You can copy and paste this for the special character 😁
That's the coolest little thing, I'm gonna buy one as a letter opener.
Can we make a normal size version of this plz.
In America schlong is a Nickname for a penis 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i laughed when he said full tang with a "TINY PEEN" at the end.
Petition to make this sword and pattern in real scale and have them side by side
Edit: But it has to be made in The Pocket Forge's workshop
Yes please!!
Agreed!
Imagining Alec having to make a full size guard using his tiny mill....
Petition signed
I second that.
Thanks Alec and Jamie, so lovely to finally meet you both and work together on this! It was very humbling to see first hand how much passion, energy and dedication you put into your work and I learned so much!

It’s just a bad case of incurable autocorrect 😂

Alek with a K 😂
Now you need to go to his workshop and use his small tools to make a full size sword
And he have to bring his bridgeport and his lathe as well.
That is a bloody good letter opener you guys made there.
Literally my first thought lol
That you were able to say "Schlong" sword with a semi straight face in itself was amazing. 😂😂😂
I think it spelled Shlong in this case. Not a penis sword.
I love this, so often you see projects being done online and they use £20,000 worth of tools and it just seems unatainable, he was using a lot of stuff normal people have, like making that tiny lathe out of a drill
This is awesome, I actually bought some of ThePocketForge's earliest pieces when he first started doing this. He made me a custom pair of tiny Witcher swords, which I still have and enjoy very much.
Edit: Btw, it's called a scent stopper pommel because it's shaped like the top lid of some styles of old perfume bottles. When you put the top back on the bottle the scent stops emanating from it, hence scent stopper.
Hey you!!!! Thanks so much, and for the knowledge- that makes waaay more sense 😂
Why has he got nail polish on?
@@MasterBlaster3545 Because he wants to?
@@MasterBlaster3545 It makes your nails pretty? Why does anyone wear anything cosmetic? Because they like it!
@@MasterBlaster3545 Why not?
Now make a full size sword out of a bigger nut , bigger bolt and bigger popsicle stick ....I know if anyone could
"it's amazing how much you can abuse tools if you don't have anyone to tell you not too"
Best quote and one of my new mottos!
My first (and to-date only) forging project was a 10" claymore letter opener. It was a lot of fun and really a great way to make the craft more accessible to people with limited resources or space.
I don't know what I expected out of this... but it far surpassed it! Absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
That was incredible 👌
Great work Lads, I love the damascus pattern.
I am impressed by how well that nail polish was holding up during the project
I was vomiting
@@theredsaint11why are you bothered?
@@nopegs420 because he is a male
@@theredsaint11 imagine being this weak
@@normalityhq4739 And? I don't see why this would be a problem.
Hands down the most badass letter opener I've ever seen!
Ben's toolbox is like that one old guy from Toy Story 2. So cool.
the thread wrapping of the handle reminds me of the creation of fly-fishing lures and all their custom equipment they use for winding thread around small objects. Great work!
That guy has got some talent. Hopefully you help him build a full size now.
I love the juxtaposition of this project and the last video with the giant lamp.
This was absolutely amazing to watch, i would definitely watch more of this type again and I plan to show this to my friend that wants to make sharp, pointy things.
Beautiful workmanship. Thank you very much for highlighting this wonderful artisan. Now with every Long Sword comes a miniature duplicate for EDC.
If I add miniature smithing to my existing hobbies of miniature painting and scale model making, I'll have a tiny trifecta!
Tell your family and friends you just have a few little hobbies or what?
no i imagine someone smithing tiny swords for their spacemarines and at every single game he cuts himself on them by accident only to sigh and say "khorne truly does not care from whence to blood flows..."
Thus would be an awesome introduction to sword smithing to new smith's. Also lucrative. You can easily sell these verses large ones. As for the drill lathe. I've done that myself to make a replacement firing pin for an antique revolver.
So happy to see 2 of my favourite Makers together making!! Year made!!
8:07
working in aircraft ive had to hand fashion alot of my own little doodads and whatnots, and every time i do it with one chuck drill in a vice and a dotco for sculpting
I started making rings to sell at our local street fairs like two years ago, and I still use an electric drill and a dremel for all my work. I only do like 100 rings for each fair, one in the summer and one in autumn, takes about two days to make one, it works a treat
loved this one , bc it was belivible that they both had much fun making this . love
Great episode! Amazing how much can be done without a complete workshop! Very inspiring
Proxxon tools are awesome for miniature work!!! Started woodturning on a mini-lathe and its perfect to make rings!!!
I've actually been thinking about making one of these recently. But like even smaller, like the nail you use for the guard sized.
im not gunna lie, WATCHING the etch happen is really cool. usually you just dip it n leave it in a tube so theres nothing to see lol
learning Blacksmithing from watching these videos around the same time im trying to quit smoking, i cant believe how perfect your sponsor was!!!
Ben is amazing!! Let's get this man some great mini tools!!
You have to make the same one but normal size! That’s awesome.
It has been my understanding that particular shape of pommel is called a scent stopper because it resembles the stoppers on "scent" (perfume) bottles.
it also stops one from smelling anything when hit upon the nose with it. lol
That's so cool! I made a pair of tiny swords (a buster sword and a masamune) in the metalshop at college in between other tedious tasks (if you've ever had to make a matching pair of hand lapped faces to prove you're capable of wielding a file you'll know the feeling) but they were just solid steel filed to shape
Making mini swords is really fun. I made an viking era swordt a few years ago from an old small file, so I could harden and temper it, a
large nail for crossguard and a 2 piece 3 lobd pommel..
