Not quite sure how I stumbled across this page... but mate I am so glad I did. I don't know anything about knife making, and yet I know yours is already a piece of art.
Ooooooh I'm excited for you!!! You should absolutely check out his other stuff too. This guys amazing!
You're in for a treat. His other project videos are great as well. He makes absolutely beautiful swords and knives. His Damascus patterns are insane.
You've not heard of KR!? Wow
this dude is the BEST MasterSmith on youtube period. Go check out his "Purple Folder"
Just wait!
The skill it takes to keep those lines perfectly straight can't be understated!
As a retired truck driver, those green skies and hail fire off all of the alarm bells. I've seen more than a few tornadoes to go with weather like that.
The Dykem on that 1000 grit surface looked gorgeous.
The green color of the sky was from the hail. The way the light refracts through the hail often makes the light look green or blue.
Ah, interesting. Makes sense.
@@raydenmorris5220 how does that make sense? light doesnt change wavelength due to refraction.
“According to National Weather Service meteorologists, water and ice particles inside the clouds work to scatter the blue light. When the light is illuminated by the sun's rays, it can appear to have a greenish tint.”
Hail and raindrops, have a tendency to refract the light. That means the light is now moving at a slightly different angle and changes color. But not only is it bent, but it is also less energetic. Moving the light, every so slightly, from one energy level down to the next. So violet light turns to blue, blue turns to indigo, and indigo turns to green.
@@rws531 Does it not? I thought the frequency remained constant, but wavelength shifted. I'm not trying to start a comment war, I'm genuinely curious.
No masterpiece would be complete without a slew of headaches and nightmares along the way. Makes the creation all the more memorable and satisfying.
I would be so curious to see someone take a laser scan of both sides of this sword and compare how close they are to being perfect mirror. I bet the precision is insanely high even though it’s all hand ground.
Your attention to detail and pursuit of perfection is amazing.
Such a pleasure watching you guys work.
I had visions of "flex, flex, ha ha.. flex TING... NOOOOOOOOOOO!" SO much work in such a beautiful piece. Carry on good sir.
Seeing the sanding paper cut to shape was actually so satisfying
Been waiting all week for this!
Love you Kyle. Dropped everything for this video
Was looking forward to this.
Yay, I’ve been waiting for this next chapter
That lord of the rings reference with dude blowing the smoke was hilarious! 😂 great video! I’m considering buying your class 🔪❤️
A sword that size coming in under 5 lbs when complete would be a dream come true.
I had to re-watch that part because I couldn't believe it was under 5 pounds before grinding. That's pretty incredible.
The Medieval broadsword averaged 2.5 - 3.5 pounds - few weighed as much as 4 pounds. Even the uncommon hand-and-a-half sword weighed less than 4.5 pounds.
I just love your enthusiasm and energy! Keep pushing yourself so I can keep finding inspiration 😂!!
I would guess that forging the fuller would stretch the pattern that he wanted to keep intact. For some complaining he didn't forge it in.
such nerve wracking sanding going on! Love the attention to details Kyle, great seeing it all
Kyle: It's always a better idea to use more grounds to make your coffee. Even if you don't like it super-strong, it's still better to brew it strong, and water it down afterward. A coffee ground only has so much coffee flavor in it, and after you've extracted that, it just adds more bitterness to the brew.
Personally, I use about 2oz by weight (about 12 tablespoons) per 40oz water. And I put a tiny bit of salt in the bottom of the pot; it really helps to boost the flavor.
What a treat!
I love the spring on the blade- and it looks really good, too- nice and clean.
Wow, this sword is absolutely amazing, The craftsmanship is truly remarkable, and the attention to detail is mesmerizing
I ALMOST FAINTED WHEN U SHOWN THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE BLADE😮.
Ps that blade is fire 🔥
cant wait for the next episode!
Best intro sequence I've seen!
You guys are so lucky. It would be so cool to hang out it your family and just make stuff. That sort of tight bond is even more rare then that soon to be amazing blade.
I think an entire fuller done with that small stone tool, and leaving the rougher look, would look super cool on a sword, or maybe dagger
I've been checking everyday for your post ,,,,excited to see how you get on in this venture...Angie in Scotland
Thanks!
You're the best man,so talented and humble and weird! Great job dude.
