The actual machete probably wouldn’t have been this well made considering the lack of resources in the post apocalypse but none the less it looks very beautiful
its a nice prop...but thats all it is. without a tgrue full tang after a few chops on anything but simple brush and your blade will snap or even worse go flying. I would reccomend trying it again with a true full tang and some heat treating
+lastgunslinger3759 I agree it could have been made stronger and more usable but i chose visual accuracy over usability, maybe in the future ill make some real hardened knives or other blades. Thanks for watching!
I wouldn't recommend a lawnmower blade in the first place, these things are fairly mild steel and can't really hold an edge about the full tang issue, you could just have cuz out a bit of the lawnmower blade wich would also make a shorter blade that can be handled properly
that depends on how well he weldet it if you do it carefully and normalize the area you can get a pretty strong connection it helps if you grind both pieces at 45° to form an edge where you want to weld them together if you fill the area with the welder carefully it should be pretty strong
You are absolutely correct! At the time I just did not have the equipment to get the metal any hotter than in the video. Thanks for watching and check out my newer videos!
Thank you for posting this video, it was interesting to watch and observe how this could be done. It was quick and pretty much self explaining, and your reason for not hardening the steel was on point. You did a great job, don't let the saying trolls disillusion you. Keep on puting out good videos.
+74HDJOE Thank you very much, i really appreciate it. The trolls don't bother me much, i wish i had more time to put out more videos though, ive got a railroad track anvil coming next.
+CellanKnight Thanks! No heat treatment since its just a prop and i dont have a way to heat treat pieces that big yet :( but with time i will build a medium forge to make badass weapons.
+CellanKnight That means a lot, its the reason i do the work in the first place, i looked up the sword and it reminds me a lot of the buster sword, watch some build videos of that one to get a good idea for size, if youre like me and want to make it reeeeeeeeallyyy big, weight will be your biggest challenge. Goodluck
You should take off the cloth and burn per say the right side in the top with a torch then rewrap it leaving two sides burnt two sides unburnt I think it would look pretty cool
+Tommy Vercetti short answer: about $150, long answer: i dont make things to sell, i make things to create content for you guys so my pricing would be much cheaper than someone who makes stuff like this in bulk to sell. Im getting a lot of price questions on this, should I auction off some future projects on Ebay? Thanks for watching!
Not sure where all the dislikes are coming from, my guess is butthurt craftsman who are angry at you for not making a perfectly functioning end-product or something. I found this to be a very gratifying and visually satisfying prop build: you've certainly earned my like.
+A Solipsist Thank you for understanding what this build is all about, 300+ likes to 60 dislikes is not bad by me, check out my newer videos, they are much better quality
+Laurynas Tamošaitis thanks for commenting! I tried to stick as close to the image i was going off of as i could but i think it would look very nice with a satin polish all over.
+Grandpa Bill I got mine at Home Hardware (Canadian store). Looks like the one I have is discontinued now but heres the link to one of the same type www.homehardware.ca/en/rec/index.htm/Tools/Hand-Tools/Mechanics/Welder-Acc/Accessories/25lbs-Lift-Hook-Magnet/_/N-2pqfZ67l/Ne-67n/Ntk-All_EN/R-I1150758?Ntt=hook+magnet I don't have the make and model unfortunately. hope this helps, thanks for watching!
It seems kinda pointless to go through the trouble of flattening the blade out, instead of cutting the curled-up sections away like a lot of people do, and then not make much use of the original edges that you went through so much trouble to save. Bit hard to tell 100% but it looks like the edge on the end of the blade ended up on the false edge instead of actually being used as part of the cutting edge?
Thanks for the detailed look into my build! If i remember correctly youre right on your observations but the intention was to build a working prop that was identical to the in game model. This video is 6 years old now and my skills have improved drastically, i think I will do another gaming weapon build sometime soon.
@@FireHeartProjects True, definitely interesting regardless. Plus given most machete edges are a simple chisel grind, it wouldn't be as good as a machete most likely. Not to mention still needing to grind out more length for the edge if one were to try and keep it.
Hey, i still have it, i did not sharpen or harden it because i made it as I prop just for the video, i will sell it if you really want it though, make an offer. Thanks for watching!!
+Trinity Gameing Thanks for commenting! this is one of my older videos where I wasnt used to commentating at all. It will be better and more focused in future videos.
One picture is worth a thousand words, so a 12 minute video is a book. It's unfortunate you didn't gain anything, maybe it's your perception or expectations of what others are providing ... for FREE.
A very cool build! And of couse... I now want to play Fallout.
+Peter Brown Thanks for watching Peter! I really appreciate you coming over. You're one of the people that got me to start filming my projects!
+Peter Brown cool to see you here
Peter Brown I don't blame you, we all love fallout
Knowing that I'll never probably craft this myself I really enjoyed watching this build. Love the video quality and you're truly inspiring!
+Leak Le Thank you!