Totally not as nice as this one but really fun to make.
I used to make those back in the 80s, great fun in a home shop. Perfect gifts for nearly anyone. Mostly I used cut nails for stock.
This was so cool! Unreal how well it came out
Thats exactly how I started. I love the miniature swords.
This was just fantastically cool!
I enjoyed this work more than I should!
That came out so rad. You guys did amazing work on that massive long sword
Such an amazing collab! Two of my favorite artisans!
Wow the pattern looks sick on it. Because it's a mini blade the pattern looks massive and would take a ton of time to get such a big pattern.
That is honestly the first time I've ever seen twisted Damascus and thought it was beautiful ❤️
those small drills look exactly like the ones i used when i used to be an optician! frameless glasses can be made with those as well as fixing snapped screws
That was super awesome!!!!!
Love the idea and execution!!
I'Ve been watching his videos for years, don't think I ever knew what he looked like, this is cool.
Now we need a 46 part series on yall making a miniature damascus power hammer!!! Please?!?!
Wow Alex. I am not a big commenter but this is one of your most brilliant videos and you do have many of those. It gives hope to the small scale operators. And that was a niffty patterned blade.🎉 keep up the content Dude.
This type of thing was my dream as a child, I found something similar as a kid on an old art piece it was covered with mini long swords and halberds and after taking it apart I found all the weapons where real but just miniature.. they where even sharp....
The sword made was exactly like the type of thing I dreamed of as a upgrade to those~
Most aggressive handshake I've ever seen
I have made a few small swords and knifes they are fun to do, great job guys 👍
I can see how this took off! They're amazing little swords, and i simply must have one.
So amazing!! The collab we all needed in our lives!!
I've always wanted to try this! And yes, at home.
A most excellent piece of work. Thank you kindly for sharing your combined talents.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Such a cool milling machine
Jamie and Alec, amazing talent between you both. Jamie a real master of the miniature
omg the pattern on it is so beautiful
The two of yous make a mighty fine team. Please do more collaborations! ❤
WOW! That is some wildly impressive work gents!
Looks great! Well done both! 😁👍🏼
Beautiful pattern on the blade. Wow i love it
I also have a shlong sword. I didn't make it myself, but I did grow it in to full size. It too can be dangerous if not used with care!
I actually had low expectations but it turned out brilliant! Well done!
Was not expecting the nails !!!!
thanks for doing this alex, this hit home because when i was younger i would watch you, then go forge mini swords in my barn with a blow torch and a hammer, thanks for your awesome videos
Great collab! The end resolve was Grand!
Very cool! I wanted to see how he made the fuller though!
Extremely inspirational. I'm going to try this very soon.
4:00
good to know Alec is still has his natural British instincts of wanting to stab things.
What a gorgeous little thing you made!
I loved his miniature designs!
This is without a doubt the best thing I've seen in a long time. I'm 100% using the drill angle grinder combo
That's a gorgeous blade! Nice work gents.
Alec, I really needed a good laugh today, and you didn't disappoint! I love miniature work, like Clickspring.
8:31 Alec, you sound as if you'd never used a drill clamped into the vise as an improvised lathe! I've been doing that for ages. One of my drills had a speed adjustment knob built into the "trigger" so I could regulate RPM with it, my replacement drill when the first one died had speed regulation by the depth of depression of the trigger, so I used a string and a stick and how much I twisted the stick controlled how much the string tightened, thus squeezing the trigger slightly more or less. I also never needed to do anything even remotely precise with it so I could get away with not buying a lathe and overindulging in shameless tinkery instead.
Been watching for years. Awesome collaboration.
The tiny milling machine is so adorable!
Impressive result! Apparently it's called a scent-stopper pommel because some scholars (probably from the XIXth century) thought it looked like the plug of bottle of perfume
What a brilliant little project, really like it!
That is a sick damascus!!!
Seriously missed the Whack Whack. More please!
What an amazing fella! What amazing work he does!
Awesome video! An real cool mini-sword 👍🏻
i collected those little swords and knives/letter openers for a little while❤😂😂 that turned out with a really cool pattern
Wow !!! Absolutely beautiful Damascus pattern.
What a beautiful pattern on that blade!
Please do a 24hr tiny sword sale thing with the both of you I would buy one
Great work guys! That's an amazing Damascus pattern! Now Imagine a full length sword with that pattern 🤔
I watched this 5 months ago when it came out. I just saw him put the guard behind his ear when alec handed it over for finishing
That is so cool!!! Miniature swords
Really nice pattern in the wee blade
I make action figures re weapons, been doing it for years, Leo's swords (done in metal and Pewter) Mikey's Nunchucks (so hard to run the chain so it hangs well) ....Ive done butcher knives and even Raf's Shi( had to mold that one, did it as a sand cast) 3 cm high with handle
Dudes manicurist was probably wincing at those close up shots. He needs a touch up soon.
Alec you need to make a full scale version of that aiming to recreate that Damascus pattern. Maybe gift it to mini sword dude.
That is gorgeous, and I bet my old 70's action man would have been the bomb with that. 😂
That's awesome!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!👍👍
That was a sick sword; the hamon on it was beautiful.
That has to be the cutest little milling machine i've ever seen!