Thanks for another great show! So much going on, also with dad’s twist Damascus! Can’t wait to see THAT video. How does Josh keep track of it all? 👏👏👏
good job team ... I thought I'm the only one who runs with my blade back in the house and ask everyone super questions about it... Smiles!!!
I have a similar problem sanding custom architraves. I use a Festool linear sander. LS130. They are a discontinued tool but you can still find a few out there and a massive time saver. They are also variable speed.
Makes sense on the fuller, the tape on the wheel probably made the contact spongey and made a softer edge while grinding!
Mad to think that back in the day (a century or two ago), all the fuller cutting and sanding was done by hand, not to mention the other parts
They didn’t have erasers
@@ronbuckner8179I bet back then they'd love to have the grinding tools
They had tools designed to hammer the fuller in.
That’s not exactly accurate- two, three, four century’s ago they would have forged the fuller while forging the blade and used a stone wheel of varying grits on a hand crank or pedal assembly to grind in the edges and overall shape and whetstones for hand sanding the fuller and they forged a lot of the other parts and finished them the same way. Now a century ago we’re talking 1924 that’s Industrial Revolution and blades were being mass manufactured at this point and alot of the work was done by someone running a machine
@@Vangent87 uh huh...
Missouri boy here as well. That green sky is prime tornado weather lol. Stay safe brother. Love the work
Legend has it that the Elves used to spray blue Dykem on their blades when orcs were nearby.
Thanks for another great video and all the hard work
Это удивительно сложная, кропотливая и красивая работа.😊
I laughed when Kyle pulled out a kershaw when the guy can make probably the nicest folding knives on planet earth.
To get a nice even sand and high grit polish I use double sided tape and tape my sand paper on to a piece of 8oz leather, the leather helps to prevent accidentally putting to much force on any specific spot.
“Now we’re ready. . .coffee break.” 🤣
i dont know whether it would be an insult to call you a jeweller, your work is beyond clean absolute perfection
1000 points awarded to house, Gryffindor.
Thanks for the good time 🤜🤛
The sword is going to be amazing. I can’t wait! 🎸🔪
Green sky and hail? That's tornado weather.
Myth
@@Jason-tz7ir Of course it is, except when it's true. At least it was when I saw tornados as a kid. The sky always had a yellowish green tint and most of the time there was hail, high winds with periods of calm...
Kyle! Your mom was wearing a sweet Def Leppard sweater!! That’s so cool!!
39:20 Frodo talking with Galadriel maybe? when he realizes he has to leave the fellowship?
The green sky is the hail core. The tornados are usually behind that, at least here.
the windex spit hahahaha...classic Kyle
Great video, Thank you... working on a blade for the Viking challenge and I myself have a fuller to deal with soon... was hoping you had discovered a new magical way to breeze through it hehehe
If there is a magical way, it would be forging the shape and fuller, then using stones to do the final shaping and smoothing. But that would distort the pattern far more than using the stock removal method and probably not suitable for this collector piece.
It actually was also a LoTR reference from Frodo, so well done.
30 minutes in it's looking beautiful,⚔️
Green sky is BAD, usually a tornado close by. Glad everything is good there.
That's.... A myth.
@@Jason-tz7ir Ill bet you are a joy to be around.
I saw the green clouds in Kansas many times. I was shocked to see them in the Black Hills South Dakota.
Hahaha @@Jason-tz7ir
Myth, but still disturbing
Why not a cnc router for the fuller initial cut? Seems like it would be easier to get a good result that way but I am far from experienced in this area.
In the last video, he explained that grinding one side releases a ton of tension in the metal and actually bends the blade. Which would make it impossible to keep it flat on a CNC. Hand grinding one side at a time helps keep everything straight.
I really enjoy Kyle's nerd personality. Also, who else would you expect to make such a cool sword like this?!
Honestly you should look for, or somehow make giant brick erasers and then shave and shape them down to the radius that you need for fuller. Or 3D print some or cast epoxy
I was always told green stormy skies mean a tornado was a coming.
Only ever done one blade with a fuller, and didn't find it to be easy at all. Part of that was down to not having a suitable small wheel on my grinder, so I was debating all sorts of options, using a steel rod and forging it in (decided against it because at the time, my one burner forge probably wouldn't have got hot enough), Scraping it in manually (decided against it because I have small skinny 'drug addict' style arms)....Eventually opted for a grinding disc on an angle grinder followed by lots of hand sanding with the paper wrapped round a section of steel rod.....It sort of worked.
