Hickory Scottish Claymore(full build)

I make a hickory and walnut Katana that can CUT THE FABRIC OF SPACETIME
It is a hand guard, which is to say it protects your hand from your own blade 😂 keep it up dude, you do some awesome work from one craftsman to another
@@teammystictv5484 looool, I didn’t noticed I screwed up the title lmao. Thanks!
Is there any way I could make something like this without power tools
@@corrupted_guide9383 for sure, you’d need a coping saw to get the blade cutout(if you want to get the curves in), but everything can be made with hand tools. I sometimes do the handle with rasps. Power tools just make things faster and a little easier
Cool gladius swords
Historically, the Claymore refers to the one handed Basket Hilt Broadsword or Backsword, the Two-handed one was just called Scottish Greatsword, or Scottish Two-handed sword
The scots gaellic claidheamh-mòr translates directly to “big/great sword” and was used for both of them it seems. Sometimes the claymore I made is called a Highlander Claymore. But modern terms for swords usually have little to do with the historical ones
@@Themiddleborne , and the two-handed one is called Claidh-d-laidh
@@davidfletcher6703 yes, but this is a three handed sword
Two hand-and-a-half
I too love big swords. 😁Beautiful work. Everything was put into context when I saw the Ren Faire in the parting shot. I liked the conversational tone and sharing the minor whoopsie with the calipers.
@@scottgilbert9175 thank you!
Are those the chisels I sent you?
No, they’re my stanley sweetheart ones I’ve been using
@@Themiddleborne I thought they looked a little heavier. Obviously properly sharpened.
Dayum, I gotta know what kind of wood you used for the blade
I use hickory for most of my blades, unless they’re ornamental, then I go crazy
Dude this looks freaking sick! Keep it up man!
Thanks! It’s a lot of fun!
Man, REALLY nice job, great problem-solving and perseverance! I feel like the guard could be a little darker to contrast with the blade a little more. You know, to mimic the brass/bronze of the real guard and the steel of the blade. It still looks incredible the way it is, though. Excellent work! This has to be one of the coolest sword designs I've ever seen, as well.
Yeah, I threw around a lot of ideas with dyes and other things, but ultimately decided to keep the wood the natural color except for the accent ebony strain. I had also planned on a different blade until I saw the birdseye maple and went with it. The maple gets that gorgeous honey color when finished
Pretty cool! Question, couldn't you have just done the pommel groove sanding on the lathe?
Oh absolutely, but I’m a bit of an idiot so I did it the le hardest way possible
@@Themiddleborne Ha! Well, you still did a great job with it. Well done!
Really impressive!
When will these be for sale please mate? Great video, cheers!
Great sword but the video needs more farting.
Awesome job! INSANE talent! Beautiful work! Great video too!
Thank’s Matt! That means a lot!
Thanks again, my friend. This was a joy to watch. Your hard work and skill truly paid off.
And thank you bro!
Hey buddy, I just found your channel. Instant sub. I love swords and wood. Great job!!
Thank you! Swords and wood are my two favorite things so the marriage of the two is perfect imo
"And here comes the sanding!" Haha! Not so bad bud, it's not that terrible in the end! (cough cough yes it is cough cough). Also loved the creeping water bottle of doom. Good job bud, finally get to see wat happens "before" I get to see and touch one of those beauties. And btw, you should ask Grizzly to sponsor your videos bud, go pay them a visit across the street, ya never know :)
Which way was the grain running while you turned? Also, why not sand on the lathe? Makes it easier on yourself.
I forgot to say great job. Thanks for showing the whole project
The first one is the grain is running along the length. As for the second, it’s a great point and the thing is, well, I’m an idiot, and didn’t think of it until I was editing the video.
@@Themiddleborne not an idiot. Just made a mistake. It’ll be right next time for sure. Keep going. I enjoy your content.
Sanding solution: teach the kids to sand for you
Child labor? Brilliant!
Feeling sad? Build a sword - now you're feeling gladius!
Looool
These Romans might be crazy, but the Galdius is neat
Very good video work! And the project was amazing too!
Great work! I recommend that all of these videos should end with your horde of little red-headed boogers chasing you around the yard with their swords. 👍👍👍
They would murder me!
Safety third
I love this. You have a great voice for narrating.
Thanks! I recorded myself at 1am lol
DEUS VULT
Seems like you still have all your fingers and toes- success!
Finally got to watching this, good stuff. I need to buy one of your claymores at some point, because I know it'd be satisfying to swing around.
I can attest that they are incredibly fun to swing around!
@@Themiddleborne I had an idea. Thoughts on attempting a zweihänder at some point?
@@amoux02 I would love to make a zweihander
THAT WAS AWESOME. What were you whistling? What do you use for oil?
The How To Train Your Dragon theme lol. I use boiled linseed oil for most of my oiling, but sometimes teak or danish. currently the only danish oil I have(handmade by pressing danes in a vat) is a stain, too, so I don’t use it on the swordses
Wonderful work!!
Thank you!
"Why is it called Middleborne Arms when it's TheMiddleborne channel? Because I said so!" Also, first.
Yooooo