Looks like that steel was a little cold a few times when you were beating on it I'm sure it created stress fractures
I recommend hammering it when it's at forging temperatures like cherry red orange and yellow cause if u hit it when it's not those colors it can crack

That machete is from new Vegas, not 3
+justin norris You're right, I realized after making the video.
Mike Hunt read the description
It is actually from both
I love the fallout series. and that machete is totally awesome.
+9 toe Garage Yeah Thank you!
Thank you sincerely for watching! I hope to hear your suggestions to help improve this channel!
can you do a video forging filipino sword "kris" used by filipino moro warriors in mindanao Philippines? thank u
Beeeautiful, maaaann... But.. no heat treatment?? O.o
+CellanKnight Thanks! No heat treatment since its just a prop and i dont have a way to heat treat pieces that big yet :( but with time i will build a medium forge to make badass weapons.
Hmmm... happy to hear that, because I look up to your work hahaha i plan making a biiig machete inspired in the Razor sword from Castaway 2
+CellanKnight That means a lot, its the reason i do the work in the first place, i looked up the sword and it reminds me a lot of the buster sword, watch some build videos of that one to get a good idea for size, if youre like me and want to make it reeeeeeeeallyyy big, weight will be your biggest challenge.

Very badass indeed dude.
+asuko2012 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
you should have roughed the metal for the epoxy to hold better
Ave True to Caesar
Is this sharp enough to split an Asian public hair?
+SchockSucksDonkeyNut only once
that looks cool, nice concept.
+kevin y thank you
Great welding job wish I could do the same
+Alex H Thank you, its not a hard skill to learn, let me know if you want to pursue it, I can answer any questions
This looks amazing just outta of curiosity how much would you charge for some bring like this?

WeldedWoodWorks
sorry for the VERY late reply But looking at the work you put into them I would think its a good idea to auction them off
how awesome! can't wait to see more :)
+Clay Brinker Thanks! More coming after the winter here!
good shit bud. I like it.
+Jacob Belluomini thanks man. I like it too.
what a poor soulless peace of metal...

you should make a video demonstrating its destructive capabilities on some bottles or fruits,
It looks like a really deadly weapon
+Hairy Ballbastic I will include it next time I do another weapon build, thanks for commenting!
Thank you for making the video!
Pretty Wicked
and dying light tanto machete
YES THANK YOU FOR NOTICING THAT
Amazing
That's what I originally knew it as. Either way I'm glad I can make one with relative ease.
that's pretty sweet...well worth the wait when you posted the pic on imgur last night...
Makes you wonder how they dident just find an actual machete while making in new Vegas
+The Great Ray “New Satan” Maelstrom Video game logic I guess... gives me a job though!
I think that's the gladius.
Melon Man Or the Broad machete from the gunrunners pack
Amazing.
Harry L. Hamilton Thanks a bunch! let me know what you would like to see on the channel.
save the time get a bigger blade stencil it leave the holes for balance loved your handle no tape
I don't understand why you didn't tape it off on both sides so it looks the same on both sides
Am I the only one who thinks tnat machete looked better without paint? Anyways, very cool build.
+Laurynas Tamošaitis thanks for commenting! I tried to stick as close to the image i was going off of as i could but i think it would look very nice with a satin polish all over.
(Welder) Where can I get one of those magnetic grounds? Can you provide the make and model.

