Sapientes Build 

This guy is like a fantasy steampunk dwarf, but for real. The pulley system tho

Why does everyone think this is man at arms, he doesnt just make these swords because you ask for them, people pay for these and he makes these videos to show us the process, not for suggestions on his next build.

I seriously watch your videos to relax to, not sure why but just seeing you methodically do your work just makes me chill. Hm.... Maybe I'm high

i love his little funny bits, like the acetone, "I can feel it entering my bloodstream, yummy" it always cracks me up, this is why i like watching his videos

"BACAW! … wait owls don't go "bacaw" what do owls go… WHOOO" lmao 😂

I love that people think this is man at arms and he'll just make whatever is requested.

Blacksmith's tip: Most hard solder fluxes are basic. Flux stains can be removed by soaking in acidic solutions. I use citric acid in water.

That awesome feeling when you check your subscriptions and there's a new michael cthulu vid

Home from work. ate dinner. made a bowl of popcorn and now enjoying your fine vidoes and amazing craftmanship. love it! thanks for sharing

Certainly the most practical project so far!

41:14 i thought my eyes tricked me 😱 and im wearing glasses 😆

this guy is my favorite guy, so creative with that brace thing he made so his arms wouldn't get tired

Me: "You know, Mike might be kind of weird, but I think I've seen most of it by now, don't think there's anything I might have missed like in older videos or something where he gets even more weird-yet-genious with his madness" Mike: "22:49" Well played, sir. Well played.

I been using the same Speedglass 100 model helmet for the past 15 years or so. 8+ hrs per day, 5+ days per week. From intense field work, to heavy manufacturing. It’s super light and has held up extremely well. My favorite helmet over the past 25 years.

The sparks hitting his chest at 22:45 was epic. And heroic.

41:14 what a lovely forest dweller stalking Mike

49:27 flawlessly executed combination.

clearly all these new viewers that have come over from UNILAD dont understand how this works: YOU HAVE TO PAY HIM TO BUILD THE SWORDS... :)

Probably my favorite build I've seen so far holy shit it's gorgeous

crazy craftsmanship didn't realize how sharp it was until the teating phase. Hats off to you. cheers!

Lol i see what you did there at 41:14 lmao. you're a genius. attention to detail haha

WHEN U SAID "THE AIR IN HERE IS GROSS!" I LITTERALLY FARTED LIKE 5 SECONDS BE4 U SAID THAT! LMAO I WAS DYING

5:53 " it's still a little hot" *continues fondling hot metal*

I really like watching your technique with the salt water to inlay designs. That for me is the most pleasing part of your videos.

Seeing you working on your projects (the ones where you let the tools do the "talking", especially) sorta gives me an ASMR sort of feeling. It's so soothing to the nerves.

Man, that may have been your most badass and pose-able obligatory-cutting-things ever.

That is one nasty sword.

23:00 you really could just walk onto any post apocalyptic movie set, because that apparatus seems to be the norm for you

I love that that blade you work so well and not afraid to take risks and you work shows excellent results thank you for the video

A pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work.

i laughed my arse off when i saw the sparks coming out of the window

Uhh... what's with the Ulysses S Grant looking dude at 41:15?

seems like his only somewhat usable sword.

This man is one of the most bad ass smiths I've seen. Hair + Beard + Kilt + Accent + Humor = Bad ass blacksmith (imo). Also, I love the mask and goggles combo.

Your metal 'lathe' is the coolest idea I have ever seen for a metalworker

You're fucking awesome, Michael!

I love how he says something is too hot but then continues to touch it

First... You are awesome man.

I love that this is relatively uncut! So many are just metal music over a montage.

Your videos are so relaxing, I find watching anything well done a pleasure to watch, but your craftmanship is beyond belief, thanks for sharing.

Top-down view. Isometric is close but there's a slight angle, like a 45 degree top-down kind of thing.

Sapient - Knowing Owl of Knowledge at a guess, cool.

at like 41:13-41:14 whats with the guy on the left?

Your channel is my favorite. It's oddly peaceful to hear grinding and hammering while i'm working on college homework. I'm a damn good welder but it's amazing to see you manipulate metals.

one of my favorite builds it is just so sleek and is awesome.

My favorite part was the obligatory you hitting something with it.

i would really like to see a replica of the blade of woe from skyrim, i loved that thing

I would really like to see a sword from Elder Scrolls Skyrim. Maybe like a one handed sword.

Flawlessly changing hands while welding. Amazing. I can only weld using my right hand

I really like this design. Who ever came up with it has good taste

Cool letter opener you got there

that werid guy at 41:12 scared me..

you got such a huge fan base you should maybe sign youre old welding mask and auction it off for charity or something

I love your "mad scientist" approach to fabrication. The end results always look awesome.

watching your videos is like therapy to me, so soothing to see real work with real value. Thank you for sharing your passion with us ; )

So who was that guy in black and white when you turned on the torch?

