"Holly crap" is exactly the right "Doctoral" response and vocabular. How deep of a student debt had this extinguished title put you in? Anyways, worth every penny.

This made me rembered the movie "Doctor Zhivago".

17:30 dear god, sleeves! SLEEVES!

That sword is used by the doctor when they realize that His patients do not have health insurance

You used more skill and creativity than fancy machines and the result is amazing! It's not too deatiled but its proportions are on point, so it looks like a real historical replica.

I guess his right earbud broke.

My master at blacksmithing, a master swordsmith, used to heat pommel tangs for peening through friction by using an old sanding disk (one so worn it no longer sanded, or a not-so-old one put _backwards)_ on an angle grinder. Worked like a charm. JUST the tang got cherry red in seconds with no undue heat to any other part of the pommel. Just in case you need again to deal with a similar situation.

Looks amazing! Please tell me, that she'll wear this on the job.

Wait, you said some of the Material contained lead? I hope you marked the tools you used on those parts, because you shouldn't use them on anything else anymore. When I trained to become a goldsmith, at one point we got the chance to work with Niello, a technique of surface ornamentation. Niello (name for both the technique and the used mateial) contains high amounts of lead, and the teacher gave us tools to use, that were only to be used on this workpiece, and told us to not use our own tools for this, because you will not be able to get the lead off of the tools, and every piece you use these tools on will be contaminated to a degree with this lead. This was bad mostly due to lead having the habit to "eat" into other materials when heated, creating pockmarks in the surface.

Купил Гриндер и ты уже кузнец ,для приличия молотком помахал по нагретому металлу, а потом на гриндере всё довёл на нужных размеров, такие нынче кузнецы

Greetings 🙏 and RESPECT from Greece 🇬🇷.

Your work is truly admirable, keep it up. Congratulations directly from Minas Gerias - Brazil!

Hippolitus' swearing: you can't hurt anybody Finnish doctors: so anyway, here's your sword

v

“A doctoral sword” Since when does one need an excuse to gift a loved one a SWORD!?

I got my Ph.D. forty years ago. Nobody ever told me about a sword.

But you Don't handle the sword everyday. Two completely different thingS lol...... But this is an amazing sword You have definitely earned yourself a subscriber.

Amazing work!

Nice to see you using Holly wood for the handle. I have a large length of Holly that I've been seasoning for about 5 years now.

Regarding the guard bent the wrong direction....at least you didn't leave it that way, and call it a "fantasy" hilt 😄 Gawd I hate when they do that.

That's a class! Thank's for sharing!!!

Aspects of your setup are so janky they gave me eye cancer, and you still made a nicer blade than many bladesmiths I know with decades of experience

I love your videos, and I hope you make more soon. But deaden that anvil.

I guess in Finland they still give the "doctor's" sword to those who defend their doctoral dissertation (PhD)... or at least they used to do so at the end of the 20th century... Great job! I'd love one! :)

I literally just saw your post about this on Reddit like 14 hours ago and now I find you randomly on UA-cam.

HES BACK!!!!

well of course you make her a sword doesnt everyone usually?

You do amazing work and have a very pleasant vibe to your video!!!

@5:45 "if you stop calling it a small sword and start calling it a spadroon the weight is fine then".

Great video as always!

I definitely recommend getting some thick mil nitrile gloves for sanding. It keeps all those particles off your skin. They’re pretty cheap at Harbor Freight or Menards.

Unbelievable! It is absolutely stunning.

Amazing work!!! I’m going to have to watch it again because of the craftsmanship…

Wow!

glad you're back, I watched some of your content on making roman gear the other day and was saddened to see someone like you stopped uploading!

excellent job!

Can’t wait to see this running

Would it be possible to put bits/crumbs of dry wax into the recess and then heat it with a low heat gun (or even a high watt hair dryer) to melt it all together? I am looking to make a large number of these soon (AP Latin class, looking to make a class set, ~30 tablets to make 15 books) and want the fastest and easiest method.

Obvio yanke si el gladius es la espada Romana🤷‍♂️

Lol. That’s awesome. 👍🏼

1700 F for at a minimum 8 hour soak, will give you about a 1.6mm or about a 16th of inch of higher carbon steel. Don't forget to thermocycle the steel atleast 1 hour at 1400F. Water Quench. Should end up around 58-60 Rockwell hardness.

AWESOME video - THANKS!