that looks like a fallout3 machete but also a dying light korek machete v2
+JuanLuis Gonzalez yes a lot of people have pointed that out, never got to play DL but the machete is very similar
Its from fallout new vegas not 3
that was he biggest wast of wood
It looks cool but I wish you chopped something with it at the end.
+ThaRedPitbull I really should have, I will next time i make a weapon ill chop stuff ill include the machete too
did you draw those sketch ups or did you print them off
I printed them off after tracing an image and enlarging to 1:1 scale.
Looks like the skull machete from dying light
Say Heah Slavko, Nice. ,, .
Ave true to Caesar
making one now from an old machete
peachn8a Id like to see it when its done!
Make the sacrificial machete and serrated machete.

Looks kinda like something from rust
I can see myself finding this in a crate in rust
How I the bevel file holder constructed do you have a video for that?
Have any instructive video about this bevel jig on youtube ?
nice replica man!!! Looks like the original machete of new vegas, like and sub :)!!!
+Martinat0r_2001 Thank you! I will be posting more videos once it warms up, more gaming stuff!
dying light anyone ?
yep
i was wondering what is the blue stuff that made the blade black?
www.gessweincanada.com/product-p/407-45908.htm It's a chemical that reacts with metals. Its also made for other metals and other colours.
Thanks man!
Your "materials" link isn't working
it's from New vegas !! not fallout 3
when you hit the metal pins was that after the glue was dried?
+ben mabe No it was before, it flares out the pins and helps hold the handle together. Thanks for watching!
this machete is cool form fallout 3 I can make this machete but different and new
Hey whats the stuff you used to make your blade darker. Thanks
+Knightshade2311 Its metal darkener made by JAX, i get it here www.gessweincanada.com/product-p/407-4590001m.htm thanks for watching!

+Jakob Baird same :)
+William Aaronson Thanks man! appreciate it!
+Jakob Baird Thank you! Im looking forward to making more content!
those are some dull chisels dude...
you sell it? can it cut real life things? bone, meat? when yes than i FUCKING NEED TO BUY THIS BEAST
Hey, i still have it, i did not sharpen or harden it because i made it as I prop just for the video, i will sell it if you really want it though, make an offer. Thanks for watching!!
+WeldedWoodWorks hi! where can i offer this?
Im not sure how to send a message over youtube. you can tell me here if you want. i've been offered $100cdn before plus shipping.
+WeldedWoodWorks could you ship to germany or hungary? you know border controll
I dont think so, it is still a steel machete and would not pass through a border.
Do you sell these?
Where did you find the template?
I made the template by outlining a google image and printing it roughly to scale. Thanks for watching!
@@FireHeartProjects I was just doing the same thing
that's from new vegas not 3
In my opinion I think you should comontate in other words tell us what you are doing

Have you done a bumper sword yet?

What type of black tape was that?
+Legate Lanius Black hockey tape
SlavMakesStuff thank you
ave true to cesar
Where did you get your blueprint?
I traced an image in MS Paint and printed it off to scale
No tempering ?
+Nick490 not for this as it's just a prop. if i was making a usable knife i would heat treat and temper it.
Oh I didn't know it was a prop.Any way's good work.
+Nick490 thanks for watching!
is it for sale?
+Jakob Baird Hello, yes I would sell it as a prop, it is not a functional machete.
how much?
Ive been offered $100 CDN, if you really want it you can have it for $120+shipping from ontario.
ill have to save up then
but i will get it
