Making a Bladed Flail - An Experiment
The bladed flail in this video is not directly based on a historical weapon. The main idea is that the blades edge aligns itself because the center of mass of the blade is near the cutting edge and the air drag of the thin back part of the blade is higher. I think it would work better if the thin back part was longer, and the point of balance was closer to the grip. Maybe i´ll make a improved version some time that will also be more pretty.

Making a 11th Century Arming Sword
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 3 lety
This sword is modeled after an 11th-century arming sword from the "Deutsches Klingenmuseum Solingen" (German Blademuseum Solingen). It is listed as Catalougen-umber 9 in the Book "The Sword - Form and Thought". This is the second sword and video I`ve ever made, so any feedback would be appreciated. 00:00 Intro 00:04 Drawing 00:37 Blade 01:27 Forging the Tang 02:15 Back to the Blade 02:45 Making...

Wunderschöne Arbeit. Kannst du zurecht stolz drauf sein.
Clever grinding tool.
Also die Technik beim schmieden war jetzt nicht so berauschend, die Wärmebehandlung ist vorraussichtlich auch leider sehr dürftig gewesen- kein Normalisieren, keine Kornverfeinerungszyklen, vermutlich vor dem härten nicht lange die Temperatur gehalten, ungleichmäßige Temperatur der Klinge, Klinge immer wieder aus dem Öl gezogen und sehr ungenauer Anlassprozess. Die Struktur vom Stahl ist nach dem Schmieden normalerweise völlig im Ar*** und das sieht man auch bei der gebrochenen Angel. Es benötigt eben die Zyklen danach um die Struktur vor dem härten wieder gut zu bekommen. Für die Kreativität, das Durchhaltevermögen und den Aufwand für alles selbst Werkzeuge zu machen muss ich dir allerdings gratulieren. Auch das Endergebnis ist zumindest von der Optik richtig schön geworden- und wie man sieht, schneidet es auch :) Zum Thema Wärmebehandlung würde ich dir die Videos von Knife steel nerds auf yt empfehlen, sowie das Buch "Knife engineering" Zum schmieden der Bevels- czcams.com/video/0imHWfBUYm4/video.html Extravideo für die WB schön zusammengefasst czcams.com/video/XD7m2_usRkk/video.html
I’m how long do you think it took to cut that spring, about what was your starting material weight from it? Or did you go by length and play it by step? This is my next project and this video is about what I’m going for on the finished sword, thanks
Absolut klasse!Alleine die Tatsache,dass es wirklich von Hand gemacht ist.Sehr beeindruckend.Mein erstes "Oakshott 14" ist graderst fertig geworden und es ist eine wahre Freude es dort stehen zu haben.Ist schon ein Bierchen wert,für sich selber😊😊.😊😊
Looks Amazing
Great work!
Bună seara.sunt cavalerul ortodox NENFRICAT Gabriel SĂNDIȚĂ.
Magneficent ser. Damascus version making please. Where is new videos? Where is new work.😅
That is the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen
The things you can do with good tools and excellent skills. I loved watching this video. And to think the 11th century craftsmen had to do this without powertools.
Wow..! Fantastic work & beautiful single hand Arming Sword..
You don't see a lot of smiths completely hand forge a sword and its fittings. Amazing! You forged everything so precisely! I wish I had the opportunity to handle that sword. I bet she sings!
Great video. What do the circles help with in the drawing process? Thanks!
It is thought that most medieval swords where designed and proportioned geometrically like this, similar to gothic cathedrals. In contrast to this earlier swords often dont fit into geometrical patterns and their can proportions not be expressed in such neat fractions.
The type XIV swords are by far the most beautiful sword design. ❤ An awesome job!
Офигенский меч!!!!👍👍👍👍
Cпасибо
I would like to buy one myself.
Kudos to you. I thought about getting into the forging business myself, but I don’t have the skills. Besides, I have OCD, so I go nuts over perfecting drawing sword designs, let alone forging them. Anyway, I’m not sure that I would have the attention span nor patience to do it.
OK
amazing work and all by hand ! way more talent then thows guys who just grind and machine everything to shape
Grinding that fuller is no easy feat.. symmetry, depth… quite a challenge freehand 👍👍👍
Thanks, the width didnt make it easier either, there are noticeable slips irl though.
Next blade has two fullers per side and is 20% longer. Apparently i actually can be overconfident. Project is on halt at the moment tough, because of work.
Its nice to see a sword made the real way without a threaded tang
Spitzenmäßige Arbeit, vielen Dank fürs Zeigen.
Outstanding work. I aspire to make one this nice one day.
Honestly, it's just beautiful. I've rarely even seen a sword that well made, let alone one that's hand forged! Awesome job!
Thank you. Even so i must say there are definitely some faults apparent when handling it (to much flex in the middle and the fuller is slightly wonky).
It´s good that your tang broke in the process, otherwise it would break when being used.
beautiful arming sword
Absolutely beautiful build. Fantastic video as well. Thank you for the upload. Definitely one of my favorites.
Great video! I am also interested in making a sword and have the book you mention. What page is it on? I think the dimensions on your build are something I can work with using the equipment I have. Thanks!
Its on page 66, you may not recognise it immediately because the guard is a bit fatter in the middle and the Pommel is a bit more pointy. Maybe something with a narrower (or no) fuller would be better for a first try. I found it very easy to slip grinding the wide fuller. Good luck.