Great teacher you have a good mind good technical mind with a little humour ! keep it up and big up to paps the master
The Griffin sword has been imbued with mystical properties, and will be worthy to accompany it's new master upon a great & noble quest.
Apparently this episode was just pure calamity. Good lord, lol.
I've seen people twist it using a simple vice and just twisting by hand
FINALLY
Leonardo da Vinci WOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK...GOOD JOB!
My experience with Green sky was in Nebraska in about 1957 and a tornado in a little town (Baird) near Scotts Bluff. A tornado took out a big oak in the back yard then lifted over the 2 story house and came down in the John Deer equipment lot across the street. I was playing on the enclosed back porch and had no clue what it was, kind 'a like my whole life back then _No Clue
@7:45 - Sounds like an old printer my dad had growing up. That's all!
gooo GOOOO GET TO THE GRINDER
i nearly cried when u started flexing the sword, now i know its kind of a real life test but still your braver than i would have been.
Green atmosphere is the tell tail tornado warning.
Hand sanding = Headphones and favorite podcast
Dude, i cannot wait to see the pattern. When the coffee comes out. the world explodes.
Вчера на выставке Клинок в Москве я встречался с российским изготовителем копий рапир мечей итп , у него покруче .
Cooler? Maybe wait till the sword is done to compare.
customer: Kyle what the hell did I see 13:31 😂
Bending the Griffin like that gave me anxiety 😂
Great build series!! Do you guys have a link or some more info on the edm-stone air tool? Looks exactly like what I have been searching for.
Lo e this Video, and the project as well! It just came to my mind that you could use 2 different colours od masking tape for the konvexing so youcan see better when you have ground through the first one. :D btw: i am admiring your work and hoping 4o build myself a sword myself one day!
6:45 I was wondering in the previous video if you could use this kinda tool to make that initial cut into the fuller so you have the "railroad track" for the grinder.
have you ever tried a Cratex stick for fuller sanding? Might work better
For those who don't know, yes grinding fuller is REALLY difficult
lightning does indeed hit propane bottles with the results you would expect! A guy I worked with lost his house after his house was struck and the lightning decided to exit through his cooking gas bottle.
Your vid just popped up..... just stopped everything in the world to watch this new one, YOU LEDGEND!!!
I feel like there's an intent and tradition in the stark font of the royer label on your pieces, but I was reminded of my friend's pottery work - instead of a signature or name-stamp on the ceramic pieces, he puts a symbol that represents him instead. The fun part is making the symbol, then it becomes more "forged" into the artwork of the piece, less of a contrast between the piece and the maker.
Running some nice G.Skill in that P.C. :)
Hi Kyle.. Q.The sword being a collectors piece and not meant for battle..But if it was, Hypothetically, would the thickness between the Fuller's of 1.7mm or 70/1000, pose a problem if you were repeatedly striking hard objects like armour and other swords? Couldn't help feeling worried if I was to strike something hard that the core might twist or fold, considering the length of the blade. Loving this build btw..many thanks 👍
I think a gold in lay around the inner grind would look good.
Wow that is one heck of a weight loss. Considering how heavy is vs started.
35:42 SNAP
2.5 lbs seems to be about the max of long swords in museums.
“Coffee Break!” ☕️
Man... If I was on the level of Kyle, I would be flaunting my work everywhere from social media to local media to international market...and I would boast "who can beat me?" Challenge.
"...then I know what I must do, it's just... I'm afraid to do it."
Frodo, to Galadriel
It astounds me that people did this work centuries ago over the course of many weeks or months with wet stones and grinding wheels.
Some still do
They used tools to hammer in the fuller before grinding and refining the fuller.
Bluuueeeee Dycuuummmm 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 by Alec Steele
I know I said this on the last video, already, but here it goes again... I can't wait to see the sword when it's done!!
Weird thought for fuller sanding, a nice thin pair of gloves, with little patches of sandpaper cut out and glued to the fingertips. Different fingers for different radiuses. Just a thought lol. Something i would do 😂
I'm still curious to know why you grind out the fuller instead of using something more precise like a mill
When you sprayed it I was hoping a Star wars light saber joke was coming 😢
Holy shit, That is a PERFECTLY balanced Sword... It flexes perfectly and is still super ridged.. what the shit man this is a show piece made for war.
