip sword that works almost as it does in fiction seems doable and I'd love to see you perfect it. Whatever your plans for the future are, just keep having fun with everything

Only found one at 13:08

@@goodguykonrad3701 thanks 🙏 I’ve got some different projects planned that should be just as cool and there 100% will be a third version of whip sword after my own design

I am sorry, those gears are too freaking big to hide in that katana... I took 2 stills, there is no transistion between gears and blade, it is just... POP blade.

If you redo the gears in a planetary gear formation, you could reinforce them with metal pins and incorporate them into the handle itself. Also, lubricate them with graphite. Also, maybe reach out to the Lockpicking Lawyer or Stuff Made Here for ideas for something better for the links. Maybe some sort of slide locking mechanism that lets you assemble everything at the same time instead of before forging.

Wow, thanks a lot!!

Imagine a theHacksmith and NjordArtisan colab 🍷🗿

@@technonevahdies4578 There's a bunch of guys like this, they have ther resources, education, strength and money to do this, and they work hard on this stuff to.

damn hacksmith got some competition Fr

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't show the part where they bought his workshop and closed it down so good products can never be made again.

​@@BreakNichedid they actually?

@@VinnyUnion this is a slight at how they buy entire game studios that are making actual good games and then fire everyone and shut down the studio they just bought. Look it up ☹️

@@BreakNiche i know that already. That's why I almost believed it. Well, Chinese holding companies are just as bad. As on Opera, and ARK survival's Wildcard Studio, Snail Games. The most terrifying ones are the holding companies, really. They have nothing. They're just hallow phantoms that go around and cause chaos with a bundle of money. Also, I've never understood the bending the knee for shareholders. I get what they are there for, but they're not the CEO. Like, for example Cyberpunk 2077, the release was pushed closer because of the shareholders, but let's say CDPR ignored and dismissed the shareholders instead and released a completely good game by sacrificing a few shareholder pennies and thus, making a better product and higher sales overall, wouldn't shareholders make more money if it was sold more often?! Like, I don't see why impatient shareholders should be anywhere to be taken seriously when they're just bunch of children that throw money at you and will profit off of you regardless. Either you invest, make profit and shut the hell up or you don't invest in the company and do it somewhere else. Like goddamn.

You mean like with anthem 😂😂😂😂

If i were him at that moment im probably would have merged that segment with the base to meet the deadline

Not to mention especially for someone that hasn't been bladesmithing for that long. Smiths with much more experience & much better tools have attempted this & failed miserably LOL.

@@thunderbird543761 oops, didnt catch that.

Facts i try to make one like that but still couldn't fo it right

Most game studios care about people being hurt by the weapons designed by people (who have no clue how weapons work) for a game. EA doesn't. There's a difference.

​@@TheBigQQ69420 you're always risking injury when working with power tools anyways, which 99% of channels like this one use

In fiscal year 2022, EA posted GAAP net revenue of approximately $7 billion nuff said....

nah, he should have told EA "give me two months or forget about it". Publishers are notorious for wanting way too much in way too little time, and they do it because animators and others always give in. "i need the work", like in the industrial revolution. Tell publishers to fucking learn what work really is.

@@ahhthatsjustgrand6502 not talking about making it, this guy is fine. i'm talking about the artist (and all game artists who design wonky weapons) who designed the in game sword who pulled it out of their a, without knowing or caring how things work, and its irresponsible for them to have someone recreate something made by a layman who never left their room, and doesn't care as long as they think "it's kewl."

I also often see that showing the setbacks resonates a lot more with the audience. So definitely a win win for both sides 👍🏻

​@@NjordArtisanalso opens up insight from people. If you were struggling with something that somebody else has a solution to, they could offer it.

Kamuiiiiii 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The Bible is truth. To understand this you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. It all starts with forgiveness from the heart. Start by finding the grievances we all build up with our parents. They have generally raised fed loved us to some degree. Looking inside, realizing that they are people who make mistakes too, and genuinely forgiving them everything shows an important aspect of your soul to God. Genuinely mean absolute forgiveness inside your heart. This is key. To be forgiven we must forgive. This step teaches you why Jesus Christ is lord, and why you need to break down to him and ask for forgiveness. Afterwards read Genesis, Mathew, and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. These four steps have important spiritual significance and are like milestones within our souls. Please trust me. Genuinely open your heart up to God. It is all true. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life. 😊

Wow, thanks a lot! I really appreciate that 🙌

Thanks David!

I concur about the 3D printer. Since we got ours in the shop in 2020 designing prototype parts & tools has become infinitely easier. Instead of having to fabricate a part & see if it's fully functional we can just print out a few variations then once we have found the one that works the best we can send it off to be made out of billet on the CNC machine. So what used to take weeks in some cases has been reduced to hours or a few days. It really is a game changer. Wish I had one 15 years ago LMAO.

@@jdmmike7225 Yes, You are totally right Mike (Is it your name?). I Have small Cnc machine, laser engraving machine and in the future I will buy 3D printer as well. It's very versatile and useful machine, especially if you need to fabricate custom parts.

I feel the same way

Thanks a lot! I can’t wait to get started in a proper workshop

Even v3 will see a huge leap if this is any indicator, so excited to see what comes next.

That’s awesome to hear, thanks!

Oh yeah, a mill would be a gamechanger on these projects 🤩

Thanks a lot!!

Has to master making it first. I'm sure it would of broke if there was more cutting. Nonetheless thing was awesome.

Thanks a lot! Next one won’t have a time constraint, so I can finally make a clean version

Thanks a lot, Phil 🙌

Thanks! 🙌

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. Can’t wait to put everything I learned from this into my own design 🙌

Thanks! That really nice to hear 🙌

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that 🙌

Thanks a lot! 🙌

If you put it like that it was a blessing in disguise 😄

Thanks! I was definitely down bad at that moment. But as another viewer said, at least it didn’t happen later while testing 😄

Thanks a lot! 🙌

Yeah I should probably build the gearbox and stress test it with just a 2kg weight to see whether it works. I actually used TPEG because I read that’s supposed to be sturdier.

Still wouldn’t work though. It’s entire body is a weakness

Nahh, ik your aware but zabimaru is way different, just because it functions similar to zabimaru doesn't mean its copied after it, if that were the case the katana would be same as the kopesh simply cause they're swords.

That's not how plagiarism works or what it is lol

As if zabimaru was original whip sword

Your slow

I think people asking if you’re slow are the slow one, literally me when I don’t understand a joke

EA moment

bet you've heard that one alot

@@Miss_GiggleFarts from your mom 😳😆

@@chincemagnet lmao

Im sure that wasnt the 1st time for you~

@@vallriah6972 goddamn I’m getting tore up and emasculated 😆

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks!