@@davidantweiler4729 could it be the sword in Chapter 6 - A Sword from the Rhine? That is the closest one I can find in the book. Page 66 is talkin about material an properties of VLFBERHT swords. I really enjoyed your build and think I will try to make Rhine sword since it has all of the characteristics and a good pic of the restored sword. Thanks for the info!
In my copy it is on page 66, its the 9th sword listed and has "INIOINI" inlayed on the blade. Maybe we have sligthly different copys. Im not shure which sword you mean, but general advice would just be to keep it simple, nothing long, one or no fuller and no rings on the guard that you have weld on. Remember to have enough excess material on the blade for scale and forging mishaps.
I have this version. www.woodenswords.com/The_Sword_Form_and_Thought_p/book-sch01.htm
Wonderful ... as a learning blacksmith, this was very insighful. Thank you very much for sharing your work here !
Thank you! But please note that i'm not an expert myself. Please take what you see here with a grain of salt.
this was spectacular, why don't you have more subscribers???
Thank you. I've only made three videos in like two years, so thats probably it.
@@davidantweiler4729 I'd say make more, but I'm sure they are time consuming
You're not wrong, but well see how it goes.
Subbed. Your sword is excellent for the next crusade, Sir. Deus Vult!
Legit if someone asks me how to make a sword I'll be sending them this video in the future.
The time when the design of Swords reached its peak ... barring the Type XII and XIIa , which are the supreme swords .Magnificent work .
Peak design is the yatagan sword
Fight!-Fight!-Fight!-Fight!-Fight! /s Its a matter of taste my dudes.
@@mhdfrb9971 Only a Turk would say that .I see through your disguise .
I love the idea. Flails are my favourite historical weapons. This year I was in museum in Kolberg in Poland (I have noticed german comment and your last name) and there were multiple flail heads and chains. I heard that in eastern europe one-handed flails were more common. Greetings from Poland.
Thanks and greetings from Germany!
Wow really is beautiful sword ,good job
Thanks
Ja sehr geile Idee .. wie lange schmiedest du schon?
Ich war als Kind zwei drei mal bei nem Kurs, hab dann nach der schule angefangen mir selbst bischen was anzuschaffen, vor ca. 2 Jahren. Ich hab aber abgesehen vom hier gezeigten nicht so viel geschmiedet, ein paar Haken und so nen Krimskrams.
Very impressive
Good job 👌 , I'm waiting for your next videos . Google translate 😁
Thank you.
How do you only have 131 subs? I just made it 132!! Great content!!
Thank you.
The editing quality is pretty astonishing to be quite frank. The sword POV is so seemly simple and obvious, yet so profoundly original in my experience and really tied the whole video together. Excellent work, Sir.
Thank you.
Sehr cool! Und endlich schneidet mal wer was professionelleres als Wasserflaschen. :D
Danke!
Interresting results... i really appreciate you used minimum amount of machines for forging and making all of those metal parts. Good luck!
Thanks! I ended up using both hands because it was a bit unwieldy. I think if i could make the chain and and handle lighter to shift the point of balance towards the grip and made the grip longer (and maybe with a pommel?), that would make it a lot more effective, i think. Im also thinking of integrating a sheath in the handle, and making the thin back part foldable, kinda like a bats wing. Someday...
@@davidantweiler4729 That is a lot of improvements you have in your mind! But with an absolute honesty i think it is never gonna be really comfortable to wield, just because you need to keep constant focus on the position of the blade to the piece/object you are gonna be slashing. Btw. I loved both of your sword builds you published, i watched them at least 20x each 😃
Youre probably right about that, its really more of a gimmick, but i find the thought experiment quite interesting. But using it was actually less scary than i thought it would be, as long as you keep swinging it can't really hit you. But if i make a Mark ii, it would probably make sense to make a dummy blade, or get some armor to test some moves safely. Thanks man, thats great to hear. I really need to get my shit together, and make some more. Im just finishing up my treadle hammer, that should make a lot of the laborious clamping jigs redundant.
Very nice.
This deserves more views than it's gotten. How thin was the edge prior to the quench, and was it distally tapered before the heat treat, or was that ground out afterwards?
Thanks. I think the edge was probably ~0.6-2mm, i made it thinner than what i have heard recommended in some parts, because i could not have gotten it wide enough otherwise. I think distal taper was mostly forged, the leaf spring i used had a hole in the middle, which i wanted to push as far forward as possible. The curve of the edge is a bit flatter at the point where the hole was because i could only use half the width of the leaf spring.
I’ve never seen a hammer so small! 😂 great video!
Thanks!
awesome
Sehr güt!
Danke
Probably one of the best videos I've seen making a sword like this. Love how u made tools to move forward. Awesome.
Thank you.
Well done friend, if you were to sell a sword to order what wold it be worth to you?
Tldr: For this this sword problably like 450€, to make one to order right now definitely more, if id become a swordsmith maybe a bit less. I don't think i can reliably answer that question right now. I have only made the two swords you can see on this channel, so i have no experience in selling anything. For this sword i think I counted 42 work hours, but that probably wasn't counting stuff like cleaning up. To cover materials, fuel and work hours it would have to be upwards of 450€. Plus taxes. This sword also isn't really of a quality that i would be comfortable selling, making something to sell would probably take longer, also depending on the design. If i were to get good at this I could probably lower prices by making several swords at once. But at that point i would probably have to factor in other hidden costs. If i start making batches, you will see it on this channel. I hope this was intelligible, not my first language.