Just gotta win the lottery and then i'll get a sword made for me.

41:14 what was that? o.O

I adore your videos..keep up the great work!!!, like your enthusiasm, like your attitude and the fact you look like Viking makes everything even better

It's amazing. The lightweightness is awesome for being so big. I need it.

30:15.........DID YOU KILL A UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just realize your like tobjorn

When you think a six foot sword is "normal size" I guess it is compared to other builds lol

23:00 That is the most brilliant and weird looking device I have seen you make. Top marks.

I love your work, the way you work and your voice works really well and I could watch all day , on one of your vids you painted your breather because someone complained they could see spit, I couldn’t believe it, I would have told them to jog on, the amount of effort you put into making those weapons and you take the time to share that with others I just think that’s awesome

Who is that guy u added at 41:15 ? ^^

i am arguing in the comments

41:14 Creepy

Hey Michael😎. You should put up a wooden pole so you could nail or staple or your could use a knife. To put up the picture of what ever you are going to do(work on). So you can look at it without the wind or whatever can blow them over. It would be awesome to do!! Keep up the good work and videos..

Personally I find this your best build so far, Michael. It looks fantastic. Tastes can't be argued of course, but I like this style far better than the usual slabs of metal plate. Anyway, whatever you make, it's a pleasure to watch.

41:15 Did you see that?

whats with the guy at 41:15

Wouldn't getting a lower table be easier to grind on?

haha "its a bag o bricks and some rollers" this is the best channel ever. Michael is a great guy.

I love your videos man!i watch them over and over again and ever month i wait for the new one.i love the way you narrate and explain the things you are doing and why.i don't do thins kind of thing.i work with wood but i still learn a great deal.i also love how you do fantastic work witj frankentools :).

but did you make the sword able to "end him rightly"

The real question is: would this cut a person in half given enough srenght?

41:15 WUT DU FUQ

I love to watch other people working - seriously though, I really enjoyed watching your craftsmanship - from an old Artificer and coppersmith :)

you have no idea how much i like to watch this type if vids, i really really want to be able to do this too! but i can not for so many reasons its not even funny. sometimes i try to make a detailed sword in wood, but i never bin able to give it much detail then i would like. anyways video's like this makes me wish i live near you so i can watch and learn. because you can only learn so much from look at video's. i swear if i earn or win a surplus of money i buy my self a forge, set of tools & machines and i'll start doing this (without the youtube stuff ofc) great work keep it up.

I said Herman Miller, I ment Herman Melville

Is it for sale

My GOD. A human sized weapon!? UNSUBSCRIBE.

Saw an owl the other night, and I swear it looked at me and said "Ca-caw!!" Must be one of them Northern owls...

I use battery acid (sulphuric acid 35%) from the auto store as a pickling solution on my brazed sculpture to remove the flux residue. Typically I dilute it 1:1 with water to make ~12.5% acid and leave the parts in overnight. Makes removing the discoloration and flux WAY easier. Also, heating the glassy areas up nice and hot (dull glow) then dropping into a water bucket or squirting it with water fractures off a lot of the large pieces. I do that before I soak. The acid lasts a damn long time (still on my first purchase with liters left).

do A Throwing Star or a Bow with arows

An impressive build with a number of unusual techniques incorporated.

I love watching him make these wicked looking unique weapons.

One of the best ever made! Congrats

i can watch him wield swords all day ahahaha. very relaxing.. very talented.!!!

Listened to the intro 15 seconds, spat coffee all over my monitor. Well done!

@32:21 The intense boiling sound made by hot metal hitting water brings me inner joy. This is now my go-to "satisfaction" video.

This Irish sword making good is amazing incredible love to his art and passion

Dude is soooo carefree but a genius. Brilliant to watch

"Let's see how shiny we can get it!" Made my day.

Yep your work is really good it even chopped down a wood so that mean you made it very sharp It a master piece

Things i learned watching michaelcthulhu "I need more angle grinders. Angle Grinders are amazing." "Why get a lathe when you can have vertial poverty lathe?" "It is possible to weld something to good (see many temporary weld jobs that do not want to budge)." "Cheap whire wheels are bad mkay?" "Insane amounts of sparks are not an issue. Just direct them out the window while you work your poverty lathe!" "Yes, people really do and did use crazy mechanical wheels and counter balances just to make angle grinding easier." More to come and post your own :D

The counter balance rig is AWESOME!

Bravo ! You are a great artist! Congratulations

"PAW-CAAWWW" I lost it at this point. Laughing in tears.
